my father was a huge cowboys fan and because of this i seem to hold on to them since they were my team since childhood. but the team is now held under the tight ship of an egomaniacal owner, has a 30 year old frat boy as its QB and no real charisma or heart. i still root for them and there is no other team that has ever captured my interest but the passion and love for the cowboys i once had is nowhere near the same.
The D has looked okay the last two games, but they were atrocious in the giants game and the tackling has been awful. I think you're severely overrating the line. They're missing blocks, causing penalties on key drives, and getting beat on a lot of plays. The receivers have been running ugly routes, sometimes the wrong ones, and fail to get open. Romo has been high on many of his throws, and careless in the giants game. They've been sucking as a team.

This.
The whole team has had it's moments off being awful. When the Defense needs a key stop, they don't get one. When the Offense needs to keep a drive going, they go three and out. Receivers aren't getting open, Romo has not been accurate so far this year, the secondary has trouble covering people/tackling, outside LB's have struggled to put pressure on the QB's (mainly Spencer, Ware has been double teamed, chipped, and so on, so other side needs to step up), and other things that can be addressed. This team, as a whole, has not shown up consistently.
How much is Greg Ellis' absence attributed to the lack of pressure being put on the QB?
I think it's a great possibility. Spencer has not done anything to prove he is a starter. He's mostly been blocked by one player, and he really hasn't put any pressure on the QB. I think the release of Ellis is the same as TO, it was premature.
I guess you haven't watched the Cowboys this year...ignorant .
delusional
Actually I have and I wouldn't say the team as played very well at all. The secondary sucks, they didn't start getting pressure on the QB until the 3rd game and the run D is above average at best.
The run game has been phenomenal but the pass protection has been and the WRs are average at best. So to say the team as a whole is playing well with the exception of the QB is just blind homerism.
Go ahead and keep thinking this team is 4-0. like that just shows how bad of a poster you are.
Say the Cowboys get wins against the Giants/Broncos and are 4-0. There would still be the same damn problems going on. Lack of discipline, poor clock management, bad tackling, lack of leadership etc etc.
These issues aren't going away. A 4-0 record wouldn't have solved many of these issues as long as Wade/JG are there.
No.. bag...what makes you a horrible poster is taking what I said and making it out that I'm saying this team is 4-0. We're 2-2..don't you read the sports section? What I'm saying is that this team is a lot better if Tony Romo doesn't have his head up his ass. We destroyed the Giants, except for Tony's ups. Our defense completely owned Denver except for one great play to Brandon Marshall. If our QB even managed the game well, we win that game. How do we not throw one ball to Jason Witten in the end zone at the end of that game? I know that's on Garrett, but it was Romo's decision to throw the ball to Champ Bailey on 4th down...and to throw it to him 15 other times. That's on him. I think Tony has a lot of potential, and the fastest release in the NFL, but he needs to get his head out of his ass. Oh, and like completely ing up what I said and turning it in to what you THINK I said is what makes you a dumb ass.
I really don't understand what the the Cowboys are doing on offense? I've seen them play 3 times this year and they can put up points one week, againts the Giants, and then totally suck ass against the Bronocs and only put up 10 pts. One series they run the ball like 80% of the time(which is good for me in FF), score, then the next series pass on first down, pass on second down, penalty, then run on third and long???
Some of the worst play calling I've ever seen.
I wouldn't say they "destroyed" the Giants. The Giants still scored 33 points on the defense. I wouldn't call that "destroying" the Giants. The run game did but the secondary sucks ass. You are saying that the only reason the Cowboys are 2-2 is because of Romo but that's not the case. He is a HUGE problem but the secondary is complete crap, the only team that tackles worse than the Cowboys are the Texans and coaching is joke. The only good thing about this Dallas team is the run game.
I'm not saying my team is playing great...far from it, in fact, but if Romo has decent games against NY and Denver, we win those games...you can't deny that. We should have beaten NY, and if Romo doesn't have 4 turnovers, we do. And the decisions Romo made in that Denver game were incomprehensible...it was ridiculous. A QB is supposed to be the one to lead a team to victory, not cause defeat. I like Romo, but like I said, he's got to get his head out if Dallas is going to win. We changed our offense to be "Romo-friendly," and he's not taking advantage of it.
You see, this is what I wanted to see. But before I get into the post, look at the le again. It's says "So Called Cowboys Fans". That means it was directed at the bandwagoners crying like it's the end of the world.
Now, onto to main point. I got tired of seeing the "woe is me" at ude in regards to the Cowboys. In fact, that at ude is affecting many Spurs fans as well. If you're going to cry that the season is over after four weeks and the Boys should tank the season, then get off the wagon and become a Texans fan.
I'm a Cowboys fan. And I have some fight left in me. I want to see my fellow fans have some fight in them as well. And I want to see my team have fight in them. We can be critical of our team. Our team has flaws. Big Flaws. But I still believe in our team and I still support our team through thick and thin.
This is sports. Things will change. Now lets stop crying about how bad our team is playing and let's support them through thick and thin. We only get 16 weeks of football. I say let's rally around our team and let the season play out. If it doesn't work out the way we want it, then so be it. But at least we stuck with them through the end, warts and all.
BTW, Romo is a problem, but not the only problem, or even the biggest problem.
The first problem is coaching. However, in the passing game, I think the O-Line is the biggest problem. They can't protect Romo. I've seen more tripping calls this year than I can remember, and Week 4 just past. What that tells me is that the line is not moving their feet and are getting beat at the point of attack.
Say what you will about Romo, but not even Montana could be great when he's getting pressured every game.
crazy your a boys fan and a lakers fan wow i bet you love duke and the yankees too
Not Duke, but the Tar Heels.
Being pissed that your favorite team has a waste of a HC/ a nerdy ineffective OC/ and a dip owner who refuses to do what it takes to win if it means relinquishing some control does not mean you're jumping off the wagon.
You sound like an episode of Intervention, but I commend your passion for a team with lots of problems.
Very well put. The Cowboys problems are in the following order:
1.) Jerry Jones 2.) Wade Phillips 3.) Tony Romo
I wouldn't put JJ in there....But Wade and Romo definitely. Without JJ we don't have the SB rings we have. A poorly coached team doesn't win...no matter what. Talent is nothing without someone to corral the egos.
An over involved owner that has the biggest ego of them all isn't a problem at all.
JJ's involvement with the team is obvious..he's the freaking owner. But him being overinvolved is overhyped. He's not on the sidelines anymore..he doesn't control the locker room anymore. We can't blame the problems the Cowboys are having on JJ anymore..it's not the case. Our coaching sucks, and our QB, while talented, has his head up his ass, and is believing all the hype that he sucks, when, in theory, as far as QB ratings go and stats go, his first three years are better than any QB's first three years in history. An unconfident QB is an unsuccessful QB.
Who hired the terrible coaches? Who has hired all the coaches that have sucked since Jimmy Johnson? Who threw away a 1st and 3rd round draft pick on Roy Williams?
I don't deny he is a great owner and really wants to win. He is also an incredible businessman, however, his refusal to hire a GM and make personnel choices himself instead of hiring football people to make those decisions is the problem.
Yes..agreed...that is a problem...but not our biggest problem.
He's the GM, and one of the worst GMs of all time. That alone makes him a huge problem. He's actually their biggest problem because he controls everything. He could have a good GM here. He could have a legit coach here. But he's too delusional to know what he needs to do.
