High praise from Tom Jackson

[Rockport]

Again..not great, not perfect..but solid

Your standards are ridicuously low.

 

[JPM]

How do you figure?

I don't think it did.

Jackson is a weather vane- he always goes with the way the wind is blowing that day

I agree. Romo has a ways to go to get that monkey off his back.......but ....other all time great QBs had the same monkey on their back........i hope romo gets better at the game management and time management. As he gets older.......i really, really want him to win.......he is running out of time....,..i think he deserves it....

Not only this, but I can't stand the way he celebrates after every drop or overthrow to his side ! When he makes the play - fine, but he does it all the time. He was lucky he did not get called for P.I. on one play, but the ball was out in front of the receiver anyway and there he was, acting like he did a great job in stopping the play. I love the Cowboys, but he piss's me off with his antics after each play. Don't know if he still carries a sense of entitlement from his collge days or what it is, but he has not been a good enough player yet to showboat after plays that go his way when he didn't really afect the outcome (Drops, incompletions etc). Like Carter - 1more year to finally get healthy and show what type of player he can really be. But if he plays like this next year or is continuously injured again - cut bait !

I am a huge, huge LSU fan. Followed the player through college. He will be fine, but he was much more aggressive in college. Money does bad things to good people. He needs to be on the sideline. He is a liability out there.

"I want everyone to know how well Tony Romo is playing. He has the worst defense in the league and no running game. Playing the best of his career. Clutch"

This is Tom Jackson eating crow (still). He was the FIRST guy to bash Dez Bryant for that sideline thing a few games ago. He was the first to make the TO/Keychain/DivaWR connection.

This is just him trying to make up for it. He'll say this, but stick around, he'll throw out the "but in games that matter" caveat.

Your standards are ridicuously low.

How many points did the defense allow? Not style points, POINTS?

Let me help you out..They gave up 21 and scoring defense is all that matters. For a team so injured, 21 is pretty darn solid..and you also just poo poo over the pick six? I guess that doesn't matter to you either?

 

[beevomav]

They should give a gameball to Kevin Gilbride though. The Giants playcalling was atrocious, particularly in the red zone.

Their RBs were averaging almost 7 YPC and Dallas couldn't have stopped them with a gun. Why let Eli throw it 30 times when he was clearly off?

You guys just keep raising the bar. Whether it's interceptions Romo should have thrown, or the defense got lucky, it never ends. It must be a miserable time being a fan like you guys? Nothing is ever good enough.

I have been a fan since 1960 and winning in NY is a big deal. Always has been and always will be. Nothing you Chicken Little types can do to change that.

I was merely making an observation. Living in NJ I quite enjoyed the Giants aiding in their own demise, I assure you.

 

[Hoofbite]

Tony has definitely taken much better care of the ball this year than in years past.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

I'd be careful on saying he has no "running game". He has a threat back there. He may be injury prone but the guy is averaging 5.1 yards a carry. Nothing to sneeze at.....might just be the best in the league in that regard.

 

[dupree89]

I really like Tom Jackson. In fact, of that bunch that is on ESPN Monday Nights, he and Ditka are the only two I like. Tom Jackson is very old school. I agree he has bashed the Cowboys a lot over the years, but I think just about all of it has been deserved. He has had a major issue with Jerry Jones making the personnel decisions. I appreciate his honesty.

 

[kramskoi]

Everyone is going to run on us until lee returns.

Simms can't get off blocks and lee is a master of it not to mention his instincts are great.

Let you tell it! They absolutely need that Lee-Hatcher nexus versus the Eagles...The two of them together created much havoc in the last matchup.

 

[RoyTheHammer]

Exactly. You can tell from the comment he hasn't been watching the games. Romo had a stretch of games recently where he didn't play well at all, was missing open receivers, etc..

..and Murray is averaging over 5 ypc and over 70 ypg. The last two he's been over 85 yards per game and over 5.5 ypc.

so the media isnt all bad?
when we mess up they point it out and give us credit when we actually come through?

say it aint so!
