The Umpteenth Roy Williams Gripe Thread **Merge | Deion Apology Audio Post #589**

[xpistofer]

OK...I guess the pain has finally worn off and I can admit that I traveled from the metroplex to go to the Green Bay game.
First road game I have ever gone to. Lambeau is an amazing experience, and the fans are crazy. Still worth it despite the awful loss.

I will not give my list of observations, as others have already done a far better job than I could ever do. I will however mention something that seemingly no one else (media or otherwise) has mentioned: Roy is absolutely justified and correct when he says the lights were the cause of his drop. It got dark amazingly early there, and the lights were on in the first quarter. He was staring directly into the midfield light section when the pass in question hit him in the face. I couldn't believe he didn't catch it at the time, but his positioning was the "perfect storm" for a lost-in-the-lights drop. To his credit he also ran a phenomenal route on the fumble play - immediately when he cut, I thought he would score - absolutely brilliant and quick route. Woodson wasn't even looking when he "accidently" stripped the ball...Roy needs to be more aware, for sure, but that's a one in one hundred occurrence...

So, anyway...Roy had some flukey things happen in that game, but so did the whole team...it was like a full moon.

But having seen Roy play a couple of times, I still think he is an outstanding receiver...no need for panic, he will be fine.

Just thought some might find interesting the perspective of someone who was there...

or not...

on the Ticket...

Your thread title might as well have read in defense of Bin Laden because you're getting nowhere with this over here.

chuckle...not trying to get anywhere, no agenda, just thought some might find it interesting...

Until Roy is consistent the fans have a right to be upset with him. The expectations are high because the draft picks we gave up were high. I think he'll be fine in the long run he just needs to get his head out of his rear.

Oh great! Another Roy "EXCUSE" Williams thread.
Time to produce!

 

[bbgun]

You can't make this stuff up. Except they always do.

 

[Plumfool]

For the last two weeks it's gotten a lot better between romo and Roy hopefully that trend continues

Ok, in defense of Roy....

What a thread title!

In defense of Roy....Put a 3rd string corner on him and rush everybody else?

In defense of Roy.... Blitz with everyone and the corner too??

Most of the 'fans' that whine about draft picks and contracts probably can't even balance their own check books.

That's why I thought he took the visor off his helmet after that drop

It really has gotten better and it's encouraging, but some people can't acknowledge the progress Roy appears to be making. I'm rooting for him because the more productive he is, the better the Cowboys are.

That isn't important to some posters here. Being right is most important to a handful here.

Roy Williams is terrible. Has nothing to do with wanting to be right. That's what most did with Scandrick. This thing about Roy is just 100 percent fact. He has a top 10 qb and still can't produce at a high level. Give me a break

 

[CoCo]

I care about 1 thing on this issue - how the team fares.

We win, I'm happy. We lose, I'm bummed.

All the rest is secondary. This obssession some have with evaluating that trade every single week is ridiculous.

The deal was done. It hasn't paid off. Get over it.

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

Roy "will bE fine" Williams

 

[Apollo Creed]

As much as I hate Roy, and think he is between the 40th and 50th best WR in the league right now (getting paid like he's top 5)....

If he can ever get his **** together and play up to his potential, our offense will be unstoppable.

Eh nevermind. Who the hell am I kidding, he's a bum and we're stuck with him.

 

[CCBoy]

I grew up during much more humbled times...so I don't mind drinking 'kool aide' at all, even without sugar. Roy will be fine, as he's a good directed as well as talented player. I first believe in success of right itentions...as much as I believe in our Country and the Dallas Cowboys. You go Roy!:starspin

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

ESPN, Keyshawn and Birdman just dissed Roy on a lead in to COUNTDOWN.

TJ threw Keyshawn the ball and he dropped it and did a "oh uh I dropped it" and Carter said something about knowing a real #1 when they see it.

Funny dudes...

Romo is a piece of trash fraud. He obviously has you thinking he's the top 5 qb that he was when TO was here. Hilarity indeed. Not a personal attack at all. Words were aimed at his play. I hate Tony and Roy based on play only. Of course they can turn it around, but so far they have validated my opinion.

Ridiculously transparent.
