[CanadianCowboysFan]

Why do people care about a 12 men on the field penalty that had no bearing on the outcome of the game, they would have kicked the FG anyway?

 

[5Stars]

Why do people care about a 12 men on the field penalty that had no bearing on the outcome of the game, they would have kicked the FG anyway?

Why? A diciplined team does not trot out 12 guys. In this case it did not hurt, but in some circumstances it could.

Get it?

 

[Boysboy]

Let's play 20 questions?

OK

1. Is Tony Romo ever going to stop with the turnovers?

No-he is who he is.

2. Do we really want Jason Garrett as the next head coach?

Honestly-I don't think he and Wade are on the same page. If he's our HC, at least he has his own staff and will do so being on the same page with them. I think he'll be fine.

3. Will this team ever learn how to properly finish a game/season?

Never did under Parcells, so not surprised.

4. Was Pacman worth even half the trouble?

Forget about his bad ST returns, he's been a very good cover corner for us. Yes.

5. Does Greg Ellis still play for the Dallas Cowboys?

He's been somewhat dissapointing this year, but I think he'll do well the rest of the year.

6. How can people still say Bradie James isn't a good football player?

It's his leadership skills that's poor, quite frankly. Otherwise, he's a heck of a talent.

7. How can people still say Canty and Spears deserve new contract(s)?

Canty yes, Spears no.

8. Should Cory Proctor even be in the NFL?

Heck NO!

9. Does the Cowboys coaching staff think these players are rocket scientists?

I just think these players are DUMB!

10. Why is Bruce Read still employed by Jerry Jones?

Well-Bills fans have warned us that Wade doesn't put much emphasis on ST.

11. Who else thinks Orlando Scandrick has a 'bigger' future than Mike Jenkins?

They both do.

12. Shouldn't Jason Witten be allowed an 'off game' every now and again and not expect the team to lose because of it?

No-he shouldn't get a free pass. If TO doesn't, then he shouldn't either. What's fair is fair.

13. Why did they even trade for Roy Williams?

It takes time to learn the playbook. My mind hasn't changed.

14. How many times have we seen a team play 'not to lose' and then lose?

The Giants did in our playoff game last year, remember? On their last series, they were ultra-conservative when they could have boot-legged Eli and had a first down completion to Kevin Boss. Well, they won.

15. Did the cold affect Tony Romo?

No excuses.

16. What was Terrell Owens saying to Coach Sherman?

I didn't think much of it-the difference b/w him and other receivers in the league is that the camera is pointed at him quite a bit.

17. Why does the offense always seem to be rushing to get the ball off
before the play clock expires?

The coaching staff isn't on the same page, what makes you think the players are?

18. Why does this defense have more than one '12 men on the field' penalty this season?

We never had discipline under Parcells.

19. Will the 2008 Dallas Cowboys make the playoffs?

No

20. Do the 2008 Dallas Cowboys deserve a playoff berth?

No-even if by chance they make it through back doors, they'll be one and done.

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

Why? A diciplined team does not trot out 12 guys. In this case it did not hurt, but in some circumstances it could.

Get it?

no I am too ******** to understand, but to harp on it as if it had any relevance to the outcome is ridiculous

 

[JoeyHarris]

Let's play 20 questions?

1. Is Tony Romo ever going to stop with the turnovers?
-Live by the sword, die by the sword. Probably not - though I doubt he's going to be giving it away 4 times anytime soon.

2. Do we really want Jason Garrett as the next head coach?
-What's up with creating lame duck coaches these days?

3. Will this team ever learn how to properly finish a game/season?
-Yes.

4. Was Pacman worth even half the trouble?
-He had two breakups today. He's solid and we need him, so yes.

5. Does Greg Ellis still play for the Dallas Cowboys?
-Only on paper.

6. How can people still say Bradie James isn't a good football player?
-Who still says he's not? He should have one to Hawaii last year. He better go this year.

7. How can people still say Canty and Spears deserve new contract(s)?
-Sigh...

8. Should Cory Proctor even be in the NFL?
-He's not qualified to sell me aluminum siding.

9. Does the Cowboys coaching staff think these players are rocket scientists?
-?

10. Why is Bruce Read still employed by Jerry Jones?
-You have 20 questions, and this is one of them?

11. Who else thinks Orlando Scandrick has a 'bigger' future than Mike Jenkins?
-To soon. Can't they both be promising?

12. Shouldn't Jason Witten be allowed an 'off game' every now and again and not expect the team to lose because of it?
-Not as long as Romo's playing QB. Or Bennett comes around - which actually could happen.

