This team will look a lot different. Carr, Church, and Wilcox are all FA's. Leary and Twill are as well. Carolina went 15-1 and at least got to the SB. How did thay turn out this season??

My first move, outside of the Romo trade to Houston? Sign Leary and can Crawford!

And that is why this hurts so much. Chances like this don't come often. Highly doubt we are here next year. Everyone will have enough film on Prescott. He played really, really good today. You just don't know. Such a long season and a terrible way to end it. Just feels like the regular season didn't even happen.

I like the idea of using Romo to move up into the top 7 by sending him and our first to a bad team for their first.

That being said, we will play a tougher schedule ( on paper at the moment ) and we will lose a few players to FA. WIll we find a starter in FA?

I doubt we win 13 games next time but who knows. After winning in Pittsburgh and in OT against Philly, I thought this was our year.

The amount of teams that are willing to take on Romo and his salary plus give up a draft pick is maybe one, and the Broncos have already indicated that they are not interested.

Very depressed myself. Ultimate failure. I did like the way Dak fought back however tonight. We just came out flat like we did against Detroit, but this was a playoff game. Had the offense not settled for field goals we would have won.

Agree 100%. I said something similar in another thread. It reminds me of 2007, where they blew a #1 seed in the first game, but I thought the future was bright. We all know what happened in the years after that. You can't assume you will be back.

Part of the fun this season is we created a real belief that we could do it.


No matter how good we look next year the best we can do during the regular season is get back to where we were today and it could all be for nothing yet again.


This is a hard loss for me and I'm so upset we blew it.

I think we can get better on Offense,we can defintely draft better WRs than Twill and Brice butler,Defense is a major concern though and no easy fix unless you go all in FA.

Sucks bigtime Catch! :(

A 4th round rookie just went 13-3! How can that be topped??

Crushing defeat. We'll be a favorite to get back next year, but you gotta be good, stay healthy, and get some luck along the way.

Exactly, for the 2nd time in ten years we've blown the best record in the NFC, #1 Seed, and homefield. You can't do that.

Dak is not one of my worries. Losing players to free agency is a bigger deal, but we'all hopefully have an upgraded defense. Really looking for to see Jaylon Smith play.

Injuries are another unforeseen issue.

With this OL and Dak and Zeke, we will be in the mix for a while. We need playmakers on defense and for the coaches to get their heads out of there ***** and we should be fine. Future looks bright. ;)
