I love that Dez cried

He'th tho thenthitive. Ugh, the "he's so passionate about the game" cliche makes me want to barf. Why not just say he hates losing instead of couching it in such a grandiose and melodramatic way like he's some noble warrior who lost his entire tribe on some battlefield and is so broken he's going to give up his life and wander the countryside a loner having sworn to forgo relationships because of the pain they might cause until he meets a small cute child who rekindles in him the will to fight again and then there's a climactic triumphant fight and then the credits roll.

That said, if it were only the case that everyone on the team felt that loss as deeply as he did.

Most of them did at one point, but after years of this kind of futility it gets driven out of you and a kind of numbness takes it's place.

because it's a circus... no other team losses the way we have been losing the past few years. It may be unparalleled in all of sports history.

To each his own. I get upset and disappointed. I see a decimated defense as creating most of the problems not a circus. That's not saying that is all the problems on the team but we'd own this division if we had the majority of our starters.

Some of you seem to not understand the difference in 'no excuses' and 'not capable'. NO ONE is going to win consistently with that defense. They get a lead then try to run the clock out and the defense can't hold and we lose. You and others like you complain. They try to keep scoring knowing the defense isn't going to hold and they can't keep up with the scoring and you guys scream they should have run the clock out by running. Example Detroit game 2011 and this GB game.

The truth is you think WE are THE COWBOYS and losing is not an option. Guess what? You play with one starter on the DL (discounting Ware who is obviously injured), your LBers and backups, and half your secondary (Wilcox isn't a starter but a backup of a backup) and you're going to give up yards, points, and first downs like nobodies business.

And your silly retort to that is NO EXCUSES.

Tell you what. Give me a spoon, weak and worn thread, and a flashlite and I'll remove your appendix. Get the picture????

Now there is no excuse for the last INT. Romo missed a couple of long passes; long passes are not a high completion rate pass. So he didn't play perfect and you cannot throw that last pick. OTOH, the OL has to give Romo time to throw when its absolutely necessary for him to make some plays. Don't expect a QB to have to duck the rush or throw before he's ready and not make mistakes when he HAS to make a completion and can't simply throw it away.

There's plenty of blame for such an epic collapse. Make no mistake it was HUGE. When you play guys who don't belong on the club period much less forced to start then this is what you get. Monumental collapses, first downs galore, and epic losses.

Of course most are not interested in what the problems in reality are. It's easier to throw people under the bus.

If Tony Romo played with Dez' passion, this team would be unstoppable. But, "it's just a football game Romo" lacks the fear of losing and as the "leader" of the team, his example kills this team. Yes, he often plays well when the chips are down, but wanting to win is not the same as hating to lose. Romo lacks that vague sports term "heart."

I'm glad you know Romo so well you can tell us what fuels him.

I don't think you guys understand the microscope that players like Romo are under and what they have to do to maintain their sanity. When he makes statements as such, he's not saying he doesn't care about winning. Rather, he wants to let us know that he's found a balance in life and that he has some place to go to handle the pressures of football and the incredible microscope that he lives under. Do you know what it's like to have thousands of people tell you you're a choker, where your performance is being judged not by just your office co-workers but thousands and millions of people? Most of us have no idea what that's like.

Dez is big baby and has no heart. Dez = Adrien Broner, who ran out the ring after getting his butt kicked out Saturday night. All flash and no substance
