How good (or lucky) do you have to be

[JB]

To give up 14 points to interception returns, plus three more ints and a fumble. . .
Give up 7 points to kickoff returns. . .

And still win the game?

You gotta hold the opponent's offense to 3 points. . .

And score 25.

Ugly, ugly win, but the last minute of the game was flawlessly executed.

How 'bout them Cowboys?

Buffalo realy screwed that one. Late in the forth, if they had not gone for a touch down and attempted a field goal, the outcome would have been different. Chalk it up to poor management.

JB - I'm glad the struggling outcome of your 4-0 team did much better than out sucky 4-0 team. Cripes.

That onsides kick at the end of the game was all I needed to see. The Bills players acted like they were mildly interested spectators on the play! It was pathetic!

Next week I think the Cowboys take on the Pats. The Dallas celebration will be short lived.

wasn't the uniform the Bills wore last nite is the same as when they choked in 3 Super Bowls in the early 90's? Jim Kelly, Thurman Thomas era?

Evan though Romo and T.O. got me my first loss on my fantasy league, it was an amazing end to a game. I gotta say though, what Buffalo did at the 1st field goal attempt, calling timeout just before ball is snapped so they have to kick again, that was pretty dirty. That is a terrible rule allowing that to be done.

that was truly an amazing game. Exciting to the very last second.

I can't believe the Cowboys screwed up so badly (Romo) and still won.

Go Saints! Last year, one win from the Superbowl! This year, 0-4.

OK, so they didn't actually choke, they blew it due to slit throats . . . got it

What a train wreck of a game. I picked Dallas to win in a pool so I ended up okay. It was so hard to watch the game in the early quarters but that last quarter was great. Kudo's to the kicker for 2 consecutive kicks at that distance. Serves Buffalo right for calling the time out.

My poor wife was sleeping during the last qtr but my yelling woke here at the end.

I have one word for all you football fans, Patriots. Doesn't matter what your team does during the regular season they won't get past the Pats. The best you can hope for is to loose the Superbowl by less than a touchdown.

America's Team, the Dallas Cowboys

NFL Eastern Conference Champions 1966, 1967

NFL Capitol Division Champions 1968, 1969

NFC Eastern Division Champions 1973, 1976, 1979, 1981, 1985, 1994, 1996, 1998

NFC Champions 1970, 1975, 1978

Super Bowl Champions VI, XII, XXVII, XXVIII, XXX

Not one time were they accused of cheating.

If you think about it, you have to really feel for Buffalo. The Cowboys beat them twice in the Super Bowl, the Stars beat them in the Stanley Cup and then last night.

Not for this football fan crabby bob! The Colts defeated them last year and it doesn't looks like they won't do it again. Deny it if you will but the Colts are still the Champs. Faking injuries to stop the hurry up offense doesn't work anymore as proved in last year AFC title game.

Re: How good (or lucky) do you have to be

That was quite an entertaining game ... even if I didn't like the final results.

But remember, the "burgh" is back ... bring on the black and gold.

Gonefishie,

My sister is a Colts fan and she goes crazy every time they beat the Pats. It's like I told her, with Randy Moss on the team I don't see how the Patriots can lose as long as he plays up to his potential. Look at what happened against Cleveland last week. They completely shut him down but at the cost of leaving the rest of the offense open. Granted the defense scored one of their touchdowns and intercepted 3 passes, but even if you take the TD away they would have won 27 to 17.

I'm not a Pats fan and don't really care which team wins in any given game but the Pats are playing the 'boys this weekend and for sentimental reasons I'll be rooting for Dallas.
