That game was bad. They looked like the St. Louis rams.

 

[Nasty_Magician]

O Line looked good, Demarco looked good so that's a plus. Romo can't be healthy can he? Either that or he never shook off the rust because it was just painful to watch today.

DeMarco looked good minus the fumble. The offensive line did not look good. Giving up key sacks and too many penalties.

 

[CarlSr]

The O-line appears extremely overrated.

DeMarco's fumble for a TD was huge.

The offense overall looked like garbage.

I think the OL was an asset to the run game and played very well in passing downs until it got to the point where Dallas HAD to pass. Was the OL perfect? No, but it looked like a strength for the most part.

Romo's dumb decisions and weak throws are the cause for this loss. FYI I'm definitely on the Romo Fan side of the Romo argument.

OL was very good. Sacks will happen, but if you give the QB 3 seconds and it's not your fault if he gets sacked or hit before he releases the ball. There were many, many plays where Romo had all day and the OL was great in the running game too. I can't imagine too many OLs played better yesterday.

Romo had a horrendous day mentally obviously. Even a couple balls that weren't picked off were head scratchers. This one is clearly on him, but there will be a few games we win just because of him too.

Romo is not healthy. He looked very unsettled in the pocket yesterday, and was not moving around especially well. Romo's arm looked especially weak, but in fairness he has never been good at throwing the deep ball. Romo also had a lot of passes sail high on him yesterday.

The O-line was decent yesterday, but they can be better. Saw shades of the "bad" Doug Free yesterday. And Tyron Smith was not at his best either. Frederick is a beast! Martin was pretty good yesterday, too.

The defense was okay yesterday, but I kind of feel like San Fran took their foot off the gas in the second half. The secondary was bad! I do not understand why our cornerbacks are giving 5-10 yard cushions on 3rd & short. Mo Claiborne literally gave away a couple first downs by allowing so much cushion off the snap. It makes no sense to not be playing press coverage in those situations. The safeties on this team suck! I can't believe Heath is getting opportunities to play Safety in meaningful situations.

The refusal to run the ball in obvious running situations is becoming a HUGE problem. Is it Romo, or Garrett that is at the root of this issue? I am not sure...

OlIne looked good, the Murray fumble was a great defensive play (held runner up and then a hard rip), and I think the defense in the second half looked serviceable. I don't think it was a situation of the 9ers being up and letting up either. What we did yesterday in the first half is what we should have done in week 3 of the preseason, but everyone was so worried about not getting hurt that we didn't really play football but more of a scrimmage. You play like you practice, and we didn't have any good practice games.

Cut down on the INT's and bad throws and the game is winnable. At least we got popped by a good team and not a bottom dweller.

I couldn't agree with this more!

It was very clear that in the first half the game was moving too fast for Romo. Probably because he hardly played in the preseason.

Romo could have avoided nearly all the sacks and the pick in the end zone by simply throwing it away. The 9 yard sack he took on 2nd and 1, he could have easily thrown away

I agree. I know fumbling is NEVER OK. But, that was just a great play by the defense. I don't blame Murray too much for that. the one thing I will say is on the replay it looked like before the scrum he didn't have the ball tucked the right way.
