It was a tough loss but the facts are!!!

I couldn't agree with you more. We have a WINNER in Romo. The guy is gonna be awesome as he matures. He's confident, smart, mobile, and wants to win. People forget that it was just his 2nd season as a starter, he's done wonders already and he's only gonna get better.

And only the first season as a full-time starter... even better.

 

[Boysboy]

For the record-I feel NE's defense is overrated, and if we had gotten to Arizona, I think we could have scored some points on them.

However-with our ****** secondary and our SOFT middle of our DL/LB, does anyone REALLY think we had any kind of a shot stopping their high-powered O? I don't think so-sure, Anthony Henry didn't play in our Oct meeting, but OTOH, the Pats were without some key guys(Malroney, no other RB, Ben Watson got hurt, Matt Light didn't play in the 1st qtr, etc), so it's not like they were at full strength either.

And besides, the Super Bowl loser stinks it up the following season anyways. Not trying to sugar coat and making everyone feel better, but was just giving some objective analysis, that's all.

I think that you have to throw in how much we lost by with Romo.
1st playoff loss - 1 pt
2nd playoff loss - 4 pts

Its not like the Mannings when they get blown out of the playoffs and start throwing picks in the game that lead to routes.

Romo just needs a little more seasoning. He has the head for it... playing QB at a good to high level.

Wasn't the 4 pt loss to one of those Mannings? like last week or something?

 

[jimmy40]

We are the Dallas Cowboys we will always get pressure.. whether its real or manufactured. The media is out of control.

We are NOT the New England "I cheat, take steroids, beat women, run up scores, cheap shot" Patriots.

The media took Denny's Green slogan "we let 'em off the hook"


I would really like the first question asked of Belicheck when he wins the SB to be....

So... how does it feel to get caught cheating, get fined for it, lose picks, win COY, then go undefeated and win the SB all in the same year??

To Eli's credit-in last year's WC Philly game, he actually played pretty well-lead them to 6 on their opening drive, then tied up the game with 5 min to go, before the Eagles drove down for the winning score.

He may be nothing more than a career bus driver, but give the guy credit, he's played pretty well in some of the biggest pressure situations recently, and has come up nicely.

Anyhow-back to the subject-I think we all need to CALM DOWN and take a deep breath. There's no reason to panic over this aching loss(nor to sugar coat it for that matter). It's still Jan, and we still have a WAYS to go before the FA period starts in March. And for that matter too, the draft is a LONG way off.

Let's wait until then before we all start to jump to any kinds of conclusions.

I was posting in the context of losing playoff games early in their respective careers...... but you knew that :


BTW: Romo owns the Mannings.

To which I reply.... when the Cowboys get back and win their SB.... it WONT be tainted

Naw, we're not fine but we're damn good and headed in the right direction. WP doesn't have to tell me that, I can see it for myself.. Actually, I think others see it also...

I'd rather have Romo than Eli but to call out Eli after he beat us last week reeks of sour grapes and anyone that would rather be in our situation than to be undefeated and winning the Super Bowl is stupid or flat out lying no matter some silly coach recording which would be no big deal if we were caught doing it.

This is simply overplayed.

Much of our youth comes from guys who don't play at all or contribute little. Free, Marten, Stanback, Brown, Ball, Thompson, Carpenter, etc.

Some of our young "contributors" or backups really aren't so great -- look at the Hatcher, Watkins, Austin, Proctor, Berger. You can't tell me we'd not be better off with some solid 29-30 year old vets over most of these guys.

Yes, but Spears, Canty, Barber, Romo, Ratliff, James, Ware, Hamlin, and Roy are all pretty young by NFL standards and contribute quite a bit.

The guys you are mentioning are almost all either rookies or in their second year and very rarely do you see a good team have a ton of contributors that early on in their careers.

I think it's overplayed that people get in awe after one season with a rookie class when their team goes 7-9. A team like that usually winds up relying on rookies since their veterans are not very good.

And its objective too.

Based on facts.


I actually like the Patriots.... but I will continue to call them on this.
They are part of the "cheating" era in sports. Its the media's responsibility to put them where they belong.... if not now... then historically....

Yeah, its kinda sad huh? No matter how great of season they are having this year , that ugly cheating fact is following right behind Them.
Whats funny too me is here they are working on a posible perfect season , they have been caught cheating and have had other issues surrounding them i.e. steriods , hitting women, cheap shots while playing..etc..etc, and they still can't get as much air time or media attention as the DALLAS COWBOYS can. What can any nfl team do to be more popular than the boys?
Absolutely Nothing!

NOTHING is absolutely correct.. Here in Maryland, the monday after we loss, we were the topic and main focus of every sports talk radio show on the air. It was amazing!!! WTEM980 here in DC spent their entire day talking about us and it went on virtually all week long. That's just how HUGE the Boyz are, EVERYWHERE...
