    Amazing what happens when you run a different play..

    13-3 is possible, not bad at all.

    I thunk Ben deserves the lion's share of the credit. Just like he deserved most of it for the loss to Cincy.

    A great second half.

    Keep it going

      He balled out in the second half. Not sure what happened but he snapped.

      Can we get that Ben back next year? WTF happened?

      I’m curious if he went rogue or if Canada took the keys from Fitner. That was a complete 180.

        Better execution is what happened

          yeah, but its not like we gave the OL super hero powers in the second half.

          Ben went downfield and had success, just wondering what changed? Who decided to open things up?

            all the credit goes to Tomlin, his clock management is second to none.

              Gutsy win by the entire team. But let's not pretend this team doesn't have issues. 4 plays inside the 5 yd line for second week in a row and they get nothing.
              But I think every team has issues right now. KC winning by less than a TD for 6th time in a row.

                Glad to see us hang in there.

                No idea what can be done with the run game. It just needs to be average, and we can go far. Right now, it barely exists. 20 yards rushing? Snell had 6 carries for zero yards. He is a problem, for sure. Is Jaylen Samuels so bad that he backs up Snell?

                  They had opportunities down the field in past games. The players didn't execute on the opportunities. Ben threw poor passes or missed the proper read, WR's dropped the ball, or the Oline didn't hold up in protection.

                    The playcalling was obviously different in the second half. Romo even commented on it several times.
                    Also, someone said Fichnter was moved aside and saw Canada was working with Roethlisberger in the second half.

                      I wouldn't know the depth of the play calling changes without reviewing the game film. I am not going to do that because I don't have the time and nor do I get paid.

                      What I do know is that the execution was better. Any offense is going to look bad if it's poorly executed by the players.

                        it was more than that. They called different plays.

                            Yeah, I don't think it was all execution. A mix of better execution and better play calling.

                              It was like they finally started to take what the defense was giving them. I’ve been thinking for WEEKS that the D crowding the line should make them ripe for deep plays. And once we hit one, the game changed completely.
