Bill Barnwell from Grantland did a piece on the top trade assets in the NFL right now. Had a good piece on Romo, thought I'd throw it in here for those who haven't had a chance to read it.

42. Tony Romo, QB, Dallas
Tony Romo is the NFL's walking contradiction. He's almost universally regarded as a quarterback who can't handle the big moments and the pressure-packed situations, and yet Romo led the league with five fourth-quarter comebacks last season. He had a sixth comeback from 14 points down with five minutes left to force overtime in New Orleans, and a seventh comeback against the Ravens in Baltimore fell short when Dan Bailey missed a would-be game-winning field goal. Over the past five seasons, when the game has been within one score in the fourth quarter, the only guys with a higher passer rating are Aaron Rodgers, Peyton Manning, Eli Manning, and Drew Brees. Dude gets after it when the game's on the line, I promise you, but his reputation is awful enough in those situations that even "Stone Cold" Steve Austin doesn't think Tony Romo has what it takes there. (In all fairness, Austin was 5-2 at WrestleMania, so he might be qualified to evaluate Romo's clutch performance.)
Romo's never going to change: He's an incredible improviser capable of making both brilliant plays and absolutely abysmal decisions on the fly.16 The team around him will have to get better if the Cowboys are going to make a push toward a Super Bowl. And as the massive contract Romo just leveraged his way into begins to take hold, it will be harder for the Cowboys to acquire the sorts of surrounding talent they need to satisfy their fans' thirst for a title.
Surgery for Spencer...out 2-4 weeks.

First team defense hasn't allowed a touchdown. 9 forced turnovers in 4 games. On fire, baby.
OG Waters to the boys, Frampton waived to make room.

Had to pick up waters with livings done and in case bernadeau isn't the answer at rg
Defensive lineman Ben bass out up to a month with a dislocated shoulder
Here's hoping nick hsyden and hatcher r up to the challenge vs the giants
Yeah..but Waters was going to happen anyway..he was just in the wait.Quote:

And that Offensive Line was WITHOUT Waters....can't wait till next week when we actually have him on the line. That was our weakness tonight. D looked good.
the Oline sucks at run blocking, they couldnt clear any paths worth a shit
Dude..2 things...1, they did a HELL of a lot better than they did last year at clearing out room. And 2...Waters wasn't even playing. We'll be better next week. This is still going to be a passing team. But without all the pieces of our O-Line against a great front D like NY and Murray still got 86 yards rushing on 20 runs, that's not bad. Not sure what you're expecting.Quote:

Oline was solid u didn't hear free mentioned which was a good thing .smith was awesome vs jpp and leary/frederick held up well inside.Of course bernadeau was the weak link but hopefully a 36 yearold waters still has some nasty left
On defense the turnovers were nice the cowboys were flying around all game . d.line wore out a bit late with depth being an issue but they can still add spence and possibly ratliff to that mix .selvie was nice great find for a former 7th founder who was a fa nobody wanted
George Selvie is a mother fucking man. He was a beast.Quote:

