You mean normal play by Romo.
Personal Foul, first down. Pacman back to his tricks again.
You mean normal play by Romo.
Just heard this stat..Romo is 0-2 so far in the playoffs and 5-7 in December. Dumbass penalty from PacMan...
You can see the girls fighting on the sideline, it is a great sight to see.
And a PI too..First and goal on the one..What a meltdown so far..This is great Schadenfreude....
Jerry Jones looked like he was going to fall on his sword..That's going to be a fun locker room at the half..
The look on Mangini's face reminds me of how Joe Walton used to look when he was the Jets coach. Just that blank stare...Favre looks like doesn't give a s**t..With any luck,this will be his last game in the NFL...

Yeah... that made me giggle. Wade Phillips looks like he's just seen the worst quarter of football ever and it has to be a nightmare.
i wonder why the cowboys are always picked to get to the super bowl every year and yet they are choke artists. they have yet to win a big game with romo and company. the media hype around the cowboys is probably the worst in sports.
The Steelers got where they did on a great defense building what may be another Steel Curtain. Whether they use Ben or Byron, the Steelers are still a good team that can still pose a threat either way. If Ben's injury was really a concussion, then they should rest him for the remainder and try and save his career. A mostly defensive team can win a ring and the Ravens and Bucs have shown us that.
Both Steve Young and Troy Aikman had concussions that lay them flat like that and were rested/rehabilitated and both picked up ring(s) post-concussion in later seasons and were prudently allowed to heal and play for glory while healthy. If Young had played on in the early 90s and got hit with another concussion that same season, his agent (same as Aikman's) pretty much said it would be over for his football playing days, and the same with Aikman actually. A concussion is a very serious injury and should be treated as such.
Even if the Steelers didn't have a strong backup, Byron has a higher passer rating than Ben anyway, they could still be a threat through the AFC playoffs.
Let's hope Ben still has a career in the future. That was a wicked hit and a part of football and I don't think it was intentional to cause such an injury. At the end of the day, it's still a game, and defenders have to realize that sometimes they take away a player's livelihood, and sometimes their health. I had a car accident and a medium concussion and much of my memory of the previous 29 years or so was wiped out and fifteen years later, only some of it is coming back but it will never be the same.
When Jerry Rice took a wicked hit with the Raiders, I know it was all over for him, and his brave attempt to come back with the Seahawks and Broncos did not work as many of us Rice fans had hoped. He was not the same anymore and that was sad to see.
Romo can never show up for the Cowgirls in a big game. I love it!
It's all Jessica Simpson's fault!

Kind of reminds me of Jim Kelly of the Bills, with a high passer rating in his prime, but unable to pull off the big win. He's also like John Elway in his first three Super Bowls, where he lost and "choked" big time when it counted most.
Romo may end up being a guy with a long career, rating in the high 80s/low 90s, and no rings. He may have a good win-loss record in the end but end up like Kelly, Tarkenton, or Dan Marino (but Marino was better than any QB who ever played the game) and Romo would have to be above 90 for another eight years, which I doubt he will do with Dallas. I was hoping to see this year be a big one for them.
The Falcons go 11-5 and will play Arizona... a winnable game for them
They didn't play their best, and the Rams played hard, but a win is a win
They were a last second field goal by Carolina from winning the division and being the #2 seed in the NFC
Drew Brees ends up 16 yards short of Marino's record in the Saints loss
He has an easy throw for the record on the last play, but threw short
Romo fumbles for yet another Cowboy miscue 34-3
Woof, Woof - Dawg

You put way too much emphasis on stats. His rating is higher because he has far fewer attempts/completions. His numbers before his four games this year are less than stellar. Not to menton the lack of big game experience. He's a journeyman QB at best..

He has proven his is not a "winner"... the intangibles
The Cowboys are officially a circus today... PacMan fits right in as a clown

Talk about taking the gas pipe.Romo and the Boys do it again in a big game. Imploding on national tv...
Barber gets in on the fun... another fumble for TD
41-3
They should just forfeit the rest of the game to avoid any more embarrassment
They make the 0-16 Lions feel better at least
