Things that are really making me sick...

No offense intended, but this is a site and opportunity for people to express their opinions whether others like them or not, so I'm going to shoot straight from the hip and heart.

I'm totally sick of people comparing T.O.'s BS to Michael Irvin...I don't see anything the least bit similar...there's a difference between passion that is sometimes overdone or misdirected and a total jerk...I'm sure you know where I stand.

I'm sick of hearing fans who think BP is the god of modern football...regardless of how he's improved us, I'll be glad when he's gone...long gone...the sooner the better. Let him continue his rep of building teams that other coaches win with...he'll never win anything with this one.

I'm sick of hearing about Tony Romo...we've lost 2 games on the road against playoff teams in Jacksonville and Philly...for pete's sake, Philly used to pound us on the road almost every year even when we were a top team and they were a bottom feeder...No, Bledsoe is not a great QB...I seriously doubt if he could ever lead us through the playoffs where the game gets faster and the defenses better, but anyone who thinks this particular season would be better with a guy who has yet to throw a pass in an NFL game is insane...tell me you want to give up and prepare for next year, and I'll agree--start Romo, but not while we are in the playoff hunt.

I'm sick of fans who think the words from T.O.'s mouth are of more value that those from Aikman's...a guy who made his living and into the HOF reading defenses...I think he knows what he sees when he talks about who was supposed to cover whom in a secondary...at least most of the time.

I'm totally sick of homers who want to pretend Donovan McNabb is not an elite QB, that he's inaccurate and that he's just lucky.

I'm sick of hearing about our great defense, which still gives up big plays to lose close games...yesterday's game wasn't much different than last year's loss to Washington except that it didn't take place in the final 2 minutes and we gave up even more big plays...I don't care who's fault it was...I don't care how well the team played except for...yadda yadda yadda...they didn't get the freakin' job done, and they still don't get consistant pressure.

I'm really tired of hearing excuses from coaches...excuses for our offense, why we can't get the ball into the hands of playmakers, why we can't protect the QB or the ball...this from coaches who actually thought an empty backfield was a good idea for running a pass play against a Johnson coached defense...coaches who want to run the 3-4 but still don't want to attack consistantly or can't attack with creative schemes....this team sorely lacks creativity on both offense and defense.

While our problems are clearly pass protection by the OL, our immobile QB, and mistakes by our safeties, clearly we are nowhere near the bottom of the league at any of these positions...we apparently continue to play a system on both sides of the ball and we force our personnel to fit it, rather than tweaking the system to best use the talents of our playmakers and protect our weaknesses.

I'll beat some smart aleck to the punch with the knowledge that someone will say he is sick of me attacking the Cowboys and that I have no right to call myself a Cowboys fan...because I've been a totally loyal fan for longer than anyone born after 1967 has been alive, I won't try to defend myself. But I'm really sick of certain things...unfortunately, most of them are not going to change this season.

If Parcells, Zimmer, or T.O. don't screw this up, we'll still have a great shot at going 10-6 and making the playoffs, but we don't have the QB or the coaches and creativity to do much when we get there, imo...I hope I'm proven wrong...yesterday was only 1 game...but that's what they all are, and eventually the season shows whether you're going to string a bunch of wins together or whether you'll keep stumbling to get more than a game or two over .500.
 
That's it, just get it all off your chest.

Nice post BTW. I agree with pretty much everything you just posted.
 
Well I disagree with BP and Romo comments.
Romo needs to be given a shot and we all know Bledsoe cannot take us deep into the playoffs, so we need to roll the dice soon!
 
By the sound of it you need to see a Dr. 1st part is to admit you have a problem.

If you disagree, or have valid points or opinions to make than do so otherwise...carry on. Most of the posts I have read of your in recent weeks seem to fit in that lame category much more than this thread.

Why? Michael Irvin himself disagrees with you.

I saw nothing unusual about what T.O. did on the sidelines, except probably the negative slant to everything he did, and that seemed to come from Joe Buck and the yellow arrow pointing out Owens everywhere on the field. They forgot to paint the red horns, tail and pitchfork though. It probably would have made things too obvious to the dumbed down national audience.

ignore is a cool feature. of course you like the thread 'cause it's about a cowboys fan whining like a baby. sorta like the 99 page "brunell sucks" threads on your boards that cowboy fans lurk and laugh.

just about every point is absurd.

when posts repeat over and over "IM SICK OF..." that is a clue the thread is very lame.
 
No, Bledsoe is not a great QB...I seriously doubt if he could ever lead us through the playoffs where the game gets faster and the defenses better, but anyone who thinks this particular season would be better with a guy who has yet to throw a pass in an NFL game is insane...tell me you want to give up and prepare for next year, and I'll agree--start Romo, but not while we are in the playoff hunt.

You seem to concede that Bled is not the answer, yet you want him to start anyway. In terms of Romo, we don't have the luxury of waiting until we're eliminated. A few games at the end of December will not tell us enough about Tony, especially if he's surrounded by unmotivated teammates with nothing to play for. Bill is more interested in his short-term interests and not the team's long-term interests.

Not in week 5, I dont. Brunell was the least of the Commanders problems yesterday. The D was the biggest issue in all of the Commanders losses. No pressure, no heart, poor discipline, poor tackling, etc.

^^^^^^^^^^^^

This guy wants Romo starting now. That's what he disagrees with, so the whole thread is lame because Wayne doesn't support him in making a QB change.

BTW Wayne, I agree with just about everything you posted also.

and alot more losses to come vs the NFC East this year.

woo-hoo!
 
I don't like Bledslow. Never have , Never will. I don't know if Romo is better or would do anything more at this point. But I do know this, if our Qb is going to play like a rookie, then why not play the rookie? Seriously, think about it. If the VET is going to make poor reads, poor throws and poor decisions, what is the difference? Am I ready to call in Romo right this second, prob not. But if we play one more tight game and Bledsoe blows it again, like he did in Oakland, and Seattle last year and Jax and Philly this year,, it will be time to move on, period, the season be damned.

hmmm...you have every right to have a different opinion than mine, and I usually have very thick skin, but you show your ignorance in this particular complaint since in writing that's called a "theme" or "parallelism."

Consider that as a little lesson from a "whining baby"....no offense intended.
 
Pretty good thread Wayne.

I agree with much of what you said.

But the fact is that we just aren't as good as what many believed we would be, rightly or wrongly. At this juncture we're somewhere between above averge and good. We're a far cry from being very good.
