but the difference between the 1st half and 2nd half by the entire team was absolutely astonishing. If it was JG who orchestrated it then my hat is off to him. I really though we were doomed after that 1st half performance, but the guys sacked up and played an inspired and tremendous 2nd half. They showed that they have guts!!
And did you see Dez after the game going back to the locker room? He was so emotional. I love me some DEZ!!!!

The Lion's were doing a lot of blitzing in the first half that they weren't known for most of the regular season. It probably caught the offense a bit off guard. Romo mentioned in his interview that he had it figured out by half time and if they continued he would have made them pay.

I think adjustments were key but I also felt like the team settled down as we got close to halftime. This team looked uptight and stiff out there early on, I think once they fell behind by 14 that was a big wake up call for them that they better get it in gear.

I remember early in the game 14-0, my girlfriend was groaning and I was like, "I'm not worried. Wait 'til halftime."

I always like looking smart in front of her. It helps counteract all the dumb stuff.

My GF is a Packers fan, but she came in the room when it was 14-0 and said "that's nothing, Romo will bring them back". She also said she's glad that I'm not one of those loser Cowboys fans like the ones on Facebook that gave up after it was 14-0.

You may need to marry that girl.
Does she also like hunting, golf, and beer? Could be a keeper.

I'll get around to it someday. I want to be sure I really know her. It's only been 11 years.

She is a big fan of beer and she likes to hit balls at the driving range.

Back in the 2004 preseason she saw Romo, Henson and Vinny and she said "that Romo guy should be the starter. He's got 'it' ".

She probably dated him in college.

Drives starting right before half until end of game:

TWill 76 yard TD
Missed FG on short field
TD drive
FG drive
TD drive for the win

I'll say we adjusted!

Adjustments are made series by series throughout the game. That's why they're looking at game film on the bench between series. Halftime adjustments are overrated, as has been stated by coaches over and over.

Garrett hasn't been good at making halftime adjustments since Sparano left, so something tells me it's the new guy in the room.

Well, I guess you'll find out Sunday if your relationship is built to last.

Yep, we've watched the Packers play the Cowboys before, but obviously not a playoff game. She is not a good sport about losing.

Only 3 real series in the 2nd half? They ate up a lot of clock.
