I do not have a good feeling after this game. This is a troubling result. Can't help but to think Dallas may have had some things exposed tonight. Hope I'm wrong

Yes they did. Basically everyone involved in the organization that doesn't wear a jersey is awful at what they do.

I can't wait to hear that crazy Cowboy fan call into Dan Patrick's show tomorrow morning. The ginger and grandpa struck tonight.

Passing 3 times in a row in obvious run situations/strengths with the game on the line reminds me of a certain superbowl ending...

This was just a bad loss in every sense of the word for Dallas. The thing on the field that bothers me is the bad tackling and the O-Line doing their worst job of protecting the quarterback all season. A lot of this goes on the coaches as well. Romo should have not been back in. It was clear he wasn't 100%. Weeden led two scoring drives. Whoever made the call to put him in is a royal idiot. Should have kept Romo in the locker room. Weeden did a great job in his two drives. Also, the second down call in overtime was the worst of the season. This was a bad all around loss that falls on everyone's shoulders. They better stop reading the positive press and buckle back down for a good Cardinals team next week. If they aren't careful, this thing can spiral out of control.
All that said, credit to the Redskins and Colt McCoy. They played a solid game.

And to add injury to insult, looks like Justin Durant is out for the season.

Romo says he had to take a shot to get back in the game. Makes me wonder even more why he was put back in. With his back injury history, he's one hit in the back away from possibly having to have surgery again. Every time he takes a hit, I cringe.

Can't believe the Cowboys would risk Romo, this is crazy! No control in Dallas

Couldn't pass protect all night, but still decided to throw the ball repeatedly with a QB that was knocked out of the game. Even throwing on 2nd and goal with Weeden was stupid. Murray couldn't be stopped, like he hasn't all season. Why throw the ball? Teams have been expecting run all year and haven't stopped Murray.
In the end it's just one loss, they happen. The Packers just go blown out. The Chargers gave up almost 30 to the Raiders. Bad games happen to every team. No reason to panic. Really didn't need Dr. Jerry in the locker room and on the field. For someone to say "this is what happens when you rely on romo!" is just insanely stupid, almost like you didn't watch the game. 16 GW drives in 4th/OT the last 4 years, which leads the league. But yes, relying on a QB that shouldn't be in the game, while repeatedly throwing vs. running is stupid. They didn't have to rely on him, but for some reason tried when it made no sense at all to. Again, it happens. Washington will still be below .500, they just won their Super Bowl. Congrats.
Like i said during the game. Dallas is fundamentally flawed anf it has nothing to do with the players.

Meh, whatever. They've been running the ball a ton this year. They got away from it, and they shouldn't have. A lot of teams do it from time to time. If it continues, I'll be worried. I think they will go back to getting Murray 30+.

Romo is 6th active in the NFL, he's just above halfway to Peyton's career total. He has 1 more GWD than Ryan despite him never having a trainwreck team like Ryan has the last 2 seasons, and Ryan having almost a season worth less starts.
Romo is a fine QB, but even a stat like 4th quarter comebacks and game winning drives doesn't mean someone is great when relied upon. Romo is a tale of 2 QBs all too often. He can be dazzling and highly effective, or he can look like ****. He's seemingly modelled himself after Brett Favre, but without the talent Favre has. He's a fine QB but don't go overrating him.
