When watching the 4th quarter of last night's NFC East Cowboys-Giants game, it had a very similar feeling to Dallas' loss at Pittsburgh last week. Link here for recap (I like the line Romo had in his press conference about meeting secretly with TE Jason Witten to draw up the key 3rd-and-9 first down conversion that sealed the win). It seemed that Dallas would make a key blunder / mistake to give the game to the Giants. Dallas' offensive line looked pretty bad against NY's d-line, and Dallas was even getting lots of false start penalties at a HOME game. One of the penalties backed Dallas up and indirectly led to a safety that made the game closer than it should have been, as poorly as NY's offense was playing.
Of course, NY's O-line wasn't faring any better against the Dallas D, so maybe that just speaks to the quality of each team's D-line. But still, the Dallas false start penalties at a home game seems to show a bit of lack of discipline.
Right now it seems to me that Dallas has a somewhat decent shot to make the playoffs, but I can't see them winning more than one game in the playoffs (or beating a hot team like Carolina) unless that offensive line improves.
