romo
they'll probably give them one completion for the record and then get him out
Congratulations Tony Romo
despite how he's playing and not liking having him in the game, good to take a moment and consider what he's accomplished this season
that's why we need a WR for next year.

austin
if he had made that catch and a TD, it would have been a great way for the starters to go out. oh well.
terrible call...both should have access to spot.
by BoyzRback07 on Dec 30, 2007 5:17 PM CST reply actions
bad call
that should not have been PI. same as earlier play.
no Henry hit the receiver
the skins player jumped in front of the receievr and Glenn ran into him, Henry took a bad angle, ran into the receiver before the ball got there.
Worst call of the night
Good play by Henry!!!!!!
This is sad
I don't know why I'm still watching. I guess I'm just hoping to see Free, Stanback, and Co.
guess who was covering...#31

Hamlin, Ware, Spears only ones playing well

based on this week's games
I wouldn't be surprised if both the Giants and the Skins make it to the second round of the playoffs. We would see 3 out of 4 teams playing that week from the NFC East.
pathetic goal line Defense

Skins' O line dominating our front seven
by BoyzRback07 on Dec 30, 2007 5:23 PM CST reply actions
They dont want it and it was expected
Don't get all fired up over nothing. This game was meaningless and they know it. It's hard to get geared up for a meaningless game.

this is so sad
normally i stay at work and finish the game since i get off at 630 but not today later hopefully ill get a surprise when i get home
I'm not
I would rather play the Redskins then Seattle. Seattle has good WR's, one through three and a real good defense.
Let the Skins have there superbowl, they aren't going anywhere.
by Cowboys81 on Dec 30, 2007 5:28 PM CST up reply actions
we can't play Seattle in the
divisioanl playoffs. We're going to play Redskins, Giants or Bucs.
I'm not worried, Cowboys will be fired up
for playoffs, they aren't going to ruin the season like you guys are paranoid about.
Paranoid
I've watched enough games to see when a team is close to collapsing, this team is not firing on all cylinders and sitting for two weeks doesn't help, you have to worry about a team thats played this poorly down the stretch.
no you don't
I've also seen plenty of games to see that teams can turn it on in the playoffs, especially when we'll be getting back key players.
Let's go Brad...do us good.,

Cowboys Superbowl History
The Cowboys have never gave up a game this going into the playoffs and WON the Superbowl.
Not a good way to end the season.
Dallas got worse today...
by BoyzRback07 on Dec 30, 2007 5:30 PM CST reply actions
Talk to me when they play like
this with all their starters and play a meaningful game then I'll say they got worse. Thats a BS statement.
by Cowboys81 on Dec 30, 2007 5:31 PM CST up reply actions
This team had one starter out on offense
that was T.O and in a half their offense has been horrible, three points total, thats worse!!
so its Gurodes fault
that Romo threw a pick and is 7 for 16 for 86 yards. Where was T.O in the lion and Eagle game, dont remeber him being injured. So, OK, if Gurode and T.O cant play in two weeks, that'll be the excuse why we lost.. I'll write that down!!
Ok, I just want to know who you're going
to blame if the cowboys are one and done, I'm not saying they're going to be, just want to know the excuse why they lost...
sorry, offense
but Gurode is key to both run and pass offense, in both making plays and calling plays for the O-line. I would say our lack of passing yards and the pressure on Romo can be at least partially ascribed to his absence.
And T.O.'s absence is big.
I'm not asking the to win
but without T.O and Gurode, this offense should of atleast moved the ball on a couple of series, I'm not looking for them to put up thirty.
Don't underestimate the importance of Gurode
on the offense
only T.O.!! try Gurode as well
don't kid yourself, T.O. makes a huge difference, but you refuse to acknowledge that because you hate T.O.
We should think of signing T Collins next year.
by BoyzRback07 on Dec 30, 2007 5:35 PM CST reply actions
I have no confidence
In this team. I will be more surprised if we win a playoff game than if we don't. I'm chalking this season up as a loss right now. gg's
I'll Feel More Confident
Of sweeping, speculative predictions like that once Wade wins the first playoff game of his career.
does positive thoughts win games!!!!
Do I concern myself with the play of Newman, Ware , Witten and many others on the team, nope, dont need too, they do theri jobs, I worry about the players and positions on the team that concerns me that will keep this team from winning a superbowl.... I know you think everything is Great and that they're unbeatable, but the facts show otherwise.
with play from who
oh thats right Tony Romo - yea right
and out Pro Bowl RB - MBIII
by Arkcowboys on Dec 30, 2007 6:50 PM CST up reply actions
never said they would
it concerns me a great deal when a team plays like this down the stretch, superbowl teams start to put wins together down the stretch and play better, this team is not, not being pessies, just stating facts
Dear Wade,
Since we clinched the playoffs we have played lousy. Please make them practice and play better.
Should at least get Witten his catches.
by BoyzRback07 on Dec 30, 2007 5:43 PM CST reply actions
If I am any team in the playoffs I would
rather play dallas than skins right now. TO is hurt and we are one dimesional. Quarterback play has been eratic at times. The skins run the football down ur throats then hit high pct of passes and the defense is playing swarming defensive. There hot right now. Seatle got there hands full.
yeah...that's the Brad I know.
by BoyzRback07 on Dec 30, 2007 5:43 PM CST reply actions
put Stanback in at QB

