I didn't get to watch the game, but I was reading the recap on the Giants site, and I noticed something. It said they had an incomplete pass on 4th down at the beginning of the 4th quarter? When they had a 21-0 lead?! First, were they in field goal range when this happened, two....... ***!?? Why do teams have to show so much unsportsmanship that they are not only throwing passes with a 21 point lead but also going for it on 4th down, in the 4th quarter! They had the ball for over 12 minutes in the third, they were dominating the game, there is no freaking reason to be going for it in that situation I don't care what the Coach was thinking. I've always said Karma has a way of catching up with you in football, and good thing it's starting to smack the Giants in the face. The Cowboys are in field goal range and what do they do? run the ball 4 straight times to knock time off the clock, and not put any more points on the board, in a show of respect for the other team. Why is it every other team in this division when they have a big lead begins trying to emberess the other team?

let me add another twist to that....the next time we are OBVIOUSLY in control of a game....AND Bledose refuses to go in....he should be regulated to inactive status. And maybe we need to groom Crayton to at least be able to hand off if necessary....Romo is our future and I don't want some selfish over the hill QB jepordizing that....Bledsoe has had his chance...he threw interceptions at the goaline this year that has costs us games...not granted, if he had not done that against the Giants, Romo might not be our QB right now, but he has had his chance and now he needs to be a member of the team AND STAY ready!

Bledsoe definitely lost a lot of respect from me after refusing to go in the other day.

He's gone after this year because he's being a child and won't be a backup.

Can we afford to make him inactive? Baker/Crayton/Green aren't NFL QBs.

Bledsoe isn't much of one either, though.

Make him the emergency Qb so he doesn't count as active. If Romo has to come out for a series, have Green or Crayton preped to run a series. A more serious injury, Bledsoe can come in. A serious injury to Romo ends our season anyway.
