as a win as I’ve ever seen from this group. Not really impressive in any way, except for a couple of guys named Jones.

D stepped it up when it counted, certainly didn’t get much rest with ol’ Crisco Hands at the helm today…

Defense was getting zero pass rush almost the entire game. Our tackling was weak in the first half, but in the second we were hitting harder and wrapping up.

Romo has not looked sharp since the Green Bay game. With the weapons we have, there is no need to be consistently sloppy with the ball. I’m not panicking yet, but it’s cause for concern. It will be hard to go deep in the playoffs with a QB who throws an interceptions every game.

But he is still looking relatively decent, if not pretty. I still have faith in him, I just hope he can start to understand the value of ball security. I still wouldn’t trade him for another QB.

Next week. AZ will blitz all day and make you curse Romo like never before if he turns it over 3 or 4 times.

Here’s a good sign: I don’t think the interception was a result of a bad decision, it was more of a bad throw. Romo had had a couple of underthrows during the game, as if he were trying to guide the ball deep instead of letting it drop into the receiver. However, on that last drive the worst possible thing that could have happened is a turnover. The Cowboys needed points, and they needed the clock to run down. Romo rolled out to his right, and had the choice of a) forcing the pass into the end zone; b) throw it out of bounds; c) try to make a play; or d) just fall down and take a sack, forcing the Bengals to burn a timeout and giving the Cowboys another chance for a play. Old Romo might have done a or c, but instead he took d. The next play he made a great throw to Austin, who played Butterfinger Jones with the ball, and then Crayton caught it for a game clincher.

Another thing: I love you Tony, you’re the best we’ve had in years, but you gotta tuck the dang ball.

I hate Phil Simms with a PASSION.

Interesting press conference by Owens after the game.

We are the third best team in the Beast, and the Giants are the best team in the NFC.

At least there’s a ways to go.

it’s really quite that easy.

And run the ball with Felix.

It’ll be even easier.

… it was a win. And sometimes hanging tough and winning a game like this does more for a team’s focus than winning a blowout going away.

But as a fan, I’d rather have the lopsided victory in our favor ;~)

dominating in September and October did us no good last year. I’d much rather figure things out as we go along rather than just cruise to December and then fall apart.

The only downside is in the NFC East, every loss is going to be crucial.

Romo has a few hiccups but comes back and leads our team to victory with some clutch throws, defense is sporadic but has some key stops….I’ll take it at this point in the season.

The promises of greatness, the assurances that this team has overcome its problems of previous years, the guarantee that fans would see inspired football because of the way last year ended…

ALL LIES.

This team still has no character, it is all finesse and lacks both the leadership and mental toughness to win a championship.

I’m tired of watching the same team I saw last year wonder why lesser teams outmuscle them in the trenches and out-execute them in key situations.

I think that Wade is not the guy we hoped he was, that Brian Stewart is a empty baseball cap, that Jason Garrett still has a lot to learn, that Bruce Read should resign, that Romo isn’t strong enough of a leader and that Dave Campo is past his prime.

I don’t know who this team is. what they stand for, what their purpose is…and I can’t keep walking around telling myself a win is a win. We haven’t played a game where we’ve won convincingly in all phases of the game despite not having beaten a team with a winning record. This team is far too Hollywood to think it can play smashmouth football in December against more disciplined teams in bad weather.

Nope, I think we’ve all been lied to.

the defense is definitely a bit worrying, but mainly because im beginning to lose confidence newman will be back any time soon fully healthy.

The D-line/OLBs are not getting to the QB and the O-line is marginal in pass blocking. The team will improve when/if they do.

I gave him pre-season and now 5 regular season games to prove he was capable of coaching.

This team is 31st in punt returns, with one of the better return guys (his rust should be gone by now), that’s horrible.

And the GD kickoff coverage isn’t getting any better. That is really infuriating. Score a TD or FG then watch the other team take it back 40-50-60 yds on the ensuing kick and put our defense in a difficult spot.

Even El Gato hasn’t had a really good return except for the one he took all the way against the Iggles.

The onside kick was a great call by Cincy and probably would have caught a lot of teams of guard, but the replay showed they kicked to a spot where there were maybe 3 Cowboys in the picture. So you know their coaching staff spotted that weakness and took note in case they needed to onside it.

I hope Jerry can find someone else to get in here and get this unit playing at least decently. The quicker the better.

I was at my parents’ house for the weekend, and I forgot to bring a jersey with me. I want to apologize to my fellow Boys aficionados for my irresponsible fanhood. Just to be sure I didn’t curse them, I wore no shirt during the game. It won’t happen again…
TOOOOO many dropped interceptions. I think we missed 3. No excuses. Push-ups for the defense. We were playing WRs closer to the line. I liked that. Tony needs to squeeze the rock. What really pissed me off was after the fumble when he ran for that 3rd and 4, he still didn’t put two hands on the ball. Again, no excuses. FELIX! FELIX! FELIX! YOU, SIR, ARE MY HERO! I can be the next ST coach for the Boys. Kickoff coverage is an easy fix. STAY IN YOUR FREAKING LANES!!! You learn that in Pee Wee, man. Again, no excuses. Finally, T.O.‘s short and sweet press conference was enough for the media to give him grief. They took it as him being angry for 2 catches. Could it possibly be that he doesn’t like you all and doesn’t want to have his words twisted by you mediots??? Go figure…

…because at some point, luck runs out. Then, all you have is what you are.

The gloom and doom squad should just slit their wrists now, because no team in the league is going to lay down and let us beat them. Cry me a river over imperfection and the fact that we’re going to have to earn this the hard way. Nothing is sunshine, and the sky ain’t falling. Last time I checked a win was a win, one point or 100. Everything everyone said here tonight was utter bull doodie, and at the same time utterly true. Why? Because it is all conjecture. Those with an optimistic outlook will see what they want, just like those of a distinctly less than optimistic point of view. The only way we’ll find out is to tune in next week. To my way of thinking, ….do it lovely, do it ugly, it’s all the same to me. If Romo throws 5 picks and we win(and he has, and we have) all those picks are irrelevant. If he throws none, and we lose(and he has, and we have) then all the nonsense about him being the weak link is just so much hokum. You can whip yourself into a frenzy over this foul up, and that mistake, but the cure all is winning. It can cover just about any stink, ask Eli.
