If you noticed the signs in FedEx field, it would explain his TD antics. One said, "TO, you are getting sleepy".

Aside from the drops, and the antics during the week, the unsportsmanlike after the TD placed the team in a bad spot. He would rather make a joke about sleeping in meetings than help the team win.

I am fed up with this guy! Either slap a HUGE fine on him or cut him. HE is holding this team back.

Sorry if this has been said already.

Yea T.O's penalty hurt us so much that it was actually one of the few drives where our D made an actual stop. T.O is far from the problem so stop blaming him or at least please blame our D especially our secondary before you blame T.O

You're joking, right? If we cut TO, we also have to cut Vandy and Henry and Roy and well, you get the picture.

I'm pretty sure he wasn't blowing up at Parcells. If you go back & watch it, it was after his TD & penalty. After BP said something to him, TO seemed to go into one of his rants to fire up the team (or pump himself up) about how he makes plays. I'm pretty sure he was not yelling at Parcells.

Not sure if he was just trying to pump up the team or was pissed at Parcells.

The only thing that made me think Owens was mad was it seemed like Romo tried to put out his arm across Owens' chest to get him to calm down.

Not sure either way...but I'm sure it will be played to death.

The celebration didn't cost us, they wound up with the ball on their own 35 which is a natural starting position for the Cowboys kicking game.

He did cost us by dropping the wide opened Touch down pass.

If it had been 7 degrees cooler it would have been won by 10.

The penalty didn;t cost us, but it was about as dumb and selfish thing I have ever seen in pro sports. Score the go ahead touchdown, then give the other team great field position!

I guess all you TOsexuals knew our D was going to make a stop, didn;t ya?

I think Romo needs TO. He looks for him alot. TO is a positive overall. He scares the crap out of defenses and has made Witten a player again. You want to get rid of him wait 'til next year.

HOw about some blame on our defense, or are you satisfied with a crappy defense after all the draft picks and free agents.

I have always been a TO hater. But.
Glenn, Witten and Crayton(and probably the running game to some degree) are nowhere near as effective if TO isn't on the field. Glenn is good but he just doesn't scare defenses like TO.
And I don't see any other players with the ability to fire up their teammates like TO tries to do.
But TO's penchant for dropping passes are why I could never understand why some people ranked him ahead of Michael Irvin in terms of all time greats.
TO has dropped more clutch passes just this season than Irvin did in his whole career.

we spend $25 mil on a WR who drops critical passes and a K who can't get enough lift on a FG? I'm still tryin' to figure this one out. That's two critical passes that T.O. has dropped in big games that could've made a difference. Vanderjunk hasn't been right all year long. Sure would love to hear how BP or Jerrah explains this one away.

I never believed Vander was the person we wanted and when the Kickers started to sign elsewhere we settled for him.

However This was NOT his fault this time.

Jones will sign anyone.

Like I said earlier, if OJ Simpson ran a 4.2 40 he would be signed.

If Rae Carruth was out on parole he'd be signed too.

Sorry for stating the obvious but, football is a game of momentum. One week ago Keyshawn dropped a sure 6 that could possibly have iced the game against the 'Boys. Instead momentum swings and we win going away.

This week T.O. drops a sure 6 that could very well have iced the game for the 'Boys. Instead, we never truly threaten to score again until Vandy's blocked attempt. In my opinion, T.O. is not a scapegoat, I think his drop did lose this game. A 1st quarter error is much easier to overcome (which we had up to the point of the drop) than a second half gaffe.

He's a big fruit cake. He adds nothing to the team.

TO has made had some huge drops in critical situations no doubt but he has the offense has been much more productive this year with him on the field. Vanderjagt has to very solid all year to blame him for a blocked FG when a defender gets a free run through the line of scrimmage is idiotic.

This was a team loss, the penalties finally caught up with them, once again the defense gives up 2 big plays, dropped passes, dropped interceptions and a bad decision to go for 2 points in the first quarter. There is no doubt this was a total team effort to lose this one.

TO's drop was huge. So was Roy's

but no kicker in the league would've made that field goal. Half of the Commanders team broke through the line to block the kick!

Many players are fruit cakes.
