Doesn't ANYONE remember earlier in the game, Romo gifted the Eagles 7 pts with his butterfingers in the end zone?!?

Pt being is that they can't have it both ways. One washed out the other.

Actually, the Romo interception was more equal to the McNabb fumble than the Romo fumble which was a gift-wrapped 7 points.

With the McNabb fumble and the Romo interception, the other team still had to move down the field to score.

Also, don't forget about the offensive pass interference that was called as defensive pass interference against Dallas that resulted in about a net difference of 35 yards if it had been called correctly.

After McNabb's fumble, we got the ball on our own 33. After Romo's interception, they got the ball on our 28. So they still got the better end of those turnovers.

Your wrong. If you get grabbed and pulled to the ground, its clearly a penalty on you ;)


That one was so bad, I think the NFL will apologize to Henry

They probably wont mention the holding afterwards though

You know the head referees are probably thinking to themselves, "On the bright side, maybe everyone will forget about the call in Denver now." :)

Oh I know, I just mean at least they had to work for it .. as opposed to just falling on it in the end zone. :D

I actually think Ed Hochuli sent an email to the Monday night refs threatening to beat them up if they didn't follow suit with his poor call. Clearly they were afraid.

How about the td pass to Westbrook. Both the wide receivers had hand fulls of Dallas DB jerseys, right in front of the refs, and no holding call. That to me was incredible.

The bad handoff was the biggest play of the game because of when it happened. Thank you McNabb, nothing like faking out your own running back.:lmao:

I was wondering when someone would bring up the blatant holding on Mike Jenkins on Westbrook's TD run after the pass interference.

When we needed Romo to step up and make big plays he did. McNabb in crunch time made a big mistake. Having said that I thought McNabb and the eagles looked very good last night. This is going to be a tough race with NY and Philly

Plays late in the game matter more than plays earlier in the game. Eagles had all the momentum and the Dallas D was gassed. Mcnabb has a history of fatiguing late and it looks like it happened again.

On a side note, the Cowboys need to be investigated by the NFL for at least 3-4 facemasks on Brian Westbrook, almost like it was part of the gameplan. Dirty...

I am glad I am not the only one who thought that was holding...however as good as Westbrook is, I think he would of got in the end zone even if they were clean blocks.

Funny thing is, all I keep hearing is how great McNabb played. After the game, you would have thought the Eagles won. McNabb was getting his butt kissed just like the old days.

Fact is, he did cost them the game. Not only with his boneheaded handoff, but the fact that he ran backwards on the Ware sack, instead of throwing it away. That, ultimately, was a bigger play because it put them in a third and forever which lead to the four and out.

In short, he choked again.

Of course it was part of the game plan. Its called, 'Wade's Bend But Don't Break the Facemask' type of Defense. lol

he cost them the game with some terrible throws and decisions in the 4th qtr.

he looked like dogmeat late in the game.

He danced real well in the first half though. And boy isnt that a tired act.

romo took huge blows in the face with no flags last night also.

The officials were terrible and both teams were undisciplined, mostly I Imagine because of fatigue.

and gee, did you want the nfl to investigate juqua thomas parker? His hit on julius jones was flat out ridiculous. Then throw in the witten play. You really have no room to talk.
