You can overlook Romo's choke problem all you want, but now the national news media is catching on and it will get worse for him now that they are turning on him. I saw the game, Romo is screaming at the O-line, TO is screaming at coaches, the owner is making the coach look stupid. This team is a time-bomb that is about to stop ticking.....

Isn't that why the Eagles let TO go?

Yep. Couldn't get along with Donovan, couldn't get along with Jeff Garcia, can't get along with anyone but a tv camera unless you throw to him on every play. Jerry Jones has as the Eagles (the band, not the team) said in the song "set up S. O. L. so carefully" by gathering up all the TOs and Pacmans of the world. He seems to be trying to recapture the good old days of The Pleamaker, Michael Irvin.

I personally reject those types of players and if you hold them up for the world to see as a representative of your franchise, I reject your franchise. Hurry up and go home Cowboys.

How about those 49ers giving it to the Jets

A little bit of that and the 9ers are looking a LOT better since the new coach and starting QB. Shaun Hill is 5-2... O' Sullivan was 0-6

49'ers will make playoffs next year and finish this year at either 7-9 or 8-8. Not bad considering at one time they were 1-7

You are right, no disrespect to the Niners. They are playing much better and I am quite proud of former Chicago Bear Mike Singletary. He is doing a great job.

first off...i ALWAYS blame JJ...hes an idiot

second, romo doesnt have a "choke" problem...after last weeks game he was the #1 qb in the nfl. hes great...theres no point in making fun of romo because you dont like the cowboys...thats like making fun of favre because you dont like the jets.

second...TO was NOT running his routes, everytime he was 8-10feet away looking around like "where am I?"....Witten was not running his routes either which is why you have that last INT and you see witten tell romo it was his fault, cuz it was.

granted, romo and the cowboys dont play well in the cold....but people just werent running their routes and there was poor communication on offense

We agree! Jerry Jones is an idiot. What you refer to as poor communication, I see as a breakdown of the team as a whole, with players and coaches turning on one another. As Mike Singletary said "Can't win with it".

While we are briefly in agreement here. I would like to share a dark secret with you. I used to love the Cowboys. There, I said it. When I was a kid, I had a Roger Staubach jersey and I wore it well after it had holes in it. I had a complete Cowboys football uniform that I loved to wear out in the yard to play football in as a child. Jerry Jones bought the team, uncermoniously fired one of the greatest coaches in the history of the game (and a fine man) changed the culture (brought in the University of Miami thug culture), changed the values (it became win at any cost) and lost me as a fan.

I still think Romo chokes under pressure. Maybe he will grow out of it.

Yeah Witten, TO and Romo were not on the same page. After a few Steeler licks they couldn't think straight. I'm suprised Pittsburgh is 10-3 with there schedule. If they get a consistent offense they will be hard to stop in the playoffs.

They have no offense, which is why they will not get a ring. I also know the Boys aren't consistent enough to get one.

i grew up on cowboys...they were my pick when i was 6 in 1991 and got into football...i day dreamed everyday of getting football cards signed by aikman and emmitt...all the while my parents asking me since we lived in houston why i wasnt gonna be an oilers fan like themselves lol....as much as I hate JJones...as mad as I was when Jimmy left and when JJones let emmitt go to arizona....I will always be a cowboys fan no matter what.

the defense had nothing to do with that....poor communication plus us texans dont do well in sub 60 degree temps...you can tell yourselves it was the steelers D if it helps you sleep at night...the cowboys did it to themselves...we have the power to destroy any team we play...we can just never get it together

It was nice to see Gayle Sayers during the pregame show. I have always been a huge fan of The Kansas Comet. I have never seen anyone do what he could do with the ball in his hands.

OH! Bears just ran the opening kick back for a TD!!!

[falcongtho3]

Stupid NFL network....

(And the Bears will continue to dog the Saints...as much as I'd love to see the Saints win and continue to a playoff berth...)
