    You got to be kidding me. I just read on the Chron that they Cowboys came back and won. I thought for sure that game was lost. Amazing.

    Sorry dude I had to break out the insults. I've noticed you knock UT a lot so I had to fire back.

    I gave the same love to A&M. But for you I will add Louisville and Michigan. The truth is this year that both A&M and UT have both been shown to be completely overrated. And yes I am a A&M tee shirt fan.

    What is the combined record for the teams the Pats have played? 7-18

    I guess the Pats are overated as well.

    yep but that's the kind of thing that tends to happen to bad bad teams.

    That onsight kick still kills me, did the bills even have their hands team on the field, seemed like they were set up for a standard kick off because there was no one over there

    Oh, so you DON'T give credit...I see. Looking forward to the excuses next week as well.

    Can the Pats score two TD's off interceptions and provide a special teams score, because the D held the Bills offense to 3 points. Romo had a bad night, but the Cowboys played well.

    Can the Pats find a way to overcome 7 turnovers by their QB if it happens?

    There is your answer! It does not happen. In the 5 plus years now when has Brady thrown 5 int's and had a 6th dropped in a game? Especially against a bottom deweller on MNF.

    That is not an answer. The question is can the Pats overcome 6 turnovers in a game?

    They beat the Bills by 31 points this year.

    Take away a crappy game by Romo and the Boys could have beaten the Bills by 31 as well.

    That Bills D was pumped for this game. Did you see and hear that crowd? That D did an incredible job and they kept the momentum going, but do you really think that Romo is going to stay rattled. Hell, in the same game, he recovered and led the last drives for the win.
    The Dallas win falls on the Team. The score falls on Romo.

    My prediction:

    The Patriots will not win next Monday.

    The Cowboys will also not win next Monday.

    And I predict that they will continue to not teach people how to read or understand calendars at SFA.
    j/k

    But seriously, you really ought to try to not look like a complete fool while at the same time calling out other schools.

    In case this all went over your head, they play Sunday, not Monday.

    :)

    OK. I understand. You don't want to say that the Pats wouldn't have been able to overcome that adversity. You should work for ESPN.

    Come on, man... This is ridiculous.

    Yes, the Bills defense was pumped for this game, but not the game against the Patriots. They were all asleep on the sidelines when the offense was out there... Yeah, I remember now...

    I couldn't figure out what the Bills were doing on that onside kick. Their front players all had their heads down and were looking to block the Cowboys. I guess their strategy was, instead of getting a read on the ball and trying to catch it, was to block every single Cowboy trying to get a hand on it and let the ball go out of bounds. It's no wonder the Bills have lost 2 games this season due to onside kicks. Somebody has to make a play for the ball. If you don't, then you give the other team the chance to get their hands on it and you see the results of that.

    I also can't figure what the Bills were doing on defense that last drive by the Cowboys after the onside kick. They know we have to throw for the sidelines. Yet, Patrick Crayton is wide open with no defender even near him for five or ten yards. It's like they were trying to prevent a big play when they needed to protect against the short sideline passes. I can understand Barber getting loose for one of those catches but Crayton being as open as he was for the catch right before the field goal...good luck.

    I'm actually glad this game went the way it did. All of the same hype that went on last season about how good we are came crashing back down. This is a wake-up call. This team appears to be the same inconsistent team from last season. There's no way the Cowboys are in the top echelon of teams like NE and IND. They may not be that far away but the consistency isn't there. Granted, this could be a fluke game as Romo had an off-night but somehow managed to still make enough plays to win the game. There was really only one real forced INT by the Bills last night that wasn't a gift from Romo throwing it straight to the Bills player. The Bills had a few others that they almost picked off where the coverage did a good job but Romo throwing balls straight to their players was like Santa Clause handing out gifts. It was almost as if Romo was color blind most of the night. I think the crowd definitely got to Romo. He was flustered in the first half.

    I don't think the Cowboys overlooked this game in the least looking forward to next week's game. The simple fact is most of the bad was because of Romo's picks and fumble. That...and TO was a no-show who dropped several significant game-impacting potential catches. The fact that we still won the game after all that is a miracle. The Cowboys defense certainly wasn't the problem this game...unlike a lot of last season where they were one of the main reasons we struggled down the stretch and limped into the playoffs.

    The Cowboys better be ready next Sunday to play NE...or they could be embarrassed badly. I would much rather have a crappy game like this and have to play well against NE...than just win this game by blowout and roll into the NE game on a super high because that would have set up a Cowboys implosion for sure. We are back down to Earth now. This was a wake-up call. No excuses next week either way.
