how about the guy Romo targeted in the 3rd row of the stands at the end of the game for the grounding call?...
Posted by RomoFan @ 4:46 PM Tue, Jan 15, 2008
hey rentzel...how about reading the fact that the NFL has informed the Cowboys that the intentional grounding call was a blown call. Romo was not under "duress" therefore it should not have been called. Again, this is per the league office. Read up on your facts before bashing Romo

It's always nice to see the refs come together and get the call right. Nice job by the zebras for once.

I think the refs were for the giants

RomoFan,
I hope that news make the loss feel a little better because its meaningless now. Oh, tell Columbo to stop moving early every snap.hahhaha Enjoy the offseason

Romo throws 16 - 32 for 200 yards....if the Boys remembered how to catch, his numbers increase to 21-32 for almost 300 and three td's...if crayton catches the crossing pattern he dropped he goes 65 yards for a TD and Fasano's drop in the end zone was a killer. For the idiots that want to pin this game on Romo, go back to watching HS ball - while Romo was just average, look at Jacques Reeves (who I volunteer to drive out of town and dump in the Gulf personally, he's AWFUL and has been all year), the offensive line, the STUPID penalties and the fact that the defense and special teams were BRUTAL with their tackling skills.

Fundamentals! They have to get off on the snap count and the center had better deliver more than a "flop ball". Tackling is taught from grade school, maybe the "Boys" had better spend more time on the fundamentals so as to be competative. Oh, and if you are on this site and your a Gnat fan, go some place else or atleast get a life. What happened to the intentional grounding that should have been called on Manning?
Posted by T @ 10:16 PM Tue, Jan 15, 2008
MomoFan, you better post a link to that, because that is news to pretty much everybody. I don't want to get into a pissing match with you, but I haven't heard or seen anything like that from any source.
And, you can defend Romo with a goofy response like that, but the bottom line is that it was a dumb, dumb move on Romo's part, "duress" or no.

I'll never understand why didn't they throw to Witten more. Apparently they didn't even have him running a route on the last play which is shameful. No way that ball should have gone to a rusty Terry Glenn who shouldn't have even been on the field in that situation.

This game was Garrett's worst coaching of the year. Why go for the whole distance at the end? Why not do a screen pass and run out of bounds and still have 8 seconds for a closer shot at the endzone?
The defense letdown for 47 seconds right before the half killed the Cowboys. The number of missed tackles in this game was sickening.
And the potentially touchdown drops by Crayton and Posano and missed pass by Tony to TO cost us 21 points and the game.
