Nah, most casual fans like this type of play. They actually gain fans cause those people watch it, while all the ol' schoolers are going to watch it regardless.

Talk as much as we want, its not like we are going to turn the game off and new viewers like this brand of football.

Guess what NFL? Interest in the NBA declined.
Games today look like two 9-year-olds playing Madden at GameStop.

The league needs to step in and change the rules back to an even playing field.

It's bad football.

Just cause we got more weapons than the 9ers doesn't mean we have the weapons to win even with OL improvements.

I agree it starts with the OL but we also need to get better game management and play calling.

Many teams have done this, to include ours.

Also the RG is slapping the OC when the QB needs te ball snapped, they are allowed to do this in stadiums were crowd noise is a problem.
"It's little bit like the description of pornography from years back. It's hard to define it. But you know what it is at the end of it. It's hard to define it. I think you know who is more physical. Often times you see that in the fourth quarter. A lot of time the team on the other side feels it. We pride ourselves on being a physical football team. It's important to us. It's an important time of the year to lay that foundation." - Coach Garrett

Hello Randy Moss

QB Tony Romo has played 4 "Win or Go Home" games since 2008 (includes 2 playoff gms) -- in 3 of them, his QBR was less than 20"

Don't have to like it, its just the truth.

I will watch it til the day I die regardless, they aren't worried about what I think. They are worried about getting the next new guy to get interested and spend his money on the NFL.
