Big D...Big Denial??

[Brandon4Cowboys]

When will the Cowboys become like every other team and hire a real General Manager? Ever since the flameout with Jimmy Johnson, this team has been on a downward spiral. Sure the 13-3 season a few years ago was nice, but we saw the real Tony Romo in action come the playoffs. What is it with mediocrity being the acceptable norm at Valley Ranch? Before this season, I was hoping to see Tony play similar to and with as much passion as Aikman and Staubach. What do we get? We get more mediocre play. Jerry Jones is the king of bad quarterback decision making. Notice coach Peter Griffin aka Wade never chastises Romo for his inconsistancies. He's just another mouth piece for Jerry's boy. I don't know whether to bask in how sorry Romo is, or puke. All I know is, he's Jerrah's creation. And the ego can never admit failure. It's time to find a real General Manager, a real QB, and a real coach not named Garrett. Don't let Jerrah's big stadium fool you...it's the house that MEDIOCRITY built. And it won't be seeing Cowboy playoff games until there is drastic change at the very top.

You want an honest answer?

 

[Bleu Star]

We'll get a real GM when Jerry finally steps down and let's Stephen take over. Until then it's Yes men soup all day everyday.

well, waaah

I try to be fair, Tony did not play a bad game against the giants.

What?

That was his worst game of the year and is the game that is making him look like some kind of piker.

I often wonder if people really watch the games. This is why.

 

[Tusan_Homichi]

Well, this is an original take.

My friend, I flew out to Dallas Sunday morning, last minute to watch Tony Romo throw to the fricken Giants.

So your post is wrong.



Now, if you want to say, Tony still put up 31 points, in spite of playing poorly. Then that would make a little more sense.

Considering he threw 3 picks,one of which was a pick 6.I'm pretty confident the Giants were pleased with his performance.

Yep. Romo's performances against Buffalo two years ago, Pittsburgh last year, the Giants three weeks ago and Denver last week were the worst performances of his career. He usually puts lots of time between awful performances, but this year they're coming closer together. I want the old Tony back. He made mistakes, but the good outweighed the bad.

The Cowboys have lost to two undefeated teams by a total of eights points, both in the last second. If Romo get back on track, there's hope, guys.

I don't know that I want the old Romo back,but I dont think the current model has much to offer though.If Romo could find a median between the two I would be happy,improvise but yet play with control.He needs to utilize his skillset and quit trying to be Tom Brady or Brett Favre because he is not.He just needs to go out there and be Tony Romo and have fun.I don't know what is the exact problem with Romo is,but I hope he gets it turned around.

I'm still hoping his December melt down came early this year and we rally down the stretch and carry it into the post season...:starspin :lombardi:

Dude, did you even watch that game against the Giants in 07???

Romo throws a strike to Crayton who had a break-away TD that would have won the game for us and the mother dropped it.

Romo then comes back and after driving the team down the field, he spots Crayton in one on one coverage. At the snap, Romo looks off the safety and throws a perfect lob pass to the back corner of the endzone for what would have been one of the best come from behind victories in franchise history.

One problem....after totally blowing past the DB and having an open lane to the endzone, Crayton pulls up at the 3 yard line and the ball lands perfectly in the back corner of the end zone. If Crayton would have not stopped, the ball would have hit him in stride for the winning TD.


Crayton with 2 huge mistakes that cost the team a playoff win. So if you want to nail somebody to the cross for that game, Crayton is your man. That game is why a large number of fans hate Crayton and want him off the team.

So saying that Romo showed his true colors that game destroyed any credibility your post had. Romo did everything he could to win that game and if Crayton doesnt commit 2 huge blunders, we are hosting the NFC Championship Game the following week.

...feel your pain but it takes more than one man to win a game...the touchdown given up a few seconds before halftime by the defense factored heavily in the loss as well...

...you want Crayton off the team? fine...but the next time Romo throws two picks with no pressure on him maybe someone might want him off the team as well...

Is the problem Romo execution or Jasons play calling? With a 74.1 passer rating...I'm pointing at Romo.

Everyone is blaming Jason...but Romo right now is 21st in the NFL in the #4 offense in the league.

I want the old Romo. I think they are overcoaching him and he is getting a little paranoid with turning the ball over. I think once you take the fun out of the job, thats all it becomes.

I think they should just let him go out there and play the game. Tony needs to freelance again with his rollouts and make plays happen with his feet.

The turnovers will be higher in beginning, but as time goes on it naturally get better.

That being said, this is FAR from being all tony's fault. The Oline sucks, we do not have WRs with enough experience to run good routes and yes Roy is not even close to being good enough to replace TOs talent (I still think TO needed to go just talking about his skill level), Wade just sucks hard as a head coach with all his excuse making and absent mindedness when it comes to disciplining his players, Garrett is not ready yet to be OC as he has trouble adjusting and does poor job at calling up the right gameplan, injuries to our RBs have hurt us, our lack of blitzing and putting pressure on opposing QBs is killing us, poor tackling, and our DBs inconsistency on the field is just too much.

Yeah, we all hope Romo plays more consistant and on top of his game, but that fixes what?

IMO the fastest way to fix this team is to bring in a real head coach and let him choose his own staff. A real head coach would pull everything together and fix what needs fixed rather than just sounding like "uh duh, I am proud how they fought hard out there and hope they keep doing that" that we seems to always hear from Wade after every loss. Bye week would be perfect time to do it Jerry.

Ok I agree the game should have a fun element for Tony or other players for that matter. But when they are paying Romo 60 million plus it is not with monopoly money or Disney dollars.

That stated Tony is part of our losing equation, but not the sole reason we are struggling. We are 2-2 folks we can still right the ship. In the aggregate Tony and the offense have been productive over the past several years. The defense is starting to gel, let's see what happens the next few games.
