D is probably about spent
with 5 turnovers or whatever it is
they haven't been on the field long though
they shouldn’t be….
Red Ball needs to answer for the playcalling
Dominating when running and airing it out the next drive?
Starting
To turn the corner on Romo, and NOT in a good way.

ummm i think he got lucky there
there wasa guy coming for him there
psh good coverage
that was a really good throw though
exactly
someone needs to check the BTB ledges… Grizz?

seriously
the only thing worse than the mistakes on the field is how quickly some folks here give up on our team.
he ran for 3 on first down..
there is NOTHING wrong with throwing on second….
I can't beleive no one on our team can get open

Romo doesn't even look to see if a WR is open......
sad.
He decides before the snap.
Wash is an idiot!!
is bennett banged up?
haven’t seen much 2 TE sets tonight.
by desus32 on Sep 20, 2009 10:14 PM CDT via mobile reply actions
then your not paying attention.......
two tight end sets have been run for at least half the plays, there just lined up in different formations and you haven’t noticed it
by TARHEEL PAUL on Sep 20, 2009 10:56 PM CDT up reply actions
he is definitely hurting
hes getting up slow after most tackles
I am so F****ing sick of this team
collapsing in big games!!!!!
by StillHateTheGiants on Sep 20, 2009 10:15 PM CDT reply actions
We have absolutely no downfield threat
All of our long TD’s last week were shorter passes with long YAC
better than having him lead us on for 3 mos
then coming unglues
Ok this game
its all, which is more important, running the ball or turn overs?

Ok
Can we get some form of f*cking COVERAGE on Manningham?
by Pete222 on Sep 20, 2009 10:18 PM CDT via mobile reply actions
They have receivers that actually make plays, who'd a thought
I guess that’s why you drafdt them instead of finding them after the draft
then stop posting here with your negativity
glad the players don’t give up as easy as some fans do
we’re down by 3 with 10 mins left
when was the last time ever did our team have an int
this year or last, because I seriously can’t remember
prob the same thing
he was thinking when he requested the raves for our last game at the old stadium
Hey Jerry
Your boy Phillips brought an unprepared team for you grand opening. Will that make you mad?
i crush you like grape
somebody oughta tell him to look at the scoreboard
The defense is finally breaking.
They are gassed. Manningham is having a career night.
king dumbface, huh
you spend a lot of time on that one?
Why do I forsee
One more dumb penalty coming?
by Pete222 on Sep 20, 2009 10:20 PM CDT via mobile reply actions
There we go defense!!!
aside from manningham we’re really playing pretty well i think
Yeah, still a chance for another turnover!

now we need romo to score and then our D to hold them to less than a FG....
hmmm……this smells terrible….
agreed
we need a game winning td with time expiring i think lol
This sucks even more
for us east coast guys. Now I have to go to bed mad.
My last game thread, no positive emotions. 6 point game and 7 minutes
left. You’d think this was over..
Oh look
We have a running game!!!!!!!!!
by Pete222 on Sep 20, 2009 10:24 PM CDT via mobile reply actions
romo just got lost there and threw it away
Hes just not ok. WE need t have the ball with two minutes left when he can rely on his instincts.
This is good
but if we score they will have 2 much time

WOW
I am so impressed with this run game tonight. I love it. Lets go D!
i like this running game
we pass for 22 yards in the 2nd half and do ok

For all the crappiness that’s been happening it’s been a very even fight all evening I think.

this season is over for Dallas
not that I thought they were going to make the playoffs before the season started.
1.2 billion dollar stadium, and the cowboys played up to their level of the last three years. bye bye Wade Philips, mike Holmgren, this will be your problem next year.
Dallas looks like the same old team that closed out old texas stadium

Its week 2 of a 16 game season.
I am starting to think that those WRs are pretty good

Typical Romo.
I said it a year ago and I’ll say it again now. Cowboys will NEVER NEVER win a Super Bowl with Romo as the QB.
Seriously
He hasn’t developed one bit since last year. He is the same idiot that can’t control himself in key situations.