13. Why did they even trade for Roy Williams?
-Because he's better than any WR in the draft. Especially where the Cowboys will be drafting from.

14. How many times have we seen a team play 'not to lose' and then lose?
-Damn near 90% of the time.

15. Did the cold affect Tony Romo?
-I'll say.

16. What was Terrell Owens saying to Coach Sherman?
-He was telling him how much he saved by switching to Geico.

17. Why does the offense always seem to be rushing to get the ball off
before the play clock expires?
-See: Romo, Tony.

18. Why does this defense have more than one '12 men on the field' penalty this season?
-Didn't matter. D played great. They allowed 13 points.

19. Will the 2008 Dallas Cowboys make the playoffs?
-Yes.

20. Do the 2008 Dallas Cowboys deserve a playoff berth?
-If you make it, you deserve to be there.

 

[Hypnotoad]

1. Is Tony Romo ever going to stop with the turnovers?

no, no QB will ever stop turnovers

2. Do we really want Jason Garrett as the next head coach?

hell no, hes in over his head as offensive coordinator (his strength), imagine him having to be responsible for defense too.

3. Will this team ever learn how to properly finish a game/season?

Well, it wont learn it unless it keeps trying.

4. Was Pacman worth even half the trouble?

Yes, one of our better CBs. Keep him off punt/ko returns

5. Does Greg Ellis still play for the Dallas Cowboys?

Yes, he had a very apparent offsides penalty.

6. How can people still say Bradie James isn't a good football player?

I dont know, ask them.

7. How can people still say Canty and Spears deserve new contract(s)?

See #6

8. Should Cory Proctor even be in the NFL?

No

9. Does the Cowboys coaching staff think these players are rocket scientists?

Apparently Garrett thinks all members of the offense graduated from harvard too. Keep it simple booksmarts.

10. Why is Bruce Read still employed by Jerry Jones?

Friends with benefits?

11. Who else thinks Orlando Scandrick has a 'bigger' future than Mike Jenkins?

They could potentially both have big futures. Its early for them.

12. Shouldn't Jason Witten be allowed an 'off game' every now and again and not expect the team to lose because of it?

These are alot more questions than I thought. No one is allowed an off game. I am sick of players having 'the worst games of their career' just to have another bad game a few weeks later.

13. Why did they even trade for Roy Williams?

So we can be ahead of the curve for next year.

14. How many times have we seen a team play 'not to lose' and then lose?

shrug

15. Did the cold affect Tony Romo?

Yes, and he was an idiot if he thought otherwise. His hands were purple most of the game.

16. What was Terrell Owens saying to Coach Sherman?

"I caught a touchdown in the endzone against steelers and randy moss dropded 3. Buy my book."

17. Why does the offense always seem to be rushing to get the ball off
before the play clock expires?

Because Garrett thinks everyone is from Yale and has a complex offense.

18. Why does this defense have more than one '12 men on the field' penalty this season?

Our safety is not a good leader. RW always used to count.

19. Will the 2008 Dallas Cowboys make the playoffs?

I am sick of speculating

20. Do the 2008 Dallas Cowboys deserve a playoff berth?

This isnt a charity. Earn it 2008 Cowboys.

 

[Tusan_Homichi]

Let's play 20 questions?

OK. Lets rock.

1. Is Tony Romo ever going to stop with the turnovers?

He's always going to have an occasional game like this and I believe he's going to be good for one boneheaded throw a game. However, he makes more than enough plays to make up for it, IMO.

2. Do we really want Jason Garrett as the next head coach?

No. Absolutely not. I don't even want him as OC next year.

3. Will this team ever learn how to properly finish a game/season?

When we start being able to run the ball consistently, yes.

4. Was Pacman worth even half the trouble?

He was great out there tonight in coverage. He is definitely worth the trouble.

5. Does Greg Ellis still play for the Dallas Cowboys?

I haven't seen him. I'm not sure.

6. How can people still say Bradie James isn't a good football player?

Bradie James has definitely surprised me this year. I can honestly say I was wrong about him.

7. How can people still say Canty and Spears deserve new contract(s)?

I thought Spears played pretty well tonight. Canty is invisible this year.

