My Meaningless Thoughts on the Game...

[dboyz]

Who's hanging him? I'm just saying don't whitewash it. It wouldn't have mattered any more to me if that pass was the 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 99th play of that drive. It was horrid. I can't blame Parcells for the throw. The timing of the play call, sure. But the throw itself? How is that on Parcells?

Now, on to the timing of giving him his shot. I've never seen a QB more set up to be a hero. Not in my life. I'm not joking. Never seen it.

A whole half of football, the ball first, and down by less than a TD is "gold Jerry, gold." Forget that nonsense about the opponent. You couldn't sell me that if I was doing Nyquil shooters.

Just being honest.

I don't agree with this. Sure it was a big opportunity. But there were also lots of drawbacks. We were behind, only 5 points, but still. We were facing a very good defense with a line that was shredding our OL. Our running game had been pretty much non-existent. He wasn't exactly just asked to go out and drive the bus.

And btw, I agree with winicki or whoever said it, we should have come out for the second half much differently. Run the ball, play action, try to get something going without putting the whole thing on Romo.

maybe...

or maybe it was suicide with the way the team was playing...Bledsoe had just sucked the life out of the crowd and the team with another of his patent screw ups...we couldn't run the ball, we couldn't pass the ball and we couldn't block anybody...yet we send in a once used virgin to save the day...

Did you watch with the sound on? The crowd was back with Romo in.

 

[L-O-Jete]

I'm not angry. I'm bewildered at how 2 sacks and 3 INTs is a reason for "hope."

Have our expectations really sunk that low? Mine haven't.

And it's not just that, Romo seems incredibly reckless with the ball, there were at least 3 more throws he never should have let go, the first completion to TO went through the fingers of 2 Gints. I really don't think Romo's "moxie" (highly overrated IMO) can make up for his other shortcomings.

 

[MichaelWinicki]

If I was a backup QB wanting my shot, that was the best it will ever get.

Again, who is not giving Romo the rest of the season? I'm simply saying don't whitewash it. Maybe it would help to explain what whitewash is? I don't know any other way to make it any clearer, but perhaps explaining that would help.

Yes, please explain what "whitewash" means-- it might give you a chance to let some of this anger go.

It seems your expectations for Romo in that situation were far more than what my were. I guess that's OK to.

No it didn't. There were three additonal ones, but you can only point out one that wasn't even one? I think you're just imagining things.

By chance were you watching Eli Manning also?

I saw similar type throws.

Just thought you might like to know.

 

[Frosty]

Good question.


The fact is Hos this season is over with, like it or not. So the next best thing is to see if Romo can be a long term solution or not. The second next best thing is to start working some of the young o-lineman into the lineup to see if they can play.

It's just another "rebuilding season". No use getting angry about it-- it won't change anything.

that is the truest statement Yet,,,, The Cowboys CAN NOT and Have Not beat agood team this year. They are on the way to 8-8 at best with Bledsoe, So the season would still be over,,,,I think Parcels new that, Wit In Romo you gota wild card, it will give you ups and downs but there's a possible future in sight, A season of 8-8 with Bledsoe Retireing and Romo still no game expereience...

This is a Tell all week,,, :war:

Every opportunity has drawbacks. Holy cow, let's put him out there with kid gloves?

No, that accomplishes nothing.

I'm sorry, this is not directed at you, but this is the same mentality as giving trophies ot everyone so no one feels bad.

like I said in another post to me personally

this franchise needs to know what it has in Romo and that is only possible by playing him...if we waited till next year he would be 27-28 and still need that year of evaluation leaving him at the age of 28-29 before we know what we have...that is unacceptable...

we weren't going to win a Superbowl with Bledsoe...I can garantee that so what was the point of continuing having him suck the life out of the offense...

this also has a very good side effect in that we may now be able to accurately judge the olines performance...

Romo threw some dumb passes... but it was always gonna be a learning curve from the bench to the field...

I really feel for the first time in 4 years Cowboy fans have something to be happy about as we are gonna finally do what we should have been doing all along...

growing our own offense instead of patchwork

 

[L-O-Jete]

How about the wild fling towards Crayton? I was to PO'd to remember and I don't have the game recorded to go over it, but are you telling me you think he was careful? And he still threww 3 int's?

 

[superpunk]

No chance. Once the crowd found out Romo was in, they lost their mind.

just being honest Hos

No such thing as ideal conditions. Sorry, that's Pollyanna thinking.

 

[StanleySpadowski]

I can't believe that some people confuse love of the Cowboys with hatred for Bledsoe.

Wanting a craptacular QB no longer starting for your favorite team can be convoluted into hoping that team loses?

When are the Bledsoe supporters going to realize that he's not a very good QB and hasn't been for years if ever, the Patriots realized it, the Bills realized it, now the Cowboys realized it.....when will some of you?

This team is an 8-8 or 9-7 team with Bledsoe at the helm and out of the playoffs. With Romo it may be 5-11 or it may be 11-5.

It's a no-lose situation.

 

[Hostile]

It seems your expectations for Romo in that situation were far more than what my were. I guess that's OK to.

In the old days picket fences would get dirty and to make them look better they'd get a coat of whitewash. Right over the old dirt and paint.

That's what I'm saying, people are whitewashing this as something hopeful and pleasant. I just don't see it.

Hey, whitewash makes it look better. But that's all it does.

I will tell you why it is a reason for hope. To me it looks like most including Parcells has seen the light regarding Bledsoe.

I have no idea what Romo will amount to...no idea. However, I might have an idea if he actually plays the rest of the year.

If he stinks it up and does not show better decision making, I think Dallas makes a big move for a QB in the draft instead of drafting Joe Smith from Middle Eastern Valley Wyoming State!

I have always always maintained that it is about the QB. The only way we get this position settled sooner than later is by playing Romo now.

How appealing of an option would it be to ride out this season with Bledsoe and then go into next season with Bledsoe as the starter again or starting a still green Romo?

Make no mistake about it, Romo will absolutely positively be given a shot at the Dallas QB postion. The question is will it be this year or next?

Being I am not 100% sold on Romo, I say make it this year so we can once and for all do something smart at the QB postion.

I agree that every opportunity has drawbacks...some have a higher degree of being successful than others

but none have an opportunity to be successful without the right tools...

and if you get the right tools...in our case by "playing time"... "first string snaps" "team effort" and "coaching" it seems that our boy Romo was put at a disadvantage

Hos, I thought Romo had some bad throws... he also did some good things.

I see some shades of "gray" piercing the "white".

You know, Bledsoe's career winning % is roughly .500 give or take two games. Big suprise we are .500 huh?
