It's a long one and I'm sure I'll miss a few, so please feel free to add on.

-offisides on Ware when Dallas stopped the gints on the first drive.
-2-3 missed tackles on what should have been a 12 yard completion that turned into a Toomer 52 yard TD (Ellis and Henry....***?)
-The entire 70+ yard TD drive that took less than 40 seconds, including a 15 yard penalty on Reeves. I could see a FG here, but a TD? Seriously?
-Droped lst down (maybe a TD) by Fasano.
-misfire by Romo to TO...these two plays cost us 4 pts..
-L. Davis brain freeze, hitting Strahan late (I believe Dallas wins w/out this penalty-Romo hit Witten for a lst down on this play).
-same series, the Crayton drop.....gotta be kiddin me Patrick....40 yards at least....Didn't Crayton have another drop also???
-Three bad Romo plays, two out of the pocket when he took sacks and one in the pocket when he threw for intentional grounding.
-Key false starts by both Flo and Columbo at crucial times.
-lining up with 6 on the LOS that killed a 4th quarter drive (Romo threw for a lst on this play).
-Crayton stopping on his route...he keeps running its Dallas wins....
-Romo ignoring single coverage on the last play.....but I guess I can't blame him, it was on Crayton........
 
i agree its pretty tough when your trying to overcome all of that...just so frustrating man...
 
I would add the draw play we ran for Marion Barber during the last drive where we actually lost yards.

Given the fact that we only had 1 timeout, I thought that was a horrible call.

Good one........left me scratching my head also....
 
After the Crayton drop, Mcbriar's punt was returned for about 30 yards because of a missed tackle by Watkins? I think. G-men had short field and punched in what was ultimately the game winner.

Yup, and there were several other missed tackles by the ST's unit today that cost us field position...
 
and through all that, we STILL had a good chance to win the game

i still don't believe the giants were the better team. we gave this game away.

In order,

1. Ware was NOT offsides. I tivo'd the game and he moved WITH the snap!
2. Don't forget Roy tripping over someone on his way to a spot 2 yards behind Toomer!
3. Thanks Reeves for 99% of that yardage. He got burned time and again.
4. Fasano usually has sure hands, too. So sad.
5. The throw over the middle? Romo has Usi in his grill on that one.
6. forget it...I'm too tired of it already.

O-LINE, CRAYTON, CRAYTON AGAIN, POOR TACKLING, LOUSY SECONDARY.
 
I didn't like the strahan call to be honest, he was getting up and Bigg ended any chance he had to make a play, Bigg wasn't looking at romo to see when he threw it he was playing to protect the throw. Bad call in my opinion.
 
Add having to call a timeout on 3rd and 20 in the 4th quarter because the timeclock was about to run out. That gives us 1 timeout left instead of 2.

The Fasano drop would've been an easy TD. It was also just before the missed pass to Owens over the middle.

Crayton dropped two passes. The wide open one could've been scored upon (it's iffy though with Crayton's speed) and the other drop would've gotten Dallas first down, continuing the drive.

What's frustating is that this is at least the 4th time it's happened...the 3rd time this year, the league has apologized to Ware about the previous ones saying that he wasn't offsides, and they STILL get it wrong.

It's a complete "assumption call" if there ever was one.

Crayton's stopping on the third down throw at the end. WHAT WAS HE THINKING? That was a perfect pass and even after all the other mistakes, we pull out a win.

It's actually kind of amazing given how poorly we played there was even a chance to win this thing.
 
Crayton owes every single fan, eversingle teammate, and every single coach a personal apology. Until I get that I hope he never plays another game in a Cowboy's uniform, if that means he screws up his knee next pre-season, then so be it.
 
We called a time out because we couldnt get our punt coverage straight.

Forgot about that timeout.........I almost put a hole in my wall......
 
Yikes. We played about as "mistake-full" football as you can get. And almost beat them anyway. That's what sucks. I know it's cliche and sounds homerish, but we were clearly the better team and only beat ourselves.
