Can't regain a lead you never had. Dallas trailed the entire game.
The Surest Choke East of the Pecos.
I know, but I felt so sorry for Orton.
The disgust should have been directed at the sleepy Cowboy booth and coaches, oblivious to the clock and the referee snafu, prior to the interception. I don’t know if any of these guys have even yet noticed it.
The announcers sure did and were apocalyptic, but not the Cowboy brass, that’s for sure.
As Woody Hayes once famously stated, ‘There are three things that can happen with a pass, and two of them are bad.’
Orton did what he could with what he was given. And his was a position I would not want to be in - starting his first game of the year at the end of the regular season with a title on the line.
But that said, my two favorite teams are the Raiders and whoever’s playing the Cowboys. :)
GO NINERS!!!
Orton didn’t lose the game.
The NFL’s worst defense did.
Cowboys, enjoy those playoffs... on your flatscreens.
Slightly off-topic: Why does Dallas ALWAYS wear their white jerseys? I’ve hardly ever seen them play with their dark blue jerseys. Hell, do they even have alternate jerseys?
Who cares?
The IMPORTANT lesson here is that: The Bears. Still. Suck.

Until they get that inbred retard extra-chromosome Arkansas Hillbilly Jerry Jones to sell the team, you’ll keep seeing 8-8 teams forever.
Orton played an amazing game considering he took no reps in practice the entire year except for the five days before that game.
Sorry, but you can’t point fingers at the QB when the defense let the Eagles gain as many yards as they wanted to at any given time ... especially on 3rd and long. And you can’t blame the QB when play calls were stupid ... like that pass called on 4th and an inch.
As a Bears fan I always hated Orton, his short dink and dunk passes irritated the heck out of me. Well there’s that and also the fact that when we drafted him one of the big libs on the Trib wrote that Orton’s debate at Purdue against the Bush administration were, “The things that legends were made of.” Pfffftttttttt....hate his guts.
The Dallas Cowboys: Great in September, Awful in December, Golfing in January.
