As I wrote my pre-game post yesterday, I knew this was going to be a very difficult game. Seattle was a very desperate team and the Cowboys may have been looking ahead to the Eagles, the so called trap game.
Offense
-Dak is playing with such confidence, outside of being stopped on a 4th down try, they didn't need to punt the entire game.
-Thought Ferguson had his best game of his career, this isn't a homer statement, but he is looking like a Kelce type of TE, excellent in yards after catch
-Tony Pollard is quietly running the football better over the last few weeks, we also have seen him run for TD's in back to back weeks.
-Lamb had an up and down game in my opinion, dropped a long pass, but got the penalty, dropped the 4th down pass and should of caught a TD in that tight window.
-Nice to see Cooks continuing to produce. Tolbert made a couple nice outside of box score plays, but Gallup is a mess, seems an interception is awaiting to happen when he runs a poor route. Want to see more Turpin, made a nice third down conversion.
-Had their struggles down in the red zone again, but did score multiple TD's.
-Steele had another rough night, but I think his issues this week were more mental then physical.
Defense
-So many penalties made it very difficult to get off the field, matter of fact Seattle also never punted the football.
-Bland for the 2nd straight week really struggled. Him giving up so much cushion on 3rd and shorts needs to stop. Had a better 2nd half, but needs to play better.
-Thought the linebackers really struggled in pass coverage, Seattle was eating the defense alive around the sticks.
-Terrible job allowing the Seahawks to score a TD before half without a timeout.
-To the defense's credit, they stopped the Seahawks when it mattered the most, back to back 4th down stops, when they couldn't stop Seattle all night.
-Credit belongs to Lewis, DLaw, Osa and Parsons on the final play. I guess we need to see a Ohio State receiver to get Lewis to play like that!
-Pass rush has disappeared the last few weeks, Seattle has a poor line like Washington and yet no sacks recorded.
-What is MM doing when he refused that penalty where Seattle would of been 2nd and 19 over 3rd and 7?
Special Teams
-Audrey made all his kicks, where Seattle missed a chip shot in the 1st half.
Although ugly, the Cowboys needed this type of win. Very important W inside the conference, which at worst puts them in great position for that 5th seed in the playoffs. If they would of lost, divisional hopes would be gone and the Cowboys would be fighting to get into the playoffs with their tough schedule ahead.
As for the Eagles, if they beat the 49ers this week, the division is basically over, but if they lose, gives the Cowboys an outside chance to catch them, but they would still be in excellent shape.
