[ologan]

That was sarcasm, an art lost on many here in this forum!

Right on the mark!
What is it,about 11:00 am over there?

.......those are Bears fans: they travel better than most any fan base in the NFL: Pack, Bears, Cowboys all represent in away games. LOTS of money in CHitown; they just fly in and out: ain't no thang.

Got to spend those crack profits somewhere

I was expecting a break out year for Dez but he has not been as reliable as he needs to be. Oh well Next man up I am glad they came back and got that TD desperately needed.

When it comes to the audibles he just doesn't know what the hell he is doing.

 

[Cowboy Brian]

Don't forget Witt.

Hopefully this game is the beginning of his return to prominence, but the past few weeks he hasn't shined.

BRB Romo:

 

[XxTDxX]

Both. Wasn't a case of Dez not knowing the play.. It was a miscommunication.. Even if Dez had ran a hitch Tillman was ready for it I think thats why Dez continued his route. Ball should have never been thrown but they gotta get on the same page.

While it's halftime, y'all should go vote for Emmitt on DWTS

I wish Dez was smart enough to learn plays from the slot, he could be deadly. But, he can't even learn the routes on the outside.................

....nO one has EVER mentioned it but he could also line up at tight end a la Vernon Davis: he's not AS big as Davis but he's big enough to go over the middle, but too dumb to learn the plays. He could even line up and run routes out of the hback position: it's his 3rd season and he still can't learn basic routes on the outside. Yeah, wonderlic's don't matter

We have a very good QB. 32 yr old elite qbs win playoff games. Hopefully Romo will get there someday.

Even Espn, the guys who hate on Romo said he is Elite

It says it all that this offense consistently gets better when they go into streetball mode. Jason Garrett is just in over his head as a play caller. I like his message as a head coach, but if he wants to go somewhere he'll let someone competent call plays.

I've been screaming for this all last season. THe offense, the plays everything seems in slow motion because Garrett is not good enough to do both. Hire someone else to call the plays and Garrett can just worry about being the head coach.

 

[gimmesix]

That was all Romo.. Way to go TOny... Damn this cat is good.. He truly is the whole team

Yes. At least Cutler has the running game as a threat. Our run blocking is making us one-dimensional ... which means we have to rely on our pass-blocking against a defense that knows it. That's tough on any quarterback.

 

[kirkjrk]

Dez Bryant is too stupid to be a great WR.

Just let him run the original route. Never change it. He's too dumb. Hope for the best. Then replace the idiot when his contract is up.

Trade him and get a good draft pick, but don't let him just walk. Oh by the way, Dez is going to have a stellar second half, maybe not stellar.

 

[anj113]

Its quite sad, but its time we use Dez for his strength.. Its obviuosly not his brain so lets just put him in a situation to succeed to use his skills.. WE all know what his skills are... Its not route running, its def not adjusting at the line of scrimmage.. Its basically all about getting up and getting the ball.. If this half wit is going to be on this team its up to the coaches to put him in a situation to succeed.. Dont make this clown have to think too much... IM not saying its that easy, trust me im not, but is vital to use his skills and not too much of his little brain... WE have to find a way to make it work...

 

[jayhouston12]

this is probably one of the worst halfs of football i've seen from the offense

 

[Sportsbabe]

He is too raw. He needs a whole of experience. The stuff he needs to learn only comes instinctively or with years of experience ... and he has neither.

Then you obviously don't watch this team.

True.

Red's gameplan came out well but it fades quick once the game takes over. He panics like no one else.

 

[JackWagon]

Some of you really need to watch your use of stupid, idiotic, etc. when describing players on this team. If you cant say it about another poster dont talk about your team in that light. But we know how selective mods are

This dude needs to be riding pine ... no really . Romo looked straight at him ... said look at that ... signaling look for the blitz and the ****** blew the route ... absolutely blew it ... he is too dumb to be on this football team .. no way should he be starting.

We should have Austin/Ogletree out there as our top 2 and use Dez when we have to throw mid/deep routes.

Garrett is pretty useless......
