Confession

[Hoov]

So, I was pretty irritated after the game yesterday. I cant say i was angry, not sad either because its not like i beleive they will do anything in the playoffs this year.

I dont know how to state what i was feeling. I had made peace with the realization that the cowboys were not good enough to really compete this year even if they made the playoffs, so i was considering taking a little break.

Then the eagles got whopped by the vikings which caught my attention and then the cowboys were up by 3 scores at the half.

I actually did a dance in the living room and allowed myself to think that the cowboys had at least corrected some things with the defense and had a victory here for sure.

I started to think that the eagles will surely lose to the bears and we would beat the Commanders so that we would have the division won before week 17.

Then watching the second half erode away i just got kind of numb. I knew the defense was falling apart and the only hope was that the offense would keep scoring even if only FG's until time ran out. So because i knew that was the only hope i got frustrated at every incomplete pass by Tony. Then taking that sack and giving the packers great Field position i already knew was another score.

So then i started to get peeved that the offense didnt get more TD in the first half when the D was playing well. Then Tony threw the first pick and i went into an i cant beleive Romo is so sucky mood which was quickly replaced by an I hate Tony mood after the second INT.

So, my apology to the board for posting Tony Romo negativity in nearly every thread i opened as it was possibly a bit overboard and especially if anyone felt i was venting at them which was not my intention.

That does not change the truth about my feelings, which is that I dont trust Tony to win ballgames consistently and would welcome a change at the position just to see something new instead of what seems to be the same cycle over and over again. But i can admit that i have been using the board to vent for the past 24 hours and that is not usually what i do here.

It does seem to have helped a bit though and i am feeling a little better. Hard to say why i got worked up though when the team was already falling to peices other than They just have a way of somehow giving you a breath of hope and then sucking it out again like no other team i have followed.

I have a confession to make...


Other than screaming at the TV for the morons, err I mean cowboys, to run the ball from about halfway through the 2nd quarter, I really had no emotional reaction to this game.


In fact, I think I'm gonna do my wife a solid and clear out all my cowboys shirts and jerseys from the closet and make more room for all her crap. That will be her christmas present.

 

[Mr Cowboy]

I will watch and root for my Cowboys every game, no matter what. But the reality is that I would not be one bit upset if they get beat, or even abused in the last two games. Perhaps that would mean a new coaching staff and renewed hope. Lord knows I have absolutely no hope if things remain as they are now.

Put Romo on the Chiefs and they're a Super Bowl favorite. Put Alex Smith on the Cowboys and they're 3-13. Fix the D, then watch how many games we win and see how much love Romo gets. Our franchise QB is NOT the problem. Ask the 2012 Saints.

Confession; yesterday's loss was like having your longtime pet die right before your eyes. True story.

I agree about Tony. This years Chiefs and Saints are living examples of what getting a good head coach, or geting him back in the Saints case, can do for a team.

The sad part is that we could have had Reid this past offseason.

romo on the chiefs and they still arent super bowl favorites...nor would they be favorites to win the afc...but yes, they would be better than they are now

Agreed. I hate to say it. They have to miss playoffs and Garrett has to get fired. Otherwise we make playoffs, Garrett stays and here we will be this time next year talking about the same stuff as this year, last year etc.

 

[Clove]

I will never apologize for having an opinion no matter how many people disagree. You see, I was born with my own brain, I pay my own bills, I live life how I want to. And I don't have to justify myself to not only this board, but to anyone but whom I choose. Even if I'm the only one on the planet that dislikes Romo, that's fine by me.

I disagree. They are doing just fine with Alex Smith. He protects the ball, plays within himself, and can run if nobody is open. Romo is a disaster waiting to happen.

Being asked to do too much. The D just needs to stop someone. All year, Romo has had zero margin for error.

It's funny that's the only differences he can come up between the two, but that's what he does.

There's no need to apologize, really. Everyone is venting and it's really just therapy. I am starting to feel a bit better too, and I'm hoping that when Wednesday rolls around I'll have changed from not wanting us to try to make the playoffs.

It's not Romo, and in that game it was not the defense.

It's the head coach.

He will never get it done on this level.
In college he would be amazing.
I feel the same way about some of the Commanders coaches...so don't think I am just being a jerk.

IT isn't the D? They gave up 34 points in the second half. IN THE SECOND HALF. This D is killing us and creating situations where every bad play on O makes a huge difference.

That game.

The offense should have drained the clock after the first half. The D is not good enough to withstand that for a full game.

Not the D in that game.

34 points in a half and it aint the d? Headscratching logic there

OP there is no need for you to apologize. The numbness you speak of is common for me, and many others as well I imagine. I still want to see this team do well, but when they do what they did yesterday it doesnt move me much as far as any emotion. Its like GroundHog Day. Its nothing new. I just sit and stare at the TV screen almost in a fog of acceptance. Im like one of Pavlov's dogs when it comes to this team and this team is the hotplate for my paw.

 

[Dodger12]

The problem with yesterday is how the team lost after dominating the first half and taking a commanding lead. This after the Eagles got their ***** handed to them by Minny and everything looked almost perfect, for the first half of the game. I can handle the blow outs like Chicago; I got up the next day, went to work and didn't give it a whole lot of thought. But this one yesterday is not sitting well with me. I want blood and I want Garrett's head on a platter with the rest of these coaches. Jerry and Stephen's too, for that matter. I despise what they've done to this franchise with their epic, never before seen, losses.

Sadly, you'll learn to handle these losses just like the blowouts w/o getting too worked up. Its the only way to cope as long as Jerry and Company stay the same. If Red is back next year prepare yourself for 2 of these next season. He seems to be good for 2 of these games a season.
