When was the last time Dallas was held without a TD? They broke Romo's 20-game streak of consecutive games with a TD pass.
But man, ONE busted coverage on 3rd and 21 when the defense did everything they possibly could to keep us in the game while the offense took half the night off and Jim Haslett is the antichrist.
Sports fans just cannot do without a villain -- even when he's on the team they root for. Crazy.

You're going to have games where one side will have to bail out the other. You're also going to have games where the score will be close. What I want to see is SMART decision making throughout, especially at CRITICAL JUNCTURES. Now, an all-out blitz wouldn't necessarily have been a bad thing, IF HE hadn't TELEGRAPHED THE SAME THING TWO PLAYS IN A ROW ALREADY.
