And I wouldn't have it any other way. I've read all the posts on this board, and usually I'm quick to comment, but I haven't really touched it. Everybody's saying Fire Wade! Fire Redball! Trade Romo and Barber!!!
...really?!?! You want to trade the two best players we have on offense? And maybe Wade isn't the greatest head coach in the world, but since he took over the defense, they've been playing like dudes possessed. So we lost a game that most of us said was the one we could afford (if any) to lose. Romo got owned by the number one defense in the league. We won 80% of this game. Our defense was nothing short of dominant. And while our offense reeked of inconsistency, they were doing enough to win. We said first to ten wins (I said first to 17 which proved true...). But STILL. I understand this is a tough tough TOUGH loss to swallow, but it happens. That's life. Yeah this would've been a hell of a win, but it wasn't in the cards. We turned the ball over 5 times to the best D in the league and we came within an hair of winning. Some of you guys are SO quick to trash this team and say screw it, I can't wait til next year. That's fine with me. Break your legs jerking your knees so hard. If you're that sort of fair- weather fan, than cry me a freakin' Mississippi. Go root for the Texans. Support your friggin team. Through thick and thin. And yeah, things are pretty nasty right now, but in case ya'll didn't notice, we're in the playoffs right now. We have the biggest game of the season this week vs. the VaGiants and they looked woeful too against the Eagles. And I want to do nothing short of BUST THEIR *SSES!!! Brandon Jacobs may be out with a knee injury. Their receivers dropped everything thrown near them, and their defense is nothing like the one we just played. Take your heads out of your backsides, change your diapers, and wash your jerseys. Come back ready to play (I'm talking to the players now, btw) and protect your house. Piss and moan all you want today, but get it together and let's get a HUGE win. Antonio had a stinker, it happens. But how many times has he crapped the bed two weeks in a row? If we completely fall off this month and miss the playoffs, I'll eat crow. That's fine. But at least I have the testicular fortitude to stand by my Boys when the deck is stacked against us. Do you?

Cut it
out w/ the rhetorical questions. Oh are you implying the Jints are Giant female sex organ? Giants 37 Boys 31
those Giants fans are quick aren't they?

Nah it's cool. They do that.
Already Monday and he’s trying to talk smack. I’m definitely used to it…

I got a lot of heat from my own blog earlier today about talking smack and all. Was my comment even trash talking? I simply asked Aikmanguy to stop with the rehtorical ?s and gave out a prediction. The fact that ya call us the VaGiants, besides being a bad insult, I wanted to know where he was going w/ it? I mean this is coming from a forum where Boys fans got all amped up when people would call Romo, Tony Homo. Yet he comes out already dropping VaGiants? Anyways, yea I saw what your defenses did to bottom tier offenses. Pretty impressive. We may not drop 31 but def more than 25.
Should be a great game Sunday Night
Giants coming off a home loss, need to regroup and win to capture the number one seed in the NFC. Dallas is coming off a painful loss on the road, need to bounce back and play better against a division foe and a NFC team to stay in contention for a wildcard spot in the playoffs and a half game lead over Philly, I’m more worried about Philly than Atanta.
I'm sorry I called your team the VaGiants...
I didn’t realize that you were that sensitive. I meant it to be read by Cowboys fan, as this is a Cowboys blog. And at least VaGiants is more original the Tony Homo (Oh my god, I get it now…Romo rhymes with Homo. HAHAHA That’s hilarious!!!

oh and by the way...
37 points on this D at home? did you watch either game yesterday We will now be able to stack the box against BJ or Ward or Bradshaw and let your Cheddar-Plaxless WR drop some more passes..
Lets Go Cowboys!!!