Our GUTLESS Quarterback
Sorry Terry, but I’m freaking done with gutless, choke-artist Tony Romo. Everything the national media, the local media, and the fans from other NFC cities says is right: he’s a chump who folds like a gutless coward in big games.
He may go on to a great career, but I’m done with him. I’m now on the outside of the Tony Romo bandwagon.

I wonder if Romo was still trying to force the ball to TO
Since that’s the reason everyone said he was throwing picks all last year.
because
our defense can’t pressure the qb. or cover mediocre wr’s. or tackle.
by lildrummerboy on Sep 20, 2009 11:01 PM CDT up reply actions
No
I hate Winnie as much as the next guy, but the defense had to deal with ridiculous situations against a tough team with nothing but short fields.
And the defense kept them out of the end zone several times.
This team had chances to blow it open, and romo gave them all back to the NYG.

No Interceptions and no Sacks...
Can these cornerbacks cover at all? Over/under on interceptions…I say three? What say you? Ware sighting anywhere? Spencer got better pressure today. Contract in his head?
SQAURELY ON ROMO'S SHOULDERS.
I have noticed a new resurgence in Cowboy hating in 2007, which can only mean one thing- We're back.
Romo sucked, the D sucked, horrible game. Best that can be said is that
as awful as they were, they were never out of the game.
Giants Were Beat Up
Only six defensive backs active, Justin Tuck and Chris Canty out, Hixon out…and they still beat us. Pretty pathetic.
It’s the same old story. Mental mistakes galore, and you can always count on Wade defenses giving up a killer drive at the end of a half. Happens like clockwork.
I can't get over

our reward
watching a post game eli interview – fantastic
Face it
Eli is 5 times the QB that Romo is.
I said it in the off season and people pounced on me. Now? I bet not.

its not as simple as that

This game leaves me sick.
god awful.

Tashard better sharpen his cleats
with the holes our line is opening, and Barber out, he and Felix are going to have to carry the team because Romo obviously cannot.

No sacks from our highly touted D line. Ware may not get that BIG contract after all. He was handled all night.

No pass rush. Romo is erratic.
Do we really miss Chris Canty that much? Way to start the year while playing for a contract, Ware!
Romo just chokes at the worst of times. I don’t like how he plays in games like this. Not the kind of “Legend” you want. We used to poke fun at Eli and his dumbo look. He gets the last laugh! Archie is rightly very proud of his boys.
This has the makings of another disappointing season if the defense can’t stop anyone.
I said at the end of last year that I would give Romo the first four games of this year to show he's progressing
as an NFL quarterback, but after what I saw tonight, he’s the same quarterback I’ve seen for three years now, and he’s not the answer for this team getting to and winning any post season games. As far as I’m concerned, Tony is nothing more than a average quarterback
I don't hate any player
I watch his mechanics, his game management, his checks, his throws, that’s where I come to my conclusions,it has nothing to do with hate of a player I don’t know him personally…
I didn't see any reason tonight to argue your point.
Family, Friends, Cowboys, Beer & BBQ. Life is good!
Completely True
My research into quarterbacks similar to Romo led me to believe he would actually be a little worse this year than he was last year. And last year he just a little above average.
I’m sticking with my prediction we will go 8-8, largely because of Romo.
Too many turnovers and no pressure on the qb
lost us this game.
He needs a pass Rusher on the opposite side

