Winnipeg59's Dynasty Blog
I'm frankly a little leery about watching some of the wrap-up shows this weekend on TV. We simply were spanked by Dallas and didn't seem to have an answer.
I will just mention, once again, that we have both Urlacher and Hester down with lengthy injuries (and SS Danieal Manning has also been on that list since the pre-season). And during the Dallas game we also lost DE Julius Peppers for most of the second half as well. Thankfully his injury is not serious and he should be back for the Packers next week. So, needless to say, we were suffering a bit. And the Cowboys came in injury free naturally!
That said, we also didn't mount much of an offensive effort this week. There was virtually zero chemistry between Jay Cutler and either the receivers or running backs. We just never seemed to get out of first gear. In fact, come the forth quarter Coach Smith went to Todd Collins just to see if we could spark anything at all. That produced 14 points in the fourth quarter, but it was too little too late AND we also let them put 21 on the board during that same quarter, so we didn't even win that game-within-a-game!
This was a brutal game! And it will be a very big character test to see how we respond against our rivals the Green Bay Packers back home next Sunday. I hope that we can get in some great sessions this week, on the field and with film, and put this thing back on the rails before we find ourselves playing catch-up the rest of the way!
While Romo certainly lit us up, I was quite happy with what Todd was able to do in the fourth. But, no excuses...we just have to get better...fast.
