Lets see.. he audibles out of a goal line one on one with Dez to a play that has zero chance of getting us in the end zone, many of his down the field throws were off, when he has defenders in hot pursuit he tries to plant his feet and make a throw leading to a crucial turnover, and now we are hearing he had issues throwing to his left? He is not "the" reason we lost but he sure as hell played a role in our loss.


you do realize NO one but your fellow romo haters pays any attention to what you post, right?

Yep. Or maybe, no matter what he calls is going to irk some people.

Overall, Garrett's remarkably composed in his pressers. Win or lose. His attitude did seem a little different this week. He was less patient, maybe. Maybe he's trying to use his new position to be more demanding about all areas of the team to hold them all more accountable. Maybe he's irritated at the play calling and having it out of his hands. Maybe he was just annoyed by the questions or he's disappointed after reviewing the game film that we let a winnable road game get away. It's tough to say what it is. At the same time, I don't think there's any particularly deep meaning behind it, either. It's just his attitude at this one press conference.

You know, even though I thought the screen was just a dumb call - as dumb as I've ever seen given 88 was ready to catch a TD pass and our history of running screens - Garrett has a good, simple point: calls that succeed always look good and calls that fail are going to always look bad at some level just because they didn't work. Unfortunately for Jason, that red zone series seems to be symbolic of the problems the Cowboys have been having in recent years, all wrapped up in this one nice, neat little package. (Preceding "the call", there was a sack and a false start, enhancing the impact of the 3-yard loss.)

FWIW, JG said the opposite in his presser today. He said the Mo penalty was a good call, and the right call in that situation, and that Mo needs to do a better job not being too aggressive there.
A less aggressive corner? That's assinnine....

Well, he said they really liked Mo's body control and how well he played both receivers and the ball. The comment re: his aggressiveness related to that specific play.

Give stevie a break. I think it's refreshing for a semi-owner to say what is on his mind.
When so many coaches, players and executives are giving us mindless quotes: "we just half to do better" . . . "He's a competitor" . . . "We just half to put it all together" . . . "If we play four quarters we can win" . . . "He's hurt but is working hard" . . . ."If we stick to the game plan" . . . .
and we hang on to ever word of these say-nothing fellows.

Keep 'em coming, little Stevie. Say what is on yo mind.:D
