It's OK, she was probably gone find something to be mad about anyway. At least you earned this one.
She's used to not talking to me during games anyway, unless she wants to get a "Uh-huh" response accompanied with a blank stare.

I salute you for your dedication to task. I’d get through a series at best, then start noticing the holds, the lining offsides and by the half, i’d discover I turned it into a critique on the refs and announcers.
I try to lay out what they did instead of commenting/critiquing too much myself. Some things are subjective, so if it's more analytical, it's hard to argue with it. For example, I was reading another OL breakdown on this site earlier where the OP said that Richards never was beaten to the inside. Well, in these two series alone, he was beaten to the inside once. You might can blame it on Hoffman for not helping him, but Richards lost engagement with his man who pressured the QB. Facts are facts. I'm not saying the other poster did a bad job in his assessment; he pretty much was spot on about Richards otherwise. But I just like the facts to speak for themselves rather than me giving the linemen more of less praise than they deserve.

I didn't do that with the defense, though, because I wanted to primarily focus on the line.

Mine hates the Cowboys. Apparently I don't act right after a loss. I'm on a solid 8 years of good behavior, but the Romo years broke her. She's probably mad she couldn't fix me, but my daughter could. Lol

As long as I rub her feet during games, mine is good with it. Of course, on some plays that rubbing gets a little intense.

There's just so much I miss the first time around, and a lot of wrong conclusions are drawn. Based on a lot of the posts on here, I'm not the only one who sees it wrong initially because you're too busy taking in the whole play to notice the individual performances unless that's all you are focusing on. I don't like speculating on play right after watching a game because you usually get a lot of knee-jerk reactions. Sometimes they are right; most of the time they miss the mark or at least don't tell the whole story.

It was easy to see, though, from the initial watch that Hoffman and Waletzko did not play well. They stood out like sore thumbs.
Exactly, and sometimes you have to watch the plate three times. Enjoy the season my cowboy brother, it’s almost upon us.
