So, in the final analysis of last night.

The pressure was off because of Arrington's injury and Bledsoe marched them down the field at twice, once for a td and once for a mistake Bledsoe threw a terrible pass that would have put the Cowboys ahead if he had connected.

The saviour, Tony Romo came out for the second half and basically coughed up a fur-ball by tossing an INT on his first pass. And it didn't get much better from there with 2 more INTs and 2 sacks.

Had Bledsoe been left in to start the 2nd half. Who knows?

End result..Romo is the man now and the season is most likely over - game, set, match.

I'll hold off on that until Dallas gets finished with the 3 game road trip. If we can get through that going at least 2-1 then all may not be lost. We will see.

Do you realize how silly that reads?

Turn the page, time to move foward, maybe's Romo's the man, maybe not, but we're long overdue to find out.

I wanted to give Bledsoe every chance, but it was plain to see against good teams he would struggle all season and we wouldn't have a shot even if we made it to the playoffs.

Unless Romo gets settled very quickly then I think we have little chance at the playoffs and no realistic shot at a super bowl run.

Atleast we aren't going to endure a full season of teams teeing off on Bledsoe, it was getting painful to watch. He's a very good QB behind a good OL, behind our OL he is a sitting duck for any team with a servicable pass rush.

The NFL works in weird ways. Dallas could catch fire and go out and win their next 3 games and be 6-3 and the talk of the league. Then lose to Indy and go 6-4 and be thought of just as an "okay" team.

The offense moved the ball far better w/Romo than they did w/Bledsoe. Bledsoe was benched after that INT because he made an absolutely terrible decision. Under Romo, they spread the ball out far better and the Giants just couldn't stack the line and tee off on Bledsoe. Even with Arrington out, they would've kept doing the same thing, especially since backup Reggie Torbor started for them last season.

But I've maintained that as long as they go 5-4 in their first 9 games, they've got a shot. It ain't looking good right now, but it's still reasonably within reach.

and with bledsoe all you had was false home. sooner or later he was going to "bledsoe the game up" and we were going to lose anyway. parcells FINALLY admitted it.

after all - in all the times we KNEW bledsoe screwed up, parcells would NEVER say it. it was always someone elses fault. last night was the very first time i ever saw parcells say drew *** up.

Wow, we're a game out of first place and the wild card and the season is over. Bottom line is, this offense is better with Romo in than Bledsoe. A win next week and we're 4-3. I'm sure you'll be writing off the season at that point.

I do and about a million or more other Cowboy fans...we have seen it before...

yesterday we got to see a young kid make mistakes with the possibility that he can learn from them and we also got to see a 14 year vet make mistakes with no possibility to learn from them...

we got to see the young kid drive the offense up and down the field while we watched the vet either lay on the turf or misfire time and time again...

we got to see how uninspired the team was with the vet playing and we got to see a much more inspired football team play with the kid....

I don't care how you wish to slice it the kid was and is a better choice than the vet...

romo is going to take time - period. those wanting instant salvation are just wishing upon a "star" so to speak.

Please, last night would have been a loss even with Bledsoe in the game.

If your veteran (Bledsoe) is going to play like a rookie then might as well give the "rookie" (Romo) a chance to grown into a veteran.

blah blah blah. And that first pass was deflected by the NYG defender, who had 30 minutes of red hot playing time in him before Romo received his first snap. You walk cold into a game like that, and let's see how you or anyone else does.

As for "Who knows"? We do. Bledsoe would have cost us the game as certainly as the sky is blue.

Just remember, Romo is a rookie(on the field). He will give us a better chance than Bledsoe, but he absolutly will rip our hearts out over and over again this year with rookie mistakes. We will not be sniffing the play-offs, but we're moving in the right direction.

Was it me or did it seem like Dallas employed the shotgun formation more with Romo in the game?

It appears that we have greater options in either the underneath hand off or rolling Romo out of the shotgun formation for a pass. We could not do this with Bledsoe.

How quickly we forget Jax, Philly and countless other games with Bledsoe. So now you want to play the who knows what would have happened if Bledsoe stayed card. I'll tell you! Nothing! It just baffles me that people can't figure out who and what Bledsoe is.

Giants have the nfl "toughest sched" as blurbed previously

the Iggles can loose some silly games, which on paper look like locks

The cowboys dont have to jump off the cliff just yet......

Nov and Dec are always 60 + days long.....
