2011 Season Game Threads Mega-Merge

[Clutch88]

at least he's saying he knows he lost the game for us...doesnt take away the disappointment of it happening, but he apparently knows he blew it

That about sums up his career....

I doubt it would be his way to throw a player of his under the bus to the media. Hopefully he addresses this with him alone or with the team.

Still, the guys been starting since 2006. I'm beginning to think he is what he is. He can be really good, sometimes spectacular. But he can also make mind numbingly stupid plays. It's be one thing if the Jets D had just made those plays, but the two really bad ones werent great plays by the Jets, they were lousy plays by the QB.

For the first time ever, Babe Laufenberg was disgusted with romo. I think he was in disbelief that he put himself in position to fumble there inside the 5... It was so dumb. I really cant get it out of my head. It was such an elementary football thing. Throw the ball away take the points and win. I dont get it at all.

that is the kind of play that will effect ticket sales down the road this year, we have a really crappy group of teams at the stadium this year.....A few more moments like that from romo and there will be some issues with attendance. This town turns on people in a second. Romo might want to duck for awhile.

mickey just said dez hurt his thigh, so it was more than just cramps.

this damn guy has something wrong with him everyday.

What a horrible week this is going to be.

 

[Rock Slamdance]

Any word on Scandrick?

Any word on Scandrick?

He's a special player though. Once upon a time Michael Irvin stayed hurt alot early in his career too. Bryant has that type of ability and attitude.

yep all the ability in the world.

But if its always on the sideline or if it is not as smart as it should be its really not an asset that can be relied on.

we could have used him returning punts in the 4th qtr, but again he is hurt. Critical moments of game he has no idea what he is doing. Hopefully he will figure it out before its too late.

 

[dbair1967]

Have they commented in postgame on what Ryan was so pissed about?

havent heard.

They should just give him parcells and wade phillips phone number. After a few minutes on the phone he will understand, OH...i get it...this is what this team does....and realize its not worth getting mad over.

One man cost us this game. ONE MAN. Granted, I expected to lose and hoped that we would make a good showing, but it breaks my heart when I saw how we could have and should have won that game, but to come up short because of one player. Personally, I would rather we have gotten blown out than to have lost in this manner. The Oline was suspect at the beginning but they settled in and did an admirable job---much better than I expected and hoped. The defense was another pleasant surprise, they gave the opportunities to pull further ahead.


If it wasn't for stupidity, it'd be sabotagued; truth is, I'm not so certain that it isn't. A 6 year starting QB does not make these kind of ... I can't even call them mistakes, because it doesn't do it justice. Ever since Witten had that big play, right on the 5-yard line, Romo's decision-making just went to shit. Throwing the pass at Miles' back, when he was even looking... the easy lob to Felix that he through too far in front of Felix, when Felix had daylight in front of him.

But what is worse is the delay of game penalties. TWO OF THEM AT LEAST, and that has ALWAYS been a thing with him. I cannot recall a single game where Romo didn't have a delay of game. Delay of game penalties are often the fault of the QB. Is ther ANY QB that has more or at least as many delay of game penalties assessed against him than Romo? That's got to eat at Garrett. Garrett is all about efficiency, and that is not being efficient. Now had we won the game, would any of us been upset with decision-making or lack thereof? I would be. Because then you are winning because of dumb luck. I'm tired of those types of wins, those types of wins gives a team a false sense of how good they think they are.


I'm tired of seeing our opponants convert 3rd and 10 or longer against us, and we cannot even convert 3rd and 1 against them. I dread scoring because I fear that the defense will just give it right back, and it'd be for naught.

Maybe Aikman is right and that the Cowboys need to ditch Romo. That's pretty damning. And best believe that Aikman has Garrett's ear. I've come to the sobering reality, that the Cowboys will never win a Super Bowl with Romo. We are just treading water right now.


Garrett needs to have a Come To Jesus! talk wth Romo, and then he needs to bench him for one game just to drive the point home. But the sad fact is, that if Garrett needs to do that to Romo at this stage of his career, then why even bother? That's what you do to a rookie and a second year player. What good is having a talented QB when he makes bad decisions that cost the game(s)?


We'll probably win the next game, and then the next game after that and so forth---I wouldn't be surprised of we lost. But I won't enjoy it. I'm certain that Romo will comeback and set it all on fire, and he will be "redeemed". And I'll just be like... meh. Been there, done that. He'll revert. I rather just lose with either Kitna and McGee; and just take our lumps. Truth be told, if he got hurt again, I'd be like... oh well.

To me, it's not about winning anymore. I want sound decision-making, execution, and smart football. And if we got all that, and lost, then I could deal with it. That's something you can build off of. You cannot build off of dumb luck.


Then there is Tashard Choice. Deactivate him, or better yet, just cut him. I don't even want anything in trade for him. I want him gone like yesterday, and that's still not fast enouigh. Anybody can see that he's mailing it in.

Bradie James...*sigh* I'm not even going to waste words. Thank God for Sean Lee.

I don't want to hear any mea culpas from Romo. He is what he is: stupid or a saboteur.


And to quote sbk---paraphrasing, makes me want to beat a baby, kill a kitten, and pulverize a puppy.

If these players are as hurt as they are and it's mainly muscle-related, then what are the trainers for? How come they are not seeing as to whether these players are properly stretching and being hydrated?

 

[LAZARUS_LOGAN]

So what. More mea culpas. That's mighty big of you Romo: admitting to the obvious.

 

[LAZARUS_LOGAN]

Romo......man, just dont know what else I can say...I feel bad for Coach Ryan and the whole D...he was pissed like heck after the game...only Romo can lose a game in this fashion...that's as high as he will ever go, it's downhill from here for him..you are up 2 td's and you just can't seal the deal...what a way for your "leader" to lead the way to a defeat. I'm done feeling sorry for this guy.

Gotta say, no one expected the D to play this way. No One.

I had a feeling Cam Newton was the real deal...if Romo can't handle the pressure, I say we put Mcgee in there and start looking towards the future right now. Romo has proved he just doesný have it. He wants to, but he just can't.

Couldn't agree anymore. Bring on McGee.

 

[LAZARUS_LOGAN]

Hey, if tonight is the worst thing that ever happens to him, he's lived a good life.

Then he needs to hang it up and go on with that good life, and quit fucking up our universe.

 

[LAZARUS_LOGAN]

That was the worse play of the evening by Romo...Worse than the INT

What about the one prior to that play, where he threw it at Austin's back and Austing was not even looking because he didn't get into his break yet? Austin was still running his route with his back turned.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

I am going to go watch breaking bad, at least the ending to that is different every week.

cant believe romo did this tonight, really dissapointed. He is going to have the worst week he will have as a qb in this market. Looking around the internet, the usual suspects are laughing at him and guys like me who defend him endlessly are pissed and going after him.

nationally he will be slaughtered and locally he is going to find out what its like to have his supporters become distant.

My co-worker, also a Redskin fan, pulled out his iPhone with an article that was titled. Romo's Dumb Decision Dooms Dallas. I lol'd.

 

[63echo]

I feel like I should enjoy watching an all-timer play, but I HATE Tom Brady.


[/end this weeks chatter thread?]

 

[Midswat]

Sporano... with the Dolphins down 14, with 6 minutes to go.

4th and goal, from the half yard line.

What's his play call?

He has Chad Henne drop back and throw a fade to a small, white wide receiver.

What. The. Fuck.

Oh... next play? Brady to Welker for 99 yards. lol

 

[Cythim]

Romo needs to study Brady's ability to not completely fuck up when the game is nearly won.
