Live Blog Redskins Cowboys 4th quarter

Bennett 25 pass from Romo (Folk kick)
Cowboys 14, Redskins 10

Horton had good coverage on Bennett but the offensive player made a play on the ball and Horton didn’t. Barber got the drive going with a nice run and then a pass reception. When he moves, the Cowboys move. When the Skins bottle him up, they go nowhere.

If you don’t score, you can’t win. The defense is doing its job, now Campbell and the Skins have to put up some points. I think they need 10 more to pull it out.

6:46—We’re looking at a big gamble here, going for it on fourth and four at the Dallas 37. I don’t know about this unless Zorn has a really good play up his sleeve. I’m usually an advocate for being aggressive, but this doesn’t seem like the right time to me.

6:40—And Newman is right with Moss all the way and he breaks up the pass that would have been short of first-down yardage anyway. There’s still plenty of time, but the defense has to stop #24. Zorn showed confidence in them, let’s see if they live up to it.

4:08—Romo is feeding Barber the rock and he’s producing. Time is rapidly slipping away for the Redskins.

2:34—And it slips further away as Romo goes to an open Barber for 10 yards on third and seven. We’re in a position where the Skins need an ‘06-like miracle to pull this one out.

To add insult to injury, Barber gains three on fourth and two to seal it up. I said that Barber never has been a problem for the Skins, but clearly he was today. I don’t have his numbers, but he’s well over 100.

Final Score
Cowboys 14, Redskins 10

    I didn’t mind going for it from the 37. They were in that awkward spot where it’s too long to kick a FG, but to close to punt. I thought it was the right call. Too bad it was the wrong play.

    The defense got owned and embarrassed by Barber on that last drive. But overall, it was the offense that let us down. Again. Just like always.
