Chicago
Minnesota
Buffalo
Washington (1st time)
Detroit
Anyone wanna guess the common denominator on that one?
This is what I've been saying for sooooo long. Romo can't throw the out route, the curl routess, his arm is not strong enough. So why don't we throw more slants, more passes to the RBs, I thought Redball was a genius.Reality;2328742 said:Sorry to make a thread about this but I've been irritated about this for three weeks now.
The Cowboys are not throwing the ball downfield like they used and even when they do, they are waiting on curl routes to the sidelines and comeback routes. Those kinds of plays greatly increase the chance for an interception because it gives the defensive backs a great look at the ball and they take twice as long in the pocket to complete.
Garrett and Romo, for whatever reason, are afraid of throwing the ball downfield unless they see 5+ yards of separation and they will not see that very often with the current group of receivers.
THAT is why TO is not getting any passes and that is why teams are crowding the line of scrimage. This is exactly what the Giants did to us in the playoffs and what the Commanders did against the Cowboys to beat them.
At some point, you have to man up and get aggressive like they USED to be.
Oh, and the defense needs to learn to wrap-up when they tackle rather than just hit them hard.

Like when the Giants lost 41-14 to Minnesota last year they had no shot?dbair1967;2328896 said:That pretty much is all that needs to be said...what a disgrace
Its only week six folks, and you can almost take it to the bank. This team has no shot at winning a championship.
The defense finally sorta shows up, and the offense, special teams and coaching totally go south. Why the hell with two TO's left would you not use one on that last possession after Owens caught the pass?
The Cards gave up 56 pts and 6 TD passes two weeks ago.
Just pathetic.
Player of the half is clearly Patrick Crayton.
