well I don't understand many things. Let me try to recap a few things first. The Cowboys two seasons ago, showed the absolute pinnacle of what they could be, we had a 13-3 regular season, a quarterback who threw like he was the second coming of Troy Aikman, a reciever/TE combo who could shred defenses, and a running back that we could rest assure would punch it in when needed and put games away. Our defense, though not perfect, could effectively stop the run and for the most part hold it together. Gentlemen, it does not get better than this. A team that is 15-1 is EQUAL to a team that is 13-3 in football, losses happen. We were on top of the football world. We could not have been playing better football, the foundation of our team will never see a better season.
We then lose a playoff game by 4 points to a team playing defense that would eventually stop the undefeated pats in the superbowl. Teams lose, because Peyton Manning continuously lost in the post season didn't mean that the teams offensive strategy needed to be scrapped. Brady and his undefeated Pats losing to the Giants in the SB did not call for Brady to now drive the bus to prevent crazy come back victories from ever happening again.
What we had that season was not broken and what is broken does not need to be fixed. The next season, WITH key injuries, we barely miss the playoffs.
What I dont understand is, how we decided that group of players that was so productive, and the scheme of football we were trying to play should have been thrown out. The style of offense run by Peyton Manning and the Indy Colts has been the same style ever since they became contenders, it doesn't get old, and it has them in the running each and every single year. It's Colts football. The football played by Brady and the Pats every single year is uniquely Pats football, same goes for the putrid Steelers. The football we played in 2007 was our football, it was Cowboys football, but becuase Garrett had supposedly been figured out, we had to change our scheme and now Romo is a bus driver. It's not what he is, or ever will be. Romo is the kind of quarterback that can hit fast physical reciever streaking downfield repeatedly, and no defenses wont beat it, just like defenses couldn't beat Montana to Rice, Manning to Harrison, etc.
I'm not saying this new run game we found needs to be hidden away while Romo tosses the ball 40 times a game and if that's what you got from my post, then youve misunderstood everything I've said. Especially now with the run game would our football be even more effective.
So what I don't understand is why change the best thing we had seen in a while?
:beer2: Heres to hoping that the core group of players on this team's best days arn't behind them.
