Getting blown out for another month of December about says it all. That is a tough one for a fan to square with on an emotional basis.
Burma, I think it stands on lack of merit for a whole list of players such as Anthony Spencer on the outside. There was the left on a clothesline hanging by clothespin for Newman (left hanging out to dry). Then there was Jay Ratliff who I frequently being double teams but merely standing in place and mildly hopping up and down, if that. He didn't even challenge either of the two blockers. He was supposed to be an All Pro this season, and got handled by a replacement center.
Just supporting burma's comment here. But the real tale for fans here, is that this isn't the time to just tossing insults around. There are definitely changes coming. Frustrations about the conduct of the defensive secondary, I hope doesn't translate setting the interior line offensively, on a strong ground this off season. That should dominate all priorities. If this offense could have forced issues on that side of the ball, for more than a single quarter, this game could have actually gone a different route.
The Cowboys will only have enough firepower this nest draft, to fix one positional group. If one is realistic...and for the record, I hope that is solely given to the offensive line's interior.
Tony Sporano could help on the offensive side as well. There already is a relationship between Sporano and Garrett. That would probably help. I just don't see Turner returning at this point in his career, to Dallas. But Norv and Sporano would both help out.
On the defensive side, Rob Ryan has to take a dramatic step forward next season in his present directions....or stop putting his secondary on frequent islands and getting burned. He either cuts back to a bend and don't break, or adds dominant pieces in the off season to make his sytem work. Work in December, it did not do this year.
