Twitter: Cowboys Postgame Comments Roundup

[links18]

Never said I agreed with the play calling, but it was obvious range wasn't the issue.

Your definition of range: How far someone can kick a ball. In which case, the "range" for most NFL kickers is well over 70 yards as witnessed by numerous kick offs that land outside the endzone.

My definition of range in that game situation: The distance at which the odds are greater your kicker will make the FG than miss it.

What do you suppose Garrett's definition is? At any rate, Garrett only thought 56 yards was "close to" Bailey's range, but he tried it anyway.

I just wonder when will JG take a chance and be aggressive for a change?
Any wrinkles , trick plays .. Hello?

Like the 56 yard field goal ,was a ripe moment for taking a shot at fake, even if didn't succeed we cud hav got a few more yards and May or my not have a first down, but atleast we would make the opposition wonder.

(At the same time I believe the correct call is punt and down it inside 10 yards.. But our punter was atrocious y'day)

Tony Romo: "Our football team is a close-knit group of people who will go back to work and learn from the mistakes each one of us made."


And how many times has Romo said this after a game?

Too many times to count. I am numb to anything anyone from the organization says. I have heard it too many times after each sloppy loss. And when the leader of the organization says this two weeks after a big speech by Hatcher to get everyone to focus on the season, I wonder if anyone in that locker room even has a pulse. Tired of all the talk and tired of all of the sloppy, unfocused performances. If you are a season ticket holder I really feel for you.

His comment was confusing because I thought he got a stinger.

He hurt his back on the first series. But the stinger from the previous game was not bothering him.

Jerry Jones: "It was very disappointing. ...I thought we were thoroughly outplayed in every aspect of the game in the second half." #Cowboys

Tony Romo: "We had a good week of practice. Guys prepared well. They were ready to go." #Cowboys
Tony Romo: "To come out and not play as well as you hoped, it's frustrating, disappointing." #Cowboys
Tony Romo: "Our football team is a close-knit group of people who will go back to work and learn from the mistakes each one of us made."
Tony Romo: "Some good players usually do a good job grabbing jerseys without it being able to be seen. ... [#Chargers] had a few of those."

RT @InsideNFLMedia: "@Chargers QB Philip Rivers looked like Peyton Manning’s twin out there against the Dallas Cowboys." - Michael Irvin

Dez Bryant: "It's not all about me. This is a team. We're going to do what we need to do...and we're going to get better." #Cowboys

Jason Garrett on 56-yd FG try: "We had the wind and we have a lot of confidence in Dan Bailey. We felt like we were real close to his range"
Garrett on Bailey 56yd try: "We felt like it was important to try to take advantage of that opportunity with 1 of the best players we have."
Jason Garrett on Philip Rivers: "He threw the ball as well as he's thrown it in a long, long time. He made a lot of plays." #Cowboys

Claiborne: "It was a very hard day. They hit a couple plays all over the field but obviously they found more over there on the right side."

Bruce Carter: "I could have done a lot better on some of my coverages, staying on top. There are no excuses. Its my fault. I take all that."

#Cowboys WR Terrance Williams: "I felt like I was having a pretty good game. I was just trying to make a play at the end."

Jason Hatcher: "We've got the right guys. We've got the right team. ... We're going to keep playing for each other. It'll break for us."
Jason Hatcher on Peyton Manning: "We've got, hands down, the best quarterback in the league coming in here. He's a scientist out there."
Jason Hatcher on facing Peyton Manning: "We've got to shake this one off quick. If not, we're going to go out there and get embarrassed."

Brandon Carr: "They beat us in every phase. We were always a step too late. They always checked into the right play call to burn us..."

DeMarcus Ware said he didn't miss time b/c of his neck. "I didn't have any neck problems. I just didn't play the game I needed to play."

Romo's got the player speak down pat....probaly could run last years post game comments after the Seattle loss and get the same answers.

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

And how many times has Romo said this after a game?

Many times. He pretty much says the same thing after every loss. I'm not sure really what else he can say & still tow the company line.

Hatcher said basically the same thing. And both Witten and Ware have also echoed similar sentiments in the past, yet it is now Romo speak? Every well coached team first player would say the same.

Never said I agreed with the play calling, but it was obvious range wasn't the issue.

I think that range has a make ability quotient to it, every PK has the range to kick a ball 60-70 yds.... (see below) but few have 56 yard FG's within their range. In any case, it's just semantics, as you pointed out. I still think that it was a typical Garrett put the pressure on the defense /special teams job rather than doing the right thing.

Your definition of range: How far someone can kick a ball. In which case, the "range" for most NFL kickers is well over 70 yards as witnessed by numerous kick offs that land outside the endzone.

It's not just Romo, they all do this. Ware, Witten says the same things as well. It sounds good, is the "right" thing to say but I always wonder if they honestly believe what they're saying.

The way the Cowboys played in second half, I don't think that missed field goal attempt has much of bearing on outcome of the game.