by The Immortal Iron Fist AKA AFB on Sep 20, 2009 10:59 PM CDT up reply actions
very frustrating
but there was actually a lot of positive to take out of this game. we can’t turn the ball over 4 times and expect to win against a team like the giants. but the fact that we turned it over 4 times and almost pulled out a win says a lot of other things were going right. this goes back to what we’ve been saying all offseason, this team can be dominant if they just clean up the game-changing mistakes, especially romo. easier said than done, obviously, but still I’m always a glass half full guy and despite the loss a lot of areas looked good, especially the run game and red zone D, and one more play bounced our way we coulda had it.
there were a ton of positives
What many thought were the best team in the nfc (giants) needed Romo to sh** the bed to even be in the ballgame. We played one of our best overall games in a while. Kinda like the Pitt game.
Romo just hasn’t been the same since the injury against arizona, hes had terrible problems with accuracy in Washington, Pitt, Baltimore, wasn’t good against philly, started slow against T and was terrible against the GIants. He just does not look comfortable back there anymore…
after JJ is done breaking chairs,
i hope he starts breaking some butts in the locker room
Turnover cost us the game...
You can’t win -4 in the turnover ratio. We had shabby tackling in the secondary both our young corners got exposed. Romo was off this game but we got our hands on some balls some passes as well that we didn’t convert to turnovers and the biggest number? 0.. ZERO sacks.
You can blame Romo if you want to because he played like crap. But this is a team sport and if our defense doesn’t fix the poor tackling and the soft zone in the middle it aint going to get any better

With this running game. Are you serious.
Like I said. The 2008 draft will haunt us for years.
Do you still think our receivers are better than theirs.
Giants fan here
wish I could gloat… but I can’t.
You guys dominated on both sides of the ball… if not for the TOs this would have been a Cowboy blowout.
On the bright side for you guys… you running game is what our’s was supposed to be… and wasn’t. And your run defense was what our’s was supposed to be… but wasn’t.
Both teams pass rushes sucked, however.

Ummm, 330 yards passing? That’s a dominating performance? Dominating rushing, yes, beyond my worst nightmares. But giving up 400+ yards is not a dominating performance.

Romo sucks.
And so does Garrett for calling stupid pass plays – especially when our running game was OUTSTANDING.

Watch Romo say, "we had a chance to win if we stopped them"
Like he played a great game…

really, off one game you can come to that conclusion?????
I came away from this game with a ton of confidence. We shot ourselves in the foot all night long. A couple of lucky bounces for the giants. We dominated this game against one of the best teams in football and they had to have all the bounces go there way to win at the last second. I still feel good about this team.

i blame garrett
romo was having a off night it happens to the est of QB. i want to know why did we abandon the run for 2 startight drives after they went 80+ yds on the ground? we were killing them on the ground why did we leave that? they couldnt stop the run and romo was off so we…….. throw the damn ball
I've been a supporter of Romo

Hey, the Giants are still great. Manning is rapidly maturing into a top-flight QB. Four turnovers and a bend but don’t break defense and the Cowboys still almost won.

Without Romo we score 14 if we are lucky
He does serve to keep the defense from stacking against the run
he had a horrible game....but so did Peyton in his first couple of years.....and he won a super bowl
Actually No
Peyton has never in his entire career, including when we was a 22 year old rookie starting for a bad team, had a three interception game with as few as 127 yards. Ever. In his entire career.
the defense was put in bad positions because of romo's int's and felix's fumble
this loss rests on his shoulders and his only
That's a contradictive statement.
You say the defense was put in bad positions because of his int’s and felix’s fumble and then say that it just rests on his shoulders.. that makes no sense.

Romo is streaky
His TD’s and INT’s come in bunches. It might be a good idea to take the ball out of his hands once he appears to be the “Bad Romo”. I’d give him a 2 turnover limit.
they really do.
He has a confidence problem – when things get out o control, he can’t reel it in and get his head straight. We’ve seen it in 1 or 2 games a year

