Official Cowboys Thread

Well for my fantasy football I need romo to finally throw some damn TDs!
But what I've seen from watching romo its not all his fault, in fact most of the cowboys lack of success through the air isn't his fault.. Everyone is doubling witten and playing one on one with all the wrs.. Ur WRs don't create any separation and yet ur OC still calls 2 quick slants to hurd when he's covered by champ baily.. Terrible play calling on that last drive when u guys got inside the 10 yard line.. All cowboys staff talks about crayton having amazing hands and roy being a legit #1 wr but u call 2 quick slants to hurd against arguably the best CB ever to play this game.. Dumb play calling... Romo has been missing wrs deep but all the drags and slants and in cuts aren't his fault when his wrs aren't creating separation and cbs and lbs are able to just reach around and bat the ball down every time.. This passing game misses TO and defences are glad to just stop witten and make a wr try to beat them cuz the cowboys are full of #2 and #3 wrs trying to play #1 and #2, its not working.. I think u guys gota try to work in martellus bennett so witten won't be the only TE to worry about and u can even put witten out wide and play bennett as a TE... I don't really think romo is the problem, I think its more based around #2 wr trying to play #1, #3wr trying to play #2, and #4 wrs playing #3 which means they are on the field much more often then u would like..

I agree Beaner.. But while its not all Romo's fault its not none of his fault either.. He has missed quite a few open WRs. that coulda resulted in big plays. Its a combo of everything. It seems like atleast once a game Flozell Adams gets a penalty that brings back a big run or pass. Seems Romos also getting sacked alot of late. The Wrs havnt been getting open and leaving Romo with little holes to sneak the football in. and the RB core has struggled with injuries off and on. First it was Barber now its jones.. Jones is another story the dude has played 6 career games and been injured in 3 of em.. Comeon now lol. But we will turn it around. I have faith.

I agree it is some of romos fault, I was just trying to point out that the media is placing everything on his shoulders for why the boys aren't getting in the endzone but its a combination of romo, the oline, and WRs.. We know felix and barber and choice is a great 3headed monster but the boys need a little better pass protection and a little more seperation on the short-intermediate routes.. We seen what happens down field when romo has time the wrs do get open and unfortunately for cowboy fans romo has missed his targets on those chances.. I see romo and the entire offence playing well against KC this week..

as a giants fan i agree its not all romos fault its the WRs cuz roy williams is a terrible route runner for being this great WR but even when he was with detroit he wasnt a great route runner he was a great go 2 guy but his hands were amazing and he used 2 be great at fade routes and being able to go up and get the ball kinda like how PLAXICO was for Eli but ever since he was traded he really hasnt looked good at all..... he seems mad slow and lazy with the way he plays IMO

Yea. I agree. I mean we need to get something started quick. I think KC is a great game to regain confidence. We need contributions from not only Romo but the whole offensive unit.

It wasnt pretty but we did get the W against KC. And idc what yall say having 250 yds recieving and 2 TDs against anyone in the NFL is a great days work. Miles Austin you stepped up big man. And provided the cowboys with what they have lacked in the first few games... A HomeRun threat!!!!

3-2. We need to go into the bye week and get everyone healthy... And fine tune parts of the offense. and defense.

We need to go into the bye week and send Terrell Owens an apology for blaming him for all there issues. Someone needs to step up and admit that Romo is the real issue on this team!!!!!!!

It may seem that it is all Romo, dont get me wrong he is at fault for some of the stuff thats went on this season but its a combination of everyone. Oline getting dumb penalties, Wrs not running crisp routes. Defense not being able to play in the final minutes.

I just hope this bye week does some good for the team!

We need a strong showing from the boys today.
LETS GOOOOOO!

For everyone who said the cowboys couldnt beat a playoff team was shut up today. We won by a bunch against the falcons. Everyone looked good for the first time all season. Miles Austin continues to prove hes a top notch WR and a homerun threat for the passing game. Tony Romo proved he can play a pressure game playing nearly perfect. The running game lacked a little but it was made up for by the passing. Our defense looked solid as hell. Had 3-4 turnovers and coulda had more.

