I know and wasn't happy that Romo came back in. That is 100% Garrett's fault for letting him play. It was clear that he could not handle the pressure ALL night and was hobbled........that is on the HC.

I'm fine with it.

If Romo says he can go you play him.


We were in a hole every time Romo had the ball after he returned so I don't see Weeden making a difference unless he would've ran for it on that 4th and 3 instead of throwing into coverage like Romo didn.

Haslett did a great job getting in Romo's head early, he looked confused today there's not a lot of defenses that can do that. McCoy looked like his UT days

He does this every time we play them.

Linehan has got to clean that up.

Gotta give it to 'em. McCoy looked like Bernie Kosar out there tonight. Kis stepped up huge on the big stage, and it was his first start in 3 years... impressive.

But, we still gave it away. Turnovers (in the red zone), missed tackles, etc. Still should've won.

They played and coached the game well. I've always wondered why teams don't blitz us more. Just all out blitz. We have nothing to break it. I'm not going to overreact but I don't know if our receivers get enough initial separation to take advantage of this. Sure couldn't tonight.

I think Dallas gambled on being parsimonious with Murray tonight, especially on that final drive. Still halfway through the season, and in the playoffs...that's when you might need him to run over 30 times a game. Probably there is concern of his durability over the 16 game season given his past.

lol giving Weeden the credit on drives that had Demarco Murray written all over them and that was the problem in the end they went away from him...
Oh I apologize, Weeden did nothing but get sacked, throw bad passes, and not put them in the end zone. My bad.

Weeden = 10 points, Romo = 7

I know it was not solely on QB play but Tony was clearly not himself. Go with the hot hand and Brandon had it. I am not blaming the loss on either, that was coaching.....they were totally unprepared and did not make adjustments.

This just further proves my theory that Romo has more clout than Garrett. He should have not been in there IMO.

Weeden was excellent.

No shame for thinking he should be in here.

If it were my call I would've chose Romo as well but you could just as easily stuck with Weeden.

They won.. Good for them.

I was disappointed in the defense tonight and how we kept giving them 3rd and manageable but they won a hard fought game.

I still feel good about the season and this doesn't change anything in my mind if Romo is healthy.


Btw, I'd be upset in a way if I was Dan Snyder. If Washington played that hard on a weekly basis they wouldn't be such a pathetic bunch year in and year out. I hope they give that same effort against Philly but I doubt they will.

Hey, it will give the coaches a lot of film to review and work on, almost the whole game.:hammer::banghead::huh:

They scored 20 points including overtime. They didn't make the defense pay for anything.

If you think this game is on the defense your freaking high.

They didn't get off the field during that 8 minute drive in the 4th that backed Dallas up to the 5. Offense was in a rhythm and couldn't get on the field.

Missed tackles were awful! The DL got no pressure and the LBs and safeties couldn't tackle in space. Hopefully with Lawrence on Sunday it changes

Everytime we blitz...we pay for it it seems. Everytime we GET blitzed I never see us making a play out of it.

Never. I see what goes on during replay. There's no separation and its all just slants. Haslett has been blitzing us for...however long he's been with the Deadskins. This happened last year too. Its why our games are always so low scoring against them. For the life of me I don't get how he has success doing it but no one else.

OMG they gave up one drive!!!!

If you can't score more than 17 against a pathetic Washington team, you don't deserve to win.

This is the same as last year when ppl blamed the defense when the offense was totally anemic.
