Last-gasp Jets stun Cowboys to stay in hunt

According to David Moore of Dallas Morning News, the team has announced that Moore is officially the guy and that Romo will finally go to injured reserve, thus ending his season – no surprise there.

Moore saw his first snaps for the Cowboys on Saturday night, coming on in the second quarter for an ineffective Matt Cassel. “I’m sure that will be a decision coach Garrett makes as we move on, and we’ll go from there”. The main issue here is his measurements, and those aren’t going to change one bit in the future. On second-and-17, the veteran quarterback attempted to avoid a sack and then throw the ball away toward the Cowboys sideline.

The Cowboys will debate whether this draft (and free agency, too) should be about accumulating more weapons around Tony Romo when he returns next year from a twice-broken collarbone…. or whether Romo’s heir must be found. I’ll simply say this for now: Not employing a “Romo Jr.” puts this franchise (and any franchise) in peril of re-experiencing 2015.

Now, at 9-5 the Jets have the New England Patriots on tap as Fitzpatrick continues his march towards what wold be his first ever playoff appearance.

In all other games, a victory was well within reach, especially the one-point loss to the Seattle Seahawks, the four-point loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and two six-point losses in overtime to the New Orleans Saints and Philadelphia Eagles.

“Offensively, we felt like he did some good things for us”, Garrett said Monday. Jets kicker Randy Bullock split the uprights with 41 seconds remaining, after missing a field goal earlier in the game, to put Gang Green ahead for good.

Well, I think it’s a fair assessment. Fitzpatrick’s touchdown pass to Decker was his 25th of the season.

On Saturday night, they had two who stepped to the forefront in the crucial fourth quarter.

But the second series was halted when Cassel stumbled and then tossed his seventh interception of the season.

Moore will be the 39th quarterback in the history of the Cowboys to start a game under center during the regular season.

This Cowboys season has crossed over from divine intervention to science fiction, only there is no hope inside our Death Star (AT&T Stadium). Dez Bryant had 50 yards (nine targets, four catches) and a TD which shouldn’t feel like a big game but it just his third 50-yard performance since signing his big deal.

If they’re being honest with themselves, they’re disgusted that their fifth-ranked defense almost allowed Kellen Moore, a fourth-year, fourth-string quarterback who’d never played an National Football League snap, to beat them. All of them aren’t going to be 15-, 16-, 20-point wins.

With the Jets trailing, 13-9, in the fourth quarter Saturday, Enunwa had a 24-yard reception from Ryan Fitzpatrick on third-and-14 from the Dallas 27. Weeden is a victor now, and he’s winning games for a team that plays down I-45 from Jones’s ‘Boys.

As many of you know, one of these two teams have to lose at least one out of the final three for the Jets to have a chance at the postseason.
