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.

Your name " Doomsday" is appropriate. Bledsoe did very little yesterday, the bad far outweighed the good. Romo, I believe has the team behind him and that is key and his mobility is a huge factor in todays game.

I disagree that putting Romo in is giving up. If you are convinced he's not the answer then OK, but how could you be at this point. To me keeping Bledoe in is settling, and just like with choosing a good women, that's never a good thing.

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.

Who says putting in Romo is actually throwing in the towel?

The way Bledsoe is playing, I think there is no need for a towel, because the boxer has been K.O.ed and is down for the count.

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.

Eli Manning took 8 sacks and still made plays. Even when Bledsoe wasn't pressured he was wildly inaccurate.

You can believe what you want that does not mean everyone else feels the same way I don't think Parcells is going to bench Bledsoe to make you guys feel happy. BP is going to do what he feels will give us the best chance to win and when the time comes to put Romo in I think he will but 4 games into a season No I don't see it happening.

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.

There were sacks that were the lines fault.

There were times where the sacks were bledsoes fault.

Some want to blame one, some want to blame the other....those with eyes should blame both.

Now as was mentioned in the article, maybe this is where Romo has an edge over bledsoe due to his mobility.

We shall see down the road.

 

[Aikmaniac]

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

I think we'd be at least 3-1, maybe 4-0.

Anyone with an ounce of mobility would've made the Eagles paid for those blitzes yesterday.

What the Eagles did yesterday was give a blueprint to the NFL on how to whip the Cowboys.

The silver lining is that even after all of those turnovers, the Cowboys still had a chance to win the game but Bledsoe kept giving it back.

I'm ready for a change. I'm ready for Romo. What better team to get him warmed up than against the Texans?

But, we all know how Parcells will handle this: "Bledsoe gives us the best chance to win." I'm hoping against hope that Romo has impressed BP enough to make a change. Parcells is all about not turning the ball over and especially not turning the ball over in the red zone.

And if he has a tough time you guys will turn on him as well. If Parcells felt he was ready to take over he would already be out there and the fact is he is not out there and I doubt he will be out there for a good while.

Over his last 14 games, the Cowboys are 7-7. In those games, Bledsoe has 17 touchdowns to go with 20 interceptions. He's also been sacked 46 times. I doubt Romo would be any worse.

It's not really about assigning blame for me. It's about the truth. The truth is good defenses have almost always been able to find Bledsoe when they really make a conserted effort to do so. And when they do the results are almost never good.

Hey I agree with you Brain.

It's like our guards never seen a stunt before. It was embarrasing.

But what is easier to fix at this point? The line or the QB? I'm thinking QB.

I agree. I'm not taking any of the blame away from Bledsoe he had a rough outing as did many players on this team. I also knew that after a week of fans popping off to Philly fans about this game that a loss would cause this reaction. Many of us said this last Friday, a loss and the sky is falling crowd will be all over the place.

I agree.. in fact it MAY actually save the season...but even if it dooms us to losing atleast we are losing while trying to get better than losing while not... sorta like bailing water on a sinking ship instead of just covering your eyes and pretending that there are no holes...

 

[Bleu Star]

For the sake of the remainder of the season and the health of my heart START ROMO NOW.

I cant believe more arnt noticing that...even when he has time (and not just yesterday) he is not throwing the ball well...maybe there is more to him being hurt than what they have said, but his passes clearly dont have the same zip or accuracy they normally have...even alot of passes he IS completing are not being thrown well

It's human nature to be upset with failure. However, the point your missing is we ALREADY KNOW what we have in Bledsoe. Most of those calling for a change are fed up with his usual breakdowns when the pressure is on. This is not an IMPETUOUS decision. This is something that has been happening continuously.

We don't know what we have in Romo, except we do know that BP does think he is ready enough. Well, if he's ready enough, it's time to put him in the game because we need to know if he's the future or we need one, because there is NO FUTURE OR PRESENT with Bledsoe.

actually it look more like Rivera getting his butt handed to him more often than not...(another of the ones I complained about signing)

 

[percyhoward]

Teams know that all they have to do is get pressure up the middle for 2 1/2 quarters, and the rest will take care of itself.

amazing how many are so unwilling to see that...

 

[Cbz40]

Well this Old mans patience has just hit the It's past time for a change at the QB position.

As has already been said "whats the difference between a 27th rated QB and the 28th?

I don't care what anyone says, Romo could not do any worse than what we have now.
