Sensabaugh was held. No doubt about it. But we lost because we couldn't run block or tackle, not because of the refs.

The OL is getting an overhaul, no doubt. But I really like our chances if its correctly spotted at the 35.

Based on what? When Osi returned the fumble to the 28 in the previous series they punched the ball in with no problem. What makes you think the 35 was going to be an obstacle?

Give him the rock and lets see what happens. Why cant he get the ball 15 or 20 times just once? It makes no sense at all. Everyone with an ounce of sense can tell that MB3 hasnt been effective since week 2, but our coaches dont have the guts or possibly the authority (see JJ) to pull the trigger on key personnel decisions.

Please dont tell me they did, because he was thrown to two times the whole game, which pretty much ties his season high. There is no excuse for not having him out there in the two minute offense as well.

I am ****ing tired of seeing 2 yards and a cloud of dust Barber. Start Choice. pay attention Jerry. Get it done.

And they stopped them a few times too.

What did Eli complete 11 passes?

I knew that woildnt be a MB3 game from the start but Choice wouldnt have done too much better

I just don't see any particular reason for optimism there. After the 5 play drive for a TD, the fumble recovery and quick TD, and then getting that play from Jacobs in successive possessions, I don't see how you can look at that as a favorable situation or with any optimism.

The OL didn't forget how to block suddenly. It wasn't just getting the safeties involved in the run defense. It was also a lot of run blitzing.

If you want to complain, then complain about the numbers of running plays. But if you do keep in mind that we don't convert a high percentage of 3rd and long plays. Therefore there was a reason to try to get us into 3rd and six at least 3rd and seven.

My complaints are we probably did run a little too much even considering the above. Some of it was necessary though. We didn't use play action much but OTOH with that much run blitzing what was the chance of slowing the LBs and freezing them for a fraction of a second.

We didn't throw the ball deep or even run the patterns. That really bothers me some. Maybe Red thought Romo wouldn't have the time to do that and it would risk more hits on your QB and probably another sack or two.

***** all you want but the real killer in this game was two plays. I'm not even that upset over the fact we weren't stopping Jacobs for two or three yards. He is a bear to bring down. That didn't cost us the ball game although the tackling could have been better esp on the punt return. I'll give the Giants the other drives. It's their due. The defense wasn't likely to produce a shutout. We could have won a game giving up only 17 points.

My other beef and this is been going on for more than a couple of games is we are generating a lot of offense and not seeing the point production we should. I attribute this to drive killing mistakes, poor play calling esp in the redzone, and esp the lack of use of the run game near the goal line.

They need to dump the ball off to him in space... He's amazing in the open field.

Red thinks screens have to be behind the LOS.
