A Touch Of Hostility, Last Night's Game

[newlander]

RIGHT on FCBarca: dude looked like someone was going to run over his puppy. And when they did, he started screaming and acting like an idiot: he really has been exposed. What a fraud: as a QB and a person. CAREER BACKUP. Sure glad JJ locked him in with all that money...........


BTW: hey chosen 1: how 'bout the fastball he zipped through Craytons hands in the end zone? Scared, rookie BS with a throw like that. Just total nonsense: the guy is a complete head case.

How do we turn the ball over 4 times, get no takeaways ourselves, and still only lose by 2 points? This is the frustrating thing that DESPITE the errors, Dallas was well in the game.

29 carries vs 29 pass attempts. When rushes are getting nearly 9yds/carry, you stick to the run. We have 3 solid RBs, so there's no reason to shy away. IMO, I think Garrett's issue (i won't call it a problem yet) w/ playcalling is that he still approaches things w/ a QB's mindset, and a QB won't think "hand off" first. (and I think Bennett is really under-used in the passing game).

Clearly????

So when you are averaging 9ypc running the ball yet you still call for 29 passes WITH THE LEAD AND THE BALL, that is good coaching???? That is typical Garrett BS! Let's not take what the defense is giving us... let's force what I want! Disagree with you totally on that one...

They weren't averaging 9 ypc in the first half. Garrett adjusted and only had Romo attempt 10 of his 29 passes in the second half and ran the ball 14 times and that is when they got the average up to 9 ypc.

Incompletions are better than interceptions. If Romo just eats a couple of those throws Dallas would have been in better position. Coaching plays a part, but wins and losses fall mostly on the players. This one falls mostly on Romo and then you can start pointing at other players from there. The coaches would be far down on the list.

Sorry Count, you are a good poster, disagree here. Defense had a chance to stop them plenty of times on the last drive, had em third and long. They could not shut the door. Mannings hair never got messed up and the secondary was god awful. Defense is not good enough right now to stop a quality team.

Yes sir, you are correct.

I don't have much good to say. Let's start with some painful facts.

Wade had never lost on Sunday Night Football until last night. The Cowboys had never lost on September 20th until last night. Not well known and really in the grand scheme of things not really that important, but hopefully it interests someone.

I have never seen a game like that in my life. How do we turn the ball over 4 times, get no takeaways ourselves, and still only lose by 2 points? I've seen games with teams getting a lucky bounce, but 3 of them? The INT off Witten's shoe, the Manningham TD, and then the batted ball still caught on the final drive. We were not meant to win that game for whatever reason.

Barber's quad injury is my biggest concern. I do think Choice will once again fill in nicely, but I hate injuries and the way he went down makes me think it's bad.

Have you ever seen expert fans turn on a player faster than Orlando Scandrick? One bad game by the kid and he goes from fan favorite and Oscan, to he can't play. In truth it was an awful game by the entire secondary and the pass rush isn't helping them at all. 2 games, no sacks, no takeaways. Not good enough by a long shot.

Everyone else is going to throw Romo under the bus. While I am not going to defend him and say it's not his fault I will say I still support him as our QB, and think the rash over reactions to a bad game are stupid. In his PC he took full blame for the loss. No finger pointing. His team will react to that.

I thought the OL played great. The RBs did as well. It is a pity the rest of the team did not come along for the ride.

The stadium is magnificent. I think the crowd was amazing. I loved the noise. I wish NBC had shown the unveiling of the Ring of Honor and the star.

The best thing I can say about last night is it isn't the end of the season. Doesn't matter, I'm not happy.

Nice job Hos on a gloomy day you gave us a little light and hope.

Great post...We can all talk about how bad the secondary was but it comes down to Romo's turnovers. You can't spot a team 14+ points on turnovers and expect to win...maybe Buffalo Bills but not the Giants.

Romo usually bounces back nicely after a bad game....let's hope he trend's upwards.

 

[Hostile]

I did? I said I didn't have much good to say and wasn't happy.

I love Barber but he's an injury we actually can afford, Choice will be fine in his place and Felix should see some more carries if Barber can't play which is probably not a bad thing

 

[hutru01]

Run the ball, throw high percentage passes and focus on creating mis-matches. It's not rocket science.

Yeah, tell that to Jason Garrett, see if he listens.

Funny how we ran the ball down their throats on the previous series before Romo just lofts the ball in the air like a rookie quarterback. That was just nuts! Then we run the ball effectively again! Go figure!

Less Romo is an understatement.

Yeah, why play Felix anyhow? I mean he only averaged 13+ ypc last night....

 

[ScipioCowboy]

The three fluke bounces -- all leading to huge plays by the Giants -- was indeed bizarre. It's almost as if a higher power is trying to send us a message of some sort.

Perhaps the message is that our team simply isn't very good.

Romo does not have the mental capacity/toughness/drive to get a ring. He is just happy getting paid a lot of money and the chicks that come with the gig. Romo is one of those "it's not whether you win or lose but how you play the game" types. He would have never made it under Lombardi. And he will never get a Lombardi. Romo is content with losing.

While it is no the end of the season, it is the beginning of the end. You can't cheer a team to the superbowl. You need a QB with drive to get there.

I am more suprised at Newman stinking it up last night, Scandrick is young and will have growing pains.

they both looked lost last night,give the Giants WR credit for solid routes,but Cmon were in the Pros here!

I'm down on Romo simply because he promised he wasn't going to make stupid mistakes anymore,so what makes us think it wont continue just because he took blame last night. I get it at least he looked concerned and piseed<but enough already!

cant trust this team, they build you up and then break your spirit

Over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over and over, and over again.
