I like how JJ Watt after the game refused to give Romo any credit for being a deceptively slippery dude when he wiffed on the sack. Instead, he talks about how teams double him and give him extra attention which causes those things to happen blah blah. He's definitely the best defensive lineman in the league, but it would be nice to show a sense of humor JJ. Watch him rush the QB even if the team is in a power I formation. He never plays the run. He's all about the sacks.

He said that was a great play..great pro. They get paid too. I screwed up. That's what I heard him say.

This makes no sense at all dude, what exactly is your point?

My point is simple, Bailey has missed some big kicks and I hope that that is not a trend going forward...........never said he sucks or needs replacing and frankly don't know what is so controversial about this statement. The kicker from Indy was the most accurate kicker in NFL history and all of a sudden he started missing kicks and it snowballed on him so yes, kickers can get into a slump and my point was that I hope Bailey does not get into a slump after missing some big kicks last year.

And for the record, Baily was 15th in kicking percentage last season...........not exactly "money" so saying that I hope he doesn't get into a slump is controversial or some how funny?

Bailey is a career 89% in FG's. 25-29 in 2014. He missed 1 under 40yds, 2 under 50 yds, and 2 over 50.

He's currently #2 in career field goal percentage among K's. Cut him! o_O

That 15th percent is a deceptive stat, and slightly wrong. 13th actually. The Cowboys didn't even attempt a FG under 20 yards last year. (That to me is amazing in itself) Lots of teams stall and make short kicks.

New England attempted 22 under 40 yards. Of the 12 teams ahead of the Cowboys, only 2 attempted more kicks over 50 yds. And the top 3 combined for only 7 attempts. Bailey was 5-7. and had the third longest field goal of the year at 56.

Yep...he was on a 30-something in a row streak before that miss. Amazing, isn't it.

Please point out where I said he should be cut or replaced.

Tony went for the big play again in that situation. Game on the line, your star WR only sees a press man look a handful of times throughout the game.

That is what legends are made of, trust your franchise WR and give him a chance to win the game. Champions don't lay up.

You're very much mistaken. IMHO there is not a more complete defensive lineman in the league. There isn't a player on our roster I wouldn't trade for him straight up

I heard a guy on Philly radio this afternoon says he trust Chip with the QB move he's made with Bradford and he doesn't trust Jerry Jones because he would never have given Tony Romo the contract he has. The radio host said "Romo has thrown for over 45,000 yards in this league". The caller said, "he hasn't won a playoff game ... Philly would run him out of town." :facepalm:

That's how good we were in the red zone. Having Dez and that running game is as close to automatic as it gets, and Bailey had very few chip shots as a result. These are all the drives that got inside the opponent's 23-yard line that resulted in either a TD or a <40-yard FG, among the top 10 offenses in points per drive.

%TD / % FG
Cowboys 73/27
Saints 72/28
Packers 68/32
Broncos 68/32
Patriots 64/36
Ravens 64/36
Dolphins 64/36
Colts 63/37
Steelers 62/38
Seahawks 60/40
