          <body>As a Cowboys fan I have to face one reality.  From the time we played the Giants last year up until this point our O line has shown to give Romo NO time.  I thought it was just the Giants great D last year and I do still give them props but Dallas will have major problems for any QB or ANY RB with the line missing blocks the way the do.  The end of the game against the Cardinals was a prime example.  The line didn't just not do a good job.  They allowed the D to come through so fast that the kicker hadn't even really got the ball down to his foot.  They literally almost tackled him before he could kick it!  
Romo can be a GREAT QB but with his butter fingers he is worse than many when it comes to pressure and he seems to always have at least one, &amp;quot;What a dummy&amp;quot; play per game.  
Don't even get me started on special teams.  Pathetic to say the least.  The whole game was handed to the Cards on a platter before Romo and the horrific O line had a chance to screw it up.  Things will have to be addressed and I do believe they can turn things around but it is going to take work and pulling out  couple of wins with a backup QB.</body>

        <body>I couldn't tell who was to blame, it might have been Tashard Choice on the punt block or 89, but it wasn't the o-line.  It wasn't good either way, but it was devestating.</body>

        <body>I think he's ready to drive a bus over the media.  I'm sure yall saw him in his bow tie when the media was looking for some classic sound bites, and he basically told them to truck off, so to speak.  

Also, as an FYI to those who may not have heard since it's not front page material, but Matt McBriar is out for the season with several broken bones in his foot.  I'm so disappointed in this.  Possibly more so than Tony's injury.  I think a lot of good can come from Tony taking 4 weeks off, and while I realize it is easier to replace a kicker, it isn't as easy to replace a kicker as good at McBriar.</body>

          <quoted-text>You mean about the Rookie of the Year. Jones was averaging over 9 yards a carry, which is unheard of in today's NFL. If he kept it up, he probably would be ROY because the people who vote for that are sports writers and they always love unbelievable stats. As for your list, I think Matt Ryan has a very good chance at the award just because QB's get all the attention.</quoted-text>

        <body>I don't think the # of rushes tells the story of how good he is.  If you watch the games, you will realize he adds an electricity like Barry Sanders or Mike Vick used to add.  Heck, even Devin Hester.  That's something and if the fans are feeling it, you know the defense is scared out of the minds.</body>

          <quoted-text>How did the Cowboys lose that game yesterday? The Cardinals were as sloppy as always. Threw away a 10 point lead with two minutes left. And still won. Without Romo for a month they might not be .500 for the year.</quoted-text>
          <commentable-sequence type="integer">69</commentable-sequence>
          <body>They may be sloppy but they won and Dallas lost.  Buffalo came in undefeated and got blown out.  Wake up Dallas and realize the Cardinals are HOT and had the heart to win after losing the 10 point lead.  Dallas can live in the past but there is no future this year.  Get the axe and money bags out Jerry - you need help.</body>

        <body>What do you mean &amp;quot;the Cardinals were as sloppy as always?&amp;quot;  They returned a kick-off for a touchdown, blocked a punt and returned it for a touchdown, the defensive front sacked Romo three times and forced three fumbles.  The Cardinals were victimized by officials who took two touchdowns off the scoreboard.  The Cowboys made the game-tying field goal (by inches) because of a Cardinals penalty - an offside penalty that was called because Travis LaBoy was limping off the field about 60 yards away.  Let's see - the Cards are 4-2 and the Cowboys are 4-2.  Interesting.</body>

&lt;p&gt;The bad news continues to pile up for the Cowboys, who dealt with the &lt;strong&gt;Adam &quot;Pacman&quot; Jones&lt;/strong&gt; situation last week and lost their second game in three weeks Sunday to the Cardinals. From &lt;a href=&quot;http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3640890&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;ESPN.com&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tony Romo&lt;/strong&gt; has a broken pinkie on his throwing hand and will be out four weeks, a  team source told ESPN's &lt;strong&gt;Michael Smith&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Romo initially was diagnosed with a pinkie sprain in Sunday's 30-24 overtime  loss to the Arizona Cardinals.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; Source: Romo to miss four weeks with broken pinkie (&lt;a href=&quot;http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3640890&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;ESPN.com&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;</body>