8. Should Cory Proctor even be in the NFL?

No. He's a bum.

9. Does the Cowboys coaching staff think these players are rocket scientists?

It's obvious that we have some issues on offense with people knowing their routes and knowing where to line up. It happens too often that we get to the line and people are scrambling around and Romo is having to direct traffic.

10. Why is Bruce Read still employed by Jerry Jones?

I'm guessing Wade is sticking up for him. My guess is that he's gone as soon as the season is over.

11. Who else thinks Orlando Scandrick has a 'bigger' future than Mike Jenkins?

It sure looks like it at this point.

12. Shouldn't Jason Witten be allowed an 'off game' every now and again and not expect the team to lose because of it?

He's been pretty invisible the last few games save for one. I'm guessing he's just really dinged up and trying to play through it.

13. Why did they even trade for Roy Williams?

I have no idea. This goes back to Jason Garrett. I'm sorry, but if you give a comptent OC access to Romo, Witten, Barber, TO, and Roy11, we'd roll people consistently. There is no excuse for it.

14. How many times have we seen a team play 'not to lose' and then lose?

Way too often.

15. Did the cold affect Tony Romo?

No. I think it was just a bad game. It probably didn't help that it was his first game without the splint either. It's probably an adjustment.

16. What was Terrell Owens saying to Coach Sherman?

The popcorn is cold.

17. Why does the offense always seem to be rushing to get the ball off
before the play clock expires?

Either our scheme is too complex for people to understand what they're supposed to be doing, or we're a team of idiots.

18. Why does this defense have more than one '12 men on the field' penalty this season?

We have an assload of different personnel packages. I'm guessing more than the majority of teams in the league

19. Will the 2008 Dallas Cowboys make the playoffs?

Yes. We're going to win the next 3.

20. Do the 2008 Dallas Cowboys deserve a playoff berth?

Yes. With Romo as QB, we've actually done pretty well. We could really do some damage if we get in.

 

[Idgit]

16. What was Terrell Owens saying to Coach Sherman?
-He was telling him how much he saved by switching to Geico.

:laugh2:

I bet you nailed it.

 

[the kid 05]

Let's play 20 questions? ok

1. Is Tony Romo ever going to stop with the turnovers? probably not, to much of a wild cowboy in him

2. Do we really want Jason Garrett as the next head coach? no

3. Will this team ever learn how to properly finish a game/season? with a better coach possibly

4. Was Pacman worth even half the trouble? yes

5. Does Greg Ellis still play for the Dallas Cowboys? he receives a paycheck but does little else

6. How can people still say Bradie James isn't a good football player? hes not playing like Ray Lewis or Brian Urlacher

7. How can people still say Canty and Spears deserve new contract(s)? before this year Canty did, spears has been playing solid this year esp as a run stopper

8. Should Cory Proctor even be in the NFL? my ten year old brother could play left guard better then he.

9. Does the Cowboys coaching staff think these players are rocket scientists? nope but the fans do or should be

10. Why is Bruce Read still employed by Jerry Jones? million dollar question

11. Who else thinks Orlando Scandrick has a 'bigger' future than Mike Jenkins? *raises hand*

12. Shouldn't Jason Witten be allowed an 'off game' every now and again and not expect the team to lose because of it? no, greats dont take games off and Witten already has shown hes a great one.

13. Why did they even trade for Roy Williams? future replacement for Terrell Owens...expect huge things next season from both of them (baring no injuries)

14. How many times have we seen a team play 'not to lose' and then lose? are we counting when parcells was around as well?

15. Did the cold affect Tony Romo? I dont think so, i believe it was more then wind.

16. What was Terrell Owens saying to Coach Sherman? I would get banned for repeating it.

17. Why does the offense always seem to be rushing to get the ball off
before the play clock expires? because we get a penalty if we dont.

18. Why does this defense have more than one '12 men on the field' penalty this season? no one can count past ten with out using their toes...

19. Will the 2008 Dallas Cowboys make the playoffs? yes

20. Do the 2008 Dallas Cowboys deserve a playoff berth? which team are we talking about, the 2008 cowboys vs the cards or the 2008 cowboys vs seattle game?

mine are in red.

 

[KingintheNorth]

1. Is Tony Romo ever going to stop with the turnovers?
- Yes. He is too competitive to not see that his play is costing us games. He will find a way to play with the fire that wins us games and reduce the mistakes.

