The Tony Romo Thread

[endersdragon]

Jerry said they've been putting things in way ahead so the short week means nothing.

And you believe Jerry? Even if the game plan was already in place (doubtful, but I will go with it) the exceptionally short week messes everything up all week. That is why we have seen so many bad games on Thursday night this year... and most of those teams at least had a full night to rest on Sunday... we didn't.

Jerry says lots of things, that doesn't make any of it true.

What's going to be the excuse in two weeks? The Eagles and their staff is better than the Cowboys and their staff. We got the crap kicked out of us today.It wasn't because we a short week. They were the better team and definitely more hyped and ready to play.
They exposed the defense that most of us expected to see all season.

We will win in 2 weeks.

"Taking a shot" wouldn't just end Romo's season, it would end the team's as well.

Staring down the gun barrel and taking a shot while making a throw is part of playing the position.

"Taking a shot" wouldn't just end Romo's season, it would end the team's as well.

And that should not be a position any player is placed into.

Otherwise, everyone should run out of bounds, duck their heads, whiff on a tackle and not bother to stretch out to make a catch.

It is sad he might have that idea in his head to protect himself because if he gets hurt the season is over.

It is hard to play that way.

An offense with less Romo is a more efficient offense, IMO.

It's weird. Stats say otherwise. But I can't help feeling that I'm watching reruns every dec regardless of personel changes to players and coaches.

Granted def wasn't good enough. But offense wasn't even close

They had 2 full days to prepare. No team has ever played a road Sunday night game and turned around and played on Thursday. It was a factor.

Sorry, not with that defense. They showed who they really are.

I knew when he said that it would look bad after a loss

Cold slap in the face for this OL today.

The speed and tempo Philly has killed us. You could prepare for a month and it wouldn't matter. You really think they haven't studied the Eagles till this week?

They did that. But I'm suprised the offense tanked so bad at home.

Been saying it for years, this offense and it's play designs are crap. The only thing disguising that fact has been the running game. Get a real offensive mind in here. We have the weapons.

It is not going to happen. You could get the most creative guy in here and he is working with a QB in Romo who honestly does not have more than two years left in him if he is lucky.

What is so frustrating is that we got a running game, but the passing game has been limited in every conceptual fashion you could imagine. It should not work that way. We just do not utilize what we have effectively and challenge defenses. We basically dare them to stop our best.

It is very arrogant and when it does not work, we have no response other than what you saw today on national television.

We have been running a lot of the same concepts since Garrett walked in ahead of the head coach. It has not changed and it will not change as long as he is the head coach. That is a very very long stretch of continuity that I do not think works well with a league that is constantly evolving.

As much as a lot of people disrespected Kelly's offense for it's "smoke and mirrors", that seemed to do just fine today.

Choker, end of the season big stage and it's like clockwork.

According to Jerry Jones, they studied.

 

[Gemini Dolly]

Romo was bad. Ducks, not stepping up in his throws.

Good news, the Cowboys are better on the road and 3 of 4 are away.

Bad news, ITS DECEMBER when we play next games.

 

[endersdragon]

Sorry, not with that defense. They showed who they really are.

And the Eagles showed who there defense really is when they let the Packers (who had a really hard time scoring against the 1st place Vikings team last week) put up 53 points on them. You aren't a psychic, neither am I. So stop pretending you can see the future.

Staring down the gun barrel and taking a shot while making a throw is part of playing the position.

It's called picking your spots. That's just part of the reality of having an older QB with back issues.

Why didn't it kill other teams ?

Garrett had them poorly prepared

You can't be watching this dude play.

Dallas Cowboys fans are the most ignorant people I swear. Nobody showed up to play today and the first thing people do is blame the entire thing on Romo. I seriously question if some of you actually watch the entire game. Most of the time it sounds like your just quoting of the ESPN high lights. Romos played his best season so far. Him and the entire team had a bad game and all you wanna' be fans call for Romos head. Please go find another team to rip apart after one performance cause Romo is going to be here for awhile and I'll easily take him over 25 other staring QBs in this league. The Cowboys will bounce back and I'll make sure to come back here and see your comments after we start winning again.
