Just read this thread and you will see..

Other teams have injuries too. The team Dallas lost to last night had their injuries as well. To starters.

Stop the excuses.

The fact that Dallas show heart, emotion, toughness is irrelevant to the fact that the same ol' Cowboys were exposed once again.

Changes need to come. Not sure when. But, they need too.

Please enlighten all of us.

I think I saw a stat last night that the Cowboys are the only team in NFL history to win 8 games despite trailing in every game.

Cowboys overachieved big time.

Just saying...

When can fans stop with the excuses and see the real deal.

Given the injuries we had, doing a job of adapting to them from the scouting department to game planning was spectacular. And to look at the injuries we had and to even say, we didn't have a losing season and had a SHOT at winning the division is a successful season

And here's the fact that the Sunshine Pumpers can't bear to see:

The injuries aren't an excuse, this team was just as capable of losing well before most of the season-ending injuries occurred.

But that reality throws a monkey wrench into the Injury Excuse Agenda.

8-8 is not a successful season, no matter how far you try to lower the bar.

Injuries didn't make Romo throw that ONCE AGAIN game killing INT again.

The Cowboys had a shot at the NFCE because the rest of the NFCE was just as bad as the Cowboys..

Yes, the Cowboys did a great job with the injuries. Nice. Garrett handled all of it well too.

8-8 is still not successful..

And, the excuses need to stop.

Really? Most people thought that?

I doubt that, and I think there's a preseason poll to show it. But if they did, I have no idea why.

You still wouldn't get it. So, no point.

This season was the worst kind of failure. To come so close to the division is just going to give Al Davis Jr. the ammunition he needs to maintain the status quo for the near future.

I saw them at 8-8. I didn't see any vast improvements at the beginning of last season to think different.

Course, was praying I was wrong. No " I told you so's" here.

This Dallas is what they are. They don't know how to close out a game. This year, they seem to struggle with beginning a game. Romo is still making the same mistakes, desperate throws.

The defense was solid. not great, before the injuries. Do they take a toll? Of course, but, every team has them. Every team deals with them.

Romo is not the issue here. Why isn't anyone discussing the fact that Morris rushed for 200 yards on our defense that was in shambles. Do you think he rushes for 200 with Lee or Carter and hell even Brent? NO.

When you have 1 playoff win under you belt in 15 years, I guess this is a success. It is sad how far this organization has fallen.

No, he is part of the issue.

I have discussed that and damn right the defense was too blame as well..

Still, with that.. The Cowboys were right back in it until that bad throw , that ONCE AGAIN Romo made. Like he has done in most of the games of this stature he has done.

And, this was on 1st down ? Was it not? Maybe 2nd? And he throws up another desperate pass like that?

Unacceptable.

Doesn't help of the other two picks that swung momentum, got Dallas's defense tired in the process, but, that defense made the other two ints by romo irrelevant..

Dallas and the fans knew what it was going to take to win this game. Keep the deadskins offense off the field and get ahead early somehow. Neither happened. And the moron Ogletree( why he is even still on the roster is beyond me) didn't help with the first INT. all on him, not Romo. But, the opposing team doesn't care. Still swings momentum. Deadskins and their Rook RB were gonna get their yards and Td's.. Dallas didn't match it.

And, Romo killed it all with that same mistake throw he seems to make in times like that. It is what it is. I wish he would succeed. I wish he could get to the next level. He just hasn't. Maybe he can next season? I don't know.

We shall see. but, if Dallas gets the same results next season. He is on the top of the list that needs to go.

I get it, we lost, but look at the season as a whole. We saw a different team for much of the season, and the things to look forward to like Dez, a Lee and Carter D, shedding Ogletree etc.

Agreed..

Non of that matters if Romo is still making the same mistakes at a critical part of a game. There is no excuse for that, it is on him 95% of the time.

I know Romo isn't going anywhere next season. But, plans need to start about replacing him.

I look forward to all of those players for many seasons. Just Not Romo. Why is that so hard to take? I believe he , HIMSELF, has taken the COwboys as far as he can. Now, if Dallas fixes the O-line? SUrely will help Romo, no doubt.

My worry is. Will he still make as many mistakes? Possibly. If he can get players around him who actually know their roles. That would help.

IF all that changes. Great, I am still scared that the same Romo will show up.
