NFL = Not For Long

 

[Hoov]

18 players out of the league from 2 years ago. Wow.

 

[NoLuv4Jerry]

wasn't this the game where Felix Jones fumbled the opening kickoff?

wasn't this the game where Golden Tate gave Sean Lee the business?

Wow, this seems like a long time ago. Love the direction we are headed...as opposed to the direction we were headed back then.

First three possessions:

Felix Jones fumbles the opening kickoff - leads to FG
Chris Jones has a punt blocked and returned for TD after a 3 and out possession
Romo throws and interception that bounced off of Witten in Seattle territory.

Clearly not a great start to that game.

 

[DallasEast]

Excellent thread. It is almost like looking at night and day with the offensive line.

That could have been one f the worst lines in football.

We do any ting along those lines again the result will be the same.

 

[Plankton]

Can't win many games with starts like that.

A good start is especially critical in a stadium with the home field advantage that the Seahawks have.

 

[Paniolo22]

Good grief! Most of the OL group out of the league.

 

[DanteEXT]

Yep. Of course starting a game like that against most teams will probably get you beat. Up there you not only get beat but go deaf too.

 

[dwreck27]

Wow our Oline(outside of smith) and secondary(which still isnt great) is disgusting bad....

We started out absolutely awful and this O-Line is completely different from then.

Tyron was just getting started then and we didn't have Travis or Martin. This is a better O-line and it's a team more committed to the run than they were, especially then.

We can not play the way we started the game last time because we will get destroyed if we do.

Garrett's process of replacing junk with talent is coming together, slowly, but we are sitting here at 4-1...

 

[erod]

Interesting stuff.

I'd choose a different color for Josh Brent, Sean Lee, and Mo Claiborne. "On the team" is a mere technicality these days.

 

[xwalker]

That could have been one f the worst lines in football.

Cook started at Center and was the 4th option due to injuries.

Bern played through 2 or 3 injuries.

Livings played injured most of the season.

I don't forsee anybody ever giving McClain the "business".

 

[MichaelWinicki]

18 players out of the league from 2 years ago. Wow.

It shows you how poor the talent actually was.

 

[cowboys1981]

Having Leary, Frederick and Martin manning the interior line is a big step from '12.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

You know what's funny is that personnel wise I'd probably say we were better in 2012 but the offensive line is what makes things uneven. Not to mention a young Tyron at right tackle at the time.