BTW
T.O. plays for the Cowboys. Mister notorious for dropping balls.
I'm still on the bandwagon
We needed to go 3-1 in the final 4. Atlanta and Washington losing helped us a lot. We can still go 3-0 in the final 3 and make the playoffs.
Wade has been kicking butt with his D lately.
Eli’s gonna have that open-mouthed-duh look this week, cuz there’s gonna be stars flying all over his line.
This is a rivalry game. No sweeps allowed. Hopefully Jacobs plays.
Love that Dallas has 2 night games left at hope. Romo shines when the lights are on!
George Teague did it all.
Lol
well you can hope for the dumb Eli look (I think it’s histerical everytime he does it). Ill be hoping that by the 4th qrt, Romo won’t be smiling looking like he can never be upset. Instead I hope he has that look on his face at the end of the Steelers game. The choke look.
Won't happen
No Cold, No #1 D, and we dropped 30 points on a better D(Philly and Was).
Can do something positive and give us an update on the Ross and Jacobs injury?
"If you see me up in the mountains with a lion, I ain't lyin
don't help me, help the mountain lion"
No updates on those
fronts. Although Jacobs said he’s fine, I think that’s just a player trying to downplay the injury
Just as long as it's not that holding his helmet look from the Seattle playoff game.
It’s crazy that this will be the 1st time Romo plays your Gigantes this season. He’ll be smiling if he can complete a left-handed pass next week.
George Teague did it all.

Actually
I think most everybody is handling this loss pretty well on the blog. That was a gut-punch yesterday yet the large majority of posts this morning are about the future and getting to the playoffs, etc. It’s a very small minority who think it’s all over and we need to blow up the team. Great job of staying positive in the face of adversity here on the blog.
I'm handling the loss well
in terms of our chances. I’m not handling the game itself that well. It’s been a rough day of work, to say the least.

I think it is because this team (the def more specifically) has been playing good football
now the Off did not, and that the play has gotten better on the Def and the off will be better than it will this last game.
Ignore the Mainstream Media, EMBRACE THE HATE!!!!
I'll definitely agree that this one stung...
And still stings. My office full of Ravens’ fans keep asking me what happens. They’re giving me wounds the slug treatment with all the salt. It just seemed to me like all the pessimists get extra loud after each loss…

It's the "I told you so syndrome" and it comes out big time after a loss.
Ignore the Mainstream Media, EMBRACE THE HATE!!!!
Responding to adversity…
The great teams do it, and the almost teams don’t. If this team comes out and manhandles the Giants next week this loss to the Steelers will be completely forgotten and all the talk on this board will be optimistic again. If this teams wins out and finishes 11-5 they are going to be the team that no one wants to play in the playoffs.
The Giants for example got pounded by the lowly Browns 35-14 earlier this year and how did they respond; by winning 7 straight games. The Cowboys have the players to do the same. From here, a 7 game winning streak would put them at 15-5 and the franchise would have its 6th Super Bowl ring.
Question is does this team have the coaching staff to pull off such a streak. Time will tell.
You are hearing it here first.
The Cowboys will pummel the Giants next week. I’m thinking something like 38-14. This is assuming they don’t have anymore serious injuries of course.
This team is ready to explode and the Giants come to town looking a touch vulnerable and perhaps a touch overconfident in their recent success against the Cowboys.
The Cowboy’s team they are about to see on 12/14 is going to be a far cry from the one they saw on 11/2. I expect the ‘boys to come out angry and as fired up as we’ve seen them in years.
I agree
This Giants team is on a down swing and I truly believe the Cowboys are now on an upswing. That loss was hard, really hard, but it showed that we have a defense that can win games for us. Now we just need to put it together with our offense that we’ve become used to seeing. Watch out Giants.
"So you can’t stiff arm at all? What about the throat?"- Marion "Barbarian" Barber
yep
They were us last year, peaked to Early..
I remember a Giants team playing in a dawg fight in Week 17 last year and losing, but using it as momentum.. Let’s do the same.
"If you see me up in the mountains with a lion, I ain't lyin
don't help me, help the mountain lion"
This is true
but… The game was more of Eli taking over the offense then anything else we did. Up until that game he was playing like a bust. Romo has never played like a bust. Only when it matters.
Romo can't play like a bust cause he wasn't drafted #1 overall.
Oh, he wasn’t drafted at all!
George Teague did it all.

