Here’s how the Cowboys deployed personnel on their 70 offensive snaps, excluding Tony Romo’s first half-ending kneeldown: 1 RB/1 TE/3 WR (‘11’ personnel): 24 of 70 snaps (7 first half/17 second half) WHAT IT MEANT: It meant the Cowboys’ substitution patterns varied wildly, after a regular season in which, except for short-yardage and goal-line situations, the team had 10 players, plus Anthony Fasano, Oliver Hoyte or Sam Hurd in the game. There was an absolute ton of different guys rotating in and out of the game, with Tony Curtis, Miles Austin and Terry Glenn in the mix more often. I’m all for this, if you’ve been doing it all year. But to do it in the playoffs, and perhaps upset the continuity of the offense, when you haven’t been doing it from game-to-game is questionable. Of course, the tune would be different if they’d won. |

1 catch on a crossing pattern, one full out fly pattern, and were all worrying about Favre right now... so frustrating. However, I question Play calling as well, why no screens to slow the blitz, no draws, why all long patterns when the Gints brought the house? No coordinated roll outs to slow the blitz? nada... no slants?

Because Jason G was too busy worrying about his plans for the Ravens to come up with a game plan.

anyone notice on the last play of the game the Cowboys only sent 3 guys out, leaving 2 backs in for protection? what the heck, we're 13-3 right? p.s. I HATE this "the better team lost"crap.happens all the time in sports, right?