I remember the one time I saw Tom Landry lose it on the sideline Danny White threw a late INT that cost us the game. In the replay you could read Tom’s lips… “NO DANNY NO!” but to no avail

defense
inconsistant defense and lousy play callin it all comes down to the head coach. why have romo throwing the ball around like that when clearly we had control of the line of scrimage is the sign of a bad corodinator.
I'm giving the D a pass tonight...
Taking the field too soon after 4 turnovers is too much to overcome for any team. And even at that, they still made some plays and stops to keep it close until the end.
As for Romo, had to look out my window and check for snow cause I sure as hell thought it was December.
I'm more surprised by Ware than anyone else
why isn’t he getting sacks? That is his primary job. Really confused on that one.
Hes getting pushed outside easily all the time
I don’t get it either. But he does deserve props cause him and spencer were amazing in terms of run D
He's taking responsibility like a pro
but he’ll bounce back. Cutler was awful last week , better this week. Brady was magic last week, lousy this week. That’s how it goes.
scandrick and jenkins were the ones that mostly got picked on.

he doesn't make costly mistake, we win that game.

very well. Tony can’t help that. WT heck is the defense with turnovers? Tony giftwrapped a couple, but the defense went tits up too. If not for Ratliff the defense would have been abysmal.

No...
It was a nice play to Witten there. What was wrong with it? Pass or not, he was the QB to give us a chance to win with 3:40 to go.
after the way the cowboys ran the ball, teams will force romo to beat them in the future. can’t say i feel good about that.
Russian Machine Never Breaks
I do...
He’s got a 95.7 career QB rating. 95.7!!!
His career number would have put him 4th last year and t6th in 2007. Yeah, that’s wretched.
And Roethlisberger....
Was wretched in his first 2 playoff games (5 ints) . Yes, he won 1 of those games. Or rather
Romo’s thrown 1 in his first 2.
Oh...
And we don’t know what plays were called and what he changed to. QBs still get credit if their offense moves the ball.

this was the equivalent of a playoff game. I pay good money to and invest my life in the Cowboys.

Running Game
was so good throughout the game,eptions? Just don’t understand Romo’s thinking there.
Maybe too much blame on our DB's
Don’t get me wrong. They deserve alot of blame. But nobody can keep coverage when there is no pressure on the QB.
here's my take
we got gashed last week on rushingdefense. so we work hard all week to make sure we stop the run. we ask more of our CBs. we figure, we have three elite CBs – this is how teams do it – this is how they stop the run , stop the pass, and become a dominant d – so we ask more of our CBs and they go out and crap the bed. the question is, what corrections tdo wee tak this week.
We need a pass rush!
Chris Canty, Gregg Ellis, Kevin Burnett……. WE MISS YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes. I'm joking with Burnett, but Ellis and Canty we miss.
We don’t have much of a pass rush this year! Maybe it was Brian Stewart calling the defensive plays?
are you serious?
I’ll give you a nod on Ellis, but Canty and Burnett were NOT pass rushers by no means… not even close.

OK guys calm down...
Bleah. We played poorly. No doubt.
And yet….
They couldn’t run on us or stop the run.
They had three weird bounces that all went their way (any one of which if it goes the other way and we probably win)
We had a lead despite a -4 turnover ratio with 3:40 to play….
Against one of the best teams in the NFL
One stop. One stop away from winning a game we played wretchedly in.
Guys… I’m here to say right now that you can jump off the bandwagon if you want, but don’t come back and say I knew they were good all along when they do well later on.
So far, the Cowboys have scored 65 points, 32.5 points per game, despite not having a single turnover created or really big field position play on special teams. I don’t know if they’ve started a single drive inside the opponent’s 50. Think on that for a second and then remember that we’ll get some of those breaks later on.
Wrong.
This is the exact same pep talk people gave last year. Why? Because it’s the exact same team. Meaning – exact same results. Romo will be lucky if he even gets another chance to choke in the playoffs.

