This could be a different game if the mouth wouldn't have dropped that ball....I'm not saying that we woulda won, but for crying out loud, when you yell and scream on the sidelines, you'd better NEVER make a mistake like that.

The guy has led the league in recent years in in dropped passes....yet he talks like he can make a play every time he touches the ball.

If I was Romo, I woulda said something to him about smiling after that drop....that was a BIG drop, IMO.

About Bledsoe and that STUPID pass that was INT'd at the end-zone....how many times have we seen that? That is NOT a pass that should be in our book? Throw the fade but not a hard pass like that....you are just screaming for an INT return for a TD on that...we've seen it happen....other teams have it happen all the time as well.

I agree, that was REDICULOUS. No excuses for dropping that pass. No excuses for not helping his inexperienced QB out.

Yeah he blew it big time, but Romo would have thrown an INT for a TD from the five anyway, it was his M.O. tonight.

if bledsoe doesnt throw the int were up 14-12 most likely at half. If Roy isnt tripped we might be 0-0 b/c roy might have knocked it loose.

to many ifs to say anything. we played like **** period. nothing else to it

TO is a game breaker. That dropped pass was a game breaker.

Well, if yo uare going to jump on him for the drops how about giving him his due on the amazing catches he had. That one from Romo that was drilled to him was a great catch. I hate he missed that 4th down pass that was throw a little behind him, but I thought he was one of the few that brought energy tonight.

In the immortal words of Jimmy, "If you're gonna talk the talk you gotta walk the walk". Owens needs to shut his pie-hole and play football. Spend more time practicing actually catching the ball than your sorry TD dance nimrod!

i feel your pain JimZ. owens had clear sailing for AT LEAST another 10 yards. for all the hype and self-agrandizing owens is legendary for.... well put it this way - i NEVER remember irvin dropping a ball in a crucial situation like that.

then to have the giants drive the ensuing possession... dallas had chances and sh9ot themselves in the foot more often than not. that vaunted dallas "D" was waaaaaay overrated.

I didn't know the millions of dollars the Cowboys are paying TO was only to make the "spectacular" play. I thought it was for makeing the routine plays as well.

What is T.O. paid to do? He's paid to CATCH THE BALL! NOBODY was even COVERING when when he dropped it. He needs to sit in front of a machine and catch balls till he can't drop one.

No excuses for TO. Romo gave him some very catchable balls today, and TO just flat out dropped it. No one is playing play off caliber right now, including our savior TO.

I am sorry, but I didn't realize I said anything about spectacular plays. He should have made that play absolutely, but IN MY OPINION, he was one of the few guys that actually brought energy on O tonight. Do you think it was a coincidence that we started moving the ball in the first half when we started throwing him the ball down the field. Again, never said anything about spectacular.

I agree. Like that commercial that says, "Pros practice until they CAN'T get it wrong".

NO, NO, NO, NO, NO! The ball hit him in the hands and HE DROPPED IT. It was 4th down - catch it and we keep playing. Yes, he caught several nice balls tonight but if he wants to rant and scream anytime it doesn't go his way he needs to catch that ball. Romo could have shown a lot of leadership if he'd run over and grabbed TO by the facemask and lit into him for smiling about it. Everybody drops a ball here or there - don't yuk it up when it's you but rip into everyone else for their mistakes.

That was BS. This game was still in reach, and he blew a critical pass.
