Sorry havent been posting last few days, still moving, and just about got it all done, but dont have internet, tv, water, and phone hooked up yet. So, have to do posting when I have time to post elsewhere. Should be settled in by next monday for sure. Congrats to the 2 new moderators, you deserved it guys.
Now on to my analysis of the game.
This is the type of game in my estimation that brings a team together, true leadership works, and even though a sloppy game, its the type of game that you win building confidence, while certain players work through errors and produce.
First we will discuss Tony Romo, who finally has arrived, but basically showed that last game against the 49ers, when Romo gutted it out and played with pain to help win the game. That in itself, showed the players who the true leader was on this team, which the QB must be that leader. What you saw in the Cowboys Commanders game was the further development of Tony Romo taking the next step in leadership. By that I mean, (and yeah I will probably hear some people that relays to his golf stuff in offseaon, or wearing his cap on straight or yelling at his teammates), when Romo chewed on teammates during the game, even in Romo's press conference, we all saw where Romo said players were getting yelled at by Romo and coaches, but they fought through. Thats the mark of leadership, getting in a players face, while your hurt yourself, and making that player step up.
Not once during Romo's press conference did I hear Tony talk about golf, not once. This is dallas cowboys football and wins, nothing else matters period. Got that golf lovers?
Wearing your cap on straight, really doesnt mean anything, expect that your focused and ready for the game and questions after the game, which is something that Romo needed to be aware of and focused on in certain situations. Last time I have seen great QB leaders like Roger Staubach, Bradshaw, Aikman, and Brady, they are focused during the game and after the game, it isnt just fun to them, but a way of life and they are determined to get things fixed for the next game with all the erros cowboys players had, even romo pointed to this during his post game remarks.
Forget Ogletree, this guy is not focused and learned, when your star elite QB now has to get on a player that has been in league 3 years now, its time to move on. Give Robinson WR a chance, or go get another WR, you have to keep sending that message to the team, that your not going to put up with mental mistakes and lack of attitude like Ogletree shows.
Yes, I posted Costa podcast remarks awhile earlier this morning with podcast from Gurode giving Costa some points, so go look for that.
This is the type of game I love, dont know why Hos needs tums, I loved this game all except the dumb ref calls and errors by the Cowboys.
I dont know why the refs were calling holding calls on us, but not the Commanders, when obvious they were holding and tackling, thats just stupid on the refs parts. Thats why I have said over and over, I want a NFL Ref league where the refs are made accountable and they are basically on same page. Just like when our wr was layed out, with a delay hit, but when ball hit a Commander player foul. For cotton picking crying out loud, that STINKS from the refs, sure looked like favortism to me. I agree with Ware, I would be pissed off too. I dont want to see those refs covering any more of our games at all, PERIOD!
Finally, we got a running game going, and Felix played tough too with that shoulder injury, but thats what key players do. Finally, some leaders are stepping up.
Like Hos said, all those fans that hollered at the cowboys drafting Lee, eat your crow.
Brooking is getting to old now, I loved him when he played first couple of years, but I am starting to feel that age is showing up on him big time.
Hats off to Romo, bailey (you had better get yourself ready to play beuhler or your looking at a new job somewhere), Lee, Felix, Witten, Ware and Spencer.
This team is showing grit, and why is that, due to leaders I mentioned above and tough style coaching of Jason Garrett.
Fixing to post jerry jones recap.
Exactly buddy!
And its just not that romo played with broken ribs and punched lung. Dont forget the yelling at his teammates on field of play, something that romo didnt normally do, but just on sidelines. I feel that when a player messes up, chew his rear end out, right there, so that player realizes your not gonna accept that kind of behavior. If you dont correct it there, player gets into his head, thats acceptable.
