To be honest, Steve, I don't think Romo is as good as folks think he is.

Romo is pretty good, he hasn't had the protection today that was needed

Yeah but when you are running for your life how can you tell? He's had a great year. Today i blame more on Garrett than anyone. he really put Romo in some bad spots. I can tell you this though, I am super excited about next year already

[white_s2k]

Vikings D-Line really showed up to play today. I hope they beat the Saints next week, I'd like to see Favre back in the SB.

I dunno what to think of Garret. He has called some great game the past 4-5 weeks.. and then pulls this cr*p. Regardless, we have a great team right now and have a lot of potential going into next year.

People forget it took Peyton manning 9 years to win a Superbowl. Romo is just getting started. We do have a need at Oline though. We need to get younger

Smack talk is somewhat expected when it comes to the NFL and fans. But if it turns personal, I'll Caputo the thread.

Being from MN and a Vikes fan, obviously I was pleased with the game.

Here's my assessment of the game in general.

The Vikes dominated on the D-line. That was where the game was won. The Cowboys O-line could not do a thing with the pressure that the Purple were bringing. It also hurt tremendously to lose Adams in the first half. That was obvious by what happened when Witten was supposed to block Allen 1 on 1. Edwards was the wild card. He was AWESOME until he got hurt. The attention that Allen was getting and the pressure coming up the middle from Williams and Williams was allowing him to have a monster game. Because of the play of the line, the weaknesses in the LBs and DBs weren't exposed. Honestly, I don't think that Garrett called a bad game. They were just dominated by the Vikes D-line, plain and simple. Maybe they could have kept another guy or 2 in to block, but that would obviously limit the number of receivers out in the pattern, causing another problem...get open, because there's very few of you out there. Maybe running a few more trick/gimmick plays would have worked, but if they didn't, wouldn't you guys be that much more upset?

As for running more with Jones, remember that the Vikes have had the #1 run D in the league for 3 straight years, and then were #2 this year. Running him more may have worked, but I would not have bet that it would have worked. You have to remember that the Vikes CBs are very good against the run, as well, so running the sweeps at them may not have done what it does against other teams.

I was shocked at how this game played out, truthfully. I expected it to be a LOT closer than it was. The missed FGs hurt, but in the grand scheme of things, there were other areas that were bigger issues.

The area where I see that Dallas needs some improvement for next year is the O-line. Weaknesses were exposed there, and a lot of it is due to age. get younger there, and I think you'll be in great shape for the next few years.

My take on the late TD: Well, it was unnecessary. I'm not sure what to say about it. Stranger things have happened, and with it being the Vikes, we've seen many of them. #1 is that they have had horrible kick coverage the last couple years, though they were great on Sunday. I would have run the ball, if they were truly going to try to go for it, but at the same time, you want to try to call a successful play if you're going to do it. The game is 60 minutes long, not 57 or 58 minutes. They have to play out the entire thing. If you don't like it, then stop it. If the shoe were on the other foot, I'd be upset, but in the end, the game was still being played. If the Dallas D let up and weren't playing as hard, then would you say that they deserve their full pay for the game? Maybe Childress should have put in Jackson at that point to finish up the game. At the same time, if the game was truly over, why were Dallas starters (like Brooking) still on the field? It's just my opinion, anyways. I'm sure that if these 2 teams play next year, it will be brought up and retribution will be sought. It would just add that much more intensity to what would prove to be a good game already.

I don't have anything to say against the Vikings scoring that last touchdown. It's a football game and the object is to move the ball down the field until you cross the goal line.

I do find all the whining interesting especially since you don't hear any Arizona Cardinals crying about how the Saints but up 35 points in the first half. They got beat by 31 points and you just don't hear anyone crying because it was bad sportsmanship.

I am a Cowboys fan and I had no problem with the last score. These guys are professionals. If you can't handle a ass whooping you shouldn't be playing at this level.

I am stoked for next year already. This team is now battle tested.

You guys got screwed by Suisham, plain and simple. He makes the two kicks and it's a lot closer game.
Now, he's probably joined Norwood and Anderson as the most hated kickers in NFL history.
