Callahan Called The Ultimate Bus Driver's Game

[1LoyalCowboyFan]

Because of the injury to romo I can't imagine any scenario where they stay back and double Dez honestly.

I imagine they make romo prove he can throw the ball and blitzed the hell out of him.

Hopefully we pick it up and make them pay with big plays to Dez and Dunbar.

I would like that as I have Dez on my fantasy team lol

 

[theebs]

Lol I know, I was just trying to be nice and not single him out by himself. Though, maybe he does have a mouse in pocket. *shrug*

I don't know about a mouse in his pocket but there are certainly bats in the belfry.

Zing!!!

Way to miss the point....

I think my point was we won, we did win, so i win twice, and thats win win.

 

[cowboys1981]

I've never heard of so much complaining after a win. This is ridiculous. Despite all of the yards, points scored or allowed, what matters is the final score. Dissecting a game with numbers can be left to the experts, not those pretending to be.

 

[CF74]

Well anywho I'm hoping Dunbar, Austin, and Harris can pick up the slack this week and take those 5 yard hand offs and run 20+ yards, if not to the house..

That will help our situation tremendously. Dunbar is the one who will really make teams pay if given the opportunity, hoping he gets healthy soon...

Uh no Beavis, the point of the thread.

$108 Million Bus Driver is my primary complaint. Then u have 6 extra opportunities with minimal results. The Giants always seem to give us fits these days at home so the bright side is we won but it's not looking so good offense wise down the stretch...

Down the stretch?

It's week 1.

 

[zrinkill]

But anybody who still defends Romo is just a straight up homer these days....

Anyone who cannot see that Romo is a good QB is just straight up football obtuse.

Not sure what the point of the thread was but the key noun was Callahan. Why is it Romo's fault for the conservative game plan. Every Qb in the playoffs lost last year (except Flacco) and they ultimately were unable to bring their team back from a deficit to move on and thus failed at some point. We were behind in every game last year and fortunately had Romo to bring us back most of the time against the odds. We finally had a chance to play with a lead this year and we played conservative to preserve the win. WTH

-Fail

The point of the thread was to attack Romo...nothing more.

The only fail was opening the thread and not having you on ignore...YET

Based on the commentary I'm guessing that mouse is a flask of Beam

We only got 3 points off the 1st 3 turnovers and two turnovers resulted in 2 defensive TD's, that leaves one turnover for the offense to score on. Your math is wrong, we didn't get 24 offensive points off 6 turnovers, we squandered them for the most part....

-Next

So...the offense is supposed to somehow score points off of turnovers that the defense already scored on? Riiiiight....

Uhm no dude if you were following the thread the previous poster said Romo scored 24 points off 6 turnovers...

-Blind homers

 

[Wolf2k5]

There were far to many plays where Romo had all the time in the world and did little to nothing. But anybody who still defends Romo is just a straight up homer these days....

Ugh. So tired of rehashed bs with zero knowledge. It's getting irritating. Go trade for Payton in your madden franchise then....

 

[iceberg]

Basically they played it close and short to deal with the Giants pass rush but the defense clearly saved that game for us..

Romo averaged only 5.37 yards per attempt in Sunday's season-opening win over the New York Giants, the lowest average of any victory during his career.

This was only the second time in his career that the Cowboys won with Romo averaging fewer than 6 yards per attempt. (Thank-you Defense)

“I think we were patient,” offensive coordinator Bill Callahan said. “I think that the way that the defense played in the game, we played complementary football.” (Complementary? Translation - Bus Driver Game Plan)

With the Cowboys playing with a lead essentially the entire game, the Dallas passing game was pretty much a dink-and-dunk operation all night.
(You mean as opposed to running the ball more? No it was dink and dunk from the get go.)

Only two of Romo’s 49 throws traveled at least 20 yards, neither of which he completed. By comparison, Romo averaged 4.6 such down field shots per game last season. (And one of them fell out of the sky like a dove drilled with buck shot on opening day of bird hunting season.)
Here's some sunshine for ya folks:

“I think we’re a pretty explosive offense and have been for a long time,” said tight end Jason Witten, who caught eight passes for 70 yards and two touchdowns. “I do think that was a good thing, what we did the other night. We knew their pass rush was going to be good and we talked about underneath throws, finding ways to stay ahead of the down and distance. I think that’s the reason why we had 74 plays in that 37 minutes of offense, was because we took what they were giving us.

“There’s going to be times for big strikes. Any time you have the opportunity to throw it up to 88, you’re going to have a chance to come down with it. I think we’re going to have plenty of the big play.”

this the same D that couldn't stop the giants when it mattered?

it was a team effort. it was ugly. it was a lot of things.

but it was one single god **** game, not our entire future.

got i hate the IGS.

 

[sbark]

Callahan called a bus driver game?.............I thought Romo changed virtually every call with audibles?

 

[Kevinicus]

Uhm no dude if you were following the thread the previous poster said Romo scored 24 points off 6 turnovers...

-Blind homers

Uh no dude, you implied the team didn't do much with 6 turnovers, when the fact is they got 24 pts, which was pointed out to you. Then you said the defense scored on 2 so it didn't apply to the offense...but you stuck to the 6 number, as if the offense should have got more out of the turnovers they had no opportunity with. If you're going to limit things to the offense, then stop using the 6 and use the 4.

Really, does having an agenda mess with the logic/reasoning part of the brain that much?

 

[SDCowboy]

Oh, a CowboyFan74 thread...

 

[CF74]

Whaaaa!!! Stop picking on Romo!!!

 

[dooomsday]

Now Im no football genius who can watch Romo go 8-8 while folding in the biggest game of the year and a few months later completely block that out and talk about how lucky we are to have him solely based on stats vs bad teams and his meaningless 4th quarters like an astute football mind, BUT;

Im pretty sure if you are taking what the D gives you, you are playing into their game plan by NOT doing what they dont want you to. .A 105 million dollar QB we are lucky to have should dictate what we do, not visa versa. O has the advantage. By rules, by forward motion, but knowing what they are doing; while the D doesnt. You may as well substitute being fooled with taking what they gave us. If not for the D we get crushed and Eli out plays Romo by a lot.

And for the record, since Romo choked in the last game of last year, the advantage in the argument is now with the non homers who were proven correct.... until such time as he proves otherwise.

And guess what? I can criticize the approach and Im still glad we won! : - p
