Was it? A lot of people have been saying this but don't think it was Free at all or that he was even that bad. He supposedly gave up one sack to Allen. I say supposedly because if you watch it again, Free was blocking DT Kennedy and Witten was assigned to Allen (which happened twice in a row, is rarely going to work, and has Garrett written all over it).
See for yourself, play is at 3:06.
Some believe that it was a missed assignment by Free and he was on Kosier's man, which is possible, but given how Witten lined up and some of the blocking schemes we've seen I don't think so. And then there's always
this.
Watching the game the second time I think he did okay. He took care of Allen--an All Pro last three years--when he on him and kept Romo clean, even as the line was terrible overall with 6 sacks. That's coming off of the bench, having worked on the right for most of the season.
