A Quick Reminder

[ufcrules1]

Oh you mean the Washington game where the starting QB broke a bone in his back and the following game where the starting QB was replaced by Brandon freaking Weeden? Not to mention the obviously unhealthy starting QB in week one in SF. There's a difference between excuses and reasons. Like how you're running out of reasons to be a Romo hater and filling the void with excuses.

Washington game? The game where Romo looked like a rookie against the blitz for the vast majority of the game BEFORE he got hurt? Don't make excuses for him, he played HORRIBLE in that game. He was healthy in all the games last year, but he just had some off games in a few. That is very normal for ALL QB's in the league. Heck....Rodgers looked like crap in the first few games like year. Do you hear any excuses made for him? Nope. Put the Romo pom poms down. When he plays good, give him praise, when he plays bad admit it.. don't make excuses for him.

Miami is on the verge of being a great team. Excited to see how Tannehill does this year.

I drafted Jarvis Landry in fantasy.. so I hope Tannehill tears it up and throws a lot of balls to him. I also hope they can beat the Patriots because I can't stand that team!

If Romo had been 100% last season, there is a good chance that they would have won 14 in the regular season.

Had we kept Romo out of 1 game we might have won that game too. So , there goes that theory.

To be fair, to be fair, not Romos fault, Another Garrett "i see the problem, but screw you if you think im fixing it" Haslett had Romos number and proved he could get a Romo regardless of talent. Garrett should have been mixing up the offense to get Romo out of that mess. Thats more on Garrett than Romo. Sorry sometimes a defensive coach has a qbs number. IT happens. Or for that matter any player. Just happen Haslet has 1 good feature. He can get at Romo.

Haslett knew how to get to Romo is right but I don't blame Garrett I blame Romo for not recognizing the blitz that came at him over and over again. It's his job to recognize that at the line. Romo was horrible that night, it happens to all QB's though. Romo is not somehow immune to that simply because he is the QB of our team.

Still on Garrett to protect his Qb. This is what Sean Payton was good at, knowing his qbs strengths and weaknesses and matching the qb to the defense and put them in a place to succeed.

This is a factually incorrect diatribe against your own team. I'd hate to see what you make up to go after things you don't like.

Unless you expect a significant improvement from the weaker teams from last season, they have a fairly weak schedule. I don't see enough improvement from most of those teams to be that much better than last season.

Despite the opposition's lower percentage numbers appearing favorable, I expect the Colts, NO, Dolphins and Bills to be significantly improved in 2015. We also play both 2014 Super Bowl teams this year, including playing the Packers and Bills, not to mention the Skins at their stadiums in DECEMBER. At New Orleans, Brees was hurt most of last year and should be healthy in 2015. The Dolphins have Suh, Jarvis Landry and Kenny Stills and are expecting good things from an improving QB, Tannehill. The Bills have Tyrod Taylor, LeSean McCoy, Sammy Watkins and Robert Woods (both fine WRs) aside from their stellar defense. To augment Andrew Luck, the Colts have TY Hilton, added WR Andre Johnson and also RB Frank Gore.

Understand that I'm not declaring we'll be up against any overwhelming opposition, just don't really don't put too much stock in our opposition's won/loss percentages as being true reflections of their current capabilities. I'm fully anticipating we'll be able and competitive with any and every team we face in 2015. I just think it might be a bit tougher than it was in 2014.

Damn. I need to get my happy booty to Farmer's Branch stat! and console our brethren!

Gimme!


Gimme... I swear I never looked at Ms Busty...
Except for those pics you sent... but after that!!! Never even looked in her direction.

There's no question that some of the breaks that went against the Cowboys last year might have been avoided if the circumstances had been different. If Romo had been 100% vs. San Fran in the 1st game, it might easily have offered a different result. The game against Green Bay could also have ended much better with a change or two. Anyhow, the schedule this year seems to be tougher than it was in 2014. Nevertheless, a better defense this year might help produce a season very comparable to last. That would be terrific.

No. Murray helped cost us that game. Thanks Demarco!

Means absolutely nothing for this season.

You and I have had a slightly contentious relationship over the years.
I agree with a lot of what you say and I strike you hard on what I don't believe.
I haven't had to strike against you for quite a bit now, have I?

Except for something I said in another thread that I can't remember and I don't even know if it was YOU that I was clowning in that thread anyways so don't sweat it...

My point? You're absolutely spot on with this.
Romo has to know what he's seeing from Haslett and he should, by now.

At least by now...

Recognizing and having the physical skills to evade are different reactions.
Romo is more limited then he was earlier in his career,it happens

No it's not. The truth comes before my love of the Cowboys. Romo played horrific in the Washington game. The truth just gets in the way of some fans emotions and love for their team. I'm able to separate the two but you simply cannot.

Murray played a role for sure but that game was a team loss. We failed all the way around.. offense, defense, special teams, play calling, etc.
Just an all around team loss. The crazy thing is I think we were a better team and were close at times of putting the game away. Kills me because I think
we would have beat Seattle the next week behind that dominate run game we had. Seattle was elated that GB won that game.. they wanted no part of us.

If you can look at the SF game and declare Romo healthy there's no point in having this conversation. Like I said, there's excuses and reasons and you have trouble differentiating betweenthe two.

You straight up said he was healthy in all the games. No emotion needed to classify that as false. And the only reason you're saying it is because of the very thing you're claiming in others: an emotional response.

Just a heads up, the Colts ain't on the schedule.

The opening day loss to SF last season was due to 4 turnovers and the defense not stepping up and keeping SF out of the endzone. Had the defense held SF to a couple of FG's instead of allowing them to score TD's the Cowboys would have had a chance in the second half despite Romo being off. Kap dissected the Cowboys defense like Joe Montana in the first half and Boldin looked like Jerry Rice. The Cowboys pass coverage looked like a repeat of the 2013 season. As for the loss to Washington that was due to the Cowboys not being prepared to play and taking them for granted. It was a classic trap game with Colt McCoy starting you could smell the stench of an upset a mile away. Even before Romo got injured that game was slipping away.

The defense sucked allowing yet another Journeymen QB to have a career game. Romo's health had nothing to do with that loss. As for the OP blaming the Philly loss on Romo having little rest he better go check and see how poorly the defense played. If anyone looked like they needed rest it was the defense because all they did was sleep walk the entire game. The Cowboys D gave up 26 first downs and 464 yards of total offense making Mark Sanchez look like a viable NFL QB. The Cowboys were completely dominated in all phases of that game. All some FANS do is come up with excuses for every Cowboys loss.
