Saying Romo chokes again is like when people were saying Tebow was good...it's a complete lack of understanding about the game. Once again, however, Witten fucks up (gets stopped half yard short setting up the 4th and 1) and gets no blame. Fuck...oh well.

I'm a big Witten fan, but I'll give you that and it's happening more and more.

I agree...he's the problem in my opinion as well.

good season.

In a way it might be...most pre season predictions had us 7-9, so we exceeded it by 1 win...and we would have been gone early in the playoffs, so now we avoid GB and SF next year...well that's all the positive I can take out of the season .

i hope that post was drenched in sarcasm

Very much so...but this division sucks, I don't see the Giants doing much...maybe beating Atlanta, but to hear Collinworth last night you'd think the Giants defeated GB or NO, this Dallas D makes most offensives look like NE.

And that is why they are so frustrating to watch. They came out in the second half and scored 14 unanswered. Maybe we should have just done onside kicks the rest of the game to try and minimize the amount of time our D took the field

At least we weren't the paper champions this year. That really sucks. The Boys weren't picked to win shit and won't be until this D is shored up.

I just hope they focus on the secondary first and foremost. You need to be solid in that area because of Cruz, Nicks, Djax and Maclin. I won't mention any Skin receivers because they seem to be irrelevant.

Agreed

im just saying Romo is average at best. great qbs find a way to win.......
has he ever won a playoff game? i remember when the vikings crushed them
the botched snap........he never wins when he needs to

2011 season:
102.5 QB Rating
66.3% completion rate
4,184 yards
31 TDs
10 Int

Romo is the one thing keeping this team alive......

*sigh* I guess I ought to weigh in here too.

Agreed that Romo isn't the problem. I know a lot of people hate him and all that, but he had a really good season after a couple of bad games early. He didn't play last week and probably shouldn't have played against the Giants.
And he had zero protection all year. The very young, very green offensive line was over-matched much of the year. Tyron Smith was the lone bright spot here. Everyone else, well, I hope they improve next year. It doesn't matter how good your QB is or isn't when you can't block for him and protect him for more than 1 second.

Losing Demarco Murray really hurt. When you are bringing in 67 year old Sammy Morris you have problems at running back. I had no problem with them releasing Tashard Choice, but it was just unfortunate timing there.

The defense blew huge leads what, 4 times? The inability to hold a lead, inability to pressure the QB, or to cover even average receivers is the number one problem on this team. I have gone back and forth on blaming Rob Ryan but the simple fact of the matter is the defense is old and talentless as a whole. I think that was on display Sunday every time Newman ran out of breath while running two steps behind everyone. There is only one player on the defense worth his salary right now and that is Demarcus Ware and he can't do it alone.

They weren't good enough to overcome the many mistakes made by the players and the coaches. The icing of their own kicker in Arizona. I knew that would come back to haunt them. Blowing the huge lead against Detroit. The blocked field goal against the Giants. The back clock management all season. The defensive penalties on 3rd down. Good teams can overcome these. Bad to mediocre teams succumb to them and wind up 8-8 and out of the playoffs.

There are 21 Cowboys who are free agents after the season, and they are something like $20 million over the salary cap. It is going to get worse before it gets better.
