The best receivers drop balls - give the guy a break, we won....


The best games don't go on 5 game streaks of dropped balls. If you're a big time reciever, and for whatever reason you arent a big part of the game plan. Wether it be the other team is trying to take you outta the game, the gameplan isnt being run through you, etc. You HAVE to catch the catchable balls thrown your way, you just have to.

The whiners will complain as they do about every single thing, to hell with them I'm sick of fans who have nothing to say except to complain. This team went out played a solid game offense, defense and special team and took down a 4-1 team. RW playing with bad ribs did not contribute much except for a big 3rd down catch to move the chains. To me I’m interested in this team going out and playing good football and winning games and they did that period

I guess you will be happy when you tune in all week to all of the NFL talk shows and the lead off story about Dallas is how bad Roy played.

I like W's. I think you might be a bit nervous if you just came off a hit that could have crushed your ribs as well. I don't think Roy Williams has ever been hit that hard in his football career, and if someone can find a video of a bigger hit, post it.

He'll have his games. What matters most is that this receiving corps as a whole is succeeding, and we just posted a big win on a great team.

I won't complain about it if he doesn't complain about it.

I fully expect RW to blow up sometime soon, but I'm hopeful he won't. He could be a big part of the story if he can stay the course.

good post....but I question how great they are. No disrespect to them....but if they are great....then it is just a matter of us being consistent. We spread the ball around...we kept our pass rushers fresh....we kept our RBs fresh....we gave Romo periodic breaks by running the ball even when we were not having success. we played physical on defense. WE CAN PLAY THIS WAy....the coaching staff just needs to trust the ROSTER they put together and rotate players in. Getting rid of the TOs and Tanks and Pacs was supposed to be about allowing this ENTIRE team to contribute. So start doing that more consistently.

I've already clearly stated I don't listen to one single thing those people say. I will say this one more time so maybe you'll understand it, because you are WAY too hung up on what the medie says. The sports media in this country figured out long, long ago, that negative stories/talk about the Cowboys leads to higher ratings and more newspaper subscriptions. They do that stuff on purpose, they are gonna point out every pimple and flaw they can find to keep those ratings up.

Doomsday - Believe me man, I'm right there with you about the "whiners" as you call them. I'm as big of a kool-aid drinker as there is on this forum. One of the reasons I rarely post is because I would do nothing but argue with the genius's that have nothing but terrible things to say about Romo, Jerry, Wade, etc. However, with RW11, he's incapable of doing the most basic thing that WRs are asked to do. It would be one thing if it was just this game that he dropped passes. But big time recievers (which he repeatedly has claimed to be) don't have 5 game streaks with drops, they just don't. The other main reason I don't post a lot is because I generally don't like to comment on things that I don't have direct experience with. It's hard for me to criticize Wade, because I've never been a head coach, I'm not there on a daily basis, I don't know what goes on behind closed doors. If you look at my post history, almost all of them deal with offensive line play because I am an offensive line coach. Well, I also play football, and I'm the number 1 receiver for our team, so I know first hand what it does to my team when I drop passes. RW11 HAS to start catching the ball every time it hits his hands, or Romo is gonna start ignoring him and that hurts the offense. I've seen it way too many times, if you have a drop or two every game, the QB starts going elsewhere because he doesn't trust you.


I don't have an agenda against RW11, as a Cowboy fan I want nothing more than to see him establish himself as one of the best in the game, but his drops worry me, and my original point in responding to this thread, is very simple. Just because we won, doesn't mean Roy gets a pass for drops in this game and all the previous ones. He needs to start catching the football.

Count me in. Roy didn't play well, but I have to think his ribs are still pretty sore. Besides, his teammates stepped up.

Huh? Please tell me these catchable balls that he has dropped up until yesterday?

Sorry but I'm not pulling the plug either. I watched the guy at UT and he's capable of greatness. There's definitely no Romo ~ RW11 connection yet though.

Even though RW is EXPECTED to be the #1 lead dog doesn't mean all hell should break loose if he isn't! Honestly, I don't care which of our WRs are producing as long as #9 has someone he can rely on. Yes, JJ looks bad because he'd given up multiple picks and big $$$ to get RW but if the team's winning should it really matter to us as fans? Jones has the right to be up in arms..after all, it's his $$$ that's being stolen at the moment by #11, but IMO the fanbase shouldn't be concerned until it's costing us w's.

I agree he needs to hold on to the balls when they come his way for his career that has not been a big issue and I think it will work itself out. Like any individual player you assess your play and go back to practice and continue to work. We will see how everything plays out over the course of the year.

So what RW did not have a big day....we WON. Ausitn did. THis is something the Cowboy fans, players, media, front office, coaches etc......this is something we need to get away from. We are a football team. We need to STOP with the self imposed pressure to only APPRECIATE winning a certain way. This kind of mentality is why we have not functioned as a FOOTBALL team in a long time. If we are not throwing bombs or getting sacks or getting INTs or getting long TD runs, the whole Cowboy nation comes unglued.

I have seen this team QUIT when they give up embarassing plays. Heck this defense gave up an ENTIRE drive because on 3rd and 2 we stopped them, but Bowen jumped offsides and gave the Falcons a 1st down. Show some backbone and stop them again, don't escort them to the endzone because you are dissapointed. I have seen this team apologize when they don't win like WE ALL THINK they should. This is a classic case of being a frontrunner, of being a team that is only interested in winning while LOOKING good.

Sure I want Roy to be succseful...but if you want to complain about something, complain about ALL OF THE PENALTIES

We should NOT let the media off the hook writing aritcles about Roy Williams after we beat this team by 20. The MEDIA said we would lose...the oddsmakers had us as 2 point underdogs....so since the MEDIA was WRONG...they should man up and talk about a team they underestimated. I am not interested in the media and their articles about Roy Williams....all that is a way to DEFLECT that they were WRONG about this team and this game...so any aricles written by people complaing about Roy Williams is a way for them to build credability with the fans who are upset with Roy as well. But I ain't buying it...if you wrote we would lose, if you wrote we are not in the falcons league.....then man up and talk about the GAME!!!!!!!!!!!

I hear what you are saying and frankly I really appreciate your post but we have so much hate that it has to be applied some where or we will burst. This week it is Roy's turn, next week, who knows?

I am not going to complain about him. Aikman was commenting on them being in sync but that was not the case. Rw just could not catch the ball - they were on sync other than the ball at Rw on the one throw - otherwise they had some good timing and seemed on the same page. RW was a shoelace away from a possible huge play.

People overreact so much it is very frustrating.

Miles will open up everything else for RW and JW

I'm onboard.

I still think the people acting like he is nothing but a scrub need to go back and look at his career numbers. He's put up some numbers so he is capable. He's also had some big individual games.

He isnt Michael Irvin and never will be, but that doesnt mean he wont be a quality player here. He's gonna have some big games this yr before the season is over, I really believe that. Especially with teams having to now make the decision to do something to try and take away Miles Austin.

I agree. Our WR are not competing against each other they are competing against the secondaries of the opponent. RW will have his days in the meantime we are seeing Austin emerge as a player that many of us hoped he would become. I think this WR group is going to get better as we move forward.
