I think Kitna can get better (it'd be hard for him to be worse), but today is showing that the team has serious issues beyond just quarterback play.

I dont see any more than a win or two there, if that. The discussion with what they would do with a potential top 5 pick was interesting but you have to be careful what you say around Cowboy fans, they're a touchy bunch.

I haven't heard anything saying he won't. Why?

Why do people keep saying this? Why on earth would they do that? It makes absolutely no sense. Romo is fine...he's far from the problem.

Our offensive line may be the worst in the league and our secondary sucks. We have huge holes to fill.

There is nothing wrong with Romo's play...he has no one blocking for him, that's the problem.

[umphrey]

stupid refs just want to help put some points on the board

[scottyboy]

yea I don't see why Dallas wouldn't take a versatile guy like PP back there. injuries and just bad coverage all around in their secondary is hurting them. Romo being hurt isn't why MSW and Lewis are having their way with that D

I have no idea what Schottenheimer is thinking here.

Braylon Edwards with a big play, I thought he was going to drop that one, decent play on the major underthrow by Sanchez.

[V.I.P]

lol @ the refs saying Ricky Williams got in the endzone.

If you run a reverse, you may want to block someone.......

Cowboy fans not so touchy as demoralized now Babs.

When Romo went down the white flag went up. Seriously, it's over.

10-10 game in the UK, no turnovers yet announced just now, so they jinxed at least one team....

Denver should fake the run with Tebow in the wildcat & pass. McDaniels is not that smart is he?

Just me being curious. Dallas fans are fickle and there's going to be swarms of people comparing Andrew Luck to Troy Aikman if he comes out this year. I don't think the organization would take things that far (I imagine defensive line would make more sense at this point), but I also think that conversation would have to be had internally.

I think Romo is great, I'm not saying he should be replaced.

Orton's pass telegraphed & so sloooooowwww to Moreno. He's playing hurt

[M.O.T.H.]

Why do you keep overthrowing Hurd? Jesus. He's wide open.

Give England Tebow. It might sorta make up for the crap matchup they got.

Just in terms of the situation, the execution was absolutely awful but that's not the kind of play I'd want to run in this situation. And yet another holding in the run game.

Jets not winning any of these 50-50 balls, and that looked like a questionable call. Thought Keller was down by contact, C-Dub didn't look like he had possession, and just ripped it out after.

[PackerLegend]

lol no challenges left Y-E-S-S-S-S YES!!!!!!!

[LizardState]

Dallas gets its shot at Peterson @ #3 or 4 in the draft, let Buffalo, Carolina, & the 9ers maybe go for Mallett, Locker or whoever. Little chance for Luck to come out -- he's a RS soph, but turned 21 in Sept.

[Basileus777]

Flowers saves the day with a strip. KC recovers.

[LizardState]

Andre Goodman lost touch with reality & it's TD to Crabtree!

17-10 9ers. This defense will be tested to hold the lead .....

[steelernation77]

This Chiefs game should not be close. This is why you take the points and don't gamble on 4th down every freaking time.

I didn't think Luck would come out prior to this season, but I thought it'd be crowded at the top. That doesn't look like it will be the case. Locker is looking like a borderline 1st rounder, Mallett doesn't look much better, and no one else but Luck looks like a serious choice as a top 10 QB.

It'd obviously be the smart thing to come out early. I think the odds are much much higher than they were back in August.

[LizardState]

Note that when Troy Smith carries the ball in one hand, he doesn't drop it. Unlike the other Smith.

If Troy can carry the load dependably they can spend their early pick on a passrusher or safety

[Brodeur]

Amari Spuh-vay is just awful.

[SuperMcGee]

What a break. Don't waste it.

If they were to pass on Luck or Locker with a top 5 pick for Troy freaking Smith, then they deserve another decade of being bad.

[umphrey]

I'm shocked our defense has a shut out going against anybody, let alone a good power offense, through 53 minutes
