I love Beltre and the prospect of Odor. Thought Profar would be fine, but he has to hit. There's a loooong way to go.

Romo didn't beat the Rams.

The dropped TD did. Far different game for Davis the #4 qb 6 weeks ago. He made a bad throw/decision in the last minute of his 2nd start after having a 300 + yard, 3 td day in a 3 point game. Bad officiating also impacted the final score.

the guy grabbed Williams as he was trying to get out in the pattern and that's why Romo couldn't throw it. Easy call. Replays in slow motion and other angles can be deceiving.

Romo led the team back and led them on the go ahead drive. Evry QB in the league gets a comeback win for that.

Loved how the TE punched his QB. Nice.

Sims didn't strike Romos head, on the Williams play Moose and Siragusa said there shouldn't have been a flag from what I heard during the broadcast and a number of Cowboy fans sitting close by me said the same thing.

mosse ad tony don't like the rule, it's the rule. Sims hit him in the head, bearely, but he did. It's the rule and I've seen it called a ton. Don't agree with the rule, but it's the rule. People booed when Beasley was tackled in the endzone instead of giving up the TD pass, they didn't think it was interference. Just because they boo doesn't make it right.

Rules says " hit the passer forcibly " see page 8

It wasn't a violation.

I've seen it called 100 times.

Gotta agree with Kent on this one. In today's wimpy NFL, you're not allowed to hit the quarterback above the shoulders or below the waist.

Moving along now, who are the Cowboys playing this week. I haven't even checked yet?

Saints I think, Sun. night. Should be a breeze.

Ok I remember hearing it mentioned now. Hope it goes better than last year....

Looks like they will be playing without Mo Claiborne. Unless the owner tells the GM to play him.

I thought they were still playing him, just not starting him. Did something change?

He walked out of practice yesterday when he was told he was not starting Sunday.

Apparently he is back at practice today - no word on if there will be any disciplinary action.

it's a process.

Just like the game, he disappeared, then cam back to make the int. He's lucky it was such a bad pass, the receiver was open.

Garrett will have to look at the tape of him walking out.

18/23 for 217 yds..... that is a 9.4 average
2 td's and one pick

with a team focusing on a balanced attack..... he did all he could do.

If it's so easy, why doesn't Denver, or New England, or Seattle, or Green Bay, or San Francisco, or New Orleans, or ___________ win it every year. yeah, that's right, there are a lot of very good teams. Get in the tournament, that's all you need. One game away each season. At least it's within reach.

One playoff win in the last two decades. You've been making excuses for Jerry Jones for at least a decade. For thirty years, the Cowboys were one of the greatest teams in the history of sports. Now they are the definition of mediocrity, and have been for nearly 20 years.

If the GM weren't the owner, he would have been fired 15 years ago.

Does the NFL have a moral turpitude clause that covers either owners or GM' s?

I've seen far harder hits with no flag never seem one like that bogus one

NFL agrees that Rams DE Eugene Sims roughing-the-passer play against Dallas shouldn't have been a penalty: Sims wasn't fined. 1:41 PM - 26 Sep 2014

sucks, doesn't it. The same has happened to the Cowboys and every other NFL team... a lot. Call gets made, then the league says maybe it was wrong. Still doesn't change the outcome. YEs, the Cowboys and others have had the exact thing called against them - Ware, Spencer, Selvie, The go in with their hands up to block the pass or make it harder to throw and then hit the helmet or "head area" - flag.