The exact same team. I didn’t say this last year. We didn’t have near the team we do this year.
Really?
Felix comes back
Kosier comes back
Bennett steps forward
Williams is here
TO is not
Olshansky for Canty
Sensabaugh for Williams
Jenkins/Scandrick for Henry
DeCam for Read
All of these are either improvements or switches.
I knew last year’s team was going to struggle with the safety play. This year, the safety play has been OK.
I knew the offense would struggle some because it got focused. This year, this is a great offense. We’re going to average around 28ppg and that’s awesome.
Different team.
is that right
was Felix not here last year
Kosier was here last year, injured, but he was here when Dallas won 13 games and lost in the playoffs and was here when Dallas won 9 games the next year
Bennett was here last year
Williams was here last year, and replaces T.O, the locker room cancer
Olshanky is a push
Snsabaugh, upgrade over the cardboard cutout back there for the last four years
other than a kickoff specialist, it’s essecually the same team, as I said, not a different team
Felix played what 6 games last year
Bennett was a rookie still learning to block last year
Williams was hurt last year
Look at...
The offensive line play and tell me that Kosier’s absence wasn’t huge. Look at the blocking tonight.

Anyone else alarmed by the play of the Defence so far this season
It seems like the defence is going through the same thing as the San Diego defence.
Once the rest of the league figures out their blitz packages, they can’t stop anyone or pressure the QB.
I'm pissed at Tony
but seriously folks, he is one man and not the only one out there sucking scissors tonight, geez this isn’t a tennis match. Let’s pass the love around shall we?
Hmm, Flo, Newman, Newman, Newman, Jenkins, Scandrick, Felix on the fumble, I’m sure ya’ll can add to this list. Plz. Had our D stopped the last drive we would be notso mad at Tony. Ya’ll need to chill.

Don't you know?
The season is done at 1-1

But why isn't the flipside also true?
If the D stops the G-Men on the last drive, Romo’s 3 INTs don’t matter.
damn skrait - saved me the trouble of typing all that out dcfan - nite all - and u might all as well
quit bitching cuz u know as well as i do that we’ll all be right back here again hoping to see a can of whoop ass get poured on the Panthers….so why fight it

Taking a slightly longer view...
you guys should easily win your next 4 out of 5 (Carolina, Denver, Kansas City, Atlanta, and Seattle) with Atlanta being the one questionable one….i mean you can’t pick four weaker teams to get healthier against.
However, as a Saints fan, I’m licking my chops for the Dec 19th game. Brees may throw for 600 that night.
this team plays down to it's competition
I always thought Dallas should of traed for Brees, liked him in college
Sigh....
That really sucked. Watching a calm, cool, and collected QB drive his team to victory. Too bad it was Eli. We’ve been saying it for nearly a couple of years now that Tony needs to make better decisions. I haven’t givin up on him but I’m doubting him more n more.
he had a bad game (see Buffalo monday night)
he still led team to what would have been the winning points if we coul;d have held on D….we even had them at 1st & 20 deep in their own territory and the same guys that were open all night were open on that drive and zero pressure on manning
NY got all those lucky bounces and tips!
Romo did his share, but it was just a weird game! If you would have told me before the game, that we’d turn the ball over 4 times and we only lose by two, I wouldn’t believe you! We needed just one more stop from the defense, but all the turnovers and weird bounces had them gassed, and it is September, so the heat had to play a factor.
does it matter?
he has one of the best of all time…
more like the pitt game to me
Philly was a debacle. Nothing has felt like that. This felt like the Pitt game where we played great for most of the game and Romo was holding us back
Darren Woodson
We haven’t had consistent safety play since he retired. Larry Brown is right.
It's funny
As some of you guys have pointed out already, if a bounce or two comes your way, the ’Boys win going away, TOs and all.
And instead you’d all be writing about how resilient your team was to have overcome all that adversity.
From my (the Giants) side of the fence, it’s a good thing we won ‘cause otherwise the meltdown in Giants Nation would make the gloomy talk goin on here tonight seem like a child’s birthday party.
Other than the final score, not a whole lot for us Giant fans to be happy about. The supposed strengths of our team – the running game and the defensive line – played like dogmeat tonight. If those things don’t get fixed quick fast in a hurry, the Giants will be little more than a 9-7 team this year.
You guys, OTOH, have a lot to build on going forward. Your running game looks like it’s at an elite level. Yes, Eli and our young WRs were able to exploit your secondary and your own lack of a pass rush (perhaps Ware needed Canty to occupy blockers last year more than anyone really knew) But if Romo can learn to be more of a “game manager” and less of a gunslinger, you should be able to control the clock in lots of games and take some pressure of your D.
As I said earlier, I’m happy the Giants won… but I’m not feeling all that pleased at how they looked in doing it.
Just my .02 as a Giants fan…
Actually...
He has done some very positive things.
Look at where he is holding the ball right now. It’s much closer to his body. That will reduce his fumbles, which has been a problem.
Today he was just off. That happens.
Yes. Our DBs still scare me.
They need a pass rush to help them out, otherwise…….
We'll bounce back
Tony is a good qb, just not tonight, and things sure were fluky and not bouncing our way tonight at all. That was so freaking weird. You can’t get all messed up because this was some sort of “milestone” game. Gimme a break? Was it the playoffs? Were we playing for our lives tonight? NO and NO. It was a “milestone” because of Jerry’s egotisical greed and over-consumption gaudy freak stadium? This was week 2 of the regular season against a hated division rival and we lost. Nothing more, nothing less. Don’t drink the kool aid, it’s poision.

