I'm not as impressed with Haslett's game plan as some of you, mostly because he let both Murray and Randle average over 7 yards per carry. If Dallas sticks with the run at the end, they likely walk down and score. I give props to Haslett though for his blitzes. 4 of those 5 sacks came from the safeties and inside linebackers.

So I guess you think our D should be the 85 Bears or something? Dallas has a really good offense so you know going in they're going to make plays. You simply can't ask more of the defense last night.

Hear, hear! Haslett needed to take risks to hold down the score. He did and it worked. We beat a better team at their place last night, in large part because of a bold defensive game plan and a big effort by the defensive players. Give Haslett his due!

This is what it came down too, not Haslett. Without those forced fumbles, I bet Dallas sticks with the run late. And with them averaging well over 7 yards per carry, it's quite likely they would have scored. Meriweather and Breeland were hustling all game. Huge difference makers.

But like I said before, props to Haslett for his blitzes.

In this day and age when your defense holds a team to 17, especially on the road, then no excuses, we should win. Your right, cant ask anymore of the defense, plus they cause some biggggg turnovers

Exactly. Those guys were playing their asses off last night. Tackling was crisp, they forced some turnovers, for the most part they covered well, got some sacks. If the offense in the first half had their shit together that could've got ugly quick.
