My thoughts...since everyone else is doing it!

1. Our weakness on defense is our FS...Coleman gave up the Cooley TD, as bad a play as Henry made on the ball, Coleman was supposed to be there, he's not an upgrade on Watkins.

2. Weakness on defense #2, nickel LBs...please get James and Akin out of nickel coverage, neither can cover well enough to not allow the middle of the field to be open.

3. Weakness #3 Greg Ellis in the base, 3 losses to division rivals and all 3 exploited Ellis on the edge...we flipped sides and Brunell changed the play to the pitch to that side. Philly exposed him in coverage, NY and Wash in the running game, it's time for Burnett or Carpenter in the base defense and the nickel as well, IMO.

4. Say what you want about the blocking on that FG, but breakdown or not, that ball was 4 feet off the ground when it got blocked, it never would have cleared the line. FA #1 on my hit list, Vandy...cut his arse, he hurts us in field position and chokes when we need a kick the worst.

5. TO, didn't want him, want him less now...he flat out lost this game with that drop.

6. Parcells can't game day coach, yesterday was the perfect example, that 2 point to make it a 3 point game means nothing at that point; we kick the extra point and the game is over on Novak's miss.

7. Henry has played like crap ever since Parcells said he's been our best defensive player...Tuna, maybe you should tell him he sucks or something.

8. Newman played poorly yesterday too, I keep seeing Roy being thrown under the bus, well The PI he got was because Newman blew his coverage on the trick play...how quick we all forget how it was Williams saving the game early, on that goal line stand, on 3 straight runs he got to the ball carrier behind the LOS.

9. Romo is NFL player of the week if TO could actually catch a ball, 350 and 3 TDs with your 2nd straight road win, would look pretty good.

10. It's time to really find out about next year...Get Watkins back in there, replace Rivera with Proctor, the big lazy with the big ugly...that's Flo for McQ...Ellis in base for a combo of Burnett and Carpenter, unload Vandy I mean it, flat out cut his arse, make TO use some of that money we pay him on a jar of stick um, and get Witten a tape of Romo's cadence.

Don't disagree with very much. Still hard for me to be too upset over this one loss. It's just one game and it indeed looks like we've finally found Aikman's replacement.

Romo is going to win a lot of games for us. He did yesterday, but TO and special teams let him down. You're right on with your eval of Romo... he probably is the player of the week if TO catches the TD.

I'm still giddy over Romo and the season has a lot of time left.