Horrible........9-7 fellows is being kind after that second half garbage we just witnessed
abouletly horrific…….
Did Ed Reed play tonight because who the heck was he throwing to on that Hurd play…………We talked about what Romo can’t do for us to do anything this year and guess what same old Romo in 2009………c’mon really???
Newman, Scandrick were roasted all game………
our ILBs, particulally James always over pursues the QB….
We still almost won
even with the three picks, so it’s not all that bad. I’m more worried about MBIII’s injury at this point. We need all three of our backs this season.
9-7 is probably right on...

We just physically manhandled the giants
we needed one of the worst 4 qb performances from romo’s 40 game career to lose this one.
I don’t feel too much differently about our chances now than before – but we need to right this ship immediately
This team will struggle to beat the Skins
"Well, we didn't block real good but we made up for it by not tackling."

the giants
didn’t exactly make it look easy.
Interesting. The radio callers are crapping on Romo, and Larry
Brown is hammering the D. Lack of safety help for the corners, lack of QB pressure, lack of turnovers, lack of Kevin Burnett.
Thanks to Neill O'Donell....
Right place at the right time. He had Kevin Smith and Darren Woodson to help him….
Good night everyone
I can only talk myself into a positive outlook, if I stay here too long, I’ll kill myself, ya’ll are so depressing

Hey, look on the bright side
at least your team actually, like, scores once they get inside the 20.
That’s a feat the Giants have not managed to accomplish even once this year.
get the fuck out

The guy is being nice....
Leave him alone!
Dude
I’m not here to troll… so don’t misconstrue my posts as rubbing it in.
I’m simply trying to make the point that Dallas outplayed my boys tonight and should never have lost the game. We could not run the ball – but you did. We could not stop the run – but you did. We could not score TDs inside the red zone – but you did.
Sadly for your ’Boys, the outcome was decided by TOs…. as it so often is. Unfortunately, relying on the other team to turn the ball over four times in a game is not a sustainable long term strategy. At some point, you need to take charge of your own destiny and punch the ball in when you have the opportunity. That the Giants have shown themselves utterly incapable of doing so worries me greatly.
Just sayin’

sorry for seeing your response as something of a sarcastic tone. Looking at the responses, it looks like I was the only one who saw it that way and I apologize for that use of profanity.

Right.
Our red zone offense is good. Yours on the other hand…… I’d be worried too.
Safe to say that neither team is elite
New Orleans looks special to me.

its week 2....
“elite” doesn’t matter at this point. NO looks special pffensively but they have given up an amazing number of yards to the lions and eagles….to me it looks like the same old same old, just like us.
When you score that much and that fast, you are bound to give up big yards

Put up mousetraps.......
….don’t be a celebrity QB…….
Norm made and excellent point.....
and a disturbing one…Romo made all these mistakes wwithout pressure for the most part……
Stick a fork in Romo
He is the same kid who was over his head when we first saw him play the Giants a few years back.
This team, with a better QB, could make a deep playoff run.
"Well, we didn't block real good but we made up for it by not tackling."

