Your wife has a whole drawer of those things? Damn... Mine has several, but a whole drawer... That's a lot.
I wouldn't let Randle near it either... How could the guy resist so much pheromones in one concentrated area?

Even I would be reduced to an animal reacting to millions of years of instinct.

Didnt Randle steal men's underwear?

I have no problem if people do not not trust romo, that is their prerogative. However to use the GB game is pretty ridiculous.

They were never up 21-6, it was 21-13 in the 3rd quarter, but don't let facts get in the way. TR had zero turnovers and only 4 incomplete passes for the game.

I guess he should have ran beside Murray to make sure he didn't fumble or maybe went down and help Dez hold onto the ball. Oh, I know. He should rushed the passer to get Rodgers off the field.

And what is with complaining with throwing only on 3rd down? Is romo calling the plays now?

Lots of things to complain about with that game, but romo wasn't one of them.
Good, intelligent, sound post but as Newt would say:

It won't make any difference.​

Yep...it's the off season....:laugh:

But if I had to say the least...Jerry...
I am afraid he will have too much JWB, revert to his old ways while rest of the FO is on vacation, and give up the farm for a RB....:laugh:

Lucky Whitehead. I trust that dude about as far as I can throw him. He only weights 163lbs; so that isn't too bad, but if he were a left tackle, fuhgeddaboudit!

Whitehead would never play left tackle, that's crazy talk. He'd be a guard for sure.

I'm sorry..

and some will hate me..

but my answer is Tony Romo.

I just don'the trust he can get us where we want to go.

I saw it again in the Packer playoff game.

I know everybody wants to point at the Dez non-catch as the reason we lost..

or the lack of a pass rush.

But even with all that..

the defense had them down 21-6 in the 3rd Qt. and we clearly had control of the game.

Lack of pass rush wasn't that much of a factor.

The problem was..

Romo couldn't close the deal.

The offense went into a shell and he stopped throwing except on 3rd downs when the Packers were ready.

And the Dez throw was a despair throw like I have seen him do throughout his career.

All we needed was a first down and keep the chains moving and he went deep for the Hero Ball.

It was like only 2nd down when he did that as I recall.

So to me..no matter what else Romo does..

He has to win playoff games..

not turn the ball over and win when HE HAS TO IN BIG GAMES.

Like all the big boy QB'S do.

Hey..be realistic if you reply here as what I just said is a truism until Romo proves otherwise.

You blame the Green Bay loss on Romo?

He put the Dez non-catch pass right where it needed to be. He handed the ball just fine to Murray when he fumbled running through a hole the size of a humvee.

IMO the non-catch and Murray's fumble are the two biggest reasons Dallas didn't go to Seattle.

The play calling was coming from the sideline, and really I didn't see anything wrong with it anyway.

It wasn't Romo's fault, that's for sure.

Gregory would be the biggest concern for me coming off a positive drug test at the combine. Hard to trust anyone who came off a positive drug test with so much on the line. The Cowboys invested a 2nd round pick on him at a position of great need and if he were to have a drug problem and test positive again it would be a huge disappointment and would indicate this is likely to be an ongoing issue with him.

Randle and it's not even close. I am rooting for McFadden to win the starter's job outright with Ryan Williams as his backup.

Randle doesn't realize the privilege he has to wear the Star. I seriously hope he is a "surprise" roster cut.

I had rather see Randle as the starter and see McFadden cut myself. McFadden is a proven bust. Randle is not a proven bust yet.

McFadden played for the Raiders. Their OL sucked. I'll guarantee you Murray doesn't get 1,845 yards behind that line.

McFadden is a complete back. He never had weapons like we have. Teams can't just put 8 in the box like he faced in Oakland. Give him the same holes Murray got and he's taking it to the house with his 4.44 speed and power. He can catch out the backfield. He can pass block.


He will surprise a lot of fans. Just watch. :D

I don't worry about this kind of stuff and honestly I could care less.

I don't get why so many people get so upset if their football team isn't squeaky clean.

I watch football to be entertained. Not to get on some kind of moral high.

If Joseph Randle is a great RB I'll just cheer while you criticize him.

This. People love to stand on their high horse and act like they care about these players off the field and whom they really are. All this faux outrage people have is moronic. As long as you win, people overlook the off the field stuff. I.e. the 90s Cowboys.

I doubt very seriously McFadden will produce the tough runs Murray gave us. He may run through some holes but I question his ability to power and stiff arm his way and make some of the gains we saw Murray make last season. Go back to the Seattle game Murray had to scratch and claw for every one of his 115 yards. McFadden wouldn't have produced with as little room to run that Murray had that day. They showed a segment on NFLN of all the tough, dirty yards Murray picked up last season that kept the chains moving and these were some impressive plays where he had little to no room to maneuver. We'll see what McFadden and company can do but I'm not going to be convinced of anything with him or the other backs the Cowboys have until they prove it.

It's hard to believe isn't it.

Had to be one of the least educated posts I've read in awhile.

Four passes were not completed that game.
2 throw always
1 drop
the Dez catch that wasn't

a outerworldly 143 QB rating
2 TDs
0 ints

Yet, Romo is to blame.

Literally, and quite possible the very last person that could be blamed.
Certain people around here...and there are about 10 or so...will see every situation that doesn't turn out in our favor as one where Romo could have done better. And they link that directly to the loss and as the main reason.
It's beyond absurd.

The whole defense is pretty much bust or boom. The FO brain trust has structured most of the contracts with that meltdown in mind, to their credit.



As long as the play calling remains as last year, the offense should be stable and perform.

Beyond absurd is right.

Frankly, I seriously question the football acumen of anyone that thinks Romo was to blame for the GB loss.

Really happy you said it. I wouldn't have been so polite
