Whenever there's a CEREMONY Team finds way to Loose

I had a thought leading up to the reaven game. Unfortunatley it became true. It feels like everytime the cowboys have a home game and want to appreciate their past the current team F...'S it up. Obviously last night was the latest example. In 2006 Troy and Rayfield get honored at halftime of a monday night game vrs the giants (for going into the hall) and they come out and blow that game. 2005, the night the triplets go into the ring of honor and they blow a 13-0 lead to of all teams washington, to spoil the night. 2002 Emmitt breaks the rushing recored and yet the team looses to seattle.

If I didnt know any better I would think they were being punished for their past sucsess.

thinking the same thing..

Romo has what a 12-1 night game record or something well 12-2 now but yet it was a special night so i couldnt help but to think back to emmitt game and the triplets inductee but yet the redskin triplet inductee game was giving me hope to but i guess no one on the cowboys thought it was possible to get two scores in a min.

What the French?! Toast!

man, are you reaching!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

how about this, Romo in December, the coaches, and this team doesn’t know how to win key games when it counts in December…

A rookie Quarterback comes into Texas Stadium, the second rookie Qurtaerback to come into Texas Stadium and win a game, Rothlesburger, being the other and doesn’t turn the ball over. That’s what you want from your Quarterback, Tony Romo, on the other hand thinks he’s playing back yard football and just just cant win consistantly turning the ball over…

Can the cowboys still get into the plays, sure with help, but even if they do, they aren’t going anywhere. You just cant depend on this team to do the things you need to do to win big games..

Not saying they lost just because of the ceremony

I’m just pointing out how big of a let down it has been when there’s something special going on at the stadium.

I also want to say this. Although this team seems to loose when they shouldnt or have the game in hand, the past few years they have shown resilency when things look bleek. If they get help from Minnesota or Deigo today they will play good football next week in Philly.

kind of a tangent...

but I hope the instal the ring of honor one name at a time (or a few at time) over the course of the season.

i think the guys deserve a new ceremony for the new stadium

Blame Tony

If you must. But, from what I saw the offensive line couldn’t pick up a jelly donut, let alone a blitz.
