I wish Romo would realize that turnovers are one of the most important stats in the league. He cost the Cowboys 14 points against the Eagles with his dumbness.

I hate to say it's something we're gonna have to live with, but .... yeah, I think it's something we're just gonna have to live with.

Another big play by Pac Man. He's saving this defense.

Romo is a gun slinger. You gotta take stupid interceptions if you want the amazing throws he makes for us. I've come to live with it. Especially after seeing Drew Bledsoe and Henson play quarterback for us.

The start of this game has been a lot more boring than I would have imagined, especially after last week. Maybe that game just set the bar too high.

I expected it. It wouldn't shock me if we lost. They put a lot into that Monday night game and the fact that its a short week and they're playing in Green Bay? The odds should be against them.

Dtown.... Caron Butler claims that Romo kicked his behind in high school. Butler even thought Romo would be the one going to the NBA.

Well. Good news is that there's no penalty's. Bad news I guess is that there's no one open because Romo isn't letting them go.

Wow. Has McBriar just seemed a little off so far this year?

Really? I never knew. I remember when he was backing up Vinny and Q you always heard about him playing golf. But I never heard about him playing basketball.

That's my first time ever seeing him have a poor punt. Has he been bad this year?

Not bad, I just don't remember seeing as many super-amazing 60+ yard booms this year. For McBriar, I guess that's a little off.

Jesus why can't we get any sacks? I thought it was just McNabb. We're not sacking at all and we're getting there. I know Rodgers is somewhat mobile but Ellis went untouched.

Is it just me or does it seem like we've had trouble actually tackling the quarterback this year. Maybe it's just because we've played against two good scramblers, but I feel like we should have more sacks but can't make the tackle.

No penalty's thus far. About 5 flags were thrown. I'm guessing these are our first.

I'd like to think its because of the quarterbacks. But I seem to remember us not getting to Anderson as much as we should've. Its not one guy either. Ellis and Ware should have about 10 sacks together. They're not finishing

I don't have a link to it per se. But it was on the Fox Report last year during the Mavs game. The Mavs were playing Washington and they were talking with Caron Butler and he said what I typed about Romo.
Who was the Cowboysr kick/punt returner last year?

I really think Pacman is going to bust a punt return for a touchdown before the year is over.

Miles Austin was on kicks and Crayton returned most punts.

It sure is frustrating to watch because they seem to miss on plays that the quarterback ends up converting for a first down.

I can't believe Felix turned that corner on that one guy. The Packer had the angle, but Felix killed him on that cut.

FEEEEEEELLLLLIX
I just screamed and cheered before realizing that my roommates are all asleep, as it's 2:30 in the morning. Haha. xP
EDIT: Also great job getting downfield and blocking. Who was that? My picture isn't clear enough to really tell numbers.

Thanks, Fin. I thought Crayton was but I couldn't remember.
Felix Jones is a nice change of pace back.

Felix's trying to get in contention for rookie of the year. Through 3 games he's definately up there with Desean Jackson.

And that's why they gotta get him more involved in the offense (which to their credit they've been doing tonight).

So that's a touchdown in every game for Felix. Gosh is he explosive!

OK, good field position. Let's not waste it this time. Ware is such a beast. What was the nickname for Ware again? I think my buddies called him Cougar because of how low he could get, like a cougar ready to pounce. I don't remember if we made it up or if it was already established.

The defensive pursuit is a lot better tonight. They have missed a couple of gimmes but it isn't just about the points. Last game, they never made Philly get off the field via a punt in the first half.

Hey they haven't allowed a touchdown yet, which is an improvement in my book.
