ESPN Power Rankings: 'Boys #8

[Crown Royal]

This list will look silly at the end of the season. I have a lot of faith that Mike Shanahan can do wonders, but that team is hurting. I also think San Fran sky rockets

well it was one of the badder choke jobs in sports. but i hear ya

And I think its that mentality that allowed this event to become as overblown as it has been.

A choke job, to me, is when someone allows the pressure of the situation to negatively impact their performance.

Does anyone really believe that Romo conciously or subconciously was feeling the pressure while awaiting that snap? I sure don't.

It happened because... sometimes it happens, IMO.

And to continue to harp on either that he choked, or will he be able to recover mantally... *sigh*

On top of that its the Dallas Cowboys so its that much bigger.

have you ever played sports? look man i'm as much of a cowboy fan as you are but i have accepted the fact that romo choked. if it wasn't for sherry glenn, tony probally wouldn't have even been in that situation but that's beside the point. the point is the qb gets the blame and in this situation it couldn't be anyone else. maybe the ball was greased up. but the world saw tony drop the ball. therefor he choked. move on

7 (8)Eagles10-6-0It's easy to say that as Donovan McNabb goes, so go the Eagles. But their fortunes might rest more on whether Brian Westbrook can continue to run like one of the NFL's elite backs.

Yep. The Eagles without Westbrook don't scare me near as much as the Eagles without McNabb.

He was not playing QB ...... he was the kickholder.

It was not a choke ...... he was feeling no pressure ...... he just dropped the ball.

If anything he lost concentration.

he lost concentration in the biggest moment of his career at the time. I repeat "he choked, get over it"

Nothing to "get over" ...... because he did not choke.

That WAS NOT A CHOKE! That was a rare incident that just happened! A choke is what McNabb did in the SuperBowl...that is the defination of a choke. McNabb could not handle the pressure of the big game and he choked....Romo simply fumbled a football, which by the way is not round and hard to catch to begin with!

Move on...!!

I will be very dissappointed at 9-7. And frankly I cant see 7 losses. It would take a total breakdown, like last year for that to happen. Last year we started poorly, had a run, then slid and STILL ended up 9-7. Cant see it this year.

Please Lord let the Browns finish last...ray: I believe Dallas is ranked about right...
