Darren Woodson: "There are no days off"

[Boysboy]

Yeah, Crayton drops passes because Romo went to Mexico. Damn Crayton you have a nice built in execuse and it can all be dumped on Romo. Romo did what he felt was right for him if people don't like it well then that is their problem. I respect Woodson but he did what he felt was right for him and Tony Romo will do what he feels is best for him. Tony has showed that he is a hard worker and does what he has to, to get ready for a game. I guess the old saying is true you can't please everyone.

But according to abersonc's logic, Romo going to Cabo with Simpson sent a bad message to his teammates, and b/c of this, it made Crayton become lax, which was why he dropped those balls and ran that bad route.

You get it?

I get that these players are responsible for themselves. Crayton picks up a pay check like every player out there it is his job to get himself ready just like any other player on this team and when he screws up that is on him not Romo or anyone else. I think we do have some players who need to look themselves in the mirror and ask if they are giving it everything they have

It's not like he skipped practice, skipped his game film session, played hookey, etc to go off with his celebrity g/f.

Dude-your logic is WAY off. I don't get the "consequences" you keep bringing up.

The consequences are the criticism that Romo is getting now and will get for the rest of the off-season.

Oh yeah. We lost. That's a pretty big freaking consequence.

But, hey, I guess you like being on the losing end.

That's right.

And if you choose to vacation during your bye weekend when you could be working and saving the vacation for the 6 month you have off then maybe you aren't giving it all you have.

After the 2nd Eagles game, Garrett got blasted for not being patient with the run. Guess what, he POUNDED THE ROCK last week, and did it SUCCESSFULLY. But, en yet, he STILL gets blasted for coming out with a stinker of a game plan.

What if Romo didn't go off to Cabo? What would be the result? We win 21-17(but not 45-17) instead?(Remember how CZ would meltdown, majorly, after *close* wins) What if Romo didn't go off to Hollywood with Britney before the 1st Eagles game? Would the final score have been 76-10, instead of 38-17?

Again-I still don't get your logic. When you LOSE, the media and fans will still come up with 1000 criticisms why we lost.(See Garrett above) And it ain't fun.

 

[Doomsday101]

That's right.

He could have sat in Dallas would that have made a difference? When he went to Mexico we had no ideal of who we would even be playing. I also don't think where Room went took away from any preparation time. Sorry there is perception and reality and I think many have made a big deal out of the perception but in the end his 2 or 3 days in Mexico did not cost us the game. I think Romo explained himself very well and some will accept it others will not. That’s life

 

[Boysboy]

That's right.

Right...if Romo and Witten hadn't gone off to Hollywood before the 1st Eagles game, we win that 76-10, instead of 38-17, right?

The Cowboys, and Romo in particular, opened themselves up for this debate. As far as I am concerned however, Romo played well enough to win. Had Crayton played as hard as he talked all season, we would be worrying about the frozen tundra this Sunday.

We have discussed the mistakes ad nauseum, but if the Cowboys cut the penalties in half, they win the game. Not to mention clock management, clean tackles and decent O Line play late in the game.

My thoughts exactly.

Romo has to be mature enough and wise enough to know that he's going to catch heat for this, fair or not. Don't be surprised.

And many of the problems in that playoff loss had been happening all year -- penalties in particular -- and were never really fixed.

 

[WoodysGirl]

That's right.

Peyton stayed home and studied and he got bounced in the first round as well. I think its crazy to think an hour and half trip was the difference between winning and losing last Sunday.

If Romo had gone to the Gaylord Texans Resort in Grand Prairie and did the same thing, would you have had a problem with it?

A lot of posters are making a point like this and you're right.

But it's the perception we're talking about. I think Tony was ready to play.

But he has to know that he's being watched, especially with the girlfriend he has, and he has to know that everything they do together in public will be on TV or the newspaper a few hours later.

When he got back to Dallas, he had to answer a ton of questions about it. And seemed surprised.

He can't be that naive.

He has to know that if he does that, he's going to be called on it. If he doesn't want to talk about it or answer questions, then don't do it.

The trip to Cabo wasn't the problem, it was the aftermath.

Blame it on the media, but that's the life Tony has chosen.

 

[CPonder14]

And Romo knew that is EXACTLY what would happen if he went off with Jessica Simpson, came back and got bounced from the playoffs.

He's earned this criticism and he's earned it good.

Its because of people like you...
Dont you get it? If people like you didn't exist, then there would be no controversy, or critisism

On DFW talk radio the other day, they spent an entire day BLASTING Garrett for coming up with a stinker of a game plan.

For one, Garrett DID pound the rock, successfully. Oh wait-wasn't he also blasted for ABANDONING THE RUN in the 2nd Eagles game? And now he's much more patient with the run last week, he's all of a sudden an idiot?

Pt being that whether it's Romo in Cabo or this or Wade being too laxed or Crayton getting too complacent, we're STILL getting mixed messages of why we lost.

It's a TEAM sport-I'm tired of every 5 minutes, there's a musical chairs of different guys getting thrown under the bus, then it's back to square one and noone has a clue why we lost.

No its just that he isn't as gullible as you in thinking that the trip to Mexico hand any effect on the team.

are you serious? Un****ing believable

I find it funny that Garret has gotten heat his offense was working we had TO open deep dropped by him; Crayton dropped a big 1st down Fasno dropped another easy touchdown; Crayton hesitated slowed up on a play that he was open on. So we left basically 4-5 td's on the field not because of the play calling because the team failed to execute the plays. This is a young team and it looks like they may have gotten overwhelmed by what it takes at the next stage of the playoffs (I hope that this is just part of their learning process)

but your adding fuel to the fire. Who's to say the media doesn't read this forum?
