I can't believe you didn't read my post. I said the Romo style, the one that has carried the Cowboys for the past decade. They aren't looking great at stopping Shittsburg, so they need to outscore them, as most Cowboys teams in the past have had to do to win.

And, it's laughable just how shit people think Romo actually is. I think you should go back and watch some his play then come back in and tell me just how bad they'd be if Romo wasn't playing.

You didn't read my post. I know you weren't saying Romo should be playing. I said why even bring the dude up when your team is playing great without him?

And how well did that Romo style "carry" the Cowboys who have been basically 8-8, and an average to below average team with like 1 freaking playoff win over the past 10 years?

Sensitive Cowboy fans are the worse. Think their underachieving team and QB is something to write home about. And I never suggest Romo was garbage.

He's not.

Titans on the rise. Don't expect the playoffs until next season but add a receiver and strengthen the corners next season and this team is going to be tough.

Boys have the lead, those missing extra points could become interesting.

And, of course, the defense buckles. Cowboys giving the game away again! Let's get people to come in an argue Romo isn't the best option for a 4th quarter comeback.

So much wow, just unadulterated wow occurring I can't even begin to go into the individual points.

I got a lot of gruff for drafting Dak Prescott and Ezekeal Elliott. Is this how you get points, Chaotic42? Yes it is, other Chaotic42. Yes it is.

How does it feel to be wrong about your team again?

I thought you knew something about football....

How am I wrong? Allowing a team to score a TD with less than a minute left and you need to drive down the field and score isn't giving the game away? Also, Romo has the most 4th quarter comebacks of any QB in the league, he's the guy that does this. Dallas got lucky on a face mask (and a missed face mask) and a huge hole exploited by the RB to get that win. To act like it was anything else is wearing fucking blinders.

Best seachickens have looked in weeks. They might be able to pull this off.

Ref mistook grabbing shoulder pads for face mask. Costly mistake in favor of NE.
Yeah that was a tough call though, it clearly looked like a facemask though from all angles other than that 1 they showed in slow motion on the replay.

damn, nice TD by Blount. Very Lynch-like. Carried the whole team with him, lol.

Didn't look like facemask to me when it happened live, even from the back. But I thought it was a horsecollar, so I would have thrown the flag anyway. Still would have been wrong.

Of course the defense sucked, but they're playing pretty good offensively without Romo. That negates your silly point about them needing to be "carried" by the Romo-styled offense at 8-1. How would the "Romo-styled" offense fix the defensive woes anyway?

Regardless, they've won 8-9 without that old, 35 year-old injury prone money pit.

A horse collar?

o_O

How could he horse collar with his hand on the facemask/shoulder area?

True. Can't blame the ref much for that. Wish they could use the replay in that situation.

I am confused as to why they kept playing zone and basically gave Seattle the lead....

Please help me understand why, anybody...
