Ofcourse he was held all night by BOTH OT's... It was rediculous.. I can't believe it wasn't called more.. I sometimes thinks Wade has the T's to block that way because isn't it wierd that Adams and this tool both lead the league with holds and shit?

Totally stupid... Orakpo should of had atleast 2 sacks tonight

Cowpukes are one of the "top dogs" in the NFL hierarchy. Refs are biased in favor of them.

But will AH stay on board long enough. He looked ready to blow a few times, and looked pissed at the end of the game. I just don't know if he will be on board for this thing for the long haul. He could turn into a bigger problem.

carter looks way too slow to be playing lb though imo. haynesworth didnt play well. doughty didnt play well. havent noticed any of our down linemen besides haynesworth who didnt play well as i said, but i guess in the 34 you dont notice linemen as much.

thought landry was very good, so were hall and rogers except for his hands of stone at the end. fletcher and rocky were solid i thought. the o-line was very good and moss and cooley did their parts for the most part. portis tried hard but we still need more from the running game, must say his blocking was crucial though. anthony armstrong was disappointing.

Let's also remember guys Dallas has a very good D. Yeah our offense needs work of course, but Dallas had something to do with our struggles too.

Yeah I'll worry more about our o if we're not scoring points 3 weeks from now.

I still think he doesn't fit this scheme, actually a lot of players don't. Even still, I think he's a better player than Kemo, Golston, or Carriker. AH needs to play well, so does the team. I say let's make him a starter and let him play.

Agreed, it just struck me how McNabb was able to make things happen when the roof was caving in. He obviously is not the complete answer for success, but I sure as hell like what he can do over his predecessor.

Well, we're going against another good defense in the Texans, so we better step up. I think we'll need to pass and take advantage of the Texans secondary if we are to win this game. Also, our run game needs to be better.

Things will improve when Kareem Moore returns.

[artmonkforhallofamein07]

#5 once he gets this thing down is going to be great. We get him that running game, and he has some more time with the WRs and he will dominate at times. Please do not say he is the problem. Hell he is the solution.

I agree ... it was definitely more COWBOYS LOSE than REDSKINS WIN... but...

don't forget people....

Game would have been won fair and square if CARLOS ROGERS COULD CATCH!!

Does he need contacts?? Seriously!

On the replay the ball hit his wrist!! It didn't even hit his hands??

So yes... we got lucky on the two plays at the end of the halves... but a cornerback has to catch that INT and the game is over.

also...

As soon as we can pass the ball well... and run the ball well... we'll have a good offense! lol
