B is the best answer. Hostile doesn't like Campo or kickers.

I thought Dez Bryant was great in this game, but he didn't have that ball secured on his fumble. Bryant can be as good as he wants to be. He's a good football player.

I hated to see Tyron Smith miss this game, but I wouldn't risk hurting him anymore. Tyron has played very good this year, and the Cowboys better hope he can come back. I think it could get real ugly without him. By the way, Smith is their best run blocker.

Parnell does look like at least a serviceable backup... And FWIW, Jerry said on his show this week that the coaches say Parnell has the strongest punch on the team. Amazing but I guess true.

And my props will go to Spencer. He's outplaying Ware lately. And also playing with great effort. One thing I always liked about him is that he plays pretty pissed off, or at least more than probably anyone but Ratliff.

I'll give you credit: You're consistent.

The fumble was on him but the drop on the TD late anyone getting hit with someone's helmet on their hands is gonna drop it. The dude flat out balled today period. His second TD catch was amazing b/c of how bad the throw was & I'm not dissing Romo either b/c the Oline is flat out awful.

I really don't know what else to say. A team like Denver can lose McGahee (7 carries), but they can plug in running back "X" and "Y" and still bust 133 rushing yards. They were playing San Diego, too. Teams all over the NFL can open rushing lanes, but this team can't do it. I think the team needs a fresh start with a new head coach, and they need 4 new offensive linemen. This team needs a fresh set of eyes, imo.

Jerry Jones should go after Sean Payton and allow Payton to bring in his own personnel guy. We'll see.

I hope the Cowboys win next week.
