why in the heck did we cut price? it's obvious crayton was going to be rusty. we had a special teamer trying to play receiver, copper, when we went to the 3 receivers set late in the game. what a stupid decision on the part of Parcells. this will come back to haunt us, if it already hasn't, down the stretch. :bang2:

Even if Price was on the roster, what makes you think we would have/could have used him? What in his past with the Cowboys makes you think he would have had value at any point in that game, let alone down the stretch.

That is not to say that he COULDN'T have impacted the game, but Bledsoe isn't going to spread the ball to receivers he can't get it to because he's got 2 seconds to get rid of it.

If you ask me, Price wouldn't have made any impact on this game, but I still would've liked to have had him around.

he's still better to stash around than somebody like peterman or pepper johnson who everybody knows will never smell the field.

I certainly would have liked to have had him in the bag of tricks. Not sure why he needed to be cut the day before the biggest game of the year, but I guess I don't know the whole story.

I think you're right - we don't know the whole story yet. There has to be a reason for the timing, cause otherwise it's a stupid, stupid move on our part.

God forbid Glenn or Key gets hurt during the next 4 games.

not true. there are several players like sean ryan, caver, coleman, and thompson who hardly play anyway. any one of those can sit and allow a bigger impact player see the field.

unless he coulda played on the line I don't think he would have helped much.

yea they could of have used price if he was with the team. they also could have used the O line from 93. stop living in the past and move on. They are gone.

well they're gone but price was only let go on saturday so that decision impacted yesterday's game. i'm not living in the past. is called monday morning quaterbacking. i know the line played lousy in spots but the times bledsoe had time our receivers couldn't get open.

Simply put.....because he is an underachiever!

I said it before but I will say it again.

We could have had Jerry Rice in his prime and Randy Moss healthy on the other side....but as long as the O-Line was playing the way it was it would not have made a difference.

Bledsoe missed some wide open passes, but so did Manning. Both had an unimpressive 38% completion percentage. I think Drew had his bell rung or something because some passes were just real bad.
