That’s the question in Dallas… and it’s pretty simple, really… Penalties… thats it. Generally you can point as penalties as PART of the problem, and there indeed were other problems… but every dang penalty was brutal. They killed Cowboy drives and kept Giant drives going… The 15 yard Jacque Reeves face-mask at the end of the 1st half killed momentum… The unnecessary roughness on Leonard Davis killed a great drive… Romo’s *questionable* intentional grounding took away a vital down and lost us 10 yards at the most important time of the game… and there are six more examples just like these…
ugh… sure there were other things… Crayton played horribly and playcalling was suspect, but in my opinion we lost the game on penalties… and for that, the ‘Boys DESERVED to lose the game… simple as that. They still had opportunity at the end, and the Romo Magic wasn’t there… or perhaps it was but when the whole 4th quarter your OLine plays like the Seattle OLine in that insurance commercial, the magic is snuffed out…
ugh indeed.
