Orton with 46 attempts

[loublue22]

The passes to Witten and Austin were clearly a foot behind them. And Ware had his best game probably of the season. WTH are you talking about?

the first INT hit Witten in the arm

Many players catch most of the their passes with their trailing bicep.

Doesn't change the fact that Romo would have been crucified for that play.

Witten, ball hit him in the hands. Perhaps you've heard of the rule, "you touch it, you catch it?" Look, I love the guy, but as I've maintained for some time now, you can pretty much expect a blunder (costly penalty, drop, etc.) from him once a week.

Austin's pass was behind him, but it'll be a snapshot of his Cowboys career. "What could've been."

Murray's fumble was very costly.

Ware made some noise, admittedly, but the game-chaning play has been missing from his repertoire for some time now.

Throughout their entire careers here (Murray still has time), they've had so many games to get the monkey off their backs.

They haven't.

This guy is gonna have to try and run the ball! We don't even try... 17 runs for 51 yards, but on the flip side we go 46 pass plays.

Remember when all the Romo haters blamed Romo for our pass happy offense? Remember they said all he does is audible out of run plays and into pass plays ... Well I guess Orton does the same damn thing, because our back up threw it 46 freaking times. OR it could be that we have an incompetent play caller, which so happens to be our HC who doesn't even know how to use time outs properly.

I honestly don't understand how Garret got the job, he just really doesn't seem to bring a whole lot to the table, but maybe I'm blind and missing something here. Also, this game is completely on Garret. Yah Orton threw the game ending interception, and yah he did miss some throws out there, but he played well for a back up. Also the defense played well today to, sadly we just have one of the worst head coaches in football. At least it was a respectable game.

When your backup qb, who has zero first team reps going into the week, has 40+ pass attempts in a close game! something is wrong.

No, it didn't. It hit him in the back right shoulder. Could he have made a better adjustment to the ball? Maybe. But this is a HOF TE out there, I give him the benefit of the doubt. It wasn't a good throw.

Austin's pass was behind him, but it'll be a snapshot of his Cowboys career. "What could've been."

I have zero idea what this has to do with Austin. It was another bad throw.

Note, I don't blame the backup QB at all for this, I blame a coach that decided to ride everything on the backup QB.

Murray's fumble was very costly.

it was 3 points. It certainly should not have changed the gameplan, which it obviously did.

Ware made some noise, admittedly, but the game-chaning play has been missing from his repertoire for some time now.

Just saying, in the grand scheme of important games lately, this was not his worst.

Throughout their entire careers here (Murray still has time), they've had so many games to get the monkey off their backs.

They haven't.

And at some point its time to start looking at the constants of this team that can't get the monkey off their backs. Hint: its not the players.

 

[dallasfan4lizife]

he certainly did play well, I'm talking about situational playcalling

terrible.

it's hard to defend garrett after this one.

 

[Cowboyz88]

Whatever. I'm willing to bet that HE admits he should've had it. Most everyone, but you, knows he should've had it.

I have zero idea what this has to do with Austin. It was another bad throw.

If you like what we're getting out of him, I can't help you.

Fumble is a fumble is a fumble.

Just saying, in the grand scheme of important games lately, this was not his worst.

Again, if you like what we're getting out of him, I can't help you.

And at some point its time to start looking at the constants of this team that can't get the monkey off their backs. Hint: its not the players.

No doubt, it's the GM, but these "stars" (excluding Murray) have played for THREE different coaches and have done squat collectively.

If you like what we're getting out of them, I can't help you.

 

[wileedog]

Still wasn't a good throw.

Fumble is a fumble is a fumble.

Sure is. What does it have to with the rest of game?

Just seemed like an odd game to pick on him. Look, I don't blame the defense in the least for this game, they played way, way better than I thought they were capable of.

Unfortunately, this coach is proving to be the worst of the bunch.

 

[Cowboyz88]

We lost by two points, so the fumble that led to three has a lot to do "with the rest of the game."

 

[Bay10]

This loss is on Garrett. I can't believe how he quit running the ball again.

It's mindblowing how he quits running the ball every game. Same thing week after week.

 

[wileedog]

My point was we stopped running after the fumble. Again. This was not a game we were going to win with Murray getting 17 carries.

 

[Zman5]

When you pass that much with a predictable offense, defenses will catch on to what you are doing and make a play or two at the end of games.

Romo, Orton, Brady, Rogers, Peyton. It doesn't matter who the QB is running this crappy offense.

 

[big dog cowboy]

and the last one ends the game

Not that he was bad, but if I was Murray I don't know what I'd do. He fumbled, I get it, but still.

You thought tonight would be different?

Really?

Please watch the Witten INT again. That ball should have been caught.

 

[wileedog]

It should have been a foot to the right and Romo would have been crucified for the same pass. Not a single person here would have been calling out Witten for it.

Come on man. Romo may have been blamed by some on this board but the other side of that is that some on this board would blindly defend his play, no matter if it would have been a poor throw or not. The majority of the board would have evaluated the play and called it for what it was. What you say here is simply inaccurate. I'm sorry.

 

[SacredStar]

That wasn't Orton...

LOL, ok dude. This place is certainly known for its objectivity and rationality

I'm going to agree to disagree with you on that one considering how much crap Romo took for the exact same pass against GB.
