bah, what a spineless no show
Lets see...
I have 16 credits, one of which is a senior design project for the FAA. I work 32 hours a week at one job, and 10 hours a week at another. I'm an officer in an active fraternity. I'm the president of the volleyball team, which happened to be hosting a tournament yesterday that didn't get out until 9pm. Oh, and I actually have a social life. I apologize if I can't always be at ATOT's beck and call, if you'd checked my profile, my last login to the site was early yeseterday afternoon.
Now, to the game.
Dallas played like sh!t. Flozell Adams, supposedly the leader of the offensive line, was terrible. McBriar dropped a punt. Bledsoe made some TERRIBLE throws, some because of pressure, others because...well I don't know.
However, there is one player I blame for this loss - rookie FS Pat Watkins. He was directly accountable for the Baskett TD, the Brown TD, and the Smith catch to the 1 that let up a TD. That's 21 points on #25's shoulders. Like I said in my preview, he'd played uncharacteristly well for a rookie so far...well, he showed his greenness yesterday.
However, I can still take some positives from this game. Julius Jones still looked great, and assuming Bell doesn't have a great night against Baltimore tonight, will be leading the NFL in rushing yards/game, while sharing time, and playing 3 of his 4 games against good defenses. DeMarcus Ware is a beast. T.O., while being called a "non factor" by the sportswriters, was wide open down the field quite a few times, and Bledsoe either didn't look at him cuz he has a love affair with Glenn , or horribly underthrew him. The defense contained the run fairly well.
All in all, that was a poorly executed, sloppy game by Dallas, on the road in a hostile atmosphere. A loss is a loss, a bad game is a bad game, but I can at least take solace in that with all those negatives, Dallas was STILL one QB/TE miscommunication on the 5 away from overtime.
I am still confident that Dallas will win the division, and that they will beat the Eagles when they play on Christmas.
While it was not his best game, I certainly am not one to be calling for Tony Romo. That's just foolishness at this point.
As for my pregame analysis and how it was "wrong on all costs"...well, thats just not a true statement. I was correct about rolling coverage towards Owens, Dawkins + a corner were on him almost every play. Witten DID have a pretty nice day, although it could have beenbetter. Jones did find a lot of running room. Newman and Henry held their own in coverage, it was Watkins that let up big catches. The pressure WAS on McNabb to deliver, and he did. Sure, the final score was a bit off, but anyone that watchde the whole game knows it was a lot closer than the final score would indicate, and when you've got 5 turnovers while only generating 2...hey, sh!t happens.
See you on Christmas, the Eagles are known for booing Santa Claus, I'd be praying he brings you a victory, cuz vengence will be sweet.
