DMN: Sturm: Last year's Thanksgiving result 'absolutely' concerns me when it comes to Cowboys

[CATCH17]

We weren't ready for Chip Kelly's offense last year on Thanksgiving.

Especially after we had a Sunday Night game across the country.


It's all good though this year. Carolina is about to get smacked up.

Really? Using Down Syndrome (with blindness thrown in as a cherry on top) as an insult? Guess we can rule you out as a parent of a special needs child.

could have been worse, he could have said "mongoloid"

There was more to it than that. His mobility was not there, his throws didn't have the same zip because he couldn't rotate completely. Every one knows that he tries to make plays and at times it leads to him being hit. That is not what that is referring to. Its about him being healthy enough to be effective, which he wasn't last Thanksgiving due to the short week.

Romo isnt mobile. He has his spin and he showed that vs miami. Romo was healthy last yr. Phi just went in there and kicked their butts. Plain and simple had nothing to do with Romo being hurt because he wasnt. Romo wasnt blocking them up the gut blitzes. Philly just threw Dallas a curve ball and they werent ready for it. The following game Dallas was and they kicked butt.

That 2012 beat down got me in trouble at the game because I was yelling, "ACT LIKE YOU KNOW HOW TO ******* PLAY FOOTBALL!!!"

Last year they straight up played like a football team from the down-syndrome school for the blind.

I would caution you not to use analogies related to special needs situations.

Romo is very mobile when it comes to temporarily escaping pressure. He did not have his best day physically last Thanksgiving.

I was not aware that was a source of debate.

It's concerning me as well... We gotta come out better than we did in 2014! However Carolina does not run a fast paced offense like the Eagles do THANK GOODNESS!

was he not romo? he gets hit alot because he holds on to the ball too long. thats who he is, it amazes me that people still dont get this about him.

And he holds on to the ball long because of the lousy system he plays in.