2. Do we really want Jason Garrett as the next head coach?
- I'm falling off the bandwagon. I say no. His playcalling baffles me sometimes.

3. Will this team ever learn how to properly finish a game/season?
- Yes. These guys want to win and eventually they will have a coach who will motivate/discipline them enough to get them there.

4. Was Pacman worth even half the trouble?
- Yes but barely. So far I am unimpressed with his return abilities but the man can play cornerback, even as rusty as he is.

5. Does Greg Ellis still play for the Dallas Cowboys?
- Yes, for now. In 2009, no.

6. How can people still say Bradie James isn't a good football player?
- He seems to be making plays and they team appears to be utilizing him correctly.

7. How can people still say Canty and Spears deserve new contract(s)?
- I'd bring them back next year. This team is this close. I don't think blowing up the whole d line is the answer. If Canty wants a big deal, he can walk.

8. Should Cory Proctor even be in the NFL?
- Absolutely not. We have a ton of mid-round picks this year. We need to improve our o line depth badly.

9. Does the Cowboys coaching staff think these players are rocket scientists?
- Not sure but I don't think they are anyone to judge.

10. Why is Bruce Read still employed by Jerry Jones?
- See Greg Ellis.

11. Who else thinks Orlando Scandrick has a 'bigger' future than Mike Jenkins?
- I like em both.

12. Shouldn't Jason Witten be allowed an 'off game' every now and again and not expect the team to lose because of it?
- Yes, absolutely. We just aren't used to it.

13. Why did they even trade for Roy Williams?
- I still don't think we would have found as talented a player with a 1st, 3rd, and a 6th.

14. How many times have we seen a team play 'not to lose' and then lose?
- Too many. It ranks right up there with the "Prevent Defense". If the offense was more aggressive then we run out the clock.

15. Did the cold affect Tony Romo?
- Maybe, he threw everything high. I have a feeling he will be just fine next week3.

16. What was Terrell Owens saying to Coach Sherman?
- No idea. sorry.

17. Why does the offense always seem to be rushing to get the ball off
before the play clock expires?
- I've noticed that all year. I blame coaching. This is a fixable issue.

18. Why does this defense have more than one '12 men on the field' penalty this season?
- See 17. Coaching.

19. Will the 2008 Dallas Cowboys make the playoffs?
- Yes.

20. Do the 2008 Dallas Cowboys deserve a playoff berth?
- Yes. We are still the most talented team in the NFL. The Giants are more consistant but no one wants to see us in the playoffs.

2. No

3. No

4. No

5. Who?

6. He was one of the bright spots

7. They don't

8. No, he makes me long for the days of Petitti and Tucker :bang2:

9. meh i'm surprised some of these guys can even tie their own shoes

10. Deep down Jerry must secretly love failure

11. I love this kid (no homo)

12. as long as it's not on the same week TO take the game off which is every other week now

13. if Romo wasn't to wasting plays on those drive killing "we have to keep TO happy passes" he might have more of an impact

14. Thought this ended when Parcells left guess not

15. did it effect him last year in Texas stadium or the year before? look at your calender

16. "you need to force more passes to me so i can give up on more routes"

17. Romo is changing a lot of plays at the line

18. penalties don't matter, don't you listen to Wade?

19. No

20. No

 

[vta]

1. Is Tony Romo ever going to stop with the turnovers?
Probably not.

2. Do we really want Jason Garrett as the next head coach?
Definitely not

3. Will this team ever learn how to properly finish a game/season?
Probably.

4. Was Pacman worth even half the trouble?
Sure. He's a good Corner and we need one of those.

5. Does Greg Ellis still play for the Dallas Cowboys?
Ellis is far from being this teams problem.

6. How can people still say Bradie James isn't a good football player?
Are they?

7. How can people still say Canty and Spears deserve new contract(s)?
Do they?

8. Should Cory Proctor even be in the NFL?
Nope.

9. Does the Cowboys coaching staff think these players are rocket scientists?
No, but you get get the feeling they think so about themselves...

10. Why is Bruce Read still employed by Jerry Jones?
Why is Jerry Jones still employed by Jerry Jones?

11. Who else thinks Orlando Scandrick has a 'bigger' future than Mike Jenkins?
I do.

12. Shouldn't Jason Witten be allowed an 'off game' every now and again and not expect the team to lose because of it?
I wouldn't even say Witten had an off game, he's, as usual the only bright spot on this expensive, poorly coached unit.

