No one in the Cowboys vs Cards game wants to hold on to the ball.

That seems like 3 fumbles in the past 5 plays or something.

But just give Romo a sec. He'll give it back.

wow...Tony Romo...I'm sorry - he's just not that good. He'll be lucky to win anything in his career.

4 Sale: One NFL head coach. One owner, low mileage. Needs new shocks (trouble adjusting to changes in the road). Great off the line but redlines mid trip. Gas guzzler.

And the Packers put the game away with a long time consuming drive. The 3 relevant teams in the NFC North are now all tied at the top of the division with 3-3 records. It's a good thing Indy found their stride the week before they play the Packers' banged up defense.

Any thoughts what TO will have to say post game, having touched the ball 5 times today (with 1 drive to go)?

I hope Kurt pulls it off, too. Eagles keep their season alive with a huge comeback against the 49ers.

The Cowboys will have about a minute to go about 35 yards for a FG attempt. Hopefully the Arizona defense doesn't continuously continue to not tackle Marion Barber.

I still don't know why this isn't an automatic injury time out. Is it because he wasn't injured enough to keep him on the ground?

Eh, whistle was blowing before snap. Who knows how some players reacted to that. Hate it when people try to say the outcome would have been the same if no TO was called. Not to say I don't think "icing the kicker" is silly.

Just one of those things. Since the player could walk on his own power, and the refs were too busy following the hurry-up, it was absolutely the right call, nothing else the refs could do. The Cardinals, if anyone, are at fault for not paying enough attention and bringing the situation to the refs attention.
