Word of Muth: Cowboys' Growing Pains

I watched the Cowboys-Falcons game live this past Sunday and felt I came away from it with a pretty good understanding of how the game went. Dallas came out and dominated early on the performance of a dominating offensive line. Then the Falcons adjusted when they realized Brandon Weeden was terrified of throwing it downfield or outside the numbers. Atlanta got much more aggressive to stop the run, and because the Falcons offense was chewing up yards and clock, the Cowboys just didn't get to run enough plays in the second half. I wouldn't say I was wrong about any of that, but that doesn't even begin to tell the story of the game, at least as far as the Cowboys' offensive line goes.
