Actually; the Bills are not a bad team. I mean I would think Dallas would **** em up; but these aint the Bills of old.

Yeah, the Bills of old were good enough to lose in the Superbowl.

What is everyone thoughts about the timeout rule? Tony Kornheiser said it's a stupid rule. I think it's absoulutly brilliant to ice a kicker like that.

Corn-hicker should shut up. It's a great rule! It's strategy. It's one of the little things that actually bring a cerebral element to football.

No, the 1 and 4 team is just great. Quit making excuses Excel.

Good lord with all of this Yankee s***. Get to the damn highlights, Sportscenter!

What a game! Romo had a bad game. It happens! He redeemed himself in the end. It was the team that came together and performed as a whole to pull it off. Good teams rise up under the weight of adversity. Bad teams get crushed by it. In the end we are 5-0.

 

[CConn]

If I were the coach, and playing any team but NE next week...Romo would be benched for his performance in this game.

And, if you were the coach, you'd be fired after your first season having gone 1-15.

Yeah, Romo threw 5 interceptions. But you know who else has thrown 5 interceptions? Troy Aikman. And Brett Favre. And probably some other cool guys I don't know about. My point being, as a coach, you have to look at more than just the interceptions.

You have to look at the player and who he is and what he's capable of. Romo isn't some rookie or no name QB. So far, he's played like an all star throughout his (albeit short) career. It's MUCH more likely he just had a bad game - like Aikman had, like Favre had - than has any serious failing or flaws.

And, thusly, bencing him would serve little purpose other than pissing Romo and his teammates (who I'm sure support him) off. Not to mention it would almost certainly hurt the Cowboys chances at another win.

I call it BS on Romo..... the fact of the matter is Romo blew the game and the Cowboys Team is what bail his arse out.... and he admitted that. They where playing the worst defensive team, loaded mind you, with injuries; and, Dallas was the top-rated offense.... and they had to screak out a win.

Romo did not read the defense well, he stared down receivers, and mad some damn awful throws in coverage. No one is hating on Romo; the dude just played bad and his team-mates bail his arse out. Good win for the Cowboys.... a sad loss for the Bills, which with a win could have possibly turned their season around.

What are you talking about; I saw one pick that was completely Romo's fault (the 1st one). The rest were them just playing good defense; Witten was the only one who was ever open. Obviously they are balls he shouldnt have ever thrown; but you cant give him all the credit for them. The Bills D played pretty sharp in that respect.

As for the Romo band wagon; the team was 1st in every offensive category with a decent at best running gamne; guess that means they must have an exception passing game which they normally do

If the Bills gave them this kind of night, the Pats are gonna kill them.

 

[Matt]

And if my Granny had wheels she'd be motorcycle.

Romo is still the ****. He had a bad game. It's about time the defense stood up and backed his ass up for a change. And I love my defense.

These are the games that make legends like Elway, Farve, and Staubach.

Only if you play well in them. Romo is not even close to the point where he can be compared to Elway, Farve, or Staubach. In fact, Romo to this point has proven himself to be nothing more than an average quarterback and if he stays exactly the same throughout his career he will be remembered with the likes of Tommy Maddox.

Wait till it happens to your team, then you'll hate it.


What I wanna see though, is somebody call the timeout, and the kick misses.

Well if he loses, I'll call him Danny White.

I agree he's not on the level alot of people put em, but average? He's better than that.

I think a young quarterback learns more from being benched for his mistakes then coddled for them. Look at how well Big Ben is playing this year. I have to think at least part of that is because Cowher didn't put up with his crap last season and had the guts to bench him and put Batch in when he was playing poorly.

 

[Addendum]

Every single team in the NFL has used it, including Dallas.

Kornheiser shoud just save his yapper for PTI, since it's the only TV thing he's good at

 

[Matt]

You can't be serious.

I am. At least he would learn something from it.

 

[omid17]

no one can reach Brady's level

 

[Bond]

Cowboys TOTALLY did not deserve that win.

Incredible 4th quarter though.

No, he can't be compared to them. But he is much more than just an average quarterback. He's played fantastically in most of the games he started. And, as I said, it's a lot more likely this was just a weird bad game for him than anything actually substantial.

 

[Mee]

You can't be serious.

He kids you not.







...Sorry I had to. Matt so crazy.

 

[Kelly]

So Romo had one bad game, and everyone's jumping off the #9 Bandwagon?

So the hell what? They won the game, and he made the plays at the end to win said game. Sure, he deserves criticism for his poor performance, but they'll move right on and get ready for New England. What's the big deal?

Nobody is jumping off the bandwagon, those of us that are Cowboy fans are not going to pat him on the back either. That's not how Cowboy fans do it. As I said, we will chew his ass on the sports radio shows tomorrow, and we'll yell louder than anyone else for him next Sunday. I was a baby in the basket at the Cotton Bowl watching Don Meredith. You want a quarterback that the Dallas fans *****ed about on a daily basis (except for my mom) thats the quarterback you look at. Romo will be fine, and benching him for this game would not be a smart move on the part of Phillips, and he won't even give that notion a second thought.

The server is down at the mainpage of the Cowboys....LMAO, thats the Cowboy fans trying to get to the blog to blast Romo, I guarantee it. Those same fans will be behind Romo next week.


Speaking of Elway, I wonder what would have happened if he had been benched after one of his multi-interception games? He had a few ya know.

 

[Matt]

I agree he's not on the level alot of people put em, but average? He's better than that.

He could be. Right now he is too inconsistent to make that call. He has potential, I won't deny that. But right now, he is just an average QB with very good recievers.

 

[Excel]

I personally think its a great rule and adds a kick ass level of strategy to the game. Really tests the kicker's nerves to boot.

1 bad game so you sit the guy with the 2nd bets QB rating in league behind Tom Brady? You do realize Romo has been playing BETTER than Peyton Manning right? Would you bench him to? Romo is now the NFL leader in yards and 2nd in touchdowns.

Yeah; benching him would be REAL smart

 

[Cmill216]

That's pretty friggin' illogical.

The Cardinals beat the Steelers, so surely the superior Seahawks would've beat them down too?

This was a magnetic crowd on Monday night with a team motivated to shock the world. Dallas will be ready at home for the Pats.

How can you even mention this newbie in the company of Aikman and Favre??? He was a place kick holder just last year. Those 2 guys are hall of famers and Super Bowl winners. He got a long way to go. And if the Bills D rattled him tonite, he ain't seen nothin' yet.
