Week 8 Game Thread

[Van Everyman]

McCoy has acquitted himself nicely in this game. Not perfect but pretty clutch and some nice reads and throws.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

He's gonna shank it.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Fake it

 

[lars10]

Romo is one tough sob

Yes but no… Dallas scores twice without him in the game so he forces himself back in so he can have a ridiculously awful series of downs because he's clearly hurt.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

I want whatever drugs Romo got in the locker room.

yeah honestly i'd be more inclined to bring weeden out now but jerruh ain't havin it

 

[Bergs]

This is gonna be a 26-17 final score, right?

 

[fiskful of dollars]

Weak 3rd down call. Gotta get to the sticks.

 

[Ralphwiggum]

Romo FTW on this drive?

Either that or he leaves pieces of his spine on the field.

 

[Freddy Linn]

Whatever the result and postgame narrative is, it won't give Washington enough credit for playing hard.  This was a really solid performance regardless of outcome.

 

[Tony C]

great game. this last drive should be fun with Washington blitzing like crazy still, I assume

 

[Deathofthebambino]

If Dallas doesn't start picking up the blitz, this series won't last very long, and neither will Romo's life.

 

[ifmanis5]

Does Romo have one more Romo left in him tonight?

 

[nothumb]

Dez has been the guy for the Cowboys in the clutch. Feel like he's going to make a play and win it for Dallas.

 
romo getting baited into a pick trying to hit bryant and kerrigan drops back on a zone blitz

 

[DanoooME]

So how does Count Chokeula lose this one?

 

[Ed Hillel]

Romo's back gave out a bit on thay handoff.

 

[dcmissle]

He should start in 6 days, take the bye week, then give the ball to RGIII after that. But that would be smart

 

[lars10]

Gruden..is it really four down territory?

 

[Ed Hillel]

Are they gonna throw to Dez or what?

 

[Ralphwiggum]

Here we go.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Why would Romo have not thrown that out to Dez in the flat?  He had a first down easy there.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Talk about getting too cute. Get the 3 yards.

 

[lars10]

Romo should never have come back into this game

 

[RIrooter09]

LOL, Romo had no idea

 

[E5 Yaz]

Gruden..is it really four down territory?

 
lol

 

[nothumb]

looks like this will be one of those not with a bang but with a whimper type romo losses.

 

[shawnrbu]

Would have handed off to Murray on 2nd or 3rd Down or both.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Romo may be high on Vicodin.

 

[Bergs]

4 down territory, 3rd and 3, crippled QB, best RB in the NFL. Clearly a passing situation.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Does Dallas really think that Murray can't get 10 yards on 4 carries at a time?  8 yards on first down and they don't run again.  So dumb.

 

[cshea]

They get 8 in the ground on first time and then decide to air it out with a clearly injured QB the next 2 downs.

 

[Ralphwiggum]

Romo.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Haha

 

[RIrooter09]

Suck it Jerry.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

Weeden Weeps

Next 3.

 

[canderson]

Dallas should've never let Romo back in. That L is on the coaches/Jones.

 

[ypioca]

Cowboys have turned into a pumpkin.

 

[DanoooME]

Romo just panicked when he got the snap.  There were only 5 rushers.

 

[Bergs]

That was certainly Romoriffic.

 

[Freddy Linn]

Breeland was fantastic.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Romo had a receiver deep over the top on the last play.  Not sure he could have thrown it far enough, but the receiver (probably Williams) had his guy beat by about 7 yards.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Murray steamrolls for 7 easy yards so they instead let Romo carry the team on his broken back. Just unbelievably poor coaching from a team that has won all their games by pounding it on the ground, lol. This is going to be a fun 2nd half.

 

[Stitch01]

That is a hilariously bad loss

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

Would have handed off to Murray on 2nd or 3rd Down or both.

2nd, 3rd, and 4th.
 
Dumbasses

 

[dcmissle]

At 3 and 5 and a game at Minnesota coming up ... The talk about playoffs will start here tomorrow

 

[E5 Yaz]

I wonder if we'll find out who really made the call to put him back in the game

 

[Ralphwiggum]

This is why you take division wins no matter what.

 

[Greg29fan]

Dallas coaching staff did an absolutely horrific job all night (including that decision to not stick with a healthy quarterback, although that was probably Jerrah meddling), particularly Linehan.  One screen pass against all out blitz after all out blitz, and that was with Weeden in the game.
