Jimmy Johnson "I Want To Score."

[cowboys2233]

Look folks, what Romo has done in his career is irrelevant. The last 2 years he has been inconsistent, it's got to the point he doesn't even trust himself. There are people open down field and he won't let it go unless they've got 3 steps. The good news, we play a crap team this week so there should be people wide open.

The staff flat won't trust him with the game on the line. Time to draft.

A troll who helps to fund the Zone? Novel concept! Here's to you, sir!

 

[cowboys2233]

He likes kicking 50+ yd field goals. He throws caution to the wind for those.

That's true. LOL.

 

[ConstantReboot]

Just another reason not to let him pass on the last possession... Romo could have easily slid down and taken the sack, clock keeps running and/or Detroit has to burn a time out. Not sure how you can put Romo lack of awarness in that situation on Garrett (who doesn't even call the plays)

My point is that situation called for Romo to be coached during that situation. He wasn't so therefore you ended up with a boneheaded play typical of Romo.

Hindsight would be for an experience coach to come to realize the importance of the situation, call time out, and devise a play that is high percentage and will chew time off the clock. This didn't happen. It was just one of those opportunities that stared Garrett right in the eye to show that he has coaching ability. He just failed to grasp it. Isn't that what a coach is for during crunch time? To realize situations and decide what is best for the team? I don't see Garrett doing much of that.

 

[noshame]

This is flat-out BS. If they didn't trust him, he woudn't be out there. Period.

It should become obvious to even the true believers. The receivers are open, they're not getting the ball, if fact they're getting mad...go figure

And how many points did the cowboys score the other three quarters that didn't involve gimme touchdowns and field goals from excellent field position given to them by special teams and defense? The offense scored 14 points in the 4th of their own volition. That field goal to put us up by 6 was GIVEN to them by the defense that four and outted the lions in their own territory. In fact, they were in field goal range, didn't gain any yards and got a penalty to not only push them back, but to stop the clock. Offense entered the 4th quarter with 88 yards of offense, yet had a lead.

Gonna hang that on Bill Callahan for the terrible play calling and lack of adjusting to the blitz heavy Lion defense, formerly the least blitzing team in the league.

Thank you miss guided soul. But you see, I love the team, I love post season, you sir, simply love the QB.

This place is turned into a joke.

Too many pansies who act like they have 1 shred of football knowledge but in reality they are really just a bunch of whiny fans who only know how to pout like babies.

The guy who posted about 20/20 is spot on. Sad enough we lose a heartbreaker but what's worse is our "fans" here have become about as espn as they come.

Always fun to blame the fanbase for two decades of mediocrity.

 

[OhSnap]

In Dallas' four losses, the offense has scored 17, 15, 10 and 3(Kansas City)..

Dallas Offense is 4th in the league in scoring at 28.3 PPG...
Dallas Defense is 18th in scoring defense at 23.3 a game.

It's not the offense

When they have a good offensive game the defense can't stop no one and when they have a good defensive game the offense cant score. They both pretty much never have a good game on the same day. They don't give you much to hang your hat on except that they'll make it close usually. The defense is better because theyre gettin more turnovers but they still can't cover in a hurry up situation. The offense is better cause Romo is turnin the ball over less and has a more complete receiving corp but they still can't get a hard 3 yds or score when they need to put someone away. I'm pretty sure if they play a complete game on offense and defense someone on special teams will let one get run back or fumble. Only the second team ever to get 4 turnovers and still lose. 9 starters on IR. This team has to have some kind of record for most players on one team that didnt play football last year. Important games look like their being played in the twilight zone and always find some crazy way to end. Your right it's not the offense.

 

[Beast_from_East]

It's called having balls, something Garrett is missing. When was the last time Garrett did something and you thought wow that's gutsy?

Have we even faked a punt or FG in the 3 years Garrett has been head coach?..........................how about a surprise onside kick?...........................going for it in your own territory.................anything gutsy?


I think the answer is no to all of the above............................got to agree, he has no balls to make a call that he could get second guessed on after the game...............always playing it safe.

 

[Beast_from_East]

Garrett is in over his head - clear as day.

You better duck Sarge................the Garrett fanboys are out in full force lately roaming thread to thread trying to prop up their boy...........they will not take kindly to your negative tone, you are not giving Garrett a chance...........LOL

Garrett has no accomplishments on the field to speak of other than his glimmering .500 record, so the new talking points is that Garrett doesnt have the talent to win. All these scrubs on the roster have been holding him back for 3 freaking seasons!!!


They are starting to get desperate, their excuses are getting weaker and weaker the more Ls that go up on the scoreboard.

I respectfully disagree.

What encourages you, my friend?

Bring that analysis that encourages anybody.

