Not going to cut it.

On the other hand, Romo was 8 yards short of 400, and tossed 3 TDs and had no turnovers.

If Barber doesn't fumble that one ball before the half, I think it's a much different game.

The o-line got flat out whipped all day, they couldn't hold their blocks long enough to open a hole. But there is a reason, it was cold out there.

That fumble was such a game-changer. It was just huge.

I'm just so tired of it always being something with this team. Why can't they all just show up and play a complete game? Why is it so damn hard?

Jason Witten had 14 for 154 today...not sure why we were going to Barber on many of those plays when he had been largely invisible.

I guess the people that say we need to run the ball to win will think they were proven right, but honestly I think if we ran the ball less we would've had more success tonight.

8-4 isn't horrible, but 9-3 would've been a lot better. Hopefully we can get our running game together enough for next week NOT because I believe you have to run to set up the pass, but because it really helps to have that added dimension.

I will admit it too, I'm down on Marion Barber now. Not sure I want to see him around next season.

I don't think the run was there today at all,part of that is on the line for getting whipped and part of it is the Giants selling out to stop it.When the TOP is almost three to one in favor of Dallas in the first half it's hard to put alot of blame on the offense.

When you let Jacobs run for a 74 yarder, that says more about your defensive effort then anything else IMO. There is no way that guy should have been able to do that. JMO

I always say the same damn thing. Every game someone doesn't show up be it offense, defense, or special teams. Never has this team played a complete game this season where all 3 phases showed up to put on a dominating old fashion butt whoopin on the competition. I can only hope that this team catches fire under it's *** whether that is done by sitting a few folks who are not playing well or at least holding them accountable for their lack of effort. Tackling against the Giants was horrible just horrible. Nick Folk would be cut Monday by Jimmy Johnson let's see what Wade and Jones does.
Hat's off to the Giants, they played hard with a purpose and deserved to be winners today.

The defense did suck on that play, but it shouldn't have been a TD regardless. Sensabaught was held big time down the field. The Giant blocker was actually pulling on the back of his jersey and he was the one that had a chance to knock Jacobs out of bounds. Still, we should have defensed it much better.

the OL was a disgrace...the defense was mediocre and our overall tackling was pathetic

Romo kept us in the game, but missing that easy one to RW was pretty significant...
