Actually, they had no business even being in that game. We almost gave it to them. They gave us nothing.

Um they gave us the game by missing a 53 yard kick when they should have punted at the end of the first half. They gave us the game by throwing that pick on a down that they should have just run the ball. Then they gave it to us again when they couldn't recover an onsides kick.

They didn't give us any of that. They wouldn't have been in the game without Romo's boneheaded mistakes. We were the better team. We beat them. We scored more than them. They didn't give us a single thing.

On the field gold they tried to score and didn't. On the INT, they were trying to move the ball and we took it from them.

I like our chances. We can have the dark cloud of gloom over every upcoming game prediction.

Ok we gave them the game first then they gave it back how about...

They took a low % FG with a two score lead risking giving up field position. It would be a dif game if we didn't get the FG heading into half.

On the INT, they were in easy FG range and could have taken a bunch more time off the clock and made it a two score game with around 3 min left if they just handed it off. You can't say those weren't bad decisions.

They went for the FG because they thought they needed more points to win the game.

They threw the ball because they didn't want to settle for a FG. They thought they needed more points to win the game.

Considering we scored 9 points in 24 seconds, they were probably right. They really couldn't stop the offense all night, except when Romo threw bone-headed passes.

Well clearly you look at things completely differently than me. This is not gonna end up going anywhere...

There are right ways and wrong ways to look at things. We've got the "W". Yet you think we "shouldn't."

It should be perfectly clear which is the "right way" to look at this.

No, we shouldn't have won...its not a wrong way to look at it

I was there and I was as happy as anyone when it happened, but it doesn't mean that I think we should have one.

OK...

We should have been 3-3 if Plaxico didn't fall down on an INT(hence giving us 6).

We should have been 2-4 if it weren't for a key penalty that allowed Crayton to make a key long punt return to set up the go-ahead score in Miami.

We should have been 1-5 if Griese had played instead of Rex.

We should have been 0-6 if Steven Jackson had played in the Rams game.

We can go on and on...
