Bash me if you want, but I think that this team CAN get it going in the second half of the season.
First of all, let's look at each loss.....
#1: Jacksonville. What was the achilles heel in that game? 3 INT's by Bledsoe at inopportune times and a missed FG by Suisham. Yet, we were in position to win the game. This was a game that I said we got "Bledsoed".
#2: Philadelphia. Again, the achilles heel? 3 more INT's. Let's not forget about the 3 fumbles and 7 sacks. Yet, if anyone remembers that game, where were we at at the end of the game? About to tie it until Bledsoe throws that out in the endzone which was picked off and returned for a TD. Once again, we got "Bledsoed".
#3. New York. Achilles heel? INT's and sacks again. Romo threw 3 and Bledsoe threw 1. Sacks? 6 of them. 4 on Bledsoe and 2 on Romo. Also what needs to be noted was that Romo came in in the second half and still threw for 227 yards. Not a bad half and we all saw that the team rallied behind him and seemed to play much better. We also saw Romo picking up a couple of longer distance 3rd downs.
#4. Washington. What can you say about this game. We took a vacation and never came back. Washington had a week off just to prepare for us and still barely beat us. It was their Superbowl as it is every year. A dropped pass which would have been a TD by T.O., which was critical, IMO. This is a game where I say that we were "T.O.'ed".
As you can see, QB play played a big role in each of our losses except for the last week. QB play SEEMS to be fixed....at least it has the past couple of weeks.
I think the offense will begin to gel and bring the penalties under control. The escapability of Romo masks the holes in our O-line which REALLY needs revamped in this off-season.
The run defense is fine....it's the pass defense which really concerns me and the lack of a pass rush especially.
I think this team is much better than how they have been playing....and like Peter King says....I'm just waiting on them to show me (or whatever he said.
