Congrats to the Boys for nailing down the last NFC playoff spot. They didnt back in or stumble into it, they won it.Two solid victories back to back after alot of people (me included) thought they were toast after the SD game. I'm still liking my crow. Now onto a much bigger challenge, winning the NFC East and likely having to beat Philly two games in a row. (Or more importantly beating them two weeks from now)
1) Another very good game from Romo, who looks like a completely different QB this December as opposed to the last 3. He posted good numbers again, made a ton of great throws and probably could have had 350+ yds if not for all the dropped passes (more later on that). I'm not sure if Romo threw a single poor pass all night. The INT wasnt his fault IMO.
2) Dominating defense again. Washington never seriously threatened to score and the couple of times they could have, defense stood up and stuffed them. Thougth Ratliff had a great game, maybe his best in a month or so. The entire front 7 played well. Other than a couple missed tackels by T New, our CB's were money too.
3) Offensively, we had almost 400 yds, controlled the ball for 35+ mins, converted over half our 3rd downs and only had 1 or 2 penalties from that side. But dropped balls by RW (1 or 2), Hurd, Bennett, Austin, Barber and Ogletree combined with absolutely atrocious short yardage OL play kept us from totally blowing them out.
4) If I'm Garrett, I probably never call another short yardage run play with MBIII the rest of the yr. In fact as bad as the OL is in short yardage, I'd be tempted to never run the ball on 3rd or 4th and short anymore. They run the ball ok between the 20's, but the RB's averages are not indicative of how succesful the run game is IMO.
5) All you hosers that cried and whined for "trick plays"....there you go. I hope we never run another trick play again, in fact I'd ditch that whole wildcat garbage altogether. Any play where Romo doesnt line up at QB for us is a "win" for the defense.
6) I dont understand why they took Scandrick's sack/fumble away in the official stats. They called it a sack and marked the ball correctly after coming back from the TV timeout, but the official game stats took it away. I'd have to see the replay again, but it was either a sack/fumble or backwards pass IMO.
7) The drops by our guys were inexcusable. Roy made a nice route adjustment and good catch on the TD, then totally blew an easy pass and appeared to have his hands on the ball that was picked too, though that might have been a great play by their DB to break it up. Hurd blew a gimmee that probably cost us pts, because MBIII never gets stuffed two straight plays afterward if he makes that routine play. I counted 6 or 7 drops overall, nd yet Romo was still 25/38.
8) Great game by Witten, who now only needs 46yds to go over 1000 again. 3rd 100+ game in 5 weeks too.
9) Wade totally ****ed up the clock management on the Commanders final drive in the first half, and that probably cost us 3, if not 7 pts. That was stuff high school coaches can get right.
10) I want us to win badly next week. Would love to see us get some payback for last year, but ultimately if we have to play them again the following week, beating them that game is all that matters. Of course, a season sweep of 3-0 would be the best result. I'll settle for 2-1 as long as the "1" isnt the last one.
