Ok I don't recall the Cowboys ever giving up 30 points a game with Romo what years are you referencing?
The Cabo Curse
I've told this story before, but a few years ago Roomo was playing in the annual celebrity golf tournament at Lake Tahoe. With two holes to go Romo had I think a 3 point lead (they use a point system not a stroke system). All he had to do was par the last two holes, and not totally screw up and he wins easily. He is on the tee on 17, which is a par 5. He is a big hitter so this is an easy hole to reach in 2 strokes. He bombs his drive in the fairway. He is only a 7 iron from the green. For a scratch golfer a 7 iron is almost money in the bank. He has water on the left, and sand on the right. In other words, there is plenty of room on a par 5 to keep the ball middle of the green or right to avoid the water. Sand is not great but it is not a penalty stroke and a drop either. Again, it is a 7 iron to the green for an Eagle attempt to virtually put the tournament away. What does Romo do? He pulls his 7 iron into the middle of the pond on the left. He bogeys the hole and loses comes in second. I thought at the time, "what a choke!" But my second reaction was, it was a very Romo thing to do.
I'd say the 32nd-ranked defense (lowest all-time for Cowboys) in 2013 would be considered horrible.
No.... Cowboys never had 13 ALL PRO
Fans are only a 1/3 of voting so 2/3 is players and coaches.
In 2007?
For me personally, the Curse began on March 28, 1994 when Jerry got rid of Jimmy.
The offense under JG would start slow and sputter until Romo when into the 2minute drill when they got behind. Gameplanning was poor and only when Romo started calling plays in the huddle would things start to move. The flip side is that the team ended up pass happy and running 70% of their plays out of shotgun. Only after SL was brought in did they have a legit running game and a more balanced offense. JG wasted Romo's career while Romo covered up JG's sins for years. I wonder if they are buddies now? haha.
I believe you!
Like I said though I don’t fault the guy for not winning a ring in those years we had bad defenses. Never have. But I also don’t think it’s an excuse to just go 8-8 either and not make the playoffs.
So we should dismiss what Crayton says simply because he was a role player and like everyone else made mistakes???? Even if he like you said kisses Romo's backside, how does that make what he's sharing any more valid or not?
Honestly though we went 8-8 with 4-12 or 5-11 teams.
Jimmy Johnson was the lead shielding and Jerry Jones is the kryptonite of his own franchise.
Not this again.
