He did it in 2011. That was the first season Dez started and he was not the same receiver hei s now. He wasn't a "true" #1 receiver that he is now.

Yet Romo made a JAG like Laurent Robinson a big time receiver that season. Robinson wasn't even on the team until the 3rd week of the season and only started 4 games. Yet he ended up leading the team with most TDs (11) and had 54 catches for 859 yards.

The Cowboys ended up 8-8 that season and Romo had a bad game on opening night vs the Jets and the worst meltdown of his career vs Detroit a few weeks later. He didn't get it done that season.

Why not? You're calling out the board.
And I very much know how you feel. You've been explaining it for quite a bit.

He hates FANS of the Cowboys. lol He is afraid of Romo for some reason, because the majority of his post are about Romo.

So, carry on FAN...because you will either go to his ignore, or he will make tearful messages to the mods about how he is being treated so bad by us mean FANS.

That's why I said if the defense steps up, he wouldn't have to carry the team all by himself. Also Linehan is much better OC than JG was. I don't think Linehan would allow some of those type of game to occur as long as Romo is physically able to perform. Like calling bunch of pass plays while leading by few scores.

Defense gave up 9 points. We are a bend don't break defense. They'll give up yards but get stingy when it comes to points.

I agree without Gregory and Hardy, our pass rush is going to suffer and it remains to be seen how they do until they return. Luckily, Hardy and Ro comes back after 3 more weeks and from what I've read, Gregory could be back within 2 weeks.

Bend but don't break isn't going to get it done with this defense that will be facing Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers they cause a lot of defenses to break. We saw what a one legged Aaron Rodgers did to the defense in the playoffs last season. If our pass rush suffers it's going to put more pressure on our secondary minus Scandrick.

The Cowboys are going to have to play above themselves to win this game. The eagles are simply in a better position to win this game. It would have been a dog fight going in there 100% healthy.

After watching the Giants move with ease down the field for 79 yards with the game on the line handing the Cowboys the win with a huge gaff in clock management I'm not so sure they will step up but we'll see. They should be better when Hardy is added and Gregory is back at 100% but I'm pretty discouraged with the defense and the losses we've had on offense from last season.

Romo's receivers still have to do their job and the backs have to provide a running game or he'll still have to shoulder a lot of the load. Russell Wilson has a great defense but he also has a great RB to take some pressure off him. Having a great back helps open up opportunities in the passing game for Seattle despite not having great WR's.
