Steelers Cowboys Game Dec 7th 2008

[Boyzmamacita]

That was the defense's best game of the season and Tony Romo's worst. The D was otherworldly good out there. Romo was outright putrid. Despite Romo's suckiness, we still had a chance to win that game. Add that creepy special teams play where the ball touched a Cowboy and you realize just how close we were to winning that game. The Cowboys seemed to give up after that. They did rally to beat the Giants, but Romo was beat up even further in that game. The season ended on that cold evening in Pittsburgh. We just didn't know it at the time.

Too painful to watch again...

So because of that we should expect a loss? I don't think so.

The Dallas offense should of been as good as the Stealers (BTW, I like that), Ravens, & Eagles Defense. We should of average 27-32pts against any of those teams. Due to a couple of blockheads named Garrett and Romo.

Romo didn't have a BAD DAY against the Stealers, he looked like garbage. Tony over threw Austin for a potential TD, missed Bennett in the middle (he was wide open), and missed Roy Williams in the inzone because he threw the ball with the wrong hand. Not to mention Romo's balls were all over the place through out the game (giggle).

20 bucks says this guy boo'd aikman at the end of his career.

and please get your facts straight if your going to open up a bottle of whine.

I did not see TO giving up on his route.. Romo under threw that ball and Troy P moved infront to catch it

as for Witten running the wrong route. IDK Romo threw it.. the blame goes on him... he has to be able to read the soute runner not just depend on him to run the route it's call making adjustments.

but if any one of those turnovers don't happen, Dallas wins....at least two of them were absolutely not on Tony...Dallas lost as a team.

No I do not agree. all 3 are Romos fault he is was to predictable...

Even the defense cost them - remember that long third down pass on Newman?

I agree he got burned on that play... only bad defensive play i can think of the whole game.

If they don't complete that pass Pitt might not even score an offensive TD in the game....

but they did

too many woulda coulda shoula for me..

3 ints, 1 fumble = 10 points for the stelers and that is why they won the game

Thanks Tony.

TO definitely freelanced the route and caused that particular pick.
I thought the Witten play was pretty clearly a bad throw by Romo. Witten not slipping might have gotten in the way of the pick, at best.

That Stealer game was a great game, though. Tucking tails and whining about it is pointless.

How do you guys watch that stuff?

I've moved on.

It's over.

I still have two games saved on my computer: the Sunday nighter against the Giants, and the Steelers. I keep hoping the ending changes.

Pitt didn't score on the "Newman gives up bomb" drive. And Witten's "admission" was a classic case of "falling on your sword" for a teammate. Romo had been sailing the ball all day, and that critical play was no exception. Even the TD to TO was semi-miraculous.

My memory's shaky, but didnt that drive result in our offense starting the ball from their own 2-yard line and thus resulted on a punt that gave the Steelers great field position to get a quick FG??

 

[The Panch]

Romo had a bad day... against the #1 passing defense in the league. Go figure.

Three of our last 4 games were against the top 3 passing defenses (Stealers, Ravens, & Eagles). Any wonder why Romo wasn't stellar against them? Nobody was!

Your excuse is a joke. Romo was flat out garbage against the Steelers and the most of the game against the Ravens. His accuracy was pathetic.

A super-conservative offense and terrible special teams led to that Steeler FG. The defense played heroically for much of that game.

This entire game only changed once Holland went down. If he stays in, we win.

He went down in the 2nd quarter, and Choice had his best runs with Procter starting at LG.

I think he went down and came back in.

No, Procter played the rest of the game, and Holland never played another snap the rest of the year. :-(

 

[CATCH17]

Romo's Touchdown Pass to Owens was a thing of beuty too though.

And that left hand pass he attemted to Roy Williams was cool too.

He blew the game at the end though.

Tashard Choice also lit up Pittsburgh on total yards.

The biggest back breaker was in the 3rd quarter on 3rd and 16 when Newman got beat deep by Holmes for a 27 yard gain.

That was the one bad play by the defense. The D was stellar in that game. The goal line stand was incredible. That should've motivated the offense to seal the deal, but Romo was off. If he was on, we would've won handily.

How could a drive that leads to no points be a "backbreaker"? Stumped.

You just lost 20 bucks. You moron!

 

[birdwells1]

Or we could have went into that game with the Brad Johnson, Carter, Hutchinson, Leaf, and Wright's of the world and have about four wins and get blown out by Pittsburgh.

Why do people also go to these people to justify Romo. Look I like Romo but if you're going to compare him to someone compare him to Staubach and Aikman because that's where we're trying to go.

 

[JakeCamp12]

If Felix doesn't get hurt, I truly believe we win 10 or 11 games. He is such an explosive player, that at the end of a game like Pittsburgh, he is the one making a huge play to break the other teams back.
