My Meaningless Thoughts on the Game...

[Cbz40]

I think we need an OL just as much.

I'm all for finding out if Romo is the QB, but don't throw out this BS about he made us hope again. No QB throwing 3 INTs in one half is going to give me hope. Not even Roger Staubach.

He played badly. Period.

Thrilled we got to finally see him, but there are no excuses for him. The field was ready to harvest and instead of a sickle he brought a hoe and chopped it down.

Don't give me this bs Hos....I've heard you say it a million times. You start with the QB 1st.........then OL.

In this case QB...OL equal priority.

And you think he did a good job of that?

well from what I could see

did he know the down and distance...yes
did he managed the clock well...yes
did he managed the huddle well..yes
did he handled subs. well...yes
did he get the players lined up and call the proper play..yeah i guess so it didn't look like a chinese fire drill

so I guess he did okay there

Did he make the right reads?
Did he take care of the ball? or is this not part of the managing?

sorry but I don't think there was anything "honest" about that post... nor do I think it is "hatred" of Bledsoe... I think it is realization that Bledsoe is not the answer and that moving away from Bledsoe and onto Romo should be the logical and rational choice for those that wish to see us get eventually back into the superbowl... this had nothing to do with panic per say as much as it was Bledsoe finally playing himself out of the starting position and deservedly so...Bill was more than patient enough...

the only one's to truly blame in this matter are both Bill and Bledsoe...certainly not those mean ole fans that couldn't stand to see Bledsoe being...well Bledsoe anymore....

I think the fans needed hope and Romo provided that...I also think the team needed it and Romo did it for them also...

Romo made bad decisions/throws but Bledsoe has done the same...

like it or not there is gonna be a learning curve coming off the bench especially after F O U R years there...mistakes are to be expected...repeat mistakes however are not.... but the only real whitewashing that has been going on with most fans is hope not "hate"

Why wasn't my post honest? Are you saying I'm lying? I'm just stating my opinion of the matter. Pardon me for not holding hands and singing "Kumbaya" after that atrocity last night. And I'm not too surprised you would take exception to my remarks since your posts on Bledsoe have been consistently negative. Not that I have a problem with that. I couldn't care less who likes who. But this notion that "oh well Romo stunk but it didn't matter, Bledsoe's terrible anyway so it was always hopeless" is where I have to shake my head in disgust.

IMO we win that game last night if Bledsoe stays in. It was a very winnable game until Romo started giving away 17 points. After that? After that you try to improve. 3 of the 4 sacks on Bledsoe he had no chance, players coming in clean. That won't win with any QB so that has to be cleaned up. As does the defenses penchant for giving up big plays. But if any of you people are annoyed that I don't want to stand in the line for "I'm so excited, our QB can move and make plays! WHO CARES IF THEY'RE FOR THE OTHER TEAM HE'S NOT BLEDSOE SO DING DONG THE WITCH IS DEAD.:bang2:

One of the big differences for me is that Romo didn't look scared to death every time he dropped back to pass.

Romo does bring hope.

Bledsoe's like an empty fridge. It doesn't matter how many times you open the door and look in, it's still the same empty fridge.

You suddenly remember your Romo freezer. Right before you open the door, there's a glimmer of hope that there's a frozen pizza or something in there. Most likely there's nothing in there either except for some freezer pops but there's still that glimmer of hop.

There weren't even freezer pops in there last night.

Get over it. Bledsoe's days as the starter are over. Romo from now on. We need to find out if he is the guy anyway. Sad thing is that I think that Bledsoe finally got broken after all the sacks- he was flinching and giving up on plays that even last year he did not do. He was done. Add to that the really stupid pick and it was time.

 

[superpunk]

Romo does bring hope.

Why? He made some nice plays, plays that made you go "Yeah!" But he followed them up with garbage mistakes, which has been the mentality Parcells has kept him on the bench for.

Where is this hope coming from?

Nevermind - I already know. As long as it's Not Bledsoe, it's hope.

 

[Zaxor]

That's fine - there is hope for the future. There always is. But there was no hope from that game. And I don't think anyone wants to hear about how much Romo did well after he tossed three picks in a half. I know I don't. Then again, I'm not creaming my pants just because Romo isn't Bledsoe. I need to see more than that.

nothing wrong with that...

but as for me I am happy...not that we lost...but that we start to have a future superbowl now.... Romo or no Romo but atleast I can watch the games now with more than a morbid fascination...and can look forward to brighter days ahead

to many the relief of not being burden with that yoke of mediocrity is uplifting and does give hope...

I am just sorry that others can't or don't feel that way

To some extent. Yeah.

 

[L-O-Jete]

Romo does bring hope.

While Romo sparked the offense at times with more mobility than Bledsoe's ever had, the mistakes he made with his arm overshadowed anything he did with his feet.

When you replace my yoke of mediocrity with a yoke of absolute trash, I don't feel uplifted.

There's not enough moxie in the world.

I always liked my lottery ticket comparison.

Drew Bledsoe is a lottery ticket that has been scratched off already and no money was won.

Tony Romo is like a lottery ticket that has not been scratched off yet. May get a loser, but always a small possibility of winner being under there.

I just know if I was offered a lottery ticket that had been scratched off and was not a winner or I was offered a lottery ticket that had not been scratched off yet, I know which one I would pick.

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.

The problem I have is that Romo seems to not realize that its okay to not try and make a play on every throw. You shouldn't throw into double and triple coverage consistently. Some times it actually is better to take a sack than to throw the ball. Maybe he can learn that, some QB's never learn that.

 

[Hostile]

Don't give me this bs Hos....I've heard you say it a million times. You start with the QB 1st.........then OL.

In this case QB...OL equal priority.

You've also heard me say games are won and lost on the LOS.

I still believe the QB is the key. Last night the designated driver had the keys and our QBs (plural) were wasted. I have no desire to debate who was more drunk. They were both drunk.

I blame our damned drunken kicker.

Hey, just stab the yoke and your egg will cook a little more evenly.

 

[Hostile]

... I didn't even start an evaluation...much too early.. and I hope nobody did either...he did some good things and some bad but certainly not enough to be evaluated on

but yes there is hope...now that Bledsoe is gone (hopefully)

Bledsoe meant D O O M...mediocrity...14 year vet doing the same stupid things over and over again... no future, no present, no nothing

sheesh lets let Romo have atleast 10 games before we call him hopeless shall we..until than there is hope

I'm not calling Romo "hopeless" Zax. I'm saying the proclamations of "hope" after a shabby performance ring hollow.

 

[superpunk]

To some extent. Yeah.

Trust me - I know. And it's not to some extent - it's to the whole extent, or something.

Hey, just stab the yoke and your egg will cook a little more evenly.

I'll yolk you.

Hope comes easily when you had a beat up Aikman, QC, Hutch, Henson, Teste and Bledsoe....................:bang2: Romo showed something in the pre-season games which is more than we can say for all those other QBs I've listed.
