So maybe the bad snaps were caused by the Deadskins cheating...

[madinmaryland]

The Dallas Cowboys had several botched shotgun snaps on Monday night, with center Phil Costa hiking the ball to Tony Romo before Romo was ready. After the game, the Cowboys said that was because the Redskins were cheating.

NFL rules prohibit defensive players from making “disconcerting signals” by pretending to call out the quarterback’s cadence, but Romo said after the game that’s exactly what some Redskins defensive linemen were doing.

“We’ve got to get the snap thing worked out,” Romo said. “Costa said the D-line kept calling out the snap count. We’ll get that worked out. We’ll tell the league and see if that’s something that can be fixed because you’re not supposed to be able to do that. So we’ll see. But we can’t have that happen. We shouldn’t have been in that situation.”

ESPNDallas.com suggested that former Cowboys defensive end Stephen Bowen, who now plays for the Redskins, might have helped the Redskins learn Romo’s cadences to fool Costa into snapping the ball.

1. Of course Romo said that.

It makes for a much better story than "Our center is absolutely terrible".

3. The NFL should just let the 'Skins and 'Boys play every week.

No, they can't make it to playoffs, but most of the country would be happy.

5. The QB bitching out the Center is just a great idea.

My son has played HS center. He already hates the QBs and having them bitch at him would just give me even more reason to want to protect them.

Jesus, Romo, even if the guy if fucking up, you need to build up the guys who's job is to protect you.

6. I thought the same thing. n/t
