FEATURED Emotionally spent, but proud of what I witnessed in person

Are you serious ?

Yes, and I don't have the time to teach you football. Good day.

I think 2 of the sacks were a bit on Romo for holding the ball so long as he tried to wait on WR to uncover. I felt the OL did a great job in pass protection.

That is the purpose of audibles, hot routes, and just getting rid of it are for.

You have to be able to run the ball. Did you happen to watch the SF / Hou game last night ?

 

[SkinsandTerps]

Yes, and I don't have the time to teach you football. Good day.

Wow. They had plenty of weapons. Do some research son. Lets start with Eggerin James and Marvin Harrison, their center was Saturday, their TE was called Dallas...ugh, yeah they were good.

How many MVP's did Mr. Manning win while in Indy ? He must have been terrible before he got to Denver.

Take the time, please teach me your holiness. haha.

Yes I did neither of them were putting up points like Denver was. Dallas ran some but Dallas also moved the ball nicely all day long via the pass. If something is working you stick with it. As Tony said there are some games where the run/pass ratio may favor the run a bit more and others that will favor the pass. Dallas put up 48 points the issues was not moving the ball or scoring even from the redzone. OL did an out standing job on the day.

And as good as that was, it wasn't as good as this Bronco group, and it didn't play NEARLY as good of defense as Denver.

Pittsburgh and New England used to squelch that offense in the playoffs. They would not have stopped this Denver team.

Hyperbole is often exagerrated in the short thereafter, but I'm certain I'll never forget the day I watched Peyton Manning at his absolute best get upstaged by Tony Romo in a game that will live forever in NFL lore.

Some morning-after observations after struggling to catch my breath....

1. Never has so much been asked from a single player in Cowboys history. Damn, I was proud of Tony Romo yesterday. That was the most brilliant performance I've seen from a Cowboys quarterback in my lifetime, even with the interception. He knew they couldn't punt; he had to make a throw; he tripped on Tyron's leg and the throw came out weak; and yes, he had Murray but couldn't see him behind Tyron. The referee blew the horsecollar call on the play before. Romo knew a punt was just as good as an interception, so he let it go. Still, he went toe to toe with Peyton Manning carried the hopes of this franchise all day, as usual. Romo has been failed by this organization and team for so many years, he is CONSTANTLY in the position of having to bail it out. Never was that much asked of Staubach or Aikman, who got to just drive the bus many Sunday afternoons.

2. The reason yesterday can be a spring board is that Dallas now has a legitimate offensive line. Tony made a few escape plays, but by and large, the offensive line was good in pass protection and in the run game. This is a HUGE difference from last year, and something the team can build upon. Callahan needs to say in attack mode every Sunday from here on out, now that he's seen what they can do with this offensive line.

3. Ware disappeared yet again. Tired of arguing this subject, but he was a complete non-factor, just like he was in Kansas City and San Diego, and pretty much every big game he plays in.

4. Terrance Williams became an NFL receiver yesterday. There's a lot to this kid, and although growing pains still lie ahead, I think yesterday should catapult him to a much more productive level in the coming weeks. Cole Beasley, too, had a very nice game yesterday, and I gotta give him props since I'm often critical of his lack of versatility on the roster.

5. It's easy to blast the defense, especially after what happened in San Diego. But the fact is, Denver has done this five weeks in a row basically, so I'm going to wait and see what happens over the next 2-3 games to judge what's going on. The offense caused a lot of the problems against San Diego, but yesterday, we were just watching a truly NFL Great with unlimited weaponry against a team with ZERO pass rush.

6. For those criticizing the Tampa 2, that wasn't the Tampa 2. Dallas was playing the safeties up close and inside, rather than deep and wide. Not sure it would have made a difference. Peyton simply diagnoses everything you're doing with ease, so blitzes and disguised coverages are pointless. The only way to beat Peyton is with a great pass rush, and Dallas had none.

