It was asinine. I bitched the entire second half about it.Garrett's "dedication to the run" is fucking lip service.
When things get tight, he goes pass happy for some reason.

GTFOI could see this team losing at least 2 out of the next three. Nothing the last three weeks have caused me to have great faith they will turn it around. They've gotten worse each week.
Playing a hot Bucs and Lions team will be tough, and a Division team on the road. We may be playing in the Wildcard round fellas.
The Bucs and Lions are barely skating by subpar teams. They have winning streaks but I don't know if I'd call them hot.I could see this team losing at least 2 out of the next three.

The thing is that Super Bowl teams usually start playing their best this time of year. We are getting worse.Last night certainly sucked but in the grand scheme of things we're still 11-2 and firmly in control of our own destiny.
Even though the offense is slowing down, I don't think it's time to panic just yet. If you look at the NFL record books you will only find one Super Bowl champ that went undefeated throughout the regular season and only a couple of SB Champs who finished with 1 loss. My guess is that Super Bowl champions average about 4 losses per year. Therefore if you were honest with yourself, you had to know we probably have another loss or 2 coming to us. Even the beloved dynasty teams of the 90s suffered 3 or 4 regular season losses along with way.
Hopefully we can get healthy versus Tampa. If the offense gets back on track and Dak gives us the 20-27, 250 yard, 2 TD, performance he's given us most of the year.....yesterday's performance will be viewed as a minor bump in the road.
So vent today, but remember all is not lost as we're still the team to beat in the NFC.
Stafford is incredibly impressive on a week in, week out basis and Tampa Bay just beat up on Seattle. It isn't going to be an easy road for us. Hopefully we get Atlanta in the first game.The Bucs and Lions are barely skating by subpar teams. They have winning streaks but I don't know if I'd call them hot.
This is not the first game he looked rattled, but it's the first game he didn't recover. He definitely looked rattled against SF, Minnesota, Philadelphia and Baltimore in the first part of each of those games.I agree I think he has become too risk adverse and is holding on to the ball to long.
I am at least happy on the 2nd int he cut it loos and was giving Bryant a chance to make a play.
This is the 1st game he actually looked rattled and that is cause for concern.
Stafford hasn’t been lighting it up. I have him on my fantasy team so I've been following him closely on a weekly basis. He's been making plays in the clutch but for the most part I wouldn't classify what he's doing as incredibly impressive. They're doing just enough to win, as I pointed out earlier. There's a reason the Lions have so many 4th quarter comebacks. They're very sporadic.Stafford is incredibly impressive on a week in, week out basis and Tampa Bay just beat up on Seattle.

The thing that worries me is that this is the time of year when high powered offenses start to slow down. It happens every year.Defense played a pretty good game, so if the offense can get back on track I feel a lot better about the team's chances in the playoffs...especially if Claiborne comes back.
Was nice to see some pressure on Manning last night.

I agree and it gives us a chance to see if Dak is the real deal, how he bounces back from the last 2 games will give some indication if is truly a top shelf QB.Knowing that this win streak would end, I think I would rather lose a game now and have the team
re-focus and re-dedicate for the stretch run. Let's hope the rebound is swift and strong.
Alot of that happens when the top offenses play on the road in hostile environments, especially in cold/poor weather, that's why this Tampa game is so curious to me. They are a good defense, but not a great one, I would say they are a notch or two below the Giants and Vikings, and we are at home after two poor offensive games in a controlled climate.The thing that worries me is that this is the time of year when high powered offenses start to slow down.

I disagree, I think he was off in those games but in the 4th last night he looked spooked, like he had no idea what to do.This is not the first game he looked rattled, but it's the first game he didn't recover. He definitely looked rattled against SF, Minnesota, Philadelphia and Baltimore in the first part of each of those games.
Yep this game will tell us a lot about this team.Alot of that happens when the top offenses play on the road in hostile environments, especially in cold/poor weather, that's why this Tampa game is so curious to me.

I expect a big offensive performance, and if we don't get one, that's when I start looking hard at Romo.
