There are already a thousand articles blaming one call for the final result but reality is Dallas just TOOK that game.

Redball played with more cojones than Caldwell. Dallas picked up a 4th and 6 while Detroit shanked a 10 yard punt instead of taking a shot at 4th and 1 on the Cowboys side of the field. Detroit blitzed early then got scared with the lead and sent 4 repeatedly.

Stafford is a talented kid but the DLine finally got to him late and he fumbled TWICE on that final drive. He had 3 turnovers on the day and a couple more batted balls. Romo was simply more careful with the ball.

Dallas won by 4 and HAD the ball. 1 call didn't decide that. Dallas dominating the second half did. Detroit settled for field goals twice and did not score a TD after the 1st quarter. That is coaching adjustments and Dallas settling into the game. The running game got going and Romo got on track.

Bailey had a bad miss, Romo ate some questionable sacks but Dallas played with an urgency the entire second half. The better team won. Trying to take that from Dallas is just disrespectful enough to add fuel to the fire in training this week.

Now let's hope these players that were dinged or out are ready to get back to work and go next week.
Hopefully it is all hands on deck for GB in what should be a heavyweight slugfest between the best two QBs in football in 2014.

Yes. Romo took sack rather than chance a throw into nowhere.

As a whole I think the Cowboys were tight in the first half.
We made few plays in the first half but when we needed to score we did.

I hope the Cowboy's hear the refrain from the media and all the haters that they 'were given the game' due to the Hitchen's non-call.

As they have all season, they will use the hate to motivate...

Agree. It's not surprising that the media clowns only focus on that single play. They forget to mention that Detroit only scored 3 points in the second half and STILL had a chance to win at the end of the game with 2:30 left on the clock...

One of the things that gets overlooked int hat situation is it is 3rd and 1 and if you are going to calla down the field pass play you should already have set in your mind you are going for it.

Caldwell obviously didn't.

In my mind the media outrage just makes the victory all the more sweet! It is great to be so far in somebody's head that they can't stop thinking about you.
