When Romo was healthy we were 2-0.

they were 1-0... and had no business winning that Giants game if Eli/Coughlin didn't have a brainfart and managed the clock like they should have.

I'll give you the defense was suffocating Philly in week 2. But other than that, we've just seen bad football.

able to win with back up QBs yes Weeden should have never been signed. But ok game plan for him. but understand the coaches never accounted for the bad WR play, and that was evident that the coaches should have seen that. Did i have a problem with Weeden, no, i dont blame the players fully. To a point. Was Cassel the same, slighty better, but nothing that i would have said he really beat out Weeden. The same thing applied tho, game plan for the Qb not for a win. the win will come if the team can execute.

I feel after the bye, i have to lay more at Garretts feet. This game was the season.

I can remember being in my car driving home from work and hearing the news that Harris had signed with the Giants in free agency. I said to myself right then and there he would return one on us and he did.

Beasley's muffed punt didn't cost us the game, it cost us a chance to have an opportunity to tie. The picks and the return I put well ahead of the punt fumble.

With the QB play we have seen this year you really get to see how Romo is able to make C+ talent into B to B+ talent on those role players that fill the roster. With lesser QB's those players revert back to C+ and just aren't consistent enough game over game.

It's really a shame. We've been in every game since went Romo went down and I just feel we've given them all away. D played well today and it frustrates me because Eli did jack crap today but that booger faced dope gets a W dropped into his lap.

I've said it since romo went down
Garrett got his get out of jail free card
He will make no substantive changes and will spit clap his way to next season

We wasted the career of a great QB to try and "teach" a HC who will never be more than mediocre

Excellent post. Wish I could like this more than once.

The Giants had no business being in that game if it wasn't for turnovers by Dallas. Talent wise it's a mis match and Dez didn't even finish that game.

Giants had no business being in this game.

This is getting rough.

I know you guys want to make it all about Romo, but I'm sorry. Up 28-14 against Atlanta, you should win that game. On the road at New Orleans, you should give your offense a chance in overtime. Today, pick 6..kick return for TD. This stuff isn't Romo, it's incompetence from the staff to the players. This team should be 5-1 without Romo

That's my point. Romo often was able to cover up all the stink we see on full display.

Again, only mods can start new threads. I guess this is a thing around here 4 hrs after every game?

Talent doesn't matter if you play sloppy, mistake-bound football. And we've seen plenty of that this year.

I never said other teams don't win with backup QBs. I said, if they're going to, they have to play better defense. Or take the ball away a few times in the four game span. Or not give up ST scores. Or, early in the string, run block better and curb the offensive penalties. These are things that get teams beat when they're playing with subpar QBs, and our team is not getting it done. But our fans want to excuse the poor team play and try to pretend it's the QB, because that means when Romo comes back, everything is fixed. But that's not what we're seeing right now. We keep playing like this, and we're going to lose close games to good teams when Romo's back, too. And people will blame the QB, probably. But the real problem is likely to be this same stuff that's getting us beat right now.

Somewhat hard to turn it over when throwing downfield less than 5 yards every pass allowing the opposing defense to totally shut down the running game.

Yeah, maybe that happened in between your ears but not in real life. But since all of the Cassel sunshine-pumpers had selective memory about what happened when Weeden played, I'm not surprised they are doing same thing in hyping up Cassel. Keep on living in your fantasy world, it's probably better than out here...