Jones could pack his bags now...he's outta here.

LOL....Doom
by BoyzRback07 on Dec 30, 2007 5:50 PM CST up reply actions
Hey now...
don't get me wrong. I love this team but over the past several weeks they have played nothing like the team we saw early in the year. At this rate there is no chance in hell we win a Super Bowl let alone a playoff game. That's not being a pessimist, that's being realistic. Oh.. did I mention the Skins just scored again?
why is it realistic to think we can't play
well in the playoffs with key personnel back in the lineup?? To me, thats being pessmistic saying we can't.
enuff....I'm turning off the TV....see ya

Wheels Are Coming Off
I could stomach a loss, even to the Redskins who I hate.
I can stomach a poor game. But I can't bear to see this team look so mentally sloppy. Our offensive starters played terrible, especially Romo. Our backups look disinterested. It's like we took the week off.
History is not kind to teams that coast into the playoffs, like we are.
It's entirely possible we lose our first playoff game. There is no entitlement that goes with being the number one seed in the playoffs. We need to play better soon, or we're toast.
Reeves is just one of many weak links
that need to be traded.
this is a sad sad day
we sucked in ALL FACETS OF THE GAMME
our defense is awful
and we're only resting rat and T-newm
sure
but we barely beat the skins the first time,somehow I don't see t-new and rat being worth 24 points...we have 9 starters getting their asses handed to them...
Nobody says that
from what i've seen in 2 games this year...head-to-head....washington IS the better team...
we can't stop them!
OUR DEFENSE SUCKS!!!!!
Actually, it's more like our secondary that sux.
ok...calling all CB's in '08 draft- Valley Ranch
will be making mass auditions beginning in Febuary. Pack a lunch...wholesale changes are needed,Newman,Hamlin,Watkins,Brown stay....all others should be released.
by BoyzRback07 on Dec 30, 2007 5:55 PM CST reply actions
this team feeling to good about itself especially
With the pro bowl annocments and that great 13-3 record but its time to get back to work and get focused for the pplayoffs. 13-3 means nothing in two weeks.
he will answer like he always does "we won
13 games i think thats pretty good offense and defense"
Shows you
Just how important Newman is. With him on the field, Santana Moss doesn't produce at anywhere near this level.
It's obvious that we need to pick up a corner. Jacques Reeves is nowhere near adequate.
Brad Johnson> Tony Romo today.
Buck-get a glue..JJ with Power ??????????????????

