Mike and Mike Show

[rathalarge]

Both Mike's agree, that Bledsoe is killing the Cowboys. The following was said:
-The Cowboys had the ball for just under 37 minutes, so they were controlling the clock.
-The running game is going good. The team rushed for 146 yards.
-Terry Glenn has experienced a resurgence. T. O. is a good receiver. Jason Witten is a good receiver.
-Bill played Tony Romo so long in the preseason to see if he could play. The problem with him being the second team QB, means he gets little snaps with the first team. But he could wait for three more weeks to change, and the amount of snaps in practice won't make it any better.
-Bledsoe was able to run for a TD,but the fact that he is immobile does not challenge the defense near the goal line, as witnessed yesterday.
-Bledsoe has been in the leaugue for a jillion years, and there is NO reason for him to hold the ball as long as he does, which resulted in about four sacks.

It ended with Golic saying, he thinks Parcells thinks Romo can play, but has he lost enough confidence in Bledsoe after yesterday to make a change. His statistics for the year of only 50 % passing, and 5 td's to 7 int's is something to think about.

Romo time is getting close to chiming

The Eagles are often in games where they dont control the clock, doesnt mean anything. Their offense can and does usually strike quickly which is part of the reason they rotate the defensive players so much.

God I hope so ... but I have my doubts. Not sure BP pulls the plug in time here to rescue the season. And I'm positive he won't do it immediately.

It's important for me to add I don't think all our problems go poof and go away with a changing of the guard under center. But I do believe there is a cap on how good this team can be with Bledsoe manning that position.

Well it certainly doesn't mean much when your QB is handing the ball back to them at an unprecedented rate. Ball control doesn't mean much when you are constantly turning it over.

It was a tough game but excuse me if I'm not jumping on the Romo wagon right now. Bledsoe did some good things in this game and yes made mistakes but I still feel Dallas best chance this season is with Bledsoe. Once Romo enters the season is pretty much done.

We're done now. We're like a zombie that doesn't know it's dead and won't fall over.

Bledsoe can get us to 9-7 or 10-6.

But he's too easily defensed by good defenses to expect this team to get far in the playoffs.

The fact is if Romo doesn't start this year he will next and I'd just as soon see what we have in the kid to determine if we're going to need to go QB shopping in the offseason.

Why are we done if Romo enters the season? Were the Pats done when Brady entered the season? I'm not saying Romo is Brady. Can he be as awful as Bledsoe on road? Yes. Is there a possibility that he might be better? Yes.

We know what we have in Bledsoe. A guy who turns into a vegetable when the heat is on.

If Romo is ready, there is no better time than this week.

Brillant! Well said.

In your opinion we are done in mine we have a long ways to go before this season is over and I'm not going to over react to this loss. I expected a tough game and that is exactly what we got. We came up short and made mistake on both sides of the ball and in the end it cost us but this season is far from over. As for Romo I have said unless the season is done I don't think he should start and entering next season if the plan by the organization is to make Romo the starter then name him the starter from the get go and have him work soley with 1st string unit but you don't pull this kind of crap after 4 games.

Right now we have the 27th rated QB in the NFL.

For some reason I can't imagine Romo being much worse than that.

We'll win when we are supposed to. When the blocking is just so and the receivers are wide open and the sun is shining brightly and the birds are singing ... yeah we'll win. But it's so easy to see when this team is gonna lose a game because of that position these days. If the heat is getting there, we are cooked. And the truth is any good defensive team should be able to find him, he's not that hard to locate.

 

[SultanOfSix]

...with 1st string unit but you don't pull this kind of crap after 4 games.

It's not just the first four games THIS year. It's also the last eight games last year. Yeah, we had Tucker and Petiti on the line, but we know what happens to Bledsoe when things aren't perfect. He can't play, and this is a well known fact.

He could be the 28th ranked QB. j/k

I agree with you 100%. Nothing against Drew, but IMO, he can not get us the only thing that really matters in this league. The Lombardi. We need to see if Romo can be that guy, or if we need to get someone next season.

 

[chinch]

the problem is that Drew is alot like Arod in that he puts up meaningless "stats" vs bad teams and wilts under pressure. hard to bench a guy with career numbers.

tuna is old-school to a fault with QBs... he doesn't want "mistakes" and wants a "bus driver" but fails to address teh fact that our QB crashed the bus in Jax and just lost his driving license in philly with dumb, idiotic play.

now, we'll beat a few bad teams, perhaps be 5-2 and face the same "drew meltdown" in a big spot again and again

 

[SkinsandTerps]

The OL is still porous. Putting Romo back there IMO, is giving up, he will feel the heat relentlessly. There is a lot of football to be played, if the Cowboys get to the point where they lose 3 in a row based on QB play or are out of the potential playoff race, than I believe that Romo will come in.

 

[dbair1967]

Bledsoe can get us to 9-7 or 10-6.

.

you apprently have more faith in him than I do now, because I'm not sure we can get to 9-7 or 10-6 this way

where are the w's? Texans...Cards on the road...probably Tampa at home and Detroit at home...you'd think we can handle those 4 teams...that'd get us to 6, meaning we'd have to win at least 4 of the following to be 10-6, Giants (play them 2 times), Skins away, Carolina away, Indy at home (if McNabb can do what he did yesteday with no talent at WR, what is Manning going to do with all those guys?) Atlanta away and Philly & New Orleans at home, and right now the Saints are a better team than we are and are far better coached...I think Philly pretty proved the same thing yesterday

Your entitled to your opinion and I'm entitled to mine. I don't want to see Dallas throw in the towel and bench Bledsoe and yes that is exactly what I think will happen if such a move is made this season would be pretty much over. You guys have the right to jump on him all you want but thank god you don't control this team because to throw it away after 4 games in the season is about as over reactive as it gets.

 

[percyhoward]

Does anybody honestly believe we'd be worse than 2-2 with Romo right now?

How long before Bledsoe loses this team Dooms?

The O-line is going to get lambasted this week for sacks that weren't their fault.

Owens is starting to lose patience... and I don't blame him.
