It's a shame that Romo is going to get most of the blame for this game.

Exactly. He's already getting bashed here. I guess it is his fault that 3 of 4 defensive linemen are in his face on every single play. He should learn how to block them better.

Or that we can't make kicks. Or our secondary can't cover anyone.

Like you said though, the biggest problem was that he had absolutely no time to throw. But he's Tony Romo so it's all his fault no matter what.

so the monkey is off their back cause they won a playoff game last week? Whatever. Dallas needs a new system, kicker and the defense must have stayed in Dallas. Where are they this game?

I agree the OL is terrible today. Maybe Romo should just throw the ball at their facemask to get them to stop coming at him. Just like EVERY season, time to play golf.

This just sucks

:(

I thought Pete Carroll was the coach in Seattle, not Minnesota. Pretty classless move by the Vikes.

Jerry Jones PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE fire Wade Phillips, cut that kicker, address the OL and the secondary. This was aweful to watch.

Will this mean Wade Phillips is finally out?

Probably and I bet Jones is pissed that Shannahan already went to Washington and Cower is waiting for the Giants job to open. John Gruden possibly?

Eh, it is classless, but unfortunately that seemed to be the norm in the NFL this year.
I've never seen a year with as many "run up the score games" as I've seen this year.
I see it as a sad commentary on sportsmanship in today's sports society.
Congrats to the Vikings they played a great game.
Now if only Jones would fire Wade Phillips.

What a game! It's nice to not have to go through a bottle of Rolaids for once ;)

Congrats to the Vikings and good luck to both NFC teams next week.

I have no problems with Wade, but I do have issues w/ the OL, Garrett, and the kicker. The OL easily had their worst game of the year. Garrett did not have a good game plan and got out coached. Why was Bennett playing after Philips did so well during the winning streak.

It was on the Cowboys defense to stop that last TD. That's the point of the game.

Classless? So the Vikings should stop playing so that they don't run up the score and make the Cowboys feel better?

Exactly, what's the difference had they kicked the field goal? It's not like the Cowgirls were even in the game at that point. They had every opportunity to stop them and have the ball turned over on downs. Would a 30-3 score have made you feel better? I can only imagine if it had been the other way around. Still it's a wonderful day now that the 'Girls can go home till the new season starts.

There was 2 minutes left, 4th and 3 and the outcome was not in question.
Why not just kick the FG?
I guess it's just 2 different philosophies as it pertains to sportsmanship.
I liken it to trash talking, I'm obviously not a big fan of that either.
Another example is when a team is getting romped and one of their defensive players happens to sack the winning teams QB and proceeds to pose in the hercules pose.
Dude, you're down by 28 points and you finally sacked the QB. BIG DEAL.
Years ago there were some unwritten rules to sports that just don't apply nowadays.
Just saying.
David
EDIT: And if the tables were turned I would definately feel the same way.
It's called respect.

I understand what your saying and they did it on the last 2 drives the first one they were stopped when they could have gotten 3 so if they went for 3 both times its 6 points since they were stopped the first time they could have been stopped the second time 7 points is only 1 more than 6 either way its points I see nothing wrong with it

There is relatively little sportsmanship left in the game in case you haven't noticed. Everytime a player makes a play they start strutting around like idiots and barking, is that sportsmanship? Everytime the QB gets sacked the opposing player starts dancing around and barking, is that sportsmanship? The outcome of the game wasn't in question after the second quarter, should they have just not came out and played the second half or let their bench players come into the game for the sake of sportsmanship and give the Cowgirls a chance? Where's the sportsmanship when the Lions and Rams are losing every game by 40+ points? You play to win and if the other team doesn't like it then it's up to them to step up and stop you.
