This was like the Texans game on a smaller scale, everything was bouncing Cleveland's way, they were overconfident, then they came out flat in the second half, blowing their load in the first half. [Reply]

Was that the drive we would have run if we were down by 4 in that situation? Because aside from going for it on 4th down, we needed a scoring drive there. The game turned out wonderfully, but I don't like that we took the ball out of Mahome's hands on the decisive drive of the game. Our chance for a great Mahomes drive to win the game ended with a punt and relatively conservative play calling. (didn't want to disappoint your expectations :-)) [Reply]
Baker gets 3 chances to do something and goes 3-and-out, ends up punting into a turnover on downs, and he throws and INT.
Re: O-Line, they gave up more pressures (6) and sacks (2) then I'd like to see but Cleveland has a great D-Line and this was the first time they played together. They'll learn from it and get better.
Re: Defense, we all know we were missing key components and my prediction this is the worst they look all season. Bolton looks amazing BTW. When Gay joins him we're going to have speed and power at LB that we haven't had in some time. [Reply]

I hope someone plays him the tape of Romo pointing it out, and specifically on third down so the defense knows to adjust and can make a better run at him. [Reply]
