For those automatically assuming Romo is back vs MIA keep in mind that they play 4 days later on Thanksgiving. Should we really expect a player coming off a broken collarbone to play 2 games in 5 days and do it effectively? I bet we don't see him until the holiday.

Good Point !!!!

And yet the coaches are held totally blameless.............at least that is what the weekly Garrett fan club tells me..........just after yet another loss.

Just curious, anybody think Garrett can coach up the team to win one dam game without Romo?..................I highly doubt it at this point.

I don't think that's what the Garrett club really says.

I'm about as big a Garrett supporter as there is. His ST coordinator hasn't fixed the lane control problems on STs, and it cost us a game today.
His WR coach doesn't have guys who are doing enough to make things easy on the QB, either. Whether it's breaking harder to the sidelines or it's getting downfield fast enough after a big play. His DC has players giving up free drives with hands to the face penalties. He's not coaching turnovers, if that's a thing. There's plenty of coaching blame to go around.

That said, the obvious liability is still at the QB position. We're not going to win any games with 3 picks in the second half. And anybody who thinks the issue is play calling, of all things, is smoking crack as far as I"m concerned.

At least we got some run blocking for a full game today.

Romo already said he's playing.

Don't have to, your argument is weak. Last year speaks for itself, it was not a fluke. We were a damn good team!

It was outside the norm, an anomaly, as is born out by the coaches record which is there for everyone to see, an indisputable fact.

I am, of course, hoping that I am proven wrong over the rest of the season.

Not having OScan is really hurting us as well. We needed some turnovers to counteract ours.
Scandrick is a good player, not a great player. No reason this defense can't adequately replace him. There are dozens of hurt scandricks on other teams that are doing just fine.

our special teams miss harris. Should of kept him.

The fact that Beasley is still returning punt is beyond comprehension... coming into tonights game... 6 punt returns for 26 yards.... add in tonight 8 for 33.... and a fumble. Didn't Randy Gregory catch a punt to end training camp???

Are you serious?? That was his first return TD of the season..and i could almost bet it was his last..

Did you see the size of the hole he went through untouched?? Almost any player could have took that one to the house..i say almost because im sure beasley couldnt..lol

Im just trying to maje the point that fans here seem to make alot of knee jerk reactions..harris isnt all that..
The powers avobe just wanted the Giants to win..is it me, or do they have unveliebeable luck sometimes..
It almost looks scripted the way the cowboys lost...

One of the few bright spots is that the team actually looks to be trying something different on offense such as the plays with Lucky Whitehead. Maybe the coaches figure they actually have to bring an offensive gameplan with no Romo and Dez and we can no longer out talent other teams. I hope to see more of it next game.

At least I don't have to listen to Bryan Broaddus and Mickey Spagnola talk about the Coaching Staff doesn't trust Lucky Whitehead to return punts and how Beasley is better because he'll at least catch the ball.:clap:

Cassell threw interceptions, but at least he moved down the field. This game was very winnable if not for a Dwayne Harris 100 yard return and then Cole Beasley dropping the punt.

And RunDmc getting his beautiful td pass robbed from him.

Seattle and Philadelphia are both 3-3 I believe.

They aren't that good either.

Unfortunately Dez probably won't play next week so probably another loss.

1 season out of 5 with a winning record does call into question the direction of the organization and team.
