Game Day ***Cowboys vs Packers post game thread***

[mldardy]

In general, I like Romo but he can not stop making dumb decisions late in games, never gets corrected!

I do too but he can't handle pressure. The guy shows he can't over and over again. I hat to say that but it is the truth

 

[dupree89]

I dont blame him. The guy just wants to win. Yes he makes some mistakes here and there, but we cant question that he plays hard and gives us a better chance to win. Its other factors that always seem to bring us down.

And you know what...as far as the pro/anti-romo debate.....its a wash. we are stuck with em...

you cant walk off the field. You dont do that to your teammates, coaches or fans. You just cant do it. This was a large mistake and poor judgement.

Murray 18 carries for 134...7 yard per carry average...but of course, Dallas need to throw the ball 48 times...Garrett just basically called out Romo for changing the plays from runs to pass on the last two drives...Hey Jason, your the HC...tell his butt to run the plays you call or bench him if he won't...

This is why I've been calling JG a weasel. He's the HC. If JG absolutely wanted Romo to run the play that was called, you tell Romo to do so. No checking out of the play. No ifs and buts.

I'd bet run may have been called but Romo still had the option to check out and now JG is throwing Romo under the bus.

the 2nd worst part about this game was that Dallas had a chance to knock the Packers out of the playoffs. watch them go on a run and win the super bowl now.

 

[Plankton]

on NBC, talking about Dez needing to be more accountable and not walk off the field early. Dez shouldn't even get blamed...

They are right - he was wrong to walk off the field.

That being said, this could be the start of the players quitting on the coaching staff.

I agree, just seems like the guy turns stupid in the face of pressure!

 

[ShiningStar]

Can anyone defend Garrett at this point?

 

[Lodeus]

Just like the rest of the team.

maybe your right...but then again maybe he knows that 3/4 of the team isnt doing what they should behind the scenes...i dont know...maybe we will never know. this team is as broken as broken can get...and we still managed to get 7 wins

 

[dupree89]

i hope jerry jones is suffering tonight.

I defend him to the bitter end but he just can't handle it for some reason. Everytime I think he will get it done this time he just doesn't. It's like he cursed with this disease of not handling the pressure.

Agree!!!!!!

 

[dupree89]

meanwhile....lets not totally let demarcus ware, brandon carr and scandrick off the hook. These guys were brutal. Just absolutely brutal.

This is so true, then when the game is not for play off contention, the guy is brilliant.

I am truly unsure if this can be fixed, maybe a coach that gets in his business can better manage this feature of his game but I simply have no answer!

 

[dupree89]

and I am glady Troy Aikman called out Demarcus Ware....saying he is a non-factor.

 

[DWhite Fan]

I keep looking for a solid reason Garrett has his job and Wade got fired...funny, I cannot think of one and, apparently, no one else can either...

 

[BourbonBalz]

Lets predict what the blind Romo homers are going to say about Romo giving away the game with those interceptions

"Global warming caused Romo to throw that INT"

"Obama used a secret gps invisible laser beam that controlled the movement of the ball. It caused the INT"

"The fans screaming caused Romo to throw those 2 interceptions"

"Its not Romos fault.. waah waah"

Did your mother have any children that lived? You are very "special".

If you can't beat a 3rd string QB on a GB team with a suspect defense at HOME, then it is certainly over. So, why even care about this team. Even if they would somehow win the next two, it would be a blowout loss in the first round of the playoffs. I never wanted Garrett here in the first place as an OC let alone HC. Maybe he will finally get canned. Three and a half years too late, but better late than never.

It's draft time.

Maybe not. A lot of these inexperienced guys are essentially not rookies now. If you get Lee and Claiborne back then we have a chance. This game is on the coaches and defense more than anyone else. The offense scored more than enough to win this game. Some complain about the historically bad defense then turn around and complain the offense sucks, the coaches suck, and Romo sucks. GB scored on every possession in the second half.

That doesn't excuse one of Romo's picks but I can also find fault in the play calling that allowed GB to force Tony to hurry. Why not max protect, run the ball and take what you can get and at times force. There's more but the vast majority of this loss is on the defense, then less so on the offense for not running more time off the clock and giving Romo more protection as well as some bad calls, then you can complain about Romo throwing a pick under pressure when he has to make something happen. Romo is not off the hook. One INT was all him and the other likely the WR but his legacy is going to continue to be failure at the end of the game and in December, fair or not, because that is what the uninformed are going to see. Just the surface of the problem. Not fair but it is reality and if he doesn't quickly change that then he'll just be another Danny White is the eyes of many.

i hope jerry jones is suffering tonight.

Why would he? The stadium looked packed.

 

[Jack Burton]

I kind of hope we make it to a playoff game with the Seahawks...I don't think I've ever seen a 70-10 game in the NFL (you can guess who would be on the short end)

I'm not sure what the final score was, but Jimmy's Dolphins got rolled in the playoffs for what would be his final coaching game. That was pretty bad.
