Winners Win...

Tony Romo + 49ers = Superman
for a day.

...and losers blow 10-point leads at home with less than 10 minutes remaining in the game.

Pathetic.

Dallas tried to hand this game to the 49ers during the first three quarters by missing a chip shot field goal and having Jon Kitna take snaps at quarterback. But when given the opportunity to protect a double-digit lead midway through the 4th quarter, the defense folded like a wet napkin while Alex Smith and the offense only managed a single first down.

When the offense stalled after a 4-play drive to open overtime, you figured the defense would let Dallas chew up some yardage, but it should've taken more than one goddamned pass by a quarterback with a broken rib to a wide receiver who had never caught a ball in an NFL game prior to this afternoon.

I guess the defense can pride themselves on not lettting Jason Whitten or Austin Miles burn them - again - on the game-clinching drive.

During the beginning of overtime, we were treated to sideline shots of Tony Romo, who returned to the game earlier after going to the locker room with a broken rib, coaching up his teammates on the sideline. Meanwhile, our last shot of Alex Smith before heading to the huddle showed him warming up while throwing balls to an assistant. Nope, no conferences with the head coach, no pumping up his teammates - Alex was working on his mechanics. Apparently, he hasn't quite mastered the art of the forward pass, as evidenced by several of his off-target throws throughout the afternoon.

Congrats to the Niners for adding a rare chapter to "The Tony Romo Story."

Winners win - and losers lose. Once again, the losers were wearing scarlet and gold.
