So now it is the day after, we can stop blaming Weeden-few a few seconds.

Orton and Kitna weren't winning that game yesterday.
Sorry.
They weren't good, either. Hence why they were backups.

What?? Kitna came in and went 5-3 and got JG the job. Orton threw for almost 400 yards in a win or go home game, and almost took lowly Buffalo to the playoffs!

Well, then give him a call.

I think he's on a beach with Tim Tebow.

so what? weeden didn't play poorly yesterday. he's not why we lost. he wasn't great, and tony is certainly 10x better. but orton wasn't going to win that game yesterday. that is lunacy. orton wasn't going to do much more than weeden did.

Cutting Ben Gardner who was THE BIG PIECE of the defense was the cause of that display out there. He is the straw that stirs the drink. He is currently a free agent. It's getting closer to October. He should be able to get some facepaint on discount and get back out there for our Cowboys. We sure do need him.

it was such a big piece that he is still waiting to get on somebody's team.....such a critical player we missed (sarcasm fully intended).

A short armed guy who didnt dominate second and third stringers. Hes available for a reason.

Kitna went 4-5 (I give him the Giants Loss since he came in with the lead - and McGee got the last win against the Eagles' backups). They beat some pretty bad teams.

So first we have a thread saying that not playing Kellen Moore yesterday cost the Cowboys the game, and now we have another one saying that no Ben Gardner did it?

Good lord.

The love for Gardner is funny. People claimed he was great in the preseason despite the fact that he had very little success.

I really don't know where people get some of their ideas, but they definitely didn't get the idea that Gardner was great from studying the preseason game footage.

The love for Gardner was almost as comical as people blaming Devin Street for anything that happened in the Falcons game.

You're right, they probably wouldn't have, because our WR'S suck!
