Garrett is good coordinator. He's not a great coordinator or a genius. That's about it.

Judas Priest.

They've figured out that if Romo is off or injured, and you subtract one 1000 yard WR and then take away another 1000 yard WR in the game.....

Then sprinkle in no starting C, that you have the keys to stopping the Cowboys offense.

If you excuse me, I am going to give Gibbs a call. I can probably sell this information for a quick million or two.

I think he's learning what it's like to enter a playoff run and how everything and everyone is playing on a different level. It;s a learning expierence and this team as well as Garrett will be better next year for it.

I think teams realize the best way to defend the Cowboys is man...by playing zone you allow guys who cannot get seperation to find open spots....and Romo reads the zone well...he can read man well too....but if Crayton or Hurd cannot seperate it is going to cause him to hesitate before passing the ball

Nope.

We moved the ball very effectively when Terrell Owens was in the line up. This game would have been a blowout if Terrell Owens would have played. The guy changes the whole dynamics of the game when he is in the lineup.

Without Owens, this offense is extremely medicore and teams do not fear us at all.

Side note, I thought running draws with Marion Barber out of the Shotgun was a great call tonight. He picked up huge chunks of yards and even a TD out of that formation.

We could win by 35 points and we'd still see the doomsayers forecasting doom and gloom.

Just when I thought there was no way a good post could end up in a thread like this, you go and post a true gem.

Thank you for restoring my faith.

We scored 17 points in the first half having TO for most of it.

We scored 3 in the second half not having TO at all.

So, using simple math, there's a good chance we score 30+ if TO stays in the game.

Would anyone be complaining then?

 

[pgreptom]

This is kind of silly.

Did you not see the first half?

Clearly, we struggled in the second half..

Let's take a quick peep, OH! That's right. We were missing our best receiver, and quite possibly the BEST receiver in the NFL!

I think teams have figured the Cowboys WITHOUT T.O out. I don't think there's any "Figuring" out the Boys with T.O

Think about it; Guorde was out tonight, Romo's thumb was bothering him a bit, and T.O sat out the entire second half almost. We had no problem scoring in the first half, just the second.

Just wait until T.O, Glenn, Crayton, Witten, and Jones/Barber step on the field together..

I should go pop in the game and see what Romo's exact numbers were when Owens was in the game.

geez, can a guy pose a question anymore?

Carolina had him figured out enough to "hold" the Cowboys to 405 yards.

They shot themselves in the foot tonight or they could have scored 35. Stupid penalty before the half, bad interception by Romo. Conservative play calling on the last fg. Gotta get the engine fine tuned, get T.O. healthy, and we'll start rolling on offense again.

 

[Use Your Illusion]

Garrett won't committ to the run. It's not been a problem this year because the passing game is usually always rolling, but when it's not, he seems reluctant to run the ball.

The conservative play calls on the last field goal were a byproduct of several things:

1. Didn't want to risk a turnover, we were about to extend it to a two score game via a TD or FG
2. Romo left points off the board on that terrible INT; didn't want to risk it again.
3. No Owens. Owens draws a lot of attention, especially near the goaline. Now teams can man up on Crayton/Hurd and double Witten....and still commit 8 in the box to stop the run.

37 rush attempts is not committing to the run? We threw the ball 42 times.

That's a 47% to 53% split.

Oh, I agree with the play calling down there, just usually we try a pass and get 7, but given the prior int. you're right that influenced the play calling on the last fg drive.
Just saying we could have scored 30+ tonight without some of our own undoing, given the 25 first downs and 400+ yards.

I think we could have ran them out of the building if TO stayed in the game because we were moving the ball at ease on them. But when he went out, Marion's runs became harder.

We need Glenn back in the worse way now.

 

[Yakuza Rich]

I thought he did a pretty good job tonight. There was one play I didn't like, 4th and 1 where Marion got stuffed. They had Marion as the fullback and Julius as the tailback. My problem with it was that they had run that play earlier from that formation and Kris Jenkins saw Barber at fullback and jumped the play to stuff him.

Not only was Owens hurt, but Gurode was as well. I think this game sort of proves what Crayton really is...a good #3 who is okay to fill at #2 on *occasion*.
