They didn't lose because of Romo ... They lost because this defense is terrible.


On this day Romo was not the problem, he was the reason this game was even close.

Yep, but Cowboys haters will never see it this way, whatever. And it looks like on the replay that the LT tripped Romo on the INT so I give him a little bit of a pass even though he probably shouldn't have tried to throw it anyway. How does the O line let them get pressure with a 3 man rush?? Argh, I need to stop thinking about this game, please just let us beat the Redskins.

Garrett: Romo should have found Murray

http://espn.go.com/blog/dallas/cowboys/ ... rco-murray

Really Garrett ... are you feeling the heat or something, your QB put up 48 points in a game you were not even given a chance to win. Maybe he's pissed since he's no longer running the Offence and they actually making things happen. How 'bout pointing the finger at Kiffen and this tampa 2 sieve defence that he brought? How's Ryan's defence doing in NO?

I can't believe this. :fp:

I was starting to warm up to Garrett a little ... Saying that is just ridiculous, holy shit your D gives up 51 points, your O scores 48. In 5 games they've allowed 3 opposing QB's 400 yard passing games. They benched Bruce Carter for Sims in the Denver game, then benched Sims for Carter. It's not the players on D it's the system, this Tampa 2 is getting torched ... I suspect this is Garrett's last year.

The Dallas D was at it again yesterday, giving up the 2nd most passing yards to a single receiver in NFL history (only 7 yards short of the all-time record).

Embarrassing.

Detroit had one minute and no timeouts. Drove 80 yards in about 50 seconds. Pathetic. :fp:

They're still tied with the Eagles and the NYG are only 2 games back.

Romo's like "I can't do this anymore. Just trade me, already."

Should beat MIN at home next week. "Should."

I was at that game ... those last 2 minutes were just shocking. So many things went from relying to much on a rookie running back, not passing the ball down the field in the first 3 quarters, only turning 4 turnovers into 10 points and then that last drive ... which should have never gained any traction because if the O did their job and not took a holding penalty the lions would have gotten the ball back with only 20-30 seconds off the clock.

Personally I can no longer blame Jones for this mess, he gives the coach's the players they need ... they got good players on both sides of ball ... but defensively this tampa 2 does not work, that should be very clear.

Dez was left 1 on 1 plenty of times, I do think Romo does have to trust him more ... but he was once again under heavy pressure.

Personally I would not have a problem if Jones cut all veteran players at year end, as it stands this teams salary cap is a mess and will handcuff this franchise for years to come ... time to cut the costly veterans and take our licks for a few years get some top 10 younger player, because no matter what coach they bring in it will be the same mess.

That last minute on D they had 3 rookies in the secondary and I believe 2 were undrafted ... a product of mismanaged salary cap.

As far as the coaching situation and unless the team gets on a roll I think Garrett's unless they win at least 1 playoff game which I don't see happening. I see Jones trying to hire Lovie Smith ... if unable to get him, I'd love for Mike Zimmer to be hired his defence's always seem to be good and surely they can find someone to run the O.

Unreal. I definitely think Miles Austin is holding them back. I like him when he's healthy, but he's always hurt. He must be costing them a lot of bank. But yeah, if they don't win the division this year, shit should hit the fan. No one will be safe.

Miles Austin ... look at Ratliff, received a big contract will count towards the cap next year and not even on the team, Spencer getting somewhere around 8 million this year and will not play a down, I like Ware a ton but it's pretty obvious he's wearing down, I do not think he's an very down player anymore ... Murray has been injured at some point every year, why do they not have more experience in the running back position?

But that 2 minutes was just brutal ... but quite honestly if the lions don't turn the ball over 4 times that game isn't even close. The last 3 games Romo does not seem quite as sharp, almost like he doesn't want to make a mistake ... would that have anything to do with Garrett calling him out after the denver game?

lukin2006

Surely the Dallas D will not allow the Minnesota QB 400 yard passing .

Buck is back with Aikman! My favourite commentators.

Go Cowboys!

See Romo try and move the ball with his foot? Lol

Doesn't he have a near-perfect record in November?

This is a good game. :ugeek:

Agreed! We're not good enough to get them much any more I guess.

Just heard a snippet of "Unthought known"

I heard that too. I guess Buck is still promoting PJ on Fox Sports.

This is essentially the 4th game in a row Romo hasn't been sharp ...

This team is done ... No way should this game have been like this.

Late in the 4th quarter only 9-10 runs

People can blame the D but this O only has 1 offensive touchdowns today.

Just pathetic ... Such a shame to see how far this franchise has fallen.

I don't know about that. They had a nice 2minute, 90 yard drive at the end to take the lead. That is what I was most concerned about. Nice to know they can pull it off. The defence had a pick. Romo wasn't amazing, but he wasn't horrible. Was probably something like 30/40 and 300 yards. And they won, which is the main thing.

I don't take a lot of confidence from this game ... Just too many mistakes.

Up next NO ... Oh boy I can see them putting up a pile of points.

Yes Romo had decent numbers ... But he was off again until that final drive, he'll need to be on next week, I would think.

NYJ beat NO today. And the O for DAL had 2 TDs, not 1.

I feel good after watching this game. The D is where they have struggled and they had a fumble recovery in the end zone for a TD and a pick. Plus the D held min to under 400 total yards, lol

Yeah they ended up with 2 TD's, when I posted that they only had 1. That last drive was so effective because Romo moved the ball to multiple receivers ... And they used Beasley on that last drive, I wish Beasley was made much more a part of the offense. They only ran the ball 9 times or something like that ... Not a winning recipe. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad they won ... But the Vikings had only 1 win and this is a team they have to beat.

Next week we'll see ... Hopefully Ware is back, he'll help ... And run the ball.
