He did that when he was with the Eagles against us. Pass hit him square in the chest and he had both hands on it with his feet set, just past the sticks and he dropped it.

But you can bet he'll make up for it though.

I certainly hope that he makes up for it.

Irvin yells all the time and his coworkers are at the same desk. Some people are loud. Why does that mean he's being negative all the time?

Oh right, it doesn't.

Oh my goodness...where to begin? You say the media is feeding this thing and I agree to a point....HOWEVER, "grimmacing"? That was NOT a grimmace.

Yelling because it's loud? Gee, I seem to see other players just talking normally down there....yet you can't see the difference?

Where did I say that he was tearing the team down? that comes in year 2. :)


Ok so it wasnt a grimace... he wasnt happy about it is the point. Its like when Vandy missed his kicks in preseason... he walked off smiling.. but he wasnt really smiling... we have all made that face in our lives... but by all means keep on hating

Thats pretty good:rolleyes:
The guy who helped lead to the first score and then scored again later started the downward spiral... go ahead keep on hating...

He should have caught that ball. There was no exuse for that. Even before TO broke his finger, he has been notorious for making spectacular catches and dropping easy ones. Then again, there is no one else I would rather have for Romo to throw to than one of the NFL's best receivers. You got to take the good with the bad, and TO will drop a few more before this season is over. He will also make more TDs and big plays as well.

You have your opinion. I have mine. Just so happens that yours is wrong. But I guess we can't all be perfect.

"Hating" is calling it like it is?

SHOULD he have caught the ball? YES!

SHOULD he have been smiling after missing that catch when prior to that he was yelling about getting involved? NO! He SHOULD have been pissed at himself.

THAT is the way it IS!

You guys make me laugh... you want to know how it is... if not for TO's involvement... we dont score the first TD and we dont score the second TV... get a grip....

We are all frustrated now... no big deal... we like who we like and we dislike who we dislike... no prob

This could be a different game if the mouth wouldn't have dropped that ball....I'm not saying that we woulda won, but for crying out loud, when you yell and scream on the sidelines, you'd better NEVER make a mistake like that.
To be fair there were enough screwups to go around tonight.

Lot of morons on this thread.

He wasn't laughing. Have any of you ever seen a grimmace? It's not like he started laughing and high-fived someone walking off the field. He was upset. He was exasperated b/c he dropped it. Don't make **** up just to pile on him.

Also, don't fall for the color analysts comments everytime they see TO yelling on the sideline. How does he, or you for that matter, know what he's saying? He's yelling, sure. Has it ever occured to you that it's pretty damn loud down there? How do you know he's not encouraging players? How do you know he's not telling coaches and his QB what coverage they're running on him and what play might work? Why do you assume that he's whining and complaining just because you see him talking on the sideline?

I'm getting fed up with the media, and some fans, feeding this thing. I've seen other players show frustration on the sideline. What do people say? "Oh he's just frustrated right now." When TO shows his frustration it's, "oh what a horrible teammate! he's tearing this team apart! what a travesty!"

Good God, people! Shut up already.

Kind of ignorant to call others morons for expressing their opinions, don't you think ? And yet you read them, then tell them to shut up ? Hmmm....

Seems like Irvin is always laughing when yelling, not pouting. Big difference don't you think ?

Perfection would imply that you are without flaw. Unfortunately by definition you have just been disqualified.

AGENDA ALERT

agenda or not TO made an awful play. Make all the spectacular plays you want but if you can't make the routine ones, you won't win games.

About Bledsoe and that STUPID pass that was INT'd at the end-zone....how many times have we seen that? That is NOT a pass that should be in our book? .
That was all Bledsoe. That play was called for the other side. Again, Bledsoe trying to force it to Glenn. Why he does that is beyond me.

The guy has led the league in recent years in in dropped passes....yet he talks like he can make a play every time he touches the ball.

If I was Romo, I woulda said something to him about smiling after that drop....that was a BIG drop, IMO.

About Bledsoe and that STUPID pass that was INT'd at the end-zone....how many times have we seen that? That is NOT a pass that should be in our book? Throw the fade but not a hard pass like that....you are just screaming for an INT return for a TD on that...we've seen it happen....other teams have it happen all the time as well.

As much as I support T.O. when people are jumping down his throat I totally agree with you. That was ridiculous! It was a total game changer. He catches that pass and he has space for some nice RAC. It's 7-19 and we're driving. That's much different that suddenly finding ourselves down 7-26. TO chang3ed the face of the game right there. It was sickening to see but I know he'll redeem himself hopefully with many more passes thrown to him by ROMO.

It was HUGE. TO got the ball in a pressure situation, and his *** dropped it. That started the downward spiral.

The downward spiral began long before that and continued long after it. That was just one bad play out of many. I can think of numerous plays that were more costly than the fourth-down drop.

Unbelievable...One dropped pass does NOT a game make. Yes we would have had momentum and YES it definitely should not have been dropped. It was a very crucial play and to blame the loss on that one play is crazy. Hell, at this rate we would have moved the ball down to the red zone and Bleedslow would have just given it back.

It was a game we could have stolen in spite of our poor play. Still, I'll live with Romo making some errors more than watching a 14 year vet make the same plays. And in BP press conference I loved how he portrayed Romo..."He's been here 4 years". Well, thanks to you he has never received any quality playing time in a real game. If he's been here 4 years and you haven't prepared him to take over then some of the onus belongs on you BP.

Call him the mouth or whatever but he made more plays than he missed. Call out some of the other players who's errors are quite as visible as TO's. We win...no stories...we lose and it's TO's fault. COME ON...STOP DRINKING THE KOOL AID.

The future is now. Romo has his chance. Now BP has to design an offense and a game plan to best utilize his skills. We have the opportunity to have a much more unpredictable offense which should open up many more options for everyone. Waggles, roll outs, QB draws. We can now put pressure on the defenses to stop a potentially more explosive offense.

I also was amazed that the commentators didn't make any statement on how Bleedslow reacted to being benched and how selfish it appeared he was on the sidelines. Why wasn' the cameras tracking his every move much like it does TO?


Go ahead and let me have it!!
