Romo's Hold

[Samarta]

Did anyone see the ball that was used on that play? It was the kicking ball, the Cowboys put into play. It looked like it had been sitting in water for the entire game. I'm not making excuses for Romo. He screwed up a perfect snap. To his credit, he was a foot or so from a first down and a yard from a touchdown. Oh well, from the way it looks, he has more than a couple of ladies to console him over the off season.

blame the nfl for that ball. the teams are no longer allowed to switch to kicking and passing balls like they used to. the teams are also no longer allowed to use the balls in practice to brake them in.

are you sure? because I heard Madden say that it was the ball they put into play and I also saw an interview with Romo and he indicated the same thing. That it was the ball the Cowboys put into play. I think it's true about normal offensive stuff, but I think they still use their own ball in the kicking game.

very true....the league does not allow the kicking balls to be used before the game....every team states they are very slick even when they are dry...

Detmer and Akers did Ok in the rain for the game winner...thats all that matters.. GO EAGLES
