So, in the same thread, we've got arguments that we should've put the game away and that our starters should've been on the sidelines for the last half of the fourth quarter. Interesting. My contributions:
I want all my offensive starters in until the opponent has no reasonable chance of tying. That didn't happen in this game. Rotate early- I don't want my RB3 getting cold carries in the fourth quarter of any close game.
We beat a good team handily in their house. It shouldn't have been as close as it was, but we neutered their offense. After last week, that is impressive by any measure.
Henry tackled like an old lady. He will never be a safety.
Adam Jones is not Deion. There needs to be a kickoff return play that calls for him to simply field the punt and advance forward at all costs in order to preserve field position. Jones caught that last punt at the 50. If he falls forward, we get the ball in GB territory and there is no time to hold. To me, that was the missed chance to put the game away.
Romo needs to learn to give up on a play in the red zone. It's becoming a pattern. Fortunately, its occuring in the first half. That said, he made many plays with his legs tonight and I feel like he's getting smarter.
Great win tonight.
