The salad years. What happened?

[Pass2Run]

The biggest thing was we had a coach in training.

Best clapper/butt slapper ever.

 

[Runwildboys]

Romo never delivered that big time game. We needed a guy to compensate for our deficiencies and we didn’t have it.

He compensated for a lot of deficiencies, but there were just too many. The quote by the owner, "Tony doesn't need an O-line" speaks volumes.

I have no idea lol. I didn't see bobbling a hold as some epidemic worth changing but I could be wrong.

On top of the ridiculous coaching hires. Jerry’s offseason decisions after Parcells were garbage!

Chan Gailey wasn't so bad.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

Man lol....so it's the coaches fault that he bobbled the hold....that he had been doing all year? Who the hell was suppose to hold the snap Bledsoe?

Yep. Romo gets injured then what?

Should ne on the sideline with his offense and oc.

 

[DallasEast]

Smeagol hates Romo!
No! Smeagol hates Dak!
Smeagol hates Romo and Dak?
Smeagol confused.

My precious...

Shut up Jerry! Smeagol fights who hates Romo or Dak more!

Oh its the wiping of the footballs ok yeah I have seen them do that didn't know when it started but yes they do wipe down balls especially in bad weather conditions.

Romo gets injured what do you mean? Gets injured holding a snap or in general?

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Chan Gailey wasn't so bad.

I mean honestly Chan manages to stay with a job. He's gotten few head coaching jobs after Dallas too.

I don't think there were many in 2014, 2007 and 2006....there are just some things your leader is suppose to do and people laugh at the "leadership" title that everyone throws on Dan but it does matter. Romo was not a good leader. Not everyone is. For instance going on special trips with just you and the head coach and the tight end is not good for team moral.

From the article:

From that game produced new procedures. K-balls -- balls only used by kickers during games -- are now numbered 1-12. Equipment men from both teams have a 20-minute period prior to games to rub down the balls to make them more manageable for snappers, holders and kickers.

All footballs are rubbed down extensively after they have been taken out of the box. Happens in domed stadiums and open air stadiums without a cloud in the sky.

The oline was a sieve that's it

It was good enough for the Eagles the prior week, who always has a good d-line

I'm just saying what I've noticed. I've noticed in bad weather games where it's raining like it did in Seattle they wipe down the football a lot at least the telecast shows it anyway.

Good enough to beat the Eagles TWICE in a row if I'm not mistaken.

My memory is hazy by didnt we have oline injuries in that game that sunk the oline

 

[BleedSilverandBlue]

2010 thru 2014 the cowboys were stacked. 7 hof level players. 5 on offense. We could not even get to a title game. Truth is that team should have won at least two super bowls. When you look at the SB era every team with at least four hof level players have won super bowls. So what happen to the salad years. They just wilted away.

Couldn't even make the playoffs in those seasons outside of 2014.

Those were truly some years the Cowboys spent wondering the desert. All of those 8-8 records.

Wasted years. That's probably the most disappointing thing about the Romo era. Yeah I wanted to win a ring but as good as Romo was we should've made the playoffs more than we did. Wasted 8-8 years. Not even bad enough to get a top 5 pick to add top 5 talent.

Without Google I cannot answer that question either lol. A lot of beer was drank that night lol

You may be right, but I have no idea how many things he did with the other members of the team, nor do I know how much time Dak spends with the rest of the team on their days off, or Troy, or Roger.

Honestly, these guys probably have their own things going on, and I doubt anyone feels like they weren't included.
