Denver couldn't have done this to romo

Romo had awful games against good defenses too.

Jaylon is a rookie. A lot of those guys out there were rookies. A lot of those guys were 2nd year guys......you rant and rave about having youth.....but when that youth looks like....youth....you are in trouble.

Jaylon's not a rookie. He's a first year player on the field but not a rookie. Spending a year on the team and in the S&C program is a big benefit an actual rookie doesn't have.

1. Dez is no longer elite WR. NE has proven you don't really need true #1 if QB play is exceptional. So I am not totally alarmed that he is tier 2 WR at this stage. What does concern me is $17mill price tag.

2. Teams have adjusted to Dak. He might not be top QB we all hoped for but I still see guy fighting to very end. Thats good enough for me as long as their RB & DEF is good.

3. Jaylon Smith was really bad. I can't believe people aren't talking about this. Maybe its just such a feel good story no one wants to discuss it. I watched him very closely. Can't shed blockers, was sitting back and waiting for RB to initiate contact. Might be seeing some muscle fatigue as I saw him literally crumble to ground chasing RB. To be fair Lee and entire defense looked slow and tackled poorly. But I do believe this defense needs Hitchens back.

4. Tank is really good when healthy.

5. I am done with Jeff Heath.

Sorry this couldn't be more positive but this is where I am at right now.

All points are great and agreed, but 1, 3 and 5 are CONCRETE.

It means nothing if you aren't on the field. You don't get better until you get on field experience.

 

[Shuff]

HE WAS NEVER ELITE.

We may have the worst fans in the NFL

that's what Steven A says.

 

[TWOK11]

So we shouldn't be able to beat some teams... Nor be even competitive.
Not good baby.

Almost every team every year will have at least 1-2 games a year where they don't show up. Sometimes it's against good teams, sometimes it's against bad teams. When it's against good teams you lose big.

If we played this game again it almost certainly wouldn't play out this way. It's simply the perfect storm of awful showing combined with a road game against a top-10 team.

Carolina made him look like a clown in his final game here. Stop.

Nonsense. Give any player a year in the S&C program and a year to study and that player will be more advanced than he would being a true rookie.

Jaylon Smith is not a rookie. Neither is Charles Tapper.

 

[TWOK11]

They won't be favoroed vs the chiefs or packers. Plus both the games should be tougher than Today.

If we're a 1 or 2 loss team going into those games we will absolutely be favored at home against both. Don't be silly.

 

[Blackspider214]

I will add:

Byron Jones is a 1st round BUST.

That and the Chaz Green pick was idiotic.

From your Keyboard to my Eyes... I want to believe you. Here we go.

Maybe but they also aren't your standard 2nd year player either. So to expect them to play like guys who have a full season of PT under the belt would be silly.

 

[TWOK11]

We didn't show up in the Meadowlands last year, had their offense been anything other than terrible that game would have been every bit as ugly as this one.

It happens. Watch the tape, learn from it, then burn it and move on.

Agreed. More advanced than a rookie but not quite a 2nd year player. It's like a true freshman and a redshirt freshman. That's all I'm saying.

How long long you think Romo lasts have to chuck it every play while wearing Von Miller?

Mmmm... I think something deeper is happening and it may just bear out this year, but okay.
I'll play along. For now...

 

[Deep_Freeze]

Well we stank.

Can't come with any positives on that, everyone looked like they visited a weed shop last night. DLaw is the only one that showed up, course he just wants a big check so he has motivation. Dak was probably fresh off another commercial shoot.

I saw it last week, but I was told it was being 'negative'. Nah its just what I saw in a win or loss. I smell them stinking as they are getting on the plane right now....they may need to check their bags to see if they have some of that stinky inky on them.

Just like in 2013? Oh wait…

Can you Romo fanboys please go start a Romo-only message board and daydream how he could've won today, last season again Green Bay, slain Darth Vader, whooped Rocky, kicked Superman's arse and created the heavens?

That's the fantasy world some of you live in.

Don't see how when both those teams are better than the broncos.
