good job haning in there though

nice tackle

that was AJ's fault?
you’re joking right?
""If they'd have told me you can make the team but you've got to shine the shoes, I'd have been there shining shoes." -Bradley
it was a really obvious block in the back
bobby carpenter is terrible at special teams
""If they'd have told me you can make the team but you've got to shine the shoes, I'd have been there shining shoes." -Bradley
Well the attempt at one was there...
But he missed the block in the back..
So were they flagging him for trying to block in the back?

he hit him
clear as day in the replay
""If they'd have told me you can make the team but you've got to shine the shoes, I'd have been there shining shoes." -Bradley
is Scandrick looking like the best value in this draft?
You’ve got 1st rounders playing like 1st rounders… but here’s a 5th rounder playing like a 1st… gotta luv the guy
Tar Heels football will surprise this year
we tried to for beck
they didn’t want him.

finally Barber
runs and cuts inside…
he’s been doing lots of trying to bounce things outside which works sometimes but not always
barber has far more acceleration than he is credited for
his power causes you to forget his speed
Tar Heels football will surprise this year
barbers so tight lol
Where will you be when the Sixers hoist the Larry O'Brien trophy? Hopefully Liberty Ballers.
he congratulates someone for tackling him
that’d scare me as a defender

I love when MB3
congratulates a guy for trying to be physical with him

-Athos
Barber is a sick man
Everytime someone hits him hard, he loves it and hugs them
are our receivers not open at all?
""If they'd have told me you can make the team but you've got to shine the shoes, I'd have been there shining shoes." -Bradley
one of romo's strengths is supposed to be his reads... so they're doing something right?
Tar Heels football will surprise this year
Cardinals have to protect agains TO on those fake reverses
really opens things up inside
booooooooo
Where will you be when the Sixers hoist the Larry O'Brien trophy? Hopefully Liberty Ballers.
are they not going to run on the right side at all?

O-Line looks awful right now

seems like romo came out cocky that he would have deep routes all day
now settling into what they are giving him

good job crayton

What on God's Green Earth made Romo decide to throw it there?
"Here comes the version of Benoit that lets the other team put it out of reach. I hate that version."
-Athos
I don't mean this as a hater
but is it possible Romo was a flash in the pan? I mean, he looks TERRIBLE as far as decisions, throws, just all around bad!!!
this is a terrible game
and for three weeks now we can’t get the ball to any WR’s. Not good at all
""If they'd have told me you can make the team but you've got to shine the shoes, I'd have been there shining shoes." -Bradley
Does Romo have a INT/fumble quota to meet?
He’s really rushing it.

The receivers aren't getting open
And the Oline isn’t getting Romo time….and then he starts forcing things trying to get a play………
he's just trying to keep his streak alive

This is looking bad
This is extreme, but at this point, you might have to pull him. His head’s not in the game, and he’s holding the ball too long. The bad part is that Brad Johnson will be worse. Direct snaps to Felix anyone?
prolly get rid of it

I really thought
the Cowboys would come up fired up for this game after their last 2 performances. They look flat.
Geaux Cowboys!
I'd say the O-Line looks flat
rest of the O is playing OK, and the D is playing great
Clearly the OL has played awful so far, But
Romo deserves his fair share of the blame for just standing back there and not stepping up in the pocket and/or getting rid of the football
"Here comes the version of Benoit that lets the other team put it out of reach. I hate that version."
-Athos
Again I ask
When is the last time we saw Romo rollout on a scramble? We’ve done it a couple of times on designed plays, but Romo seems so intent on keeping his footwork clean and standing tall in the pocket that he’s lost his creativity.
Poor half
I agree that we’ve gotta be happy with a tie after all the poor play that has happened. What I’m not happy about is that this team doesn’t seem to be performing as well as we know they can thus far this season. Unpopular opinion, I know, but I worry about what Mike Ditka said today about needing vocal team-first guys in the locker room to fight through this stuff. We don’t have many vocal leaders.
BUT the D has shown up big!
the Cards have 75 total yards and no offensive points. give them their props.
Good point
I agree wholeheartedly on this. After the kickoff return and the 3 and out, they showed Ellis and Ware on the sideline looking earnest and determined. They’ve come out and done their job 100%
by some_weird_kid on Oct 12, 2008 4:50 PM CDT up reply actions
SWK... you could not be more wrong
this team is STOCKED WITH VOCAL LEADERS
You can say all you want about the OLine not giving Romo time, the receivers not getting separation, Romo not responding… the special teams…
But, it’s tied going into the half. Unless you see guys not trying, don’t blame leadership.
Tar Heels football will surprise this year
Trust me, I'm no pessimist
I agree with all the negatives in the game, and I agree that there are a lot of character guys on the team, but Witten and Barber don’t say much and lead by example. Romo plays hard and practices hard, but doesn’t get on other guys when they mess up. TO is a great vocal leader, but when he gets discouraged, that doesn’t show as much. Tank Johnson is the only real vocal leader that I can think of.
by some_weird_kid on Oct 12, 2008 4:52 PM CDT up reply actions
Let's examine the Romo dude...
What is going on? I contend that most of the problems stem from the offensive line play. He his getting pressured from every direction and isn’t scambling like he used to do. He isn’t stepping into his throws because theirs guys in his face and yet he is holding onto the ball too long waiting for someone to come open.
The Cowboys need to turn into a 1-2—3 Throw!!! Type of offense. The defense will not back off blitzes or stacking against the run until the Cowboys start making them pay for it.
Hey our O played like crap and were tied 7-7. I will take it.
I just want to see this D play like this the rest of the year.
Hey guys
Well, I guess given the way we played, 7-7 is a good thing. Unfortunately, if we were playing a really good team, we’d be down 24-7 right now.
I don’t get it. We have too much talent to be playing like this so it must be the coaching. My biggest hope is that the leaders in the locker room realize that if they don’t make some noise in the playoffs this year, they may not get many more chances to time to nut up!!
