Absolutely. Watching that game was a damn good use of a Monday night.

Too bad...I really wanted to see the Bill's complete the upset...

The city of Buffalo is cursed. I've never EVER seen a city lose in such painful ways without winning a championship.

Pagal4321 · 10-08-2007, 10:03 PM

Seriously? No press coverage on the last play? Really?

Couldn't beleive that at all, that was wayyyy to easy for the Cowboys to get 5 yards and walk out of bounds

I was surprised too, easy 5 yards. Maybe everything was happening so fast, the Bills were in shock.
Or the defense was gassed!

They need to change that timeout rule. Look what gutless Shanahan has created. I wonder how many timeouts he used in yesterdays 41-3 loss

KTown · 10-08-2007, 10:06 PM

Those bill fans at the end of the game is exactly how I feel every sunday being a dolphin fan.

Not sure it was that bad of a performance. They didn't allow an offensive touchdown and Romo wouldn't be as rattled at home next week then in Buffalo. And Buffalo really showed up to play, this was like their Super Bowl!

And a little adversity never hurts, this could hep Romo and the Cowboys in the long run to pull one out like this.

Agreed that Buffalo must be cursed. Which is unfortunate because they have great fans!

A wins a win but it still shows the seperation from the 5-0 teams, right now Indy and the Pats are in a league of there own

ben voyonsdonc · 10-08-2007, 10:27 PM

It definitely wasn't a stellar performance by the Boys...hopefully, it will be a humbling experience...better to be humbled now and win than be humbled against the Pats.

Romo definitely struggled with his reads...he wasn't helped out by his receivers (particularly Owens). However, Romo continues to show his ability to deal with adversity and pressure. Even in a 5 INT game, he still looks like a franchise quarterback to me.

I hate the rule and I'm not a Shanahan fan. But he was only taking advantage of the situation. I wouldn't say the call was gutless.

Yes it's a bush rule, but coaches will create whatever advantage they can even if it's a perceived advantage.

As a longtime Cowboys fan all I could think of watching that game was "What's the betting line"?. I had that feeling that a lot of cash was made on that game. Romo was tossing them right to defenders. If I was the NFL I'd be checking to see if there was some heavy cash moved on that game. Take Buffalo and the points and presto.

The inexplicable these days now makes me just outright wonder if it's just an unusual happening or if there is some funny business involved.

Probably just a bad game by Romo and a heavy, heavy dose of luck which could still couldn't carry the Bills to victory but still a very weird game!!!

Bobblehead · 10-09-2007, 11:29 AM

I think it was just Romo too excited about being on MNF.

I'm still in shock Buffalo didn't win that game. Really, they only made one mistake (the interception), but it was enough to cost them the game. Romo made 6 major mistakes and yet still won.

How tough can it be for Buffalo to lose 2 of their first 5 games on dramatic last second field-goals.

Just a crazy game.

Dallas fans should be worried about what the Pats are going to throw at Romo next week. I can picture the Pats secondary looking to be very opportunistic.

ken0042 · 10-09-2007, 11:40 AM

The bottom line is that in the NFL you aren't going to win many games if your offense only scores 3 points. Heck- if the offense had been able to put up 6 points they would have won.

I'm not worried about what they will throw at Romo defensively other than the fact they are a very good team. In fact I'm glad they got the stinker out of their system. Even the play calling was very weird in that game. They have been using a very balanced attack and challenging teams deep and running a lot and there seemed to a very limited attack going on. Short outs and down the middle for the most part. I kept waiting for them to pound the ball or toss one down field. Heck I don't think actually tried that till the fourth quarter.

That they hung in there and won a game where they didn't seem interested for long periods, gave away all the points the other team got and seemingly tossed out the playbook is testament to their will to win --well unless they all had money on the Bills to cover the spread LOL!!!

No kidding -- I found it hilarious how the color guy was going on and on about the Bills rookie QB. Meanwhile their offense didn't do a dang thing all game.

troutman · 10-09-2007, 12:59 PM

NE are early 4 1/2 point favorites at DAL. Take the Pats minus the points. A dose of reality is coming for the boys.

Sylvanfan · 10-09-2007, 01:18 PM

I would think that by the end of the week that should increase to more like a 6.5 spread.

Not so fast. Dallas gets up for big games at Texas Stadium. 9-0 Indy went there last year and lost by 7!

Agreed. To single Shanahan out is rediculous. The exact same thing happens week after week all through the NFL schedule.