Romo
I honestly don’t see where the choker comments come from.. I really don’t..
Oh well like Bobby C said on special teams the only way to lose the label is to win this december. Time to let it play out.
"If you see me up in the mountains with a lion, I ain't lyin
don't help me, help the mountain lion"
I'm a permanant passenger of the bandwagon
and I’m never getting off. I trust Romo will have a great game against the GMen and we’ll be back on track to get into the playoffs.
In Romo we Trust
Since I'm a nice guy terry, I'm going to help you out.
You look like you need some more legroom on that Romo bandwagon, I’ll remove that league MVP trophy, I’m sure Romo wont be seeing it after that proformance Sunday…..
WOW, the ROMO league MVP talk died real quick after Sundays game……..LOL
What do you suggest we do Deke?
Bench Romo, draft another QB? You have a top 5 Qb on your favorite team and you still complain. Some people are never happy. Misery loves company, I am not joining your company Deke..
Not excusing Romo’s play last game, but not ready to forget his six 300 yard games this season either.
"If you see me up in the mountains with a lion, I ain't lyin
don't help me, help the mountain lion"
+1
And Deke wonders why I call him out for hating Romo as a player. He calls him out whenever he plays bad, but doesn’t say a word when he plays well. Only criticism and nothing else. Thats hating in my book.
Take a page out of Grizz’s book, he’ll criticize a player when appropriate, but he’ll also praise a player when deserved as well.
In Romo we Trust
Every QB has bad games.
Brees does. The Mannings do.
Hey, at least we’re not Packer fans. They went 13-3 last year like us and can’t pull wins off at home anymore. Eliminated!

agreed.
Romo had a bad game, but we still have the 6th spot. How does that get lost in all of this?
"If you see me up in the mountains with a lion, I ain't lyin
don't help me, help the mountain lion"
haha ESPN poll asking Will the Cowboys make the playoffs?
The answer was a resounding NO, even though we’re in right now haha. go figure…

Terry
you never think Romo will have a bad game.
not true at all
I said he had a very bad game Sunday and he’s some in the past and he’ll have some in the future.
No qb is perfect.
In Romo we Trust
I mean
going into the game. Not afterwards, but before.
why in the hell would I think
Romo would have a bad game going into a game? That makes no sense whatsoever.
In Romo we Trust
Cause
it’s called being realistic. Thinking he will play lights out constantly means you have tunnel vision. But I know you love your QB so I understand, but it just seems naive. When your facing the #1 D or a great D for that matter, it’s ok to think he won’t drop 300 n 3 td’s.
I never said he would
I thought going into the game Romo would have a tough time getting 300 yds and 3 or 4 TDs.
I was hoping for 250 yds and 1 or 2 TDs.
IMO, that isn’t a bad game at all against the #1 defense in the league.
In Romo we Trust
You are sort of right
Romo has never had two bad games in a row statistically. But the Cowboys have lost two in a row with him as starter (last two games in 2006, last three if you count the Seattle game), and both were at home. He flat-out sucked in the Christmas Day loss to the Eagles, and while he had a high passer rating against the Lions the next week, he still threw an interception and fumbled four times, losing two.
But here’s hoping he has a great game against the Giants. And here’s a game plan: hand it off to Tashard Choice 25 times and throw to him another 5 times. Freedom of Choice!!
haha +1
I’m definitely Pro-Choice after this game…even more so than I was before, that is…

Im still confident well make the playoffs
We have two games in sunny Texas Stadium against what seems a very beatable Giants team (now they’re without Plaxico) and a ravens team who is behind the Steelers in the AGC North. I think @ Philly will be the biggest test but they might be out of it by hten.
It'd be nice to close out Texas Stadium with a coupla big wins
against a coupla big time teams.
