I've seen worse. Look up Eagles vs. Bengals 2008. Dallas scores a TD to get themselves back in the game. They have momentum. The crowd is back in it. First play of Baltimore's next drive, 80-yard TD run. And it happened twice. Twice. Absolutely pathetic. This team sucks. Blame the defense then. The offense did everything they could to win the game. This time the defense choked....again. While Romo hasn't been good in big game late 4th quarter situations this year, Dallas' defense were the real choke artists. They cost them the Steelers game by not trying AT ALL after that 4 & Goal goal line stop, and they allowed game winning TD runs in this game.

The dumbass should've gone with the onside kick the second time around. He saw what happened the first time, and he just twiddled his thumbs and said, "We'll get 'em this time!"
Fire the son of a bitch and bring in some competent coaching.

You know what the worst part is? I'm not phased one bit. I'm getting used to epic failures and late-season collapses from this team. I feel like a pre-2004 Red Sox fan. I don't like this feeling. Yeah, but the difference is the Red Sox still won playoff games. Dallas can't even do THAT right. That makes me feel even worse.

If Jerry Jones keeps Wade Phillips next year, I'll officially declare Jerry Jones the worse owner/GM in the NFL, yes even worse than Al Davis. Because Al is stuck in an era where the NFL played the way he wants to play, but Jerry Jones....wow...any other owner/GM would've fired Wade Phillips mid season!

I don't think this Dallas team has any chance at all against Philly. If they find a spark in 8 days, maybe, but Philly will feast on what was on display tonight, either to make the playoffs themselves or keep these guys home. They were able to find a spark against New York, of course it was a Plaxico and Jacobs-less New York, but still.... Nah, you're right, Brian Westbrook will run all over them.

Dallas' offense looked good when the Ravens switched from pressure to prevent. I don't know why anyone ever plays prevent defense, but the chunks of yard came against soft blitzes and Romo extended plays and found open receivers, something that typically happens when you have ~5 seconds in the pocket. The entire team is soft, to be blunt. Its a collection of mercenaries who play for themselves and can't handle pressure (save for Witten, who I'd take on any team everyday of the week and twice on Sundays). I'm not trying to trash talk or be mean, but its clear they're not a "team" and the GM has done a horrible job in putting it together. Add in Wade Phillips complete hands off approach and you get stupid penalties and stupid mental errors that cost teams games. This team is not good enough to overcome that. The reality may be last year was their shot and it may be gone now, who knows?

Even after Dallas defene gave up the TD to Pittsburgh to tie the game, it was Romo that choked it away with the Pick-6. Tonight it was an all-around failure. Everyone gets a piece of this s*** cake. Romo and the offense showed up for all of two drives tonight, and they were both in the second half of the 4th quarter. The defense plays great, then has two of the biggest brain farts I've ever seen. Collective effort tonight from the Dallas Cowboys.

Everyone, let's laugh at the Dallas Cowboys defense. John Harbaugh: "Do you find something funny about the idea of my Ravens making the playoffs?" Cowboys: "Yeah." John Harbaugh: "Everyone needs a team to root for, even those in small-markets. *turns Cowboys towards Raven locker room* Is my team therefore to be made the subject of overlooking?" Cowboys: "I guess so." / Ravens beat Cowboys John Harbaugh: "Hey, everybody! Look at this - it's the big-market team that laughs at everyone! Let's all laugh at them!" Everybody: "HA-HA!" Sorry $lim

Its all about momentum, to be frank. I'm worried about the Jints because they have none currently and seem to be rutterless, at least right now. Philly's on a streak and don't think a Cowboys team showing up, bleeding and limping, trying to make the playoffs in their house isn't going to make the game their Super Bowl this year. Add in the dislike for TO and, well you know the rest.....

Add in Wade Phillips complete hands off approach and you get stupid penalties and stupid mental errors that cost teams games. This team is not good enough to overcome that. The reality may be last year was their shot and it may be gone now, who knows? It is true. Dallas has the most talent of any team. But, and this is a HUGE but, most of these talented players are hot heads that think of only themselves. Aside from Romo, Witten, Felix Jones, Tashard Choice, and Marion Barber, most of the offense is like that. The defense....don't even get me started. D-Ware, as good as he is, is NOT playing like his position. He is a linebacker, yet he lines up on the defensive line! They may be talented, but they lack discipline. I wish the new coach(if there will be a new one....) will make this his first official statement to the locker room before their first training camp. "I want all of you....especially you TO, you Pacman, and both Roy Williamses, to take a step back, a nice deep breath, and pull your heads out of your asses. Ok?" Though you have to admit there were like...maybe 5 times this season they made plays like a team, such as TO giving up the catch and making a huge block instead.

Looks like someone popped Wade in the eye. I look at Wade Phillips during the press conference, and it looks like someone kicked him in the nuts and ran over his dog.

After how the team played this year, can you blame them? Wade was too soft of a coach, and thusly the team became soft. We need a badass coach that'll ride their asses non-stop. They got to experience the Era of Softy McSoft-Soft. Now they need to experience an era of ass kicking.

The problem was Parcells was given a team that in truth, actually did suck ass. Kinda a veiled shot at the local media. Yeah, he was given a team that sucked but, he was given the ability to make the team his. Most of the players that are here, are here thanks to Parcells. Look at the Dolphins now and how they have turned that around. Maybe the division is weak now but, they are still in it. Jerry's most successful eras are when he has someone who can tell him that "____________ is a bad idea, don't do it". Until he gets someone else like that, they will always be bad to just not good enough.

Wow. Just pathetic thats all I can say. A predicted Super Bowl contender and now it looks like they won't even make the playoffs. If Jerry had any sense left he would fire Wade Phillips the second after the Eagles game is over. He's just too soft and a cocky team like the cowboys need someone to light a fire under their asses and show no mercy.

[rant]Are snorking kidding me, there was a snorking game on tonight?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!? Boys and Ravens nontheless, snork me in the ass, this is out right bullpoop Not only do I not get to see it, but they loose, GTFO of here...
[/end rant]
I expected a loss in one of the last three but it was against the Eagles, but we simply lost today and will have to win next week instead. It's a great possibility either Tb will lose to SD or Atl will lose to MIN
idk if Dal can even win at PHI, I'd say PHI is no doubt the favorite. but maybe we can get lucky like Bal did tonight, we're not fxcked by any stretch of the imagination just yet

The Cowboys are still arguably the best team in the league, there would be no reason to fire the coach, it's not his fault the other team gets lucky