by BoyzRback07 on Dec 30, 2007 5:59 PM CST reply actions
this game is pretty much what I expected
I'm happy nobody got hurt and key players were able to heal and get rest.
Packers
were able to play well today despite being in the same situation as the Boys today, which doesn't make us look too good.
On the other hand, the Packers looked absolutely awful last week and got their butts handed to them by the Bears, but came back great this week, which shows how a team can look sloppy one week and sharp the next.
the same thing it says about the Pats
when they needed a last second TD to beat the pathetic Ravens.
And if we played better
Skins would not be a playoff team.
Irrelavant. We suck bad today.
How many games back? Since we're
reviewing past history.
neither could ROMO todayt
DECEMBER SWOON ...AGAIN!!!!!!
we haven't played a good game since the 1st half of the packers game! thats right! Welcome to the december SWOON once again! we've lost 2 out of 3,played terrible against the lions and the panthers and think we have an excuse to lose today?
whats gonna be the excuse in 2 weeks?
All people are saying Terry
is that the way this team is playing down the stretch, it is very very concerning to everyone and rightfully so.
saying our season is over is not being
concerned, its being unreasonably pessimistic.
and thats exactly my point
its a new beginning, this game and all the others in December mean nothing.
We have 2 weeks to get healthy and better and there is no reason why they won't get it done for the playoffs.
HaHa yes our season is over!!!!
I agree with you
I'm an optimist like Terry, and still feel very good about our chances in the postseason with key starters back, two weeks to rest, and the intensity of the playoffs to focus the potential of this team, but the last few weeks have certainly not inspired confidence, and definitely have me a lot more concerned than I was after Pack game.
Sham just pointed out the same stat
The Cowboys have never lost the last game of the season and gone on to win the Superbowl.
Watch Indy tonight and see how a team going into
the playoffs are suppose to play in the first half before sitting and watching. Having nothing to play for. This is are rivals and we play like this? its ok to lose to them but like this? I'm worried about this team and coaching staff the rest of the way. We will see what Wade is made of as a HC over the next two weeks. I hope he gets these guys ready to play.
Sure couldve used DMAC today..lol

lol here we go

thats what they'll say
after the bowl game when he's suspended for the game for contact with an agent....
He's not suspended
An Arkansas television station recently linked McFadden and an agent to the purchase of a vehicle. After strong denials by the agent and McFadden's parents, the station apologized Friday, saying its report was flawed. The school said over the weekend it was still looking into the matter, but coaches expressed confidence McFadden would play against Missouri as expected.
Arkansas RB McFadden not concerned about being eligible for Cotton Bowl

typical...probably driven'a Hummer thinkin' he's
PIMP.....I hope he gets suspended from the game...and more allegations are made about him...and he drops to the Cowboys with the 24th pick in the draft..... LOL
by BoyzRback07 on Dec 30, 2007 7:06 PM CST up reply actions
Wouldn't it be justice...
...if Bobby Petrino began his first few years @ Arkansas with limited scholarships and some kind of probation -- esp. after how he did Arthur Blank @ The Falcons?!?!
1995
The 1995 team went 2-2 in December, but went on to squeek out a SB win! I hope we repeat 1995.
I think we looked this bad because the starters stayed out longer than expected. They mailed it in today. The backups would have played harder because they would have been playing to keep a roster spot.
I hated the way we played because it was against the skins and I hate looking at the smug look on Gibbs face when they win against the Boys, but we only went through the motions so I wont burn for 2 weeks.
On the bright side, if we were really playing hard I think we score 2 TD's in the 1st half instead of attempting FG's and we could have scored 2 more TD's with our starting receivers [drops] and maybe won this game.
I will worry in 2 weeks if their is a repeat performance.
by hjafri on Dec 30, 2007 7:48 PM CST reply actions
The 1995 Team
Won their last two games, including a road blowout against Arizona in their final game. That last game righted the ship for the playoffs, but in this case we're still taking in water.
