As the Cowboys begin their annual Dec swoon Romo starts having to carry the team which has led to his 39 Dec/Jan turnovers. He's had 12 turnovers in his 7 playoff/elimination games.

The defense this past game made a few key stops in the redzone that should've allowed for us to make it a game. We never did. The offense was worse than the defense IMO. The defense gave up about a touchdown more than they usually do. The offense scored about 3 TD's less than they usually do.

This defense can't get off the field on 3rd down and has a non-existent pass rush. They are getting more exposed by the week and are by far and away the weak link on this team.

The offense played it's worst game of the season Thursday.

It was still a game going into that 4th quarter. This team knows its in no position to only have 10 points and win games. They know this. Its no secret.

Again, the offense had a bad game. The key word being "A".

If you are trying to spin it that this team's problems and potential limits to how far they can go rest on the offense then you are wrong, plain and simple.

The offense puts up points nine times out of ten. Enough points to win. This defense is the problem and if you watched the game Thursday then you'd know that they had no business even being on the same football field as that college offense.

Most of the trolls can't see it, they have a huge percentage of the site on ignore leaving themselves basically babbling in the wind. Ol' ufc is basically a virtual Helen Keller at this point, talking to himself as the world keeps turnin'...

The pot calling the kettle black. How cute.

And again and again and again you can't consistently rely on how we attack defenses with our passing game.

You can consistently impose your will in the run game but you can't do it in the passing game. It takes some creativity.

When the Cowboys figure that key thing out then sky is the limit.

We can't sit here forever waiting for the perfect team to assemble. The coaches need to step up for a change.

I'm not trying to spin anything. I'm saying this past Thursday, the offense was worse than the defense. We know we can't afford that. Not a spin or anything like that. Just need the offense to get on track and put up more than 10 points is what i'm saying.

I swear, this is just like summer. :) Same people coming out and complaining. Sure was real quite when Dallas was 6-1 and you all were on his jock.

Ain't that the truth.

A familiar stench has come back to the forum.

I'm sure they were frustrated with all the winning and outstanding run game and QB play. One bad outing will get them smiling though.
You have to remember in all things with Romo---one bad is the same as ten, and vice versa with the good.

This is a team sport and there is too much evidence to suggest Romo is part of the losing as well as the winning.

This is not a team without solutions like years before.

This is a team that just may not be good enough.

Uhhh Geno Smith and EJ Manuel are NOTHING like Russell lol. If they had Russ's elusiveness and speed and smarts they'd probably be starting right now. But then at the end of the day in Geno's case, he's starting for the Jets who have nothing but a overrated Percy Harvin.

Umm...yes sir I know they aren't.

The reference was that Jerry will try and draft the next Wilson and that's what he'll probably end up with.

Think drafting Quincy because he wanted the next McNabb.

Ahhhh....I remember July fondly.....There was a lot of people getting shut down left and right. I thought we all turned a corner....:)

Oh I agree but to insinuate that our offense hasn't been the best unit on this team as some have is ridiculous.

I'm sorry for putting words in your mouth.

I agree that our offense needs to play much better this week.
