Boy that was a brutal first half vs Detroit

[MichaelWinicki]

Just rewatched the game (with a little less emotion ).

Amazing win but that first half 17-7 score could have easily been worse.

Romo had a very poor first half... Thankfully he was awful low instead of awful high.

The offensive line was as uncharacteristically bad.

Between bad tackling and bad angles, the defense looked very shaky.

Hopefully the team turns things around vs. GB or the Pack will hang one of those 35 point 1st-halves on the Cowboys.

Duck!

Duck!

Looking back at it, Stafford played a pretty good game all in all.

Detroit's coaching left a lot to be desired.

Stafford wasn't nearly as terrible as he was last week in GB, but he is no Aaron Rodgers, that's for sure.

I agree with your assessment of the first half, but remember--we aren't supposed to be critical after a win here. Its considered poor fandom.

Did we still win on the re-watch?

You didn't watch the Romo presser, did you?

 

[MichaelWinicki]

Did we still win on the re-watch?

Yes.

Rewatching the celebration in the owner's booth after the Lawrence sack and fumble recovery is priceless!

 

[bark]

I agree . We start like that in gb and we are down 3-4 scores at half

 

[MichaelWinicki]

I heard about it.

But it was still an "uneven" performance in the 1st half.

Well yeah, but the low passes were explained.

 

[Dave_in-NC]

Yes.

That's an image I can live with out.

 

[fifaguy]

Further testimony to the lack of quit in this team.

 

[Dave_in-NC]

Have faith my friend.

 

[MichaelWinicki]

Well yeah, but the low passes were explained.

I'd rather them be completed.

 

[lwehlers]

that first was awful and really thought that the lions would blow the cowboys out. I also agree that the cowboys cannot get off to a slow start against the packers or the game will over by halftime.

you need to watch Romo's post game speech

 

[Dave_in-NC]

Hey Wininicki, I think they want you to watch Romos presser.

I was so mad that every unit seemed to come out flat. The offensive line couldn't handle the blitz and Romo got destroyed. He mentioned he short armed a bunch of throws instead of forcing them to avoid any INTs.

The Defense allowed two long TD drives, was tackling poorly and taking horrible angles.

Special Teams killed us with the running into the Kicker penalty

There were a couple fumbles we were lucky to get back and if Romo doesn't hit TWill in stride, we go to halftime down at least 17-0.

I was seriously depressed right before half, but after the long TD it was still a winnable game. The start to 2nd half almost sent a brick through the TV.

But he had to add, "I could have hit some of those tight ones"

No Tony, you did good.

The second half was a thing of beauty though. We dominated on both sides of the ball.

Other than that two sack sequence by Suh, we completely outmuscled and outsmarted them.