Seriously, would you rather have.....
Quincy Carter? Ryan Leaf? Chad Hutchinson? Anthony Wright? Clint Stoerner? Drew Bledsoe?
That argument no longer has validity
better than crap is only better than crap. This team deserves better.

Aikmans and Staubachs don't exactly grow on trees.
Ask the 49ers if they’ve ever recovered from not having Montana and Young. How long did it take Pittsburgh to replace Bradshaw?
We don't need Aikman on this team...
a good game manager would suffice. Just someone who doesn’t become the MVP for the other team is all I ask.

Okay, I need to try and change lanes
Didn’t you love Ratliff making that play on Bradshaw in the flat?

Ratliff was great all day
as were ware and specner in the run game (but no pressure). We absolutely shut down the giants run game.
Roy had a real shot at that deep ball
"Well, we didn't block real good but we made up for it by not tackling."
- John McKay, the first coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Roy Williams?
On which deep ball? The one right before the half?. Not sure what you’re responding to.
not responding, just pointing out
the one later in the game where he was running deep down the left side…
"Well, we didn't block real good but we made up for it by not tackling."
- John McKay, the first coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
That Was the One RIght Before
The half. Tough one to catch, and his second foot came down out of bounds.
The O-line played outstanding football tonight
…and that is something we can build on.

I loved the QB draw call on 3rd and goal
Great call by Redball.

I'd bet on 59-21 Saints as the final score for us if we played NO

Can you imagine our DB's against that crazy passing attack?

You didn’t have to dig too hard to come up with those stats, eh Bishop?

suggests Romo even WANTS to get it fixed.
Hell, he had a whole off season to get it fixed.

Romo's Press Conference
I don’t like his interviews. He always sounds defensive and insincere, like he’s forcing himself to say cliches to placate his audience. In the midst of taking the blame for his mental mistakes tonight, he had to slip in that he’s “improved in a lot of areas”.
Tony, when you suck, just come right out and say it. No big deal. But trying to tell everyone you’re improving when you lay an egg just looks delusional.
I think you were arguing to the contrary with me earlier this off season
Did Tony piss you off that much?
"Well, we didn't block real good but we made up for it by not tackling."

I Remember Disagreeing with You
About offensive lines, but not about Romo’s press conferences. I think you may be thinking of someone else…
I said the exact same thing when he was signed...
people made him out like he was the next Woodson coming in….
On Romo...
I WILL GET OVER THIS.
But I am just so freakin’ disappointed that I take this stuff more seriously than he seems to.
I guess that is what it means to be a fan.
"Well, we didn't block real good but we made up for it by not tackling."

Not true
I understand the word, “professional”.
That separates us.

and we can stop praising Scandrick being better than anyone at this point...
He definately hasn’t proven anything yet and is not a better CB than Jenkins right now…I like him, but let’s stop already…
Jerry will still get his money's worth

One thing I complimented Romo on last year...
was his accuracy.
Now, I think he is just inconsistent. He no longer qualifies as accurate in my book.
Plus, the slow starts are just mental. He’s a loser until proven otherwise.

THAT BACKHEEL WAS ALL ON ROMO AND U THOUGHT HE WAS ACCURATE THIS IS THE FIRST GAME I HAVE EVER BET AGAINST THE COWBOYS WITH THE MONEYLINE AND I AS SO RIGHT ROMO IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE A LOSER. i WAS SO HIGH ON HIM THOUGH THOSE TURNOVERS MADE ME HATE HIM IF
ELI CAN DO IT THEN I CAN DO IT GIVE ME MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO NOT GET ANY PRESSURE ON ME
2 games and ZERO takeaways
Can that be right?