JG's staple as Cowboys headcoach seems to be mediocre .500 ball and consistently mismanaging late game situations. The team seemed to reflect his coaching hangups on that last play. Total shit for brains.
Our running game sucks ass and cost us the game today tbh
that pass interference call was total BS and ended the game. Sure, Romo shouldn't have thrown that pick but there was plently time to make up for it... but the refs ended that. Fuck.
:lol 37 yards rushing, yea the run blocking is good.
Cowboys couldn't run last season nothing new.mental mistakes ,dropped ints and passes that should be tds,garett looking like a mute on the sideline and of course untimely penalties .
Yup same ol cowboys
Good read on Romo
http://www.grantland.com/blog/the-tr...bout-tony-romo
You may have seen that the Dallas Cowboys lost to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. If you were just watching NFL RedZone and checking in sporadically, chances are you noticed that Tony Romo accounted for 88.9 percent of the Cowboys’ yards from scrimmage, but that he also turned the ball over in the fourth quarter. If you’re a self-loathing Cowboys fan who watched the entire game, you may even have gotten into an argument or two after the game about Romo’s merits as a quarterback. What the hell is wrong with you?
It’s safe to say that no NFL quarterback generates more diverse opinions, controversy, or sheer idiocy than Tony Romo (Tim Tebow’s not in the NFL anymore). As the starting quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys, Romo was always bound to be a polarizing figure, even if he wasn’t an undrafted free agent turned three-time Pro Bowler with a beauty queen wife and a penchant for turning the ball over at the Worst. Possible. Time. in the Biggest. Game. Of. The. Year.
But of course, he is all of those things. And this is why it has become legitimately impossible to have a rational conversation about Tony Romo.
Oh, it starts innocently enough. Someone — usually a non-Cowboys fan, but depending on what happened during the most recent Cowboys game, it might actually be a Cowboys fan — says that Romo “sucks.” It’s at this point that a self-loathing Cowboys fan/Romo apologist (this used to be me) feels the need to jump in and point out that by any definition of the word “sucks,” Romo doesn’t.
And that’s where the conversation turns stupid, because no one can be convinced to believe something they don’t already believe about Tony Romo. Trust me, I used to try all the time. All it got me was anger, anxiety, nervous sweats, and sideways looks. That’s why I decided late last season that I would no longer talk about Tony Romo, in real life or on the Internet. If you’d like to do the same, for the sake of your sanity, follow these simple rules.
• Do not talk about Tony Romo, EVER.
• If you find that you absolutely must talk about Tony Romo, only do so by stating facts. For example: “Tony Romo is 13-18 for 186 yards and a touchdown” is good. That’s the kind of thing that can’t be argued with. You play it relatively safe by quoting the box score.
• Never give opinions. “Man, Tony Romo is playing a great game right now” is bad. Adjectives are not your friend.
• If someone else gives an opinion about Tony Romo — for example, “Tony Romo sucks” — DEFINITELY DO NOT RESPOND AT ALL. This is how you end up in the danger zone.
• If for some reason you just couldn’t help yourself and responded with something like “Romo doesn’t suck. By almost any statistical measure, he is probably somewhere between good and really good,” WALK AWAY AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE, PREFERABLY BEFORE THE OTHER PERSON RESPONDS TO YOU.
• If for some reason you didn’t walk away before the other person responded with something like “I don’t care what the numbers say. He’s not a winner,” DO NOT RESPOND by quoting his career winning percentage, or by stating that the number is higher than Drew Brees and Eli Manning. This will only lead you further down the rabbit hole.
• It is likely around this time that the person you’re speaking with will try to make a factual assertion that has little to no basis in reality. For example: “Don’t just give me winning percentage. It’s all about clutch plays, and Romo is terrible in the fourth quarter.” Whatever you do, DEFINITELY DO NOT INFORM THIS PERSON that Romo has the highest fourth-quarter passer rating of any quarterback since 2000. If you’ve already done this, it’s too late. There’s no saving you.
• When this person then states, “It’s not just about the fourth quarter, you idiot. He’s never won a big game in his life,” DO NOT SUBTLY REMIND THIS PERSON that Romo led the Cowboys to a win over the undefeated Colts (who eventually won the Super Bowl) in Week 11 of 2006, beat a 10-1 Green Bay Packers team in Week 13 of 2007 (which helped clinch a first-place finish in the NFC), beat a 13-0 Saints team (that eventually won the Super Bowl) in Week 15 of 2009 as part of a 3-0 season-ending finish that helped clinch a playoff spot, or that he knocked off Philadelphia in Week 17 of 2009 to win the division, then took out the Eagles again a week later in the first round of the playoffs. Everyone and their mother knows the only big games Romo has ever played are his three playoff losses and the Week 17 games against the Giants and Redskins the past two seasons, which he also lost. Who cares about games in Week 11, Week 13, and Week 15, anyway? It’s all about the PLAYOFFS, baby, and Tony Romo is 1-3.
• At this point you’re angry, and you’re almost definitely getting some weird looks. You’ve resorted to talking about the same kind of small sample sizes as the person you’re arguing with; you’re just using different samples. The meaning of nuance has long since been forgotten. Soon, you’ll be comparing Romo’s career numbers to his December-and-January-only numbers, looking up the season-by-season DVOA ratings for the Cowboys defense and running game since Romo became the starter and comparing it to other quarterbacks of his stature, playing “which quarterback would you rather” games with your Twitter followers and posting pictures of Romo’s and another QB’s Pro-Football-Reference.com profiles with the names taken out, and all other kinds of craziness. And I have to tell you, it’s just not worth it.
Maybe if they didn't give up on running the ball in the second half, there would have been more. But I was talking about Game 1, tbh...and you were wrong. I said nothing about run blocking in this game.Quote:

The last time attendance was down like this was during the third consecutive 5-11 season in 02', Parcells was brought in the next year. It takes a lot for that old senile SOB to do something, hopefully this waste of a season will prompt him to hire a proven, smash mouth leader.Quote:

He just shakes his head and looks like a little bitch while doing it. Accountability is key IMO.
As a Jerry hater it was another perfect game........ Who was that defense whiz he
hired?
Marinelli and Kiffin have done a lot to improve the defense. Any defense will have a hard time against a high powered offense like Denver, especially with a smart QB like Peyton. Give those two some time, they have already instilled a culture change on the defensive side of the ball. It will only get better with a couple more offseasons, and a coach who won't tolerate any bullshit from anyone on the team.Quote:

Jerry wants to be known as a smart football guy but he has had enough time
now to prove that is not going to happen. He is a smart business man, smarter than
Cuban who has that rep. Jerry has enough money to hire the best guys to run his team
and step aside, but he plays the Cowboys as his fantasy football team. I would
love to have Jerry in my League.
they had a shot n waz close then any1 wooda thought but alot of +s out of dis game on O n boys still up der in da nfc east :tuQuote:

Looks like a kiss and make up after they had called the cops yesterday.
Miles Austin will play Sunday. His strained left hammy is good enough to play.
I didn't pick him for my fantasy team because he is out just about every
year with a hammy strain. The guy has to be super tight.
Demarcus Ware expected to miss 3-4 weeks with strained quadriceps
gods team
Nick Foles will start as QB.
Cowboys release Jay Ratliff

Jason Garrett is a dumb coach. When you have the ball in your opponent's territory with 1:30 left and your opponent only has 2 timeouts.. YOU KNEEL THE F*CKING BALL 3 TIMES AND RUN THE CLOCK DOWN! But not our coach.. he hands the ball off 3 times with the 3rd play ending up in a penalty.. you ran 10 seconds off the clock... brilliant !
I kept yelling.. "kneel the ball"
I accept the medicority of the Cowboys today but it is infuriating to see another dumb loss with yet another an assist from the dumb head coach..
aaand Bryan Waters likely out for the season.
