Did anyone else notice the ball kicked in the Philly game?

A conspiracy????? Tony didn't have any trouble catching the snapped ball flying at him from 5 yard's away but it's a greased ball because he messed up putting the ball on the ground? Jesus some of you guy's might need to step back and ponder maybe, just maybe all he did was mess up.

I know this hurts alot to do this but watch the replay of it.

When Romo fumble the ball, and Gramatica approaches him, Romo takes off to the left, and Gramatica tries to get a block on a Seattle player. This same player is the one who eventually takes down Romo from behind. Gramatica gets a small push on him, but it was SOOO close to being able to get alittle more body into him. Romo would have got the 1st down or scored.:bang2:

By the way....Romo was SOOOO close to getting that 1st down. The booth should have reviewed that spot as well!!

The look of the ball used for the last second Philly FG as compared to the one used in the Dallas FG attempt last night? The ball Philly used was totally dull and looked worn while the one Dallas used had a very glossy (slick) look. Would be great if someone had a still shot of the close ups of both FG attempts.

Not saying there was any underhandedness in the Dallas game, just wondering if anyone else noticed the difference in the appearance of the two game balls.


I saw him run over the grassy knoll. The truth is out there.:cool:

The truth of the matter is that if Romo had just extended the arm that was carrying the ball as he was falling, he probably would've gotten the first, or at least made it something worth measuring.

He didn't, he duddn't, it wuddn't meant to be.

It was mentioned that it was a different ball(kickers balls?)... that it was NOT rubbed down like the regular game ball...

If Gramatica could have put ANY Kind of a block/hold on Babineaux, it may have been juuust enough to get Romo that extra step. But you can't rely on kickers for much other than kicking...and even then.

Credit to Romo for keeping his head in the game and picking up the ball and going for the endzone. Had he tried to step back and throw the ball, Babineaux would have just hit him sooner.

I think the pressure of the moment just hit Romo. He lost focus for that split second. I mean something like 29FG attempts and 56PATs.. 85 holds by Romo, 1 bobble. 'course, biggest bobble of the season but still, he's young, first playoff game, biggest moment of his career no doubt. He got nervous. I can't blame the guy...
