Think I will bring up a few gripes and see if anyone agrees. The loss tonight to the Beagles concerns me. Reading just about anything I can find concerning the 'Boys, I read alot about the name of the game is all about "winning". Tony Romo spouts it all the time......winning is winning regardless of how ugly it is, or in so many words. I admired the way they beat Buffalo, and how they slugged it out with New England, although I did feel they could have won that game. The Lions game was commendable, esp the last 2 minutes or so, and pulled out the win. They should have never had to be in that situation in the first place tho. The Lions game should have been more easier than it turned out to be. Credit the Lions for coming out to play. The game tonight should have been won as well.
Tony Romo couldn't hit the broad side of a barn tonight. I wonder why. Was it his thumb, or was it Jessica?(distraction maybe?) Or both? If the name of the game is "winning", then should egos stand in the way?.Maybe Tony should have rested while Brad Johnson played? Especially after hurting his thumb. As of this writing, I know not when he hurt it or the extent of it. But, it clearly affected his throwing. Granted, they won what they wanted, (1st round bye) but it took Seattle losing to accomplish that, not taking care of their own business, although the defense did try.But, the defense cannot stay on the field all day long either. They had to change other people in other positions.......why is the QB any different? I'm not saying that Brad Johnson would or could have won the game, but he is a Super Bowl winning QB, and he must have something left to be a backup, and I feel he should have been given a chance to win this game. What was there to lose anyway, but the game ?
I have watched the 'Boys since the days of Don Meredith...not sure if I seen Eddie LeBaron play or not, but I do remember the team with Meredith for sure. The 'Boys are and will be my team forever more, regardless of how they win, lose, or draw. I have seen all kinds of wild things, and decisions that are questionable, and games that will live in infamy. But, this year seemed to be special.....15-1 a possibility if they played like I know they can. Now, I am left to wonder if they will be able to beat Carolina, and Washington the next 2 weeks. I know if they continue this trend, they won't beat Green Bay in the conference game should they get there, and if all things fall into place as they look to be. I am looking forward to a Dallas-New England rematch in the Super Bowl, with the 'Boys winning, but they have to be on top of their game, and they can't do that if they continue lowering themselves to the level of the teams they should have easily beat

I think it was Romo's thumb. I mean, seriously, you think Simpson was honestly distracting him?
He looked tentative at times, and his release seemed to have a slight twitch to it... Just slight enough that a few deep passes to Owens were off, though I think Owens needs to learn to give a BIT more. On that one later in the game near the goal-line, Owens could have caught it if he extended his body a bit.

The quarterback is different thatn a linebacker. LBs rotate because players get tired, not cause they suck.
Rotating QBs is an OBVIOUS indication of discomfort within your team.
And come on. If you saw Brad last year, you'd know he couldn't hit a barn either. As was said in the pre-season, he wasn't brought in to play.

This time last year, Romo was dating country singer Carrie Underwood. In fact, she was in a luxury box last December when Dallas played Philadelphia.
The Cowboys lost that game and Romo had the worst performance of his career. At least, it was the worst until Sunday, when he had a 22.2 quarterback rating

It drives me insane to hear it suggested that because he had a girl there to watch the game it distracted him. The media was more focused on her than he was, guaranteed. Anyone who has watched Tony Romo week-in, week-out knows that he is a fierce competitor and had nothing but the game on his mind when he was on the field. He had a bad game. He's had 2 this year, and one of them he found a way to win. Considering what he brings to this team, he gets a pass from this fan for having a bad game. Probably was his thumb, but I'm not big on giving excuses for losing... he had a bad game, his 2nd out of 14. The sky is not falling.

Romo's thumb appeared to be bothering him after he got tackled early in the 3rd qtr.....i think he fell on his hand when he got pushed to the ground by a couple of the Eagles D-linemen. his release didn't look right at all.
Eagle Hater, gotta agree with you on TO......if he had stretched at least a little bit, he could have caught that pass. Westbrook had a helluva game....he is fun to watch.

That's exactly what it was.....nothing more than a suggestion.....the poor play was more likely due to his thumb, but he was also over due for a bad game anyway....however, human nature being as it is, it is possible Romo was indeed trying "too hard", or "to impress" and wasn't relaxed enough to have fun. I am not trying to psychoanalyze him, but it very well could be that he was trying to impress her. Only he knows for sure.I don't know that, nor do you know he had his mind totally on the game.I don't see how you can guarantee where his mindset was, because only he knows that. He puts his pants on one leg at a time just like we all do, so he's not infallible to any other human emotions. I'm sure he knows this, and will correct it if that's the case. The Panther game will tell, as will the Washington game. For the record, I am a total Cowboys fan, win, lose, or draw. I'm not disrespecting Romo in any way, shape or form, but just know he is human..nothing more, nothing less.
