How do you let Jason Witten, arguably the best TE in the NFL, to get that wide open and outrun your defense for a 59 TD?

Yes, Gano definitely should have made that 49 yard FG. 49 yards out is within the range of every place kicker in the NFL. But it was the defense who couldn't defend after the offense did its part against Dallas.

Unbelievable....excuses for THE WORST KICKER IN THE NFL!!!!

how can this keep happening. Romo is a good QB. Our D held him in check for the most part of the day. They scored that early TD and they had several possessions where they didn't do anything. You can't keep him under wraps all game. Fact is Gano missed two field goals that would have won the game. TWO FIELD GOALS. Yes, one was 52 but the other was 40something... That should be virtually automatic for NFL kickers if they are halfway decent.