7. I was embarassed by the crowd, which was about 40 percent Broncos fans. However, I will say that the Bronco fans did NOT enjoy yesterday. They were arrogant as could be beforehand, and found themselves down 14-0. Then they watched Romo carve them to pieces in a comeback for the ages, and they didn't get the massacre they paid to see. They knew when they walked out that they'd witnessed a draw, and their gloating seemed hollow and unfelt.

8. Jerry and the ignoramous architect of this stadium......did they not know the sun would shine directly into the eyes of the players? That's why football stadiums are built north-and-south, Jerry. Of course, that might put a glare on your vidja board, I know. A $1.2 billion dollar joke of a mistake.

9. Remember, Denver has a very good defense. No team has done that to them. Nobody. That wasn't lost on the Broncos fans, trust me.

10. I was left with this. If Dallas plays that game against the Commanders, they'll win by 30, against the Eagles, they'll win by 20, and against the Saints, they'll win by 10. I know things won't go perfectly, but with that performance by the offensive line repeated, Dallas can play this style. Last year, Romo was running for his life every play, and the run game was non-existent. This year, they can run and protect, so they need to just keep turning Romo loose.

Meanwhile back at the Ranch, Dallas has to figure out how to play better defense against teams that don't have Peyton Manning. Starting this coming Sunday.

Nice post

This sums up Peyton Manning:

“We did not want to give them the ball back,” Manning said. “I’ve never been in a situation quite like that in the end where we needed to get the first down but we didn’t need to score. That difference was about half a yard. Knowshon and I were arguing at the end. He basically was asking, ‘How am I supposed to do that. How can I get half a yard but not get a yard and a half?’ I just said, ‘You can’t. You can’t score. You can’t do it. We have to get the first down, kick a field goal and get out of this place.’ We kept it pretty close there at the end.”

Peyton clearly did not want to give Romo another shot. Not letting Broncos score immediately was another brain fart by Garrett. Garrett was out coached by Peyton Manning.

 

[Crown Royal]

No amount of pass rush can do anything for a QB who is getting the ball out within 2 seconds.

 

[SkinsandTerps]

And as good as that was, it wasn't as good as this Bronco group, and it didn't play NEARLY as good of defense as Denver.

Pittsburgh and New England used to squelch that offense in the playoffs. They would not have stopped this Denver team.

This Denver defense is good ?

Swing...and...

Philly had 13 points late in the fourth quarter. You know, the same Eagles team that rolled through the Commanders like Oregon against Idaho State?

What few points they've allowed have generally come in garbage time. They were up 42-17 on Baltimore late before giving up 10 meaningless points.

 

[JohnsKey19]

Just win, but yeah, the Commanders coaches had to completely scrap their defensive gameplan and start over this morning. That bye week is now a waste for their defensive staff.

I doubt it. I guarantee you we will see a heavy pressure defense the entire game, which i'm sure was their plan all along. They will not sit back and allow Romo to pick on their weak secondary.

 

[Deep_South]

I really, really hope we can get to the Super Bowl and get another shot at Peyton and the Broncos.

 

[BoysFan4ever]

But in this stadium, the windows go very low, so the sun is directly in the PLAYERS' eyes from a very low angle on the horizon. At Texas Stadium, it only came in the roof, so the shade would block it when the sun got low (except for some of the fans).

I did notice that glare on the field too. It was in their eyes.

 

[kevinad1969]

As entertaining as that game was from an offensive POV, it was equally as taxing both mentally and emotionally. Will the Cowboys be able to shake this loss off and take on a division rival? Yes, I am a Commanders fan but I enjoy reading this website and I try to speak from an unbiased POV and I don't post very often but I know that loss takes a lot out of your team...he'll that even took a lot out of the Broncos and they won.

I really, really hope we can get to the Super Bowl and get another shot at Peyton and the Broncos.

We better hope we find a way to win 9 games first.
