It does if you read the beginning of the article. 8-> :-@ :x >- :bz ~O) Emoticons! Yeah!

Well that was a blown opportunity. They could've gone up 2 games on the Eagles. Instead they lose to the Redskins - and Colt McCoy - at home. Now they have ARI next week. Fuck.

I usually defend Romo, but not tonight. I think he should have stayed out of the game. They had some good momentum going with Weeden - he took them on back to back scoring drives. The Redskins' defence weren't getting to him with the pass rush like they were against Romo.

I think Romo was too focused on himself being the hero, rather than thinking what was best for the team. Plus he ended up getting flattened again on the second snap and very nearly - should have - turned the ball over. I don't know how that Redskins player didn't cover the ball up.

Anyway, now they fall to 6-2 and quite possibly will be 6-3 going into the bye week if they lose to ARI. I wonder if they have peaked? You know every opponent going forward is going to study tonight's tape and do the same thing the Redskins did tonight. Too bad they don't have the bye next week because they could use it to reassess and give Romo time to heal.

I don't have a good feeling about the game against the Cardinals.

I absolutely love watching the cowboys lose

The Waiting Trophy Man

Lol. Lots of people do.

I can't believe they lost. 10 point favourites to win and a third string QB who hadn't played in 3 years went into AT&T stadium and got the win. Pathetic.

To be honest ... I think many fans would be elated at 6-2 after 8 games, we have a solid shot at being 7-3 at the bye. They were due for a game like that ... this isn't all on Romo, if Murray doesn't fumble at the 10 thats a guaranteed 3, Dez dropped a sure TD from Weedon thats 4 points, not too mention all the other drops, the play calling in OT was horrible, if your Running Back put 140 yards on them then keep running in OT till they stop it. The O-line did a poor job at stopping the blitz as well.

As for the D ... they were horrible. Didn't tackle well, didn't cover well and maybe my biggest beef didn't get off the field enough when Washington was starting deep in their own territory, just didn't flip field position on them enough.

I agree Romo should not have been back in the game.

All and all just a bad game, the kind of game we'll see every once in a while from a young team.

On the positive this game could serve as a wakeup call ...

Durant done for the season, thats not good.

Lawrence will get his first game action next week ... hopefully he'll provide some sort of pass rush.

Murray gets 8 yards on their first play in OT.......then, the geniuses (who, I'm not exactly sure) decide to throw it 3 times. Game over. Drive safely. Fuck me. X(

Probably Lineham ... And throwing 3 times with'a QB that spent much second half in the locker makes even less sense.

if i were ever to meet jason garret, i would ask him: "so, what would you say it is....that...ya do here?" haha. so many cooks in the kitchen.

gotta say-- that was a fantastic football game. i'd say that if you guys pulled it out too. thanksgiving cannot get here soon enough.

The Juggler

brandon weeden is your starting quarterback today.

The Waiting Trophy Man

Good decision. Now Romo has a couple of weeks to get healthy because they're on a bye next week.

Weeden looked good on both drives last week. He should have finished the game. Looking forward to seeing how he performs through 4 quarters today.

they're in London next week. the bye is week 11

lukin2006

Weedon is terrible, just terrible ... He looks so unprepared. If it wasn't for all the Arizona dropped balls this game would be a blowout.

lukin2006

After these last 2 weeks this team looks like team I thought they were going to be...

Oh are they?

They sure are playing a lot of games in London this year. This'll be the third one. If I'm not mistaken they usually only play one game per year at Wembley Stadium.

I really hope they don't get a franchise over there. Keep it the NATIONAL football league.

Anyway, I agree Lukin2006 - Here we go again. May not finish 8-8, but might not be much better.

The Juggler

how do you guys feel about romo starting?

It kind of looks that way. I am hoping we're wraong and these last 2 games are just a blip. They really messed up on the backup QB ... of course I'm not sure how many good one's were available when Orton pushed Dallas into a corner. I was really hoping Weedon would have played well then they could have rested Romo till after the bye. The O-line better be prepared tomorrow, the jags are second in sacks ... I suspect we'll see a lot of Murray and Randle, wouldn't surprise me if they run 40 times. It would also help if Dez shows up.

I say this if we win ... and Romo finishes the game, then the team is in good shape, 7-3 and would currently be holding the the 1st wildcard position.

Lose and I see an implosion and another 8-8 year.

Do they really need Romo to beat the lowly Jaguars? The Dallas D should be able to handle that themselves. JAX is 0-5 on the road and have 1 win so far. If DAL needs Romo for this game then they have problems.

This is a good opportunity to rest Romo. Plus they have the bye week next week. I don't see the need to play him Sunday. He shouldn't even be joining the team in London. Just stay home.

He may go out there and perform well and get the win, but it's a hell of a risk. It's not like they are in panic mode just yet. PHI has CAR this week, so there's a good chance DAL will be tied with the Eagles for first place.

Actually I do think they need Romo ... Weedon was terrible last week, that was just some awful QB play. Even though the D looks better this year, that has a lot to do with the fact that the O has done a good job controlling the time of possession. My hope for tomorrows game is Dallas can get up by 17-21 and then maybe bring in Weedon to hand the ball off to Murray and Randle.

And at this point I'm pretty sure Romo's playing.

And I am not underestimating the Jags ... I believe they are second in the league with 28 sacks.

they may have only 1 win but on any given Sunday ...
