I find it interesting that the #2 and #5 rated passers in the NFC posted ratings of 50% and 58%. Not making excuses for Bledsoe, but neither him or Hasselback had very good games, with 1 td and 2 int's each. I find it hard to believe weather wasnt a big factor.

The weather was a major factor, if the ball hadn't been wet would the snap on the FG been bad, would DB's passes be behind the receiver's, would the Hawks returner have mishandeled the punt in his own 10? The weather was a major factor and I hope we get to face the Hawks again in the Playoffs.

You can blame the weather on a lot of things, but Jimmy Williams muffing that punt had nothing to do with the weather. It just hit his chest and bounced off.

I'm not sure that the wet ball was Ladouceur's problem. Almost all of his snaps were off to the right. If the ball was slipping out, you'd think it would be more inconsistent -- left, right, high, low, etc. But it always seemed to go to the right.

You are right all I was saying was it could have been a reason on that one kick not the reason.

I thought the kick was paratially blocked but they only showed replays from the side behind Romo but when it was kicked I thought it had been hit at the line by a Hawks player.

I'll tell you what I found funny. That snap from Center on the missed FG looked like it was going to bounce off Romo's nugget. I really thought he did a pretty good job of snatching that ball and getting it down. Cortez kicked it and the minute he pushed it, instead of looking at the center, he immediatly looked at Romo as if to say, "What the @%*$?" He actually had a lagit beef with the snap, IMO, but he wasn't about to look at the Center for fear of Larry snatching him up and shaking him like a Maraca.

LOL!!!!!!

He made a bad decision to try and field the ball after it bounced on the ground. Reeves was in good position to either tackle him if he did catch it off the bounce or if he bobbled it. Good play by Reeves.
