    By the way what a funny old game last night...

    Completely even for about 60% of the match and then the Green Bay quarterback got injured and they fell apart!

    Going for gut instinct with Dallas to pummel Washington tonight. 30+points margin.



    NEWBIE ALERT: At the risk of being heavily laughed at, I'm trying to understand the hate for Tony Romo- did he have a terrible season last year or something?

    He chokes in big games, there are hundreds of memes featuring him.

    I wish I had his money.

    Does anyone have any high-res photos of the crowd flag display during the National anthems of yesterday's game at Wembley? Preferably one where both the US and UK flags are visible

    Last year Tony Romo played the best game of his year, more than 500 passing yards with 35 pass attempts. Personally wrecked the Broncos and almost made Peyton Manning cry. Still lost the game.

    Read this: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1800739-tony-romos-epic-500-yard-game-undone-by-last-minute-choke

    I can grab 3 more examples of this of the 2013 season.

    The biggest game for Tony Romo to choke in was against the Packers. A win would mean the Cowboys would go to the post season, instead... well no need to explain further on the game. Just that Romo got injured, Kyle Orton had to take over and he lost the last game. Cowboys missed out on the playoffs.

    And just when you think you've seen it all, McCoy beats the Cowboys in overtime. Crazy week.

    Apparently the viewing figures for what was Sunday morning Breakfast Football in the US were very promising, even on the West coast.

    Big surprise last night in Dallas, well done to the Redskins.

    Can that upset Cowboys momentum and threaten their playoff hopes?

    Hope the Jaguars beat the Cowboys

    'Although speculation on Sunday suggested that this rapid expansion of NFL games in London would see five contests played at Wembley next year, the Rugby World Cup looks to have put a stop to that and it will be three contests again for 2015.'

    Damn it, **** off rugby.

    New Orleans got a nice win on the road last night. A lot of missed opportunities for both sides early in 1st quarter. Didn't watch the game in depth but Saints were the more clinical as the game wore on. There's a speed demon of theirs (forgive me as I'm still learning the names) who reminds me so much of Jason Robinson, one of the best players we have ever had in rugby in the UK- a winner in both League and Union. He was the same- magic feet, super fast, and a sidestep to sever defences with.

    Anyway, forgive me for the 'R' word those of you who are not so keen!

    Tony Tomo questionable for tomorrow night. He injured his back, he's always questionable for the rest of the season in that case.
