I think both Romo and Garrett are done. Jerruh is going to want to clean house, knows he has a capable QB behind Romo and can draft someone in the middle of the first and get decent value this season.

Though I don't fault either one 100% for this loss. The Dallas defense was badly beat up and couldn't stop the run. Romo threw the three picks, and all made me scratch my head, but he also didn't have help at the end, and Michael Irvin already criticized Austin and Bryant for not being on the field. Still, Jerruh needs his scapegoats.

Also thought it was worth mentioning that a seventh rounder from the Jim Zorn era effectively ended the Cowboys comeback with Rob Jackson's interception near the end of the fourth. Also interesting is that many people wrote off the Redskins defense after losing Carriker and especially Orakpo, but Jackson's done better than most could have imagined from a seventh rounder four years ago.

Congrats Skins fans.. now onto Sunday

Congrats Skin fans. Garrett will not be gone. He did a pretty good job coaching this season, especially after the death of Brown.

I have always been a Romo supporter. Without him we would be a 4 win team this season, but I think Dallas needs to draft a QB to work behind Romo. They shouldn't extend him in the off-season.

Demarcus Ware SHOULD NOT have been on the field last night. (how many times have you EVER heard that?) He consistently did not stay home and fucked the defense over numerous times. Our defense got shredded on the ground last night but we also have about 7 people off the street who are playing for us. I still think Ryan did a hell of a job with the makeshift defense that he had for a majority of the year.

Till next year.

I don't think they should let go of Garrett, but Jerruh could Jerruh. You never know.

Romo has cemented his legacy in Dallas I think. With the Bills and Chiefs in desperate need of help at QB and some talent spread throughout their roster, the Cowboys could get a deal for Romo they can't pass up. I think installing a vertical passing offense with Kyle Orton, while drafting someone to grow behind him, would be a good choice if they get a good package for Romo.

You are right, Ware should not have been on the field. Very slow to react to things, and he kept getting pushed off the point of attack by whoever was blocking him.

Orton is not the answer. The fact of the matter is there's no one out there as good as Romo is. Kman said it best. If you don't have Romo in the 7 games before last night's game, what's the Cowboys W-L record in that 7 game span? I'm guessing 1-6. And last night's game doesn't mean squat.

With Romo, you take the good along with the bad. That's just the way it is.

I'm sure that my post deserved a groan from you. It was full of troll.

So the bad is being 1-6 in "win or go home" games? I mean, I get that you might not have a better option available, but the guy has not performed well in clutch games. To me, that's enough to move on, even if it's to Kyle Orton or another QB. At this point, you already know what Romo is going to get you, he's 32 and the odds like he will magically improve ala Rich Gannon is pretty small. With the amount of teams that are desperate for a QB like Buffalo, Arizona and KC, it might benefit Dallas in the long run to move him now.

romo nor garrett are going anywhere....anytime soon. thats a shame tho. at least get rid of romo....he just cant get it done in big d.

A year ago, Mike Shanahan was putting the finishing touches on his second disappointing season as the Redskins' coach. The team finished 5-11 on the heels of a 6-11 record in 2010, and the conversation had gradually progressed from "Here's the guy who's gonna finally save the franchise!" to "So who's Dan Snyder going to hire next?"

And then the front office pulled off the biggest trade in team history, drafted quarterback Robert Griffin III, and 10 wins later, the Redskins are division champs and will host the Seahawks on Wild Card Weekend. And while it wasn't as straightforward as "Draft franchise QB, get comfortable for annual playoff runs" -- Washington was 3-6 before reeling off seven in a row -- RG3 has had a lot to do with the turnaround, and with it, Shanahan's job security.

According to the Washington Post's Mark Maske, the organization is seriously considering negotiating a contract extension this offseason with Shanahan.

"One person with knowledge of the team's deliberations on the matter said Monday that Redskins officials were trying to decide whether to work on a possible extension with Shanahan this offseason, with two seasons left on his existing contract, or wait to do it when he's down to one season remaining on his contract," Maske wrote on New Year's Eve.

In January 2010, the Redskins originally signed Shanahan to a five-year deal thought to pay him approximately $7 million a season.

“I'm very proud of this group because there are a lot of people, when you're 3-6, who find some adversity and they're not strong enough mentally to really go out there and practice hard, give themselves a chance to accomplish goals,” Shanahan said Monday. “You have to have strong character to take criticism and not worry about what's being said and just focus on your job.”

No, the irony of that statement isn't lost on us.

Either way, Shanahan deserves credit for turning the Redskins' season around. But it's also worth pointing out that, like every successful coach in recent memory, it helps to have a franchise quarterback under center.

RG3 to Tony Romo after the game.

"Hey Tony. I just wanted to say to you, don’t listen to what anybody else is saying about you. You're a great quarterback, man. And this game doesn’t mean anything."
