Unfortunately, I think of Le'Ron McClain and Willis McGahee taking it 82 and 77 yards respectively on back to back drives.

I think of Romo losing to a rookie Joe Flacko in a critical game to our season back in 08 and tossing one up for grabs to Ed Reed. That was the last game ever played at Texas stadium. The closing of the stadium after the game looked like a funeral with the fans that stayed disappointed from the loss. They should have had the closing ceremony at halftime in the event the team lost. The loss put a damper on everything.

It's funny how some people will always remember the negative Romo plays, but totally forget the positive ones. He drove Cowboys down the field for td's twice inside the last 4 minutes of the game, only to have the defense give up ridiculously long td runs ON THE FIRST PLAY on each of the next 2 ravens possessions. But sure, that loss was totally Romo's fault. SMH

I think of Romo throwing balls up for grabs and the Ravens defense laughing at us.

I think of our defense parting like the red sea twice.

I think this team is different and their #1 defense is going to get punched in the mouth by our online and zeke.

Unfortunately Romo throwing two mindless bombs into double coverage with Ed Reed lurking for int's in 2008. Also getting shutout in 2000

I not blaming Romo for that loss so don't go there. Most of his negative plays have come late and we couldn't overcome them which is why his negative plays are remembered. He got us off to a bad start in that game and knew he couldn't throw balls up for grabs with arguably the greatest ball hawker in Ed Reed back there. However he played better later in the game and our defense folded. Ray Lewis said before the game Romo is a good QB but he can be rattled. Romo had an awful Dec that year with 9 turnovers. Not trying to put all the blame on him but his turnover issues contributed to us missing the playoffs that season. A QB can't turn the ball over that many times in critical games and not have it cost you.

The question was "what do you think of".... this is what happens when you lose a critical game. Total team loss letting fullbacks gash us for consecutive 80 yard runs but the two crazy pics stand out more than getting hot at the end of the game. 2008 was just an awful year including the T.O. implosion. At Philly, At Pitt and vs Bmore were just horrible horrible memories. I can take losing but flame out.. implosion type losses are hard to swallow.

what made it worse was it was the last game to be played at Texas Stadium.

When I hear Cowboys/ravens I think of 2000 when I went to the game in Baltimore. It was freezing cold, but we had an awesome time tailgating before the game, even had a little grill going. There were tons of Cowboys fans. Just before we went in for the game I bought a couple of $8 beers just outside the entrance to the stadium, thinking I could bring them inside with me. I could not. I had to get rid of them, but since they were $8 beers, the only option was to chug them, lol. Needless to say, I was feeling good when I got to my seat. That was the last time I felt good that day. I watched Jamaal Lewis go off for like 200 yards, and Trent Dilfer threw 2 long TD's. Aikman got picked off 3 times, Emmitt got shut down, and I can't even tell you who any of our receivers were. It was a disaster, and the ravens won 27-0.

On the way out of the stadium, this dude in a wheelchair was loudly talking smack. One of my friends quietly muttered something about wishing he could punch him in the face. A girl walking next to us heard him, and turned around and told the dude in a wheelchair my friend wanted to punch him. **UGH** The dude in the wheelchair rolled up beside us, and continued to talk smack all the way to the exit. Since we were going down hill all the way to the bottom of the stadium from the 400 section, and he had wheels, there was no way to get away from him. I briefly thought about turning around and walking back up the ramp to get away from him. It's funny as hell now, but at the time, IT SUCKED, lol. I had such a bad experience, I've never gone to a game outside of Texas/Cowboys/AT&T Stadium since then. There's no place like home.

Oh, and *** the Ravens! It's time for some payback, we cannot fall to 0-5 against that team.

Like I mentioned his negative ones have come at bad times in critical games. Despite all his great plays he'll best be remembered for the bobbled snap vs Seattle in 06 because it happened in the final moments of a playoff game. Jackie Smith was a HOF TE he made a lot of great plays but he's best remembered for a negative play because it happened in the SB. Leon Lett was a very good player but he's only remembered for two negative plays on Thanksgiving and in the SB. The positive plays will be forgotten if they don't lead to anything. David Tyree was an average player but he's always be remembered for the catch he made in the SB. Dwight Clark will always be remembered for "The Catch" vs the Cowboys in the 81 title game.

I was at this game also... weird seeing Emmitt and co. live in 1991... then at the tail end of his career. My buddy is a Ravens fan... I'm from MD. Kind of wish the game was here.
