I was very disappointed to hear him calling for Bledsoe to be benched and Romo to be started and that TO wasn't a problem.

Oh boy.

After all this rhetoric from Irvin last year when Keyshawn had his sideline discussion with Bledsoe and Irvin said you should never critizize your teammates and especially your QB.

So Irvin comes out and openly critizizes Bledsoe and calls for more offense with TO and that TO is not the problem and basically being a TO apologist.

Says Romo should be the QB.

I think Mike found that crack pipe in his car again.

I couldn't beleive he was taking sides like that.

But then, Irvin has been consistantly inconsistant throut his life.

I appreciate some of his insights at times, but he was off the edge today.

Jimmy Johnson said the about same thing on the Fox Pre Game. Said "Bledsoe was a statue back there".

I think Parcells is almost waiting until he has no alternative but to bench Bledsoe, like say an injury, the reality fellas is that he has played as if in a funk, I think it requires some more patience. I'd give him atleast until the Carolina game to prove himself, if he is throwing blanks the first half of that contest then I would probably agree that it is time to make an adjustment at halftime.

Like I said before Bledsoe is as overcooked as a Thanksgiving Turkey served on Christmas Day.

Its taken awhile...

But alot of people are seeing the same thing...

Bledsoe isnt the answer......

cant read defenses.....isnt accurate as some thought...has no pocket presence.....is a statue....and folds under pressure.

most people in the media are asking for Romo so im not surprised with Irvin saying we need to make a change, and many here agree with him. the bad thing is that the only opinion that matter is Parcells and he could care less what the fans and media want

How can you say that Mike is on the crack pipe. Remember Irvin was a Cowboy but now works for ESPN. Bledsoe is not his team mate nor his QB. It's his job to say what he believes to be true. There are parts of the playbook that Dallas is not able to use because Bledsoe can not throw on the move. Bledsoe missed some wide open guys today against a sorry team. So don't be upset when someone speaks the truth.

hmmmmm....Bledsoe looked pretty good to me in the second half.

Okay, first off let me say that all of us were thinking 'Here we go again' as the 1st half wore on. The Texans sucessfully pressured Drew & he responded faithfully by throwing erratically.

Thanks to an outstanding halftime adjustment, we actually decided to take advantage of (what I'm sure was obvious to most of us here from the get go) the way our receivers match up against their DB's.

It obviously worked but Bledsoe's erratic throws continued. Look at the missed, wide open TD toss to Glenn in the front corner of the end zone that he threw completely over the wrong shoulder. Gimme a break! Aaron Brooks would've made that throw.

I can recall at least two passes to TO that he had to make an excellent adjustment on to catch. Way bad throws. I'm sure there were other cases of where our excellent receivers made tough catches due to poor throws. And let's not forget, we we're playing the Texans in our house.
God only knows what may have happened against a better team in theirs.

He also had Witten wide open down the seam for another td that he missed on.

Julius Peppers has 8 sacks as of the 6th week... Peppers will probably have 15 sacks by the 9th week after they play Dallas.

hmmmmmm...yeah its funny how that can happend when you get the ball on your opponents 35 or better 3 times in a row, your two running backs are getting chunks of yards on every carry, and to top it all off you are playing one of the worst defenses in the NFL. Sorry, that second half did not impress me at all.

Irvin promotes T.O. because T.O. makes Irvin look like a better human being. Irvin is a crackhead with a big mouth, and he needs T.O. to stay in Dallas and become a bigger, more pitiful human being than Micheal Irvin. The worse T.O. behaves, the better Irvin feels about himself.
