Just wanted to give you guys your props, the better team won the battle on this day. I thought your team outcoached us, we seem to have no answer against the Haslet blitzes. I really really hope that doesn't start to become a problem for us. I'm really trying hard to understand why we can't ever seem to counter your blitz schemes. It's almost Jim Johnson all over again! McCoy played a hell of a game, we really seemed to have no answer for the guy. I knew coming into the game that this was gonna be a bloodbath, and as usual your team doesn't disappoint. See you guys at the end of the season! :)

Cowboys were definitely out coached tonight. Haslett owns Romo and Garrett.

Owns? We swept them in 2011. We swept them last year. They swept us in 2012. They won tonight. So Garrett/Romo leads 4-3. I know they may give us fits but actually having a winning record is quite the opposite of being owned.

Romo gets beat into the ground whenever he plays against Haslett. Win or loss, Romo gets beat to within an inch of his life.

That's becoming a consistent trend it seems. I don't know what it is about Haslet's blitzes that causes us fits. I don't know if its arrogance on our part or what.

Max protection and / or play action would have slowed it down but Cowboys went shotgun crazy again, especially when Romo returned. It was insane. My wife almost divorced me with all the expletives and breaking stuff in the house. I had to pause the game and take a walk for the sake of my sanity, and my marriage.

Because we play right into his hands. I've never seen an NFL team that has an all out blitz ran against them that often in a game and never seem to adjust. Where is the all out protection scheme where we aren't going 3 and 4 wide in empty sets? That was just so amateur hour when we kept running that formation yet they kept bringing 6 and 7.

And while they are running that, why aren't we finding Dez 1 on 1 in the open field?

I saw a few replays....the guys weren't getting any separation. Dez and Terrence both weren't getting much separation. That plus a all out blitz? Very depressing to sit and watch it constantly over and over again for another year.

I mean how is no one open though? If they have all out blitz in a 4 or 5 receiver set..........how can no one get any separation? What routes are these guys running?

I saw Giants and Eagles receivers eat that secondary for lunch when they played the Skins. Twill and Dez not being able to get open worries me a little then. Watching on tv it's hard to see what is happening down the field in the secondary.

I can't say every play. But when you would get a replay......and I've seen it before. I've seen this team have problems with reading the blitz and being able to beat it. I'm not going to overreact. I'll be over this loss by the morning. But my worst fears came true today. I've been wondering all season what would happen when a team blitzed us all game and on offense went deep on us. I don't feel like we've been tasted in both departments like this all year.


Hopefully it goes well though. They could potentially learn from this. That's the only good you can come from this game.

Skins played a lot of underneath coverage when blitzing, Cowboys just did not have any time to throw over the top and all the slants and in routes were well defended. T Will made an amazing play at end of game to prevent the INT & pick up first. Skins adjusted better than Cowboys after first half but Cowboys were still gnashing them with run. Haslett and Skins were praying for Romo to pass out of shotgun, and Linehan /Romo obliged them to their lasting regret.
