I'll tell ya what. Show some balls here (unless of course you don't have any). Care to bet on your prediction? If the Cowboys surpass your bold predictions then you never EVER post here again. If they sit at 6-10 at the end of the year I'll do the same. So what's it gonna be? Got any balls or just a big mouth?

I learn a long time ago you never beat on Dallas.

why only romo gets bashed? Who was supposed to pick up the blitzers? Which triplet dropped a td and two other passes? Which triplet fumbled yet again in the red zone? Who didn't call 3 runs on 2nd and 2?

why isn't this a team loss?

It absolutely was a team loss, and anyone pretending otherwise doesn't know what they're seeing.

The best line in the game got schooled by the blitz. Our tremendous play caller lost sight of the run game. Our league-leading back fumbled. Our "Michael Irvin" dropped a TD pass. Witten had, arguably (didn't see a clear replay of the last one), a pair of drops. And Romo was either making poor audibles at the line, didn't know what he was seeing out there or something.

And that doesn't even address the defense.

We did enough against a bad team to stay in it until the end, but were undone by our mistakes and by a team that made a flurry of mistakes of their own.

I have no problem with anyone wanting Weeden in that situation (IMO they made the right call), maybe he should have stayed in, who knows. I'm just saying that to think that Romo was pushing to come back because he didn't want Weeden to succeed is wrong, that's it.

It's a tough situation because if you bring Weedon back in and he throws an INT or doesn't get us the win then people are going to say 'they should have put Romo back in since he was well enough to play'. Then you have the reactions we are getting since Romo did come back in and wasn't effective. I just think going with your best player at that position is the best way to go. You win or lose with your best and I'll take my chances with Romo in that situation all the time.

Teams lose games like this every week. They adjust and move on . I highly suggest you do so as well. You sound like a broken record.

The lack of perspective is humorous. Every win is huge, and every loss is equally as huge. If you're going to be an elite team in the end, you've obviously got to lose a very small amount of games by season's end.

But the reality is every good team puts up stinkers occasionally, and it's been this way for a long, long time in the National Football League. The key is the good teams bounce back, while the bad/average ones trend toward a path of mediocrity.

Three or four weeks ago, Tom Brady was done, Pittsburgh would never win again and Indianapolis was unstoppable. Things look differently today -- and will continue to take several more momentum swings before it's all said and done.

Yes. That part of my initial argument can be chalked up to frustration.

Just really bothered by this loss. And I just felt like romo was going to have too much pressure on himself out there given all that had happened.

Does it really matter who was in at QB? When you have 3 downs to get 2 yards and pass 3 times, you deserve to lose. Your NFL leading rusher just ran for 8 yards and you want to pass 3 times?

That is just dumb coaching. Right up there with the last year's GB game.

Biggest mystery of the game to me. There was no time pressure and having 4 downs actually makes running more logical. That was the ballgame i don't get it

It felt like they panicked. It was as though they were playing like they had no time left and 3 downs to score a TD for the win.

They forgot that they only needed to get 2 yards for new set of downs and just keep the drive going.
 
was anyone at the game ? can anyone confirm the crowd was cheering while Romo was laying on the turf ?
 
I worry about Romo long term. Its one of the reasons that I wished we had started looking to the future. His back is always gonna be messed up and if he can't see the blitzes and gets nailed every game, then he's not gonna make it the rest of the year.

When that happens, season over. Weeden is not a good QB, teams preparing for him would make this offense Demarco Murray and nothing else.