All and all i am happy with the result and play of the cowboys. 4-2 baby!

this wasnt "a pressure game."

They beat Atlanta in Dallas. Atlanta is under .500 on the road since the start of last year, and theyre defense allows something lile 380 yards per game. Cowboys were favorites to win this game...

It was a good game, and Austin is legit, but i dont see how this was somehow a statement game for the cowboys or Homo.

How is it not.. I know the falcons secondary was questionable but everyone said thw cowboys could only beat winless teams. And couldnt hang with a above average team. And they did.. and dominated. As for pressure.. you obviously dont understand being a QB in dallas. Our fans are harsh so he needed this game to build confidence.

Also theres a big difference in 3-3 and 4-2.

Romo dominated an avg road team with a weak secondary. And it was impressive.

That said, Im not on the "You cant hang with an above average team" wagon , but i still wouldnt say you can beat some of the top teams in the league. (Colts, Pitt, Saints, Vikes, Pats)

(please dont play the homer card. For the record, I dont think we have a shot either. If we dont improve drastically, we aint going anywhere)

And you guys have yet to beat a team with more than 2 wins. Congratulations. Giants are so overrated it's ridiculous.

Elite, I aint trying to start ish but how can you play this card when your Giants lost to the Cardinals at home? I think the Cowboys beating ATL was something to have some kind of pride in.. The Cowboys got a neccessary win, like Baseballa said there's a big difference in 3-3 than 4-2

If you wanna look at it like the Cowboys beat a struggling Falcons team then how does your team go 5-0 and get ripped by the Saints then come home and lose to the Cardinals? They aren't the most consistent team this year.

Another good point didn't even look at that...

I mean the Patriots are 5-2 and I'm still worried about the stretch, I don't think we've established our selves to the fullest yet. It'd be foolish to see a Patriots fan run their mouths about another team after we beat the Titans and Bucs, lol. But then again we did beat the Ravens and Falcons.. The Ravens win meant more, even with those questionable calls..

Thank you Lake!! S

np, pwned

and you guys beat your first "team with two wins" last week. Point being?, not to mention that you dont judge the amount of wins on a time played basis. Dallas has more than two wins, and we beat them IN DALLAS. Making up weird standards<<<

I fail to see your guys point. One home loss as a favorite means your overrated? (thus meaning the cowboys are too?) Or is it because we played weaker than expected in New Orleans (not like the Cowboys havent come out flat, and that was against the Chiefs.

REGARDLESS, Check the thread topic. This discussion has nothing to do with the Giants. We were talking about the cowboys. All i said was dont think that a win over a weak road team qualifies as the pressure game that dallas proved to the world that they arent overrated. I can see you obviously feel that way, by the fact you said nothing about it, and only tried to change the subject.

so do you think the cowboys are better than the giants?

I don't see how stuffing Michael Turner and virtually shutting down Matt Ryan save 2 drives and garbage time is unimpressive. I don't think it proves that they're incredible, but how can they be overrated? Overrated means everybody's talking them up, which no one on ESPN, CSN, Fox Sports or CBS sports is doing. If anything they're talking up the Eagles and Giants, both of which are in the same boat as the Cowboys, they really have yet to prove anything concrete to say that they're a legit contender.

I enjoy your hypocrisy though, stating that the Cowboys are unimpressive yet claiming that beating them in Arlington was impressive. The only thing that was impressive about the Giants win in that game is that physics decided it hated the Cowboys and wanted them to lose miserably. Despite that, the Cowboys held their own but fell short with their ever infamous 2 minute drill "defense".

INT off witten's foot will never happen again.

haha yeah that was some s***.

man i gotta say the cowboys are a little over rated.

For example at the beginning of the year the cowboys were rated higher than some playoff teams. THEY DIDNT MAKE THE PLAYOFFS!

As far as real life goes, ppl are wanting to put romo in the same category as Aikman,and Staughback when he isnt even close.
