If you are not going to use Orton or believe in Orton, why waste a roster spot on him?

Because he's our BACKUP insurance policy which every team has??? And has had since the 1800s. Most Teams don't have backups because they secretly believe their starter can't get it done. Duh.

Once again you ignore the lack of run game.

I guess we're giving up on the season already? It's only week 2 guys, and even though we lost today, we're still first in our division. :D

and if Orton came in and hit Dez we'd be screaming play the player with the hot hand? You cant live your life by what ifs. Romo is hurt, accept the fact that the Cowboys banked on his health for a whole season KNOWING he was going to get whacked.

Two things here.

Romo dud hit Dez for the blitz beating game changing play, he dropped the ball.

Second, Dez took himself out for about 90% of that last drive we kicked the fg on....and after the game we found out it was because his back was stiff and he couldn't move well.

Romo and Dez were just not themselves in the fourth qtr, it's not a normal thing and I imagine they both play well next week.

So we have a back up, but we A) dont believe in him, or B) rather play our starter whos hurt and continues to miss targets or kills drives. And than to prove we know we are banking on everything, we dont keep a younger QB in the hopes of the future. Go us.

Yes the run game sucks, but i was told here that we had a running game again and our runners are so awesome and EVERYONE wnated dunbar because even tho dunbar tells the people he sucks, our fans believe in high suckage, color me impressed with you coming late to the party, yet again. Maybe if you understood football and understand our running game sucks because our runners suck, well than youd be in a better class. but your stuck in football 101, bad running backs make a for a bad running game. IE, compensate.

Harris came in for Dez and had really badly timed false start.

And if your qb says he is good enough to go he goes.

Sure, being the reason im the coach and my job security is on the line, yea, id rather play the hurt qb instead of a healthy, one. Remind me all the coaches that like that idea and where they are at?

My qb is hurt and i spent money and a roster spot on a back up, the back up better be ready. Or else im bringing up the kid on PS and maybe get a few years out of him at a cheaper rate if i dont believe in my QB, because lets face it, i love me some unemployment.

Thanks for pointing that out. Dez came out on that last drive and we went cold after that. I'm stunned more wasn't made of it at the time or since.

You just said you wanted Dez out if he was hurt, he came out and Harris made a big mistake.

Now your mad about conditioning?

Dez back stiffened up....what can you do about it?

Well considering our guys are usually banged up and take longer to heal and be ready, or we just play them hurt because as ive stated, Garrett is really proving he doesnt want thsi job, yes id start making changes there, a stiff back is one thing, fine, but the offense should be workign with Harris and making sure he knows hes the number 3 guy. I dont want to see Williams in games just yet, just because he was drafted or signed, like when i saw him in teh GIants game, games like that. But Harris could be worked into the offense more often than he is so hes ready and warmed up for this type of situations. It was a bad call on our side to A) hope Romo makes the season unscathed, and B, not work some of the recievers into the offense so they are ready for prime time. Harris showed he wasnt ready and its not because hes a bad player.

Yeah, for whatever reason, our drive was effectively over with that Harris penalty. No one could get open, or Romo couldn't find them if they were open. He just threw check-downs to Witten and missed two of them - not that it really mattered because they wouldn't have picked up any yardage to speak of anyway even if they were complete. I hope we activate Beasley next week; maybe he can get open in the middle.

and this is a reason some people just assume instead of having a conversation and finding out what the other person either means or where they are coming from. Nope, showing his intelligence is limited and only good at insulting people.

Nobody should be angry about this game honestly.

Beat the rams and chargers and we are in good shape with two conference wins.


Yes, you are correct, but yes we should be angry because we should be passed these type of situations, not still scratching our heads and saying "where did we go wrong"

Because It's hard to argue with someone who contradicts themselves the minute their ignorance is called on. This thread is pointless. You do NOT blame your QB when your Oline only nets you 30-odd yards rushing. The passing game is NOT why we lost. But think what makes you able to sleep at night..

guy, if your qb is hurt, hes NOT doing you any good. Even if he goes in there to hand uit off the D is going to figure it out. OUr running game doesnt suck because they are there, they suck because this organization should have dumped two of them last season and churned the roster, we are standing here with a loss because we didnt get better RB;s, plain and simple, But if your qb is hurt, dont play him or have a back up if you are not going to use him.
