On the game....
1) If you look at the stat line or listen to the commentators you'd think that our OL turned into swiss cheese and got Romo killed. However, if you watched closely most (if not all) of the sacks came because Romo had to hold the ball with nowhere to throw it. Romo didn't have a good game but if you saw the replays downfield, there literally was no one open....at least not early and often not late either. We ran the ball decently against a good DL but our WRs were simply not getting open. We don't have a WR that scared them so they sat on our short stuff, although Witten got his. That was a tradeoff that the Vikings won though.
2) Thought our defense actually played really well. They kept us in it and we had our chances in the third. The offense kept killing us. On two of the TDs our DBs had Rice blanketed and were inches from breaking it up or if Sensa had turned around, he would've had a pick. I also thought Rice got away with an illegal chop block then got up to catch a TD pass. Overall, I was pleased with our D, it was near where it needed to be. I think our offense left them in some deep holes and didn't help them out with TOP.
3) Not a fan or a hater of Garrett but I didn't think he adjusted too well with the playcalling. Then again, I get the impression that the playBOOK may have not been deep enough to deal with what their D was doing.
4) Truly idiotic to send Suisham out there when we were outside the 30. Was there anyone here that didn't know he would miss? Apparently Wade was the only guy who thought he could make it. More puzzling, we did it twice.
5) the last TD was pretty classless...completely unecessary. If you run it in on us that's one thing but stop trying to pad stats and disrespect by throwing it. I hope we don't forget that.
6) There isn't a team in the NFL that would've beaten Minny today. They played about as well as they can play. That was the best their D has played all year IMO. If they play that well the rest of the way, they will win out.
7) I'm not sure if to root for Favre to win the SB so he'll go away once and for all or to hope that he doesn't win it so we don't have to deal with an entire offseason of Favre-orgy
On the season...
1) I like this team. They have a fire. The defense has some swagger. They learned what it takes to win in the playoffs. They learned how to win. They pulled together and always played hard. It was a really good season overall even though it didn't end like we would've liked.
2) Our defensive personnel is good. Our offseason should look to add a weapon on offense and add to the depth at OL. Any defensive additions are just gravy.
3) I don't think JJ wants to spend the money but the best thing he could do would be to convince Wade to become the D coordinator and bring in someone like Cowher or Fisher and possibly an O coordinator. I felt like we definitely got beat today on the Xs and Os.
4) I've been back and forth on Romo but I really think he'll get us there. There aren't more than 5 or 6 QBs in the league I'd take over him and he played well the entire season save 2 games.
5) Roy Williams is a complete bust. He is dragging us down. I'm afraid we're nearly married to his contract but we have to get someone that will force a defense to adjust. Teams are laughing at RW and he's a waste of a route most of the time. I'm not sure Crayton would be better in RW's spot. I really hate to say it....but TO would've probably had 2-3 long TDs today and the entire defense would've been different. I would never want TO back but we need someone that does that. Austin is really good no doubt, but void another viable downfield threat, he can be stymied. We have to either bring someone else in, draft someone on day 1, or see what Ogletree can do full time. We have a ton of possession WRs and not enough lethality...we need someone who is lightning in and out of cuts, gets separation, and knows how to get open.
Added bonus (no extra charge):
What's up with kickers this year? If you could have any K from another team who would you take...guys that have traditionally been money have been terrible...Rackers, Kaeding, Folk, ....Akers is the only one I can think of that's been consistent this year.
And how ironic that one of the lowest paid starters, K, seems to decide so many games late in the season and playoffs. Solid D and a consistent K can almost get you a SB these days. Its actually sad.
