Bullshit. If you have a cannon for an arm, you don't throw the ball into the ground - over and over again. I'd prefer Batch's dinks and dunks to Leftwich's windup, lack of vision, and "cannon".

There will be no season left...IF...that ever happens. Roeth misses more than 3 games and this season is completely over. They ain't going into Baltimore and beating them with Leftwich...next week in Cleveland will be a miracle if they win.

Season fading away...

Leftwich is worthless - that's obvious. Give Batch a go - can't possibly be any worse.

yes we did well against a pretty good team with a much better record than what their team plays like.

I wholeheartedly agree. Special teams and the offense gave up 10 of the points, but with Leftwich, it wont get any better. BAL didnt do anything brilliant or hard to figure out. Byron just could not get the ball to the receivers.

At Cleveland will not be easy. They have a tough defense. Then at BAL the week after. Honestly, we could be 6-6 after the next 2 weeks.

Cleveland gave DAL all it wanted in DAL today and should have won the game.

Tonight was the game we had to have and we could not do it. The playoffs are in jeopardy to be sure.

we need to get ben and brown healthy quick...ben may be a few games (at max we can hope) but brown is a huge part of our offense, he goes hard and wants the ball...Im a little disappointed in wallace with the way hes been playing, seems like he doesnt even wanna be out there.

Noones gonna want to give someone like that a contract

Along with Redman, Baron Batch also got hurt so now we could be down 2 RB's

How come they have a professional punter and we don't? Geez. We got out-kicked all night. Freaking field position killed us because Lefty couldn't sustain a drive....

[JeromeBetties63]

Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda....we should have run the ball on that 3rd and goal.

Not yet. I think this team can hang on to a wild card spot, get Ben back and go on a run. BUT WE NEED A FREAKING PUNTER....GEEZ.
