What scares me most?

[CCBoy]

To be honest, I have no idea how anyone who gets pulled over for that can remain calm.

I was pissed as he'll that day and I wasn't the owner of the car, driving or black. My friend took it in stride and remained polite, but declined to have his car searched. I was seething.

I guess he was used to it, where it was a new experience for me.

I remember thinking some very nasty thoughts while it occurred; hoping that the officer would pull someone else over later in the day and get shot.

It still riles me up just thinking about it.

One can understand also, that what seems an inconvenience to be stopped, are routine life and death episodes for law enforcement. I give them the benefit of doubt when pissed off is the alternative.

What scares me the most is when people try to justify being wrong.

Honestly what would your friend and I do. It's a lose/lose situation. If he or I get upset or angry we are labeled to be "belligerent, reckless, or crazy" and get arrested and get tossed in the system. We have to be calm about it otherwise the officer will have a reason to believe we are doing something wrong or hiding something. In my experience with police it's usually guilty unless proven innocent.

Agreed. Romo is damaged goods. He can't be trusted to make good decisions for the better of the team.

I completely agree with this.

It's fundamental, situational football and it amazes me that these highly-paid coaches can't seem to see what all of us can.

You don't need to make things overly complex, make them simpler.

You want to eliminate mistakes and minimize turnovers?

Run the football.

You want to control the game and keep a suspect defense off the field?

Run the football.

You want to help calm down your quarterback and restore his confidence and the team's confidence in him?

Run the football.

You want to get return on the investment of three #1 draft picks in your offensive line?

Run the football.

Ohh I think you missed one, RUN THE FOOTBALL!

On the sack I believe it was Romo's fault for holdin

Put some trust in the new play caller for a few weeks, make some quicker throws and don't wait forever for downfield mismatches just because your line is giving you more time than you are accustomed to. Simplify.

This.

what scares me most is how easy we can fix this problem. All we leterally have to do is run the football when the opportunity presents itself ala last Sunday several times. And how I'm frightened that we STILL WON'T DO IT!!!

There's situations when the Cowboys should run the ball and there's situations when they're down by 2 or more scores when they need to throw it. In Murray's last 3 hundred yard performances the Cowboys are 0-3. In two of those games the Cowboys lost by at least 2 scores. Murray had 146 yards vs Chicago last season but the Cowboys lost by 17 points. Instead of trying to get the ball down the field and score quickly they ate up precious time by running Murray play after play. Murray's numbers looked great averaging 8.1 a carry but the Cowboys were far behind and needed points. On Sunday they were down by 25 to SF but ate up a lot of time running Murray who was gaining yards but eating up a lot of time.

The Cowboys aren't going to have an explosive offense or win many games trying to get Murray 100 yards every week when they're more than 2 TD's behind. Yes at times they need to run the ball but when they start getting behind they need to make plays down the field. The Cowboys ate up almost 7 minutes of the 3rd quarter running Murray when they were down by 25 points. Murray ended up scoring but that still left the Cowboys 18 points down heading into the 4th quarter. This is going to be a low scoring Cowboys team if the game plan every week is to possess the ball by giving Murray 20 plus carries a game. That's going to put a lot of pressure on the defense to keep opponents out of the endzone.

its yet another example of JG not competently managing his team or a game, and it costing us BIG TIME. Ya I know Romo audible out…but JG gave him that option.
The coach should realize that we were running it at told Romo not to check out of the called play. I actually would've like our odds, Murray vs one unblocked guy trying to get one yard….esp vs all that can and often does go wrong when Romo throws it.

I honestly think despite what everyone says we are the only reason we are not literally GREAT the talent we have is good, Murray fumbled yea, but he responded GREAT, by taking us to the 2 yrd line .... Just reward your running back his TD..despite being horrible and giving up 4 turnovers our d held strong stoping the 49ers in the second half..b4 anyone says they went vanilla sthu the 49ers were simple taking what we gave them which was nothing. How do you expect players to respond to that pass play all on the sideline , they were damn well thinking the same thing we all were I guarantee it. Dez is so rare a talent his passion goes beyond the game he has his reasons for living and dying on the field I mean he got up from that hit!! .

If Dallas got pulled over who would be driving.

Hopefully not Josh Brent.

Sorry. Too soon?
