They are who we thought we were

Ummm...that's not what I saw. In the 2nd half of the game, when we tried to run the ball, we didn't have nearly the same success as we did in the 1st half. Plus Garrett got too cute with the run plays as well.

Actually, it was in the second half of the game when we started to run the ball better. We started taking advantage of the Steelers pressure from the outside with inside running from Choice.

I don't think we needed to be throwing with a swirling wind. Granted, we had the win to our backs in the their quarter. But we were down inside the 10 and we go back to the pass. We should have just tried to keep on pounding the ball.

If you think no TO on this team makes them better, then fine-Plaxico is a nutcase as well, but now you're seeing how the Giants are struggling on offense without him.

Where did I say no T.O. on this team makes it better?

I think T.O. makes this team better. Still, that doesn't mean we force the ball to him. Sometimes, the game plan has to be to run the ball. That may mean T.O. doesn't get the ball.

We really shouldn't have been trying to throw the ball in these weather conditions. The Steelers did so because they had to. But they're used to playing in this weather, and the Cowboys were not.

Yeah, this is what the Tony haters have moved onto. It's the same thing that happened to Peyton Manning for 7-8 years until he won a SB. It's always, "yeah he's really good but he can't win the big games."

Blah. It's just grasping at straws to criticize someone. If you can't tell what kind of QB someone is after all of these starts, you're an idiot.

Ultimately, it's going to come down to what Tony Romo does in the playoffs.

Sure, it's unfair. But that's how quarterbacks are judged.

Unfortunately, the questions are going to be coming fast and furious after this loss, with members of the media asking him constantly "Why don't you play well in December."

Either this will become annoying and he will press during games to try to win and shed the criticism or he'll become mentally tough.

We shall see.

Wade Phillips - A defensive coordinator not a head coach

Tony Romo - Not a big game QB until he proves differently, too many turnovers to win the biggest games, you have to protect the ball

Dallas Cowboys - A good team not a great team

Dallas Cowboys defense - Played great today, you cannot fault them

Roy Williams - I don't think you can blame Roy, there was only one pass that I saw today that I thought he should have come up with that he didn't

T.O. - Plain and simple a prime time player. How they continue to not get the ball in his hands more is a mystery to me.

Tashard Choice - That kid is a GREAT #3 running back

Pacman Jones - Did a good job in coverage, and in my humble opinion, our blocking in the return game is horrific.

This was a sad and disappointing outcome. Making the playoffs now just got a lot harder.

You forgot...

...Jason Garrwett - A truly OFFENSIVE coordinator.
