During the game last night it sure looked like the O-line may have taken exception and reminded Peyton that Brees is only as good as they let him be....and that was pretty sad.

So, four games left with three against pretty stout defenses. Somebody needs to come up with a better game plan because Pittsburgh and Carolina are going to wear the Dallas - Saints game video out.
You know, when I saw that, it kinda made me feel uneasy. I wondered, now why would Payton do anything to highlite Brees' greatness to the team no less (they see him every day). While I doubt it caused the O-Line to play poorly, it did come off kind of strange.

I think the only for sure loss up ahead is pittsburgh. Their d line is almost designed like the dallas line and they have more weapons on offense than dallas. I think we sweep carolina still there d line and o line isnt what it used to be. I see 13-3 with the second seed.

That drive for the Field goal to start the second half, felt like the hardest fought warrior quest for 3 points that Drew has taken the team on, in a long long time. Drew's quarterback sneak on 3rd and 1 was pretty tough, I thought he was gonna get mauled. Man it was hard going. Maybe it was just me in the moment, after being shut out for the whole first half, but I felt like that drive was the old familiar "warrior" Drew, but that there maybe hasn't been a drive that tough and gnarly for the team this entire year.

Concerned about Kamara. How he is not in concussion protocol I do not know because that was a lethal helmet hit and he was shaken up, wobbled some.

If someone is not fined for that hit the NFL is selectively enforcing the rules.

#54 will be. He did it multiple times.

Not sure how a ref standing 10-15 feet away didn't call that on Arnold or Kamara. I thought the rules (crowning to the helmet) were put in place for this very reason. Deion Jones took out Kamara on that exact type play last season.

Yep, I hope Alvin is ok. He was definitely dazed.

I agree! That was a hard fought 3 point drive, and it felt like a momentum shift, but Dallas stayed tough and kept the door shut.
I thought we'd come back & win the game (or at least tie it up for overtime) in the 4th qtr with about 6 minutes left, Dallas was 3rd & 10 near midfield, and Dak broke 3 tackles ran for the 1st down. That was a back breaker. If we had stopped them on that series we would've gotten the ball back with all our time-outs and with plenty of time to drive the field for a score. That didn't happen. After that the clock became an issue and Drew was rattled, and it went from bad to worse.

We did stop them. Beasley was nowhere near the 1st down and I doubt they go for it.

We were out of challenges but we used them correctly. MT, that was a catch and the other one, we won. Really crazy because anyone could see that was a fumble and recovery by MT but they made us waste a challenge on it.

And the gifted first-down late in the game sure didn't help the Saints any!

Anybody have any explanation for this:


Somebody affiliated with the Cowboys on our sideline with a headset on and phone in his hand.
