1. Great game by our D. Except for the McCoy screen play, we didn't give up a big play. We bend and gave up field goals mostly which almost always translates to a win for us. Decent pressure but not quite great. Good play by Butler. He really should play more. DBs were excellent! Don't look now but Jenkins is a playmaker on D. He's quick and can make up ground. Best part is that he ACTUALLY will INTERCEPT the ball.

2. Love this type of slug it out games especially when we win. It shows that we can take a punch and get right back up. Much more satisfying than blow outs. This type of win on the road agains division opponents built confidence.

3. Except for the forced INT throw to Witten. Romo was excellent. Dare I say he MANAGED the game very well. He took what was given and took sacks instead of forcing things which is what the Eagles, Steelers prey on. He's still a little off throwing to Roy (it's Tony on the first slant in the end zone to Roy....it was way behind him and got deflected). Watch out! If he and Roy can figure out the timing and D have to be honest with both WRs....our O isn't firing on all cylinders yet.

4. Good specials team play again. Got me sweating a bit when Hobbs returned it for a TD but the Flag saved the day. Buhler didn't have a touchback but action Jackson was missing today. Thats good!.

5. We won the turnover battle!!!! When we don't beat ourselves, we are very tough to beat. I think our team esp. Romo has figured this out.

6. I really like to see Choice and Jones in the 1st quarter more instead of Barber. Barber is a great closer when the D is a bit worn down but he just doesn't have the burst of Choice and Jones to hit the hole when the D is still fresh. I am officially on the bandwagen of starting Choice. BTW, nice wild cat with overload to one side.

7. Nice YAC Ogletree. Keep it up. I am just waiting for Garrett to run a variation of this play in the future. It will be a fake block by one of the WR with Romo pump fake then steak down the side line.....TD!


DOES THIS COUNT AS A BIG GAME NOW?!:laugh2:

This counts as a big game! This game was by no means a fancy win, but Dallas showed heart and determination and was able to slug this one out. Great win.

Romo was under a lot of pressure on that end zone pass that was behind Roy. He gets a pass on being off on that throw.

No doubt he was under pressure. That's what separates Manning and Brady from everyone else.

I am sure he'll get better with his accuracy to Roy.
