[QUOTE="Bertram, post: 189846, member: 817"] McCarthy obviously wanted to score fast and open up a lead to stun the Cowboys, making it very difficult for them to rebound later in the game. I thought before the game that such a strategy could be applied and be successful against the Cowboys. It wasn't any attempt by Favre to match Romo in big plays. However, the strategy didn't work due to bad reads by Favre. Instead of getting the ball to the uncovered man underneath, Favre tried to force it deep even in double coverage. The Cowboys exploited Favre's will to go deep as long as he was in the game, they left open the short alternatives and double covered receivers going on deep routes. I don't think it was intentional by the Cowboys to start with as they probably expected Favre to continue using the slant, but as the game proceeded they picked our gameplan apart, easily disposing of the Packers. I actually think that this game would have been a blowout victory for the Cowboys if Favre hadn't gone out injured. Rodgers brought the Packers back to the ground and utillized the strategy that got us to 10 - 1. If our defense had held up better we would have won this game, when you score 27 points on offense, it's not the offense that is the problem. There is absolutely no excuse for giving up 37 points, this game was all on our defense. We didn't manage to get pressure on Romo, and he was picking our secondary apart. We were giving up several big plays on every drive, Romo had a lot of time back in the pocket. In my opinion, it wasn't all on the secondary, it makes the job very difficult for the secondary when the QB has all day to throw, he will find an open man eventually. We were giving up big plays to several players, not only Terrell Owens, if it only had been Terrell Owens I wouldn't have worried that much because he's a great receiver. We gave up big plays to Crayton and Witten among others. It all comes down to the battle in the trenches, our defensive line didn't manage to pressure Romo, that's the key to this game. Of course or secondary did struggle, but it would have held up much better if Romo had been pressured. I can't understand why we didn't send Bigby, Poppinga and Hawk on blitzes to pressure Romo, we didn't have anything to lose by doing so because he was already picking us apart. Blame the defensive line for this one. [/QUOTE]
