***Cowboys Talk***

[tbone413]

I will say the team isn't terrible until you get to the oline though. If this oline was a top 10 oline in the league, Dallas would rocket to a top 5-10 team easily I think. (not counting injuries.

The current combined record of the first four Cowboys opponents: 9-3. No other team in the NFL will have had a tougher first four weeks as measured by the current 2011 W/L records. Six other teams have faced opponents with a combined 8-4 record (MIA, CIN, IND, DEN, OAK, KC). Predictably, the combined W/L record of these six teams is 4-14.

Tony Romo has been playing hurt through two games. Miles Austin missed the Redskins game. Dez Bryant missed the 49ers game and and wasn't his usual self in most of the two other games.

Yet the Cowboys are second in the league with 8.9 passing yards per attempt behind only the Patriots (10.0). The Cowboys' 1,003 passing yards in three games are ranked third in the league behind only the Patriots and Saints. And what's even more surprising: The Cowboys lead the league in big catches of more than 25 yards with 13.

Prior to Monday night, Tony Romo had thrown at least one touchdown pass in 20 straight games, dating all the way back to 2009. Romo's streak was the second-longest current active streak in the NFL behind only Drew Brees, who has a 30-game active streak, and who just tied Dan Marino's streak this weekend

Every team the Cowboys have/will face the first 4 weeks has been undefeated.

Mitch[/color]]Congrats to Romo for throwing a TD pass, oh wait - Congrats to Romo for getting his team into position to run it in during 60 minutes of play. I'll give credit to your rookie kicker.

1. Costa is the worst center in the league. He snapped 3 balls early (ALL of which Romo was able to corral saving turnovers), even picked one up to save a 15 yard loss and gain 2 yards.

2.WR had NO idea where to line up

3.Wr ran wrong routes all night

4.The run game was pitiful other than a few big break away runs.

5.Cracked ribs, Punctured lung, and a giant bullet proof vest attatched to his side.

6. Drove his team down the field in the clutch (which is ALL that matters when your an NFL QB I heard)

7. Stayed away from "the big turnover" which everyone says he doesn't do.

8.Took some major shots to that side.

9. Put his team in position to score the entire game and didn't miss throws. The team didn't execute. Not like he missed open guys in the endzone.

Yeah....he played really well.
For sure though, the rookie came through in a big way. Very impressed with his composure.

Ill give credit when its due..I think Romo played a pretty solid game all things considered. It didnt show up in the stats, but he def was the main reason the Cowboys won that game last night.

I almost put that but being that the Jets were 0-0 and then the 49ers were 1-0 I figured it would get laughed at. lol.

 

[Mitchrapp]

You were right, lol.

 

[tycobb420]

Romo's season ends when he meets Suh.

 

[wolverine304]

Or does staffords season end when he meets ware lol.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Kitna vs Hill part deux?

 

[beez]

Mitch[/color]]Kitna vs Hill part deux?

Ugh....Tell you what.. let's just go 7-7, no lineman and call it a day. Raiola is all time snapper.

Ware doesn't show for the game. Lions roll.

giants get lucky on some BS made up rule then score on the next play and take the lead.

 

[mhughes0021]

giants with a lucky win by blown call by refs.

 

[Mitchrapp]

It wasn't a blown call but a rule I never heard of. Did look he fell so maybe it was a blown call.

Mitch[/color]]It wasn't a blown call but a rule I never heard of. Did look he fell so maybe it was a blown call.

wrong interpretation of the rule = blown call. you by rule "give yourself up" when you slide feet first. not when you stumble to the ground and then drop the ball when your not down by contact. Esp when the whistle wasnt blown yet.

That's for a QB but as a receiver I guess you can just go the ground to give yourself up, and you don't have to go feet first but fall on the belly. Nonetheless, he fell/slipped so it was a bad call. I agree there.

Let's not worry about the G-men. This is a Cowboy thread and Romo's biggest supporter on this board's got some 'splainin' to do. Now we know that the Lion's back seven are feared around the league. What say you?
