1)  Why is it we can't make "the play" when it counts.  Kwon Alexander has a possible pick 6 floating into his hands and he drops it.  Though this is offense, Mike Evans looks like he's gone for an 86 yard touchdown and he falls down.  Winston fumbles going into the endzone for a game winning score.  I truly don't understand what it is but it seems like we are cursed even after Doug Williams let us off the hook.2)  Absolutely loved the blitzing.  Going up the A gap as often as we did also made it much more effective when we faked it.  We also played a lot more man-to-man but the pressure allowed the plan to work.  While you don't want to be too predictable, I truly hope we keep up some more of the aggressive play.  Not only that, but some the blitzes were designed to stop the run, giving us outside contain so that the line could stuff up the middle, which they did on the whole.  Even if you aren't a Smith fan, you have to be happy with the adjustments.  I do have to say I would have loved to have been privy to the conversations about this that went on between Frazier and him.  I wonder if Frazier went in on him.3)  Can someone explain to me what is and is not a crack back block.  With 1400 left in the second quarter (Dallas' 2nd scoring drive), Whitten comes in from the outside and just levels our defensive end and opens things up for a 7 to 10 yard gain.  If you are more than two yards outside the box you are not allowed to do that, and it can lead to serious injuries.  Lynch called it a crack back, but I was yelling about it while watching it live.  I'm willing to admit  a misunderstanding of the rules, but that seemed totally illegal.  Dallas should have been pushed back fifteen yards, and they should never have had the chance for three points.4)  Good job over all vs. the pass.  Seemed like the only passes Cassell could get any yards on...surprise...were by the tight end crossing over the middle or the receivers running down, and then going into the middle seam.  Our other defensive plays stopped a lot, but we still can't stop that play.5) Great job by McDougal (?) on the game clinching interception in the endzone, but can someone tell me where in the hell our safeties were on that play.  Their one responsibility...their only responsibility...is to stop the deep ball, and yet Cassell finds his receive one on one down the sideline with inside position.  As the ball is thrown, I'm terrified we are about to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.  And this happened late against Jacksonville as well.  Someone needs to be sat, fined, or even let go, because putting a man on an island by himself when the opponent needs 50 yards in 28 seconds is inexcusable
