Actually no, it's one game and we will play them again at Pittsburgh. I'm hoping that this will be a wake up call for the team.

I would hope so because it looked like the entire D was asleep, starting right from the first play.
I haven't heard it mentioned yet, but that pregame tribute the NFL put on before all the 1pm games yesterday was awesome! The speech by Bobby D, the taps, the anthem and the American flag unfolded to cover the entire field, all simultaneously done around the league! Wow! I was at a local NFL pub taking in all the games and the crowd of 100 or so all came to complete silence during the Taps. I'm not ashamed to say, I wasn't the only one to shed a tear. Wow. VERY moving!!!

After an entire day of watching the 9/11 Memorial (I was crying halfway through the A's) and then NFL football, we drove to Penn's Landing for dinner...so we did not get to see any of the Jet/Cowboy game.
I did rewind this morning and watch what happened in the fourth quarter, and all you can say is Wow. Can Tony Romo possibly play any worse when it matters most? Just bizarre. Almost made you think New York was destined to win last night no matter what...

Going into the 4th quarter he was a hero shreading that defense...then.."cough, cough" fumble..."cough, cough" pick-off... It was like a tragic greek play....lol
Romo is like the opposite of Mark Sanchez. Comes up least when it matters most.

And last night, Fat-Tube-of-Goo struck again by going with the ever popular "prevent defense" that prevents you from winning for most of the 3rd and 4th quarter AND....my favorite move, picking a jockey sized DB to cover 6 foot something Plaxico Burress in the 4th quarter.... Priceless...
I missed the first games opening and for the Giants vs Redskins game the Albuquerque Fox affiliate decided to go to SD and run a translator crawl during the entire thing...
Now you GOT to see the rendition at Soldiers Field. I had picked that yesterday as my main game because my wife, being a Chicagoan AND wearing he "Sweetness" #34 jersey...and her knowing there was no Raider game in site...There rendition knocked it out the park. Jim Cornelison has been singing the National Anthem before Chicago Blackhawks games for years... well HIS rendition was THE rendition yesterday.
Check it out:

DAMN....I get goose bumps listening to it again...!

"picking a jockey sized DB"?? From what I saw there weren't a lot of eligible candidates due to injury....
Jeez, rough starts for two good teams on the road, the Steelers and Falcons. If anyone thinks either team is going to wind up 5-11 or something...I doubt it. That said, it's particularly distressing for the Falcons, whose defense was trampled in the playoffs against Green Bay, and now in week one of the new season as well.

I'm rooting for the Falcons to do terrible this year. In part of the 2011 draft in which the Browns/Falcons swapped picks, the Browns get the Falcons 1st and 4th picks in 2012.

You got 6-2 Allan Ball and the 2 safties that are 6-1 apiece and you have a 5-10 guy covering him?
Joe Haden is 5'11" and he played out of his mind yesterday. Height on a CB doesn't matter as much as speed and reaction do, otherwise Manut Bol would've made the best CB ever!
When you are listed at 5-10 on the Dallas Cowboys website and the WR is 6-5 and just as fast as you are and more than likely longer arms than you do, you damn well better think of height as well. And Joe Haden was not on him as much as it looked in the 3rd and 4th Quarter.