.500 ball

Period. No matter what, we are subjected to .500 ball.

Injuries, no injuries. Romo throwing for 500, Romo throwing for 200.

.500 ball.

Bring me something new, bud.

I haven't watched ESPN in over 5 years. Not one Sportcenter.

Bring me something. Anything that tells me the Cowboys are nothing more than average.

I'll listen. Can you give me something? I bet you can't.

Although if you do, more than myself will appreciate it.

I guarantee it.

Yea alot of us would like an answer to this.................................I basically asked this question in another thread and got crickets myself.

 

[kramskoi]

Romo was off target all game other then a couple of throws, i can understand not throwing it and basically giving them free timeouts. If Romo was on and hitting passes then absolutely we should have thrown for a first, We would have won this game if Tyron hadn't held the calls weren't bad the execution was

In that situation I trust Romo a lot more than a sieve pass defense minus starters and completely owned by someone named Calvin Johnson. It ain't even close! Beasley should be able to get a first down in that situation. If you are going to go down, go down with your boots on!

If someone has an answer- be a man and bring it.

Anyone got the stuff?

I honestly would love to see something that would encourage me...

Well first and foremost I think you're missing my main point.

My main point is so many fans here act as if they know exactly what the problem is or what should have been done in every situation as if they were and at NFL coach or X GM with 15 to 20 years of experience. When in reality all They are offering up 20/20 hindsight verbatim nonsense. Which I view as whining and crying.

I've provided my view as answers and solutions but every time I do I get no responses. Because people don't want to hear the truth. They'd rather do one of two things:
A. follow an agenda because they've stuck their name to it so many times that God for bid they be wrong. So regardless of the input to the actual outcome they're gonna like follow and listen to whoever is spinning the result to meet their preconceived notions.

OR

B. They just want to stand with a pitchfork in front of the fire and raise hell because they know the outcome doesn't equal the result that they want so their only outlet other than kicking their TV is coming here and ranting and raving like a five-year-old who didn't get the toy they wanted back on isle five.

Well then out of respect if I take the time to "man up" as a previous poster stated and take the time to give you all my view then I expect the same in return. I expect posters to man up and read it and then to think about it.

I think the answer is something you may already know. To each his own. Now please hear me out beginning to end regardless of whether it's boring or monotonous or even something you may already know. So here it goes:

The NFL as we know it, since even before our beloved Dallas Cowboys became a franchise, has completely changed.

I created a thread sometime a year or so ago about the 90s Cowboys and how they are not walking through the doors of Valley Ranch anytime soon. So any talk of Aikman, Emmitt, Irvin or even Danny White, Randy White, Roger, Drew Pearson, Landry, Jimmy, Lily or Hayes has no relevance to winning games in todays NFL. While those players could transcend into any era, the fact is the teams that they played on no longer exist in any facet across the NFL.

This league saw a major change when free agency was created. It then saw another major change when the Salary Cap was implemented. A more recent change is the salary floor Forcing inept owners to spend at least X amount of dollars on players.

So now we have parity at its greatest. A team like Kansas City can win two games one season and then the next, win four times that amount in just eight weeks.

Why might we wonder how this can happen so quickly? There are probably 20 or more factors that led to those results but the fact is without free agency and without the salary cap it would never have happened because guess what, it never has before.

Teams like San Francisco can take a quarterback who has never started in the NFL, plug him in middle of the season of only his second year in the league and make it all away to the Super Bowl and almost win it. And let's not forget the quarterback that he replaced now resides is the starting quarterback of those same Kansas City Chiefs who have the best record in the entire NFL.

This lead is now predicated on keeping players healthy, scouting every possible player who might just be able to come in off the streets and help you win one or two ballgames, building a core and depth through the draft, constantly churning your roster and sometimes even the coaching staff or front office and scouting personnel. Sadly enough it always has and still to this day includes bending the rules and or cheating there's a reason why all these guys get hurt and no running back on the planet can make it through a full season. I'll be it legal or illegal but performance enhancing drugs or substances run more rent it then they ever have before. The science to create these substances is way ahead of the science that polices them. And believe what you want but just as much of that Blame lies at the foot of these leagues because they are all a business and wow they have to protect their brand the first and foremost have to sell the product. And in today's society the jaw-dropping performance product and freakish athlete with freakish results sells not only to the diehards but more importantly to the casual fan. Just like parity keeps the casual fan watching all of these close games all the way through to the fourth quarter so all those commercials get just as many viewers whether it's the first quarter or the last.

So once you come to terms with that is today's NFL then you can start to look at our beloved Dallas Cowboys.

the difference is romo vs aikman. say what you want about romo, that catastrophic interceptions has led to a loss of trust.

such a bad, bad post....
