Is It Safe Yet?!

[Fletch]

Been avoiding the Zone since around 4:30pm EST Sunday because I figured the sky had dropped & all hell broke loose due to the debacle that was the last 30mins of Sunday's game! Just wondering if all the female-dogging & moaning has eased up after a couple of cool-down days! Please don't get me wrong, I'm as pissed as everyone else but I'm not ready to take my ball & go home quite yet! I still have faith in Red, #9, & the rest of the Boys (when healthy) to make some noise this season. Am I alone in my beliefs or has the torch-n-pitchfork crowd overtaken our fanbase???

You ain't alone!

So you've simply given up on this game and are just chalking up a loss?

I'm not saying we'll win, I think we can though, but you're just giving up a loss already?

Chalk it up to fair weather. Some jump on the wagon when things are going well and others ride it out regardless the outcome because they are real fans. It is what it is.

Just give people time to heal. Rob Ryan said the loss to the Jets took him till Thursday to get over. This one should last till Saturday, lol. Not all losses are created equal. This one was the worst of the worst.

For me, The Catch was the worst of the worst, followed by the Thanksgiving Day debacle.

Hey, maybe this is a new thread topic?

I was there, too. What I mostly heard when leaving the stadium was a whole lot of silence. People were just stunned.
I also was telling myself to stay away from the 'zone for a few days after that loss, but couldn't resist coming back. I've been actually quite surprised at the number of people who aren't jumping off a cliff after that loss. Perhaps they saw the game like I did. I saw the Cowboys, at nowhere near full-strength, come out and dominate a team that was supposed to be one of the best out there. Yes, we made stupid mistakes that cost us the game, but by thunder I saw a team that is fully capable of beating any team in this league when they play well! Despite the fact that Tony has had two epic meltdowns in 4 weeks, look back at his career! He doesn't do this all that often! If he's done it twice already, that doesn't in any way suggest he's going to go out there and do that every other game this year. More than likely he'll come out and play lights-out against the Pats. He usually bounces back big after a bad game. I can't wait for this one, personally! But I digress. I also saw a young offensive line who we all thought was terrible handle Suh and the Lions' defensive line quite nicely throughout the game! And for the second straight game, we even showed signs of a running game! It's not great or consistent, but it was significantly improved over the first 2 1/2 games, so I am optimistic that the line is starting to get its stuff together when it comes to run blocking. I have lots of reason for optimism going forward, and I think a lot of other posters see some of these same things.
I'm also like Hos in being in shock at some of the guys who have come out in support of Tony Romo. I know I still believe in him, and Garrett, but I was surprised to find how many others still do, too!

Thanks for the observations, the OL had it's best game IMO - damn that last sack though. Could you tell if Dez was getting separation in the 2nd half? Too much coverage rolled his way to throw? ...

The catch, Troy's early turnovers in the 3rd SF playoff game, the PI on Benny Barnes, Roger's last game, Crayton not finishing his route. All heart breakers + more important games. But this collapse was like an out-of-body experience, not as important, because we have time to recover, but almost inconceivable.

Honestly, I'm not sure what happened to Dez. I was so busy watching the ball that I kept forgetting to watch the receivers' routes like I had intended to. I seem to lack self-discipline when it comes to that, lol.
