The 17 points the Cowboys gave up in the final 4:58 of tonight's loss to Oakland got under Wade Phillips' skin.
"I'm not happy with the result,'' the Cowboys head coach said. "We played more like the first pre-season game than the second in some areas.
"I think the only good thing out of it is that we didn't get anyone hurt.''
Actually, they did. Safety Mike Hamlin suffered a concussion.
Now, what about the play of the Cowboys offensive line?
"Well, I didn't like getting sacked five times in the first half, I can tell you that,'' Phillips said. "We've got things we need to work on. We didn't execute.''
Did the Raiders bring more pressure than the Cowboys expected?
"No, they played pretty basic,'' Phillips said. "They didn't rush us like Cincinnati. They blitzed quite a bit. I saw a four-man rush. I don't think I saw a five-man rush.
"Whether it was coverage or whatever, we held the ball for a long time. I don't know if the receivers weren't getting open. I'll have to look at the tape.''
