lol dude you're way off. Detroit dominated Dallas at the line of scrimmage until the fourth quarter. Detroit's offense is actually watch cost them. After those first two drives the Lions couldn't do anything. They only managed two field goals after the first quarter. Romo had no time in the pocket as Suh really man handled the interior line. Had nothing to do with scheme.

Romo said himself they did some coverage things that he wasn't used to.. Hence why he couldn't get rid of the ball.

We are predictable doomsday.

Just because Romo, Dez, and the Run game are amazing doesn't mean we are not predictable, vanilla, and can be outcoached.

No you are predictable. Alt 3rd down converstion the longest 1 they had was a 3rd and 6 and Matt Ryan ran for it. They stayed in great down and distance because they could run the ball on us.

As for Cowboys yes Romo a franchise QB and Dez and top 3 WR in the NFL is going to hurt the offense, you can spin all you want with your anti Garrett stuff all you want but it is way off the mark. Poor offense do not rank top 7 they do not avg 29 points a game. Please continue on because without this same old rant you would have nothing to say. 95 percent of what you do is come in here ranting against Garrett as if you had a clue how to run an offense. They have and it has been successful 12-4 with a top 7 offense is not magic. I'm sure you are in heaven you got JAG RB out there, a Backup QB and no #1 WR but it is Garrett offense that is the problem? LOL Yeah they put up 28 points not bad for JAGS RB, Backup QB and no top WR in the lineup

Meanwhile you got a guy with a clue on the other team showing you how you get a guy open.

Our idea of getting Weeden into a Rhythm is checking it down to Dunbar every single play.

Julio Jones is on pace for 240 targets this year... Roughly 60 more than the league leader last year.

Do you honestly think Atlanta would be able to function without Julio Jones like Dallas is trying to without Dez? Think about last season when Jones went down that offense clearly wasn't the same. You can talk about schemes all you want, but you don't replace a talent like Dez. To be expecting the same kind of offensive production when you take someone of his caliber out is unrealistic. Yet and still they still put up 28 points and the defense failed them. Atlanta didn't change anything schematically defensively. They just beat our guys off blocks and to the football carier.

Function yes.

We don't have to be predictable. That's Garretts fault.

We're not going to just line up and win games without Romo..

We can't make it this easy for teams to read us and expect to win.

This isn't highschool.

The Cowboys win that game if the offensive line plays at a consistent level for all four quarters. They were gashing them and for whatever reason the OL just fell apart. That's why we lost as much as anything.

For whatever reason? They sold out on the run and the stupid coaches wouldn't adjust.

This isn't college.

If a professional team knows you're going to run a stretch play every time on first down the odds of 1 guy blowing up the play is good.

Atlanta wasn't even stacking the line of scrimmage. They played exactly the way they did in the second half. The Cowboys simply were outplayed. Even last year when teams stacked the line and run blitzed the Cowboys offensive line still emposed their will. They simply aren't the same unit right now.

Dude we played a game and a half. :laugh:

Not even a full game with Dez.

Not to mention last year we looked pretty average through the first three games. Wasn't till the New Orleans game where Dallas really established themselves.

1st game Romo was hurt and not ready last year. Look at the run game we had first 9 games. You know the record no one broke for like 40 years until we did it last year.

That's Garretts MOTTO. On offense we are a take what the defense gives us. Even more so with Romo not at the helm.
Seeing the falcons offense and how they get him the ball all over the field. He was in the backfield, in the slot alot on both sides of the field. Man. They are getting their top play-maker the ball. Would love to see that once we get Dez back. Heck we could try some with Terrance Williams (pray he catches the ball).

I don't disagree with this statement ...
However wasn't the buzz at the ranch was Dez wasn't good at increasing his route tree and playbook movement ? I don't know for sure but I thought I read that knock on him
Don't get me wrong I'm a huge proponent of Dez and getting him the ball in multiple ways but thought that wasn't a strength of his .. As a top tier receiver you would hope that wasn't the case but maybe it is ?
I do feel last week was more about playing not to lose rather than going for the jugular and the win ... It looked that way by design... However the defense was just plain horrible in the trenches ...

And Romo was hurt this year in the second game. Yes our run game wasn't the same, but since when do you need a dominant run game to win? You don't. If you have an elite quarterback and he's healthy going into the playoffs with a decent defense you have a shot.

A good team dictates the game to the opposing defense. You ever hear Brady and the Patriots saying crap like this?

What did we give atlanta? Freeman was a complete animal out there and julio was eating us alive. Did we dictate that or do they just adjust and execute their game plan. This take what the d gives you is silly to me.

I've been saying this for long. We never adjust and counter attack defenses. It's so frustrating. It's a big reason why so many 8-8 seasons.

Yeh that's why Romo had his best year when we were committed to running the ball.

I never said it doesn't help when you run the football, but you don't have to dominate running it to win.

Not every team has a Tom Brady. Even Elway couldn't win without T. Davis.

A good run game not only helps out the QB but also the defense from getting gassed. Just look at the game we just played last Sunday.

All offenses are designed to take what the defense gives them. The key is having the offense to actually take it.

Exactly
Weeden didn't take what was given except to the short recievers
Plenty of down field plays were there for the taking without throwing into coverage
There were wide open guys to throw to
