Where is "IT"?

everybody always talks about the overused "IT" factors. he has "it" he doesn't ect.

But, I can tell you that after 4 weeks of football, there r 2 distinct "IT's" and neither of which we have.

- "IT" #1 -  The ability to make a play.

Defense:

We simply cannot do it. The defense played pretty well yesterday, I'll give them that, but they didn't make the big plays that they should have. (even that 4th down wasn't a huge play to win or lose the game). Sense and Spencer (who has been terrible thus far) both should have had picks. Newman was in great position on that Marshal TD and as usual he failed to make a play. Newman never makes the play, he's one of the most overrated DB's in the league. and what happened to Demarcus WHERE? he hasn't made a big play all year. Whatever "IT" is we don't have it, and we haven't had it in years and it's frustrating.

Offense:

maybe Felix has "it" he's always hurt and it's too early to tell and maybe Marion does too, and nobody else. It all starts with Romo (who I've always been a huge fan of). He lacks the "IT" which allow good QB's to control the game. His turnovers r dreadful and what's worse is that recently they haven't just been mental they've been mental mistakes and physical inadequacies. His body language last game was lethargic and pathetic. Don't HS coaches preach body language all 4 years? it's almost as if he has given up and then at the end he says well maybe I'll really focus and try to do something with a minute left. The problem is he always falls short. A friend of mine said it best "I like Romo I'm not a Dallas fan, I do like him though, but I just feel like he always blows it" And the worst part is, is that I am a Dallas fan and I do like Romo and Romo does ALWAYS BLOW IT. You know who I miss? I miss the Tony Romo who beat the packers in Dallas in a huge NFC game in '07, what happened to that guy? why do I feel like Romo has aged 6 years but not gotten better? but, hey it can't all be his fault so let's talk about somebody else. Whether we want to admit it or not, the offense misses "The Player" very badly. "The player" was always there drawing double coverage and opening it up for the other mediocre receivers (not including J--Wit). team chemistry is useless when you have no recievers that can get open being covered 1 on 1. RW isn't a deep threat and has trouble moving his 6-3 frame and getting open. Crayton isn't a deep threat and has had trouble creating seperation, Austin is fast and has done nothing in his career to prove he could be a real player this year, and thus far has been an afterthought. Hurd is what he is a #4 or #5 wideout, and that leaves us with Witten who is great and is getting tougher looks from the defense b/c the other guys r awful. None of our receivers can make plays consistently, which in turn hurts romo and then they stack the box and it hurts our run game. The offense needs help and won't get it this year. Wade and JG have 2 options really. Hope the run game dominates and ball control is good, and we win tough grind out games, or take the handcuffs of Romo and live or die by his smarts or lack thereof. Either way, we need plays,they r there to be made, but will someone make "IT"?

And short and sweet IT #2 - Mentality

I love Brooking's play and his whole attitude thus far. That kind of stuff is so contagious, look at Dawkins in Den, and Ray in baltimore, their attitudes set the tone for their teams and they play good,hard, smart, and tough football. Who else on Dallas can say they always play good, hard, smart, and tough football? Not Romo, not Flo, not anbody in the secondary ever, not spencer, not spears, where's D-ware been (see Anthony spencer)?not Martellus, not crayton, williams or hurdaustin (they r now one player who underachieved expectations) Who can anybody look to on this team to play good, smart, hard, and tough football? if u can, please show me. please. and next time flo jumps early somebody smack him in his head and act like you want to hold him accountable. and at least pretend to care.I wish somebody could show some killer instinct and some backbone. But they can't. It all starts with the coach who I fully supported getting this year to change things around, and so far it's looked like the same old gutless Dallas Cowboy team. Forget the X and O's it comes down to desire and execution. We lack both, and that starts with Wade. How about instead of saying after a loss " well yea this one's tough it's always tough when you lose, we had some opportunities it just didn't happen we'll go to work tomorrow" how about saying " we sucked today, we were pathetic, we're underachieving we played like ***, We're going to turn this around, this is unacceptable and it won't be tolerated, whatever we have to do we'll do it, we won't play like this again ever".....try that mentality maybe it can work. But Wade can't and neither can JG, and it's sad b/c it starts with them and trickles down to the rest of the team. I haven't given up on this team, but I've given up on their mentality; it cannot and will not ever win them games. I'm done.