13. Why did they even trade for Roy Williams?
Because he's good, the real question is, why wasn't Jason Garrett a part of that trade?

14. How many times have we seen a team play 'not to lose' and then lose?
I don't think this was the case today, I think Garrett is run dry and has no answer for the NFL adjusting to learning his scheme.

15. Did the cold affect Tony Romo?
Yeah at first. He threw a lot of garbage to start the game.

16. What was Terrell Owens saying to Coach Sherman?
"Who the hell is Jason Garrett?"

17. Why does the offense always seem to be rushing to get the ball off
before the play clock expires?
Because the OC has no management skills...

18. Why does this defense have more than one '12 men on the field' penalty this season?
Bad luck?

19. Will the 2008 Dallas Cowboys make the playoffs?
I hope so.

20. Do the 2008 Dallas Cowboys deserve a playoff berth?[/QUOTE]
Just desserts has nothing to do with football, juts being able to execute when necessary. If the Cowboys can win enough to earn a spot, then they belong there.

 

[SteveOS]

Let's play 20 questions?

1. Is Tony Romo ever going to stop with the turnovers?

Probably not, but I'd rather have a QB that takes chances (see the TO touchdown) than someone like Brad Johnson or Jason Campbell. IMHO, there aren't many QB's in the NFL better than Romo. I expect a turnover or 2 from Romo every game, I'm just used to it. As long as he continues to make plays, I don't care.

2. Do we really want Jason Garrett as the next head coach?

I say no, he doesn't have the "Fire". We need someone that will get after the players, instead of fist pumping and acting like the jolly green giant.

3. Will this team ever learn how to properly finish a game/season?

They finished off the Skins, just a few weeks ago. They know "HOW", they just need to execute better.

4. Was Pacman worth even half the trouble?

I thought Pacman played well yesterday. The muffed punt could have been a disaster, but they don't lose anything if it doesn't work out. It's a no brainer to keep him.

5. Does Greg Ellis still play for the Dallas Cowboys?

Who cares, Spencer hasn't done much better when he's in there either.

6. How can people still say Bradie James isn't a good football player?

N/A

7. How can people still say Canty and Spears deserve new contract(s)?

N/A

8. Should Cory Proctor even be in the NFL?

He signed a contract, so yes.

9. Does the Cowboys coaching staff think these players are rocket scientists?

It's all about execution, not rocket science.

10. Why is Bruce Read still employed by Jerry Jones?

The special teams have been a lot better, coming from the disaster of earlier in the season.

11. Who else thinks Orlando Scandrick has a 'bigger' future than Mike Jenkins?

Me.

12. Shouldn't Jason Witten be allowed an 'off game' every now and again and not expect the team to lose because of it?

Nobody should have an off game, they get paid to play football and do it well. It happens to the best of them, so you just grin and bear it.

13. Why did they even trade for Roy Williams?

For his playmaking abilities, which we haven't quite seen yet. There are still 3 games and the playoffs left, don't be quick to judge.

14. How many times have we seen a team play 'not to lose' and then lose?

Plenty, but it all comes down to execution.

15. Did the cold affect Tony Romo?

Maybe a little, he probably stood less than 4 feet away from the heater a little too long.

16. What was Terrell Owens saying to Coach Sherman?

"NEXT QUESTION!"

17. Why does the offense always seem to be rushing to get the ball off
before the play clock expires?

Because they don't get the play in on time.

18. Why does this defense have more than one '12 men on the field' penalty this season?

Confusion, it happens to the best of us.

19. Will the 2008 Dallas Cowboys make the playoffs?

Hell yes.

20. Do the 2008 Dallas Cowboys deserve a playoff berth?

If they get in, they deserve it.

Answered in quotes.

 

[Oh_Canada]

Why? A diciplined team does not trot out 12 guys. In this case it did not hurt, but in some circumstances it could.

Get it?

Exactly, dismisssing it is something Phillips would probably do. Except that those kinds of penalties are a microcosm of the entire coaching staff, they show just how sloppy and un-prepared they are which translates to a sloppy and unprepared team.

 

[TheCount]

It's good to see you've considerd both the good and bad aspects of this team... oh wait, no you didn't.
