The Dallas Cowboys football circus thread

[Burger]

Tony Romo has thrown SEVEN interceptions in losses with the Cowboys tied or up one possession in the 4th quarter/OT. No other QB has five.

Didn't the announcers keep talking about how Romo leads his team to comebacks? Lmfao at them.

 

[YankeeVol]

Romo isn't the problem with that team.

Left early to hide his tears


Dez Bryant of Dallas Cowboys will learn from leaving early -- Jason Garrett - ESPN Dallas

Not romo fault!

Definitely not, what in the **** was Garrett thinking by the playcalling in that situation? Was Dooley calling the plays?

I have been a pretty big Romo apologist, but the pick that was the "turning point" was a called run that Romo checked out of because of the D alignment.

It was not a bad call per se, but the throw off the back foot across the field was.

Had he spun out of that near sack by Matthews and completed that pass to Austin he would be hailed the hero of that game instead of the goat.

Now the fact that they passed as much as they did consistently in the second half is baffling.

Romos form turns to hot garbage once the calendar year hits December. That's being increasingly compounded by Jason Garrett, who should not be working in the NFL.

Only ONE QB has a higher QB rating than Romo in December. One. Aaron Rogers

As bad as a decision and throw it was to get intercepted... Truth be told it should have never ever been an issue. When your defense has given up points and mainly tds on 13 of its last like 17 possessions you have to feel some pressure to continue to score. The defense is comically bad

 

[milohimself]

I agree. Dallas has had a horrendous secondary for a long time. That's been the biggest issue for a while.

 

[TrueOrange]

They're doing it again.

60-70 yards rushing in the first half…halfway through the 3rd quarter Murray's gotten I think 2 carries.


Maybe they're afraid if they treat him like a workhorse he'll get hurt?

 

[TrueOrange]

How does the coaching staff not generally understand that, at the current moment, not only are they much better at running the ball than passing it, but if they run the ball more it keeps their awful, awful defense off the field?

 

[Freak]

How did I miss this gem from earlier this year?

 

[vader]

Romo out with a back injury.

Kyle Orton...lol.

Championship coming

 

[TXA&M07]

I fully expect Orton to lead them to a deep playoff run. It's just fitting at this point.

Have I mentioned I despise the Cowboys lately?

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Its not Orton I'm worried about vs the Eagles. Its that defense. If they dont come to play they could easily give up 45+

But I'm sure it'll still be all Romo's fault.

 

[TrueOrange]

So the guy played through in last week's game with what was a season ending injury?

Adding to the legend.

I fully expect the eagles to hang the speed limit on the Dallas defense next week

I was praying Fox stayed with that shot. Didn't want to miss DD getting beat down on the sideline.

Gosselin: In cutting DeMarcus Ware, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones finally learned how to say goodbye | Dallas Morning News

1. Jerry Sucks.
2. This article sucks more.

Ware is gone because Jerry is an idiot when it comes to managing salaries and the cap. The article also says Jerry is deciding not to "pay age." So when we inevitably bring back Hatcher or Spencer (who are at most 1 year younger) we are not paying age?

 

[TheDeeble]

16 million is a lot to pay a guy that isn't ideal for your defense. In the 3-4 we ran when Ware was drafted, he was perfect. And his performance proved that.

He's not suited for Monte's 4-3 like he was the 3-4. Combine that with injuries and on field performance, I can see why Dallas made this decision. I'm not sure if I like it or not. Dallas overpays everybody. If Jerry hadn't handed out ridiculous contracts over the years maybe Ware would have been someone they could keep.

Someone is going to get a great defensive player though.

 

[865dude]

I don't blame them for cutting him. I blame them for signing him to that big of a contract.

That's mainly my beef. I guess the move had to be made, but I'm not going to applaud someone when their own incompetence led to the release. Ware may not fit in the 4-3, but i'm a little skeptical that Jerry will find someone better.

Miles Austin is gone.

Cowboys Corner: Miles Austin gone, too, as Cowboys will designate him post-June 1 cut

Terrance Williams, a third-round pick in 2013 who had 44 catches for 736 yards and five touchdowns as a rookie, will start opposite Bryant. Dallas will be in the market for a third receiver.

UConn has more POSTSEASON wins at AT&T Stadium (2) than the Dallas Cowboys (1).
