3rd and 21.. clearly the play of the game.. Fault Haslett?

[Brandon Lloyd Christmas]

um, the offense scored 16 points, couldnt capitalize in the red zone, missed a field goal, and looked like **** most of the night.

one play on defense might have been the back breaker, but the offense is why we lost, not one bad defensive play.

[skins4eva]

We aren't blaming the defense. Why do you keep saying that? We are saying Haslett made a terrible, foolish, horrendous decision. The defense was fantastic all night. He put them in a vulnerable situation for no reason.

Fine--he had one bad call. Kyle had bad call after bad call all game. Why are you blaming Haslett for one decision when it was Kyle's crappy playcalling that made this game even remotely close to begin with???

[WSHRedskins3ATLBraves3]

Not a good call, but it's very easy to second guess.

The offense should have put up more points, and they definitely should have scored on the last drive as well.

We will continue to grow throughout the season and add more talent in the offseason.

This is a process.

The game unraveled about mid-way through the 4th quarter after the penalty on the Moss catch they were at the Dallas 43. They ran right for 1 yard, took a sack (which should've been a fumble) and then threw the ball again. Dallas was coming hard on both plays and a screen would've served them well. Instead, deep drops with either all or nothing.

I think you can send 7 and leave a safety back to at help. It's not like you have to either blitz everyone or play prevent...There are other options.

Exactly. The defense more than held up their end of the bargain. The offensive--the QB, the playcalling and Kyle Shanahan lost us this game.

[abdcskins]

Gotta send some LBs back in coverage...don't send the house there. I was thinking that before the snap and whaddya know.

[sfcphilip]

The Refs??? You mean the same refs that called Alan Ball for hitting a defenseless receiver? Or maybe the same refs that were looking the other way when Williams tackled Demarcus Ware? Or maybe when the same refs decided that the hit on Robinson by Landry was not hitting a defensekess receiver? Or maybe the ticky tac holding call against Bennet?

[PleaseGoForTheWin]

It was a poor call, but Dallas was likely in 2 down territory anyway. So, they may have ended up with a 4th and 10 or so if they had played a prevent D. I guess that's better than a conversion, but hell, at least Has attacked and tried to win the game. It's easy to second guess now, but the whole night we played conservatively and paid for it. We let this one get away.

[Sticksboi05]

Fine--he had one bad call. Kyle had bad call after bad call all game. Why are you blaming Haslett for one decision when it was Kyle's crappy playcalling that made this game even remotely close to begin with???

Because at that point in the game, we cannot change Kyle's certianly terrible playcalling. And regardless, we had the win almost wrapped up. Because we were 2 minuted away from victory regardless of earlier screwups that we couldn't change, and he completely whiffed on a moronic call. A game is never solely on one person but he cost us a chance to ice it.

Bad call Haslett...very bad game for Kyle

We let a crippled qb and a bunch of inept WRs running around like chickens with their heads cut off beat us. This one stings.

but the question is, do you fault the play call by haslett, or just chalk it up to a great play but dez

[1972FAN]

The team is 2-1 and might use this loss to bounce back.

Exactly, the season is still young, there is no way in hell anybody thought we would go undefeated this year. If it makes you happy, the reality is Dallas could be 2-3 by week 6, why? because they will lose to Detroit next week, than they have a bye and than go to New England = another lost.

Truth. The defense is not blame.

[Da_Truth]

If we stop them on that all out blitz, then its a great play. Romo just made a great play point blank. If you want to blame anybody you can blame the offense. Defense held them to nothing but fgs.

At around the 4 minutes or so I thought that the offense could salt this game away, but K. Shanahan did not choose to go that way. It was stupid for them not milk the clock. However, when there's one defining play in the game that's not made, it's going to magnified and scrutinized heavily.
