Dallas @ Washington

[Bullaholic]

Can the Cowboys beat the Redskins at home in the opener?
I say Cowboys by 10 because they will be fired up to perform and Washington is still trying to figure things out. If the Cowboys are flat in this one and lose badly, there will be a media firestorm in Dallas.

[SintonFan_inAustin]

1-0 after tonight for the Cowboys

If there is ever a game to be fired up for a division rival on opening day should be at the top of the list. Let's hope the coaches have them ready and fired up

[Txbroadcaster]

I think Dallas wins..something like 24-10..close until late.

Now if they do lose..I dont think the team lets the media bother them..they went thru the firestorm last year after losing to the Giants in home opener, losing to Broncos and their 0-2 startin December..each toime they bounced back

Redskins by 14

I believe it.. The cowgirls look weak this year

[D4C]

cowboys win by a touchdown, the offensive coordinator needs to RUN the ball at the goal line, and the D needs to step up but still Washington on paper is a pretty good team, should be a good game

Our run defense is definately better, the pass defense is still questionable.
Vick dont pass the ball well, so yea I guess I'm just dilusional.
TD GREEN BAY....made it look easy!

Almost beat everyone's pick to go to the super bowl despite 4 starters leaving the game to injury.. Did you not get to see the game?

[TheDOCTORdre]

Green Bay is over rated, if Vick starts then its a totally different game, saw flashes of his Atlanta days and it looks good. Philly would be smart to keep Vick at the helm IMO

Nope, NFL Sunday Ticket costs too much to watch the 2nd tier teams play...although GB may have been worth the time.

How many sacks will Dallas D have on McNabb tonight?

just fall down you are not going to break a tackle a run for 70 yards

[STANG RED]

gotta put that stuped bs square on romo's shoulders. he should have just chunked it out of bounds, or just took a knee.:mad:

yeah choice should have held on to it but that was a stupid play call. Why even run a play?

hard to blame him for his 4th string running backs fumble

[Bullaholic]

Wow--what a thrilling first half. Very apparent the Cowboys cannot run their entire offense because of the weak "O" line. They better come up with some answers in the 2nd half. Quick outs and dinks hoping for a missed tackle are not going to get the job done without a working vertical game. Silly last play call.

I like what Collinsworth said..Dallas is so worried about O-line, at some point they have to just run their plays and the O line has to block

[coach]

im tired of seeing a drive come to a complete hault after stupid penalties

You got my vote, TXB---PLAY the game and quit thinking and worrying about it so dang much...

[Phil C]

Dallas has blown it again as usual and it started when they fired Jimmy Johnson. They had time to get ready to make a run to host the super bowl in their own city but they have blown it.

If romo hadnt put it in that 4th string running backs hands in the first place, the fumble would have never happened.

its sad that Washington using 2 time outs early in the 2nd half is a highlight for Cowboy fans:(

[CHS_89]

Cowboys are still in preseason mode. We couldn't score in preseason, and still can't. I think Dallas is in for a very long and frustrating season.

Somebody want to tell me now that Preseason doesn't matter??????

Good execution all the way! Thank God Garrett didn't call a receiver screen.........:D

[charlesrixey]

man i hate the redskins!

reminds of the fall i got to DC (07) and had the pleasure of listening to all of the post-game analysis when the Patriots beat the redskins 52-7. that was a fun week

[charlesrixey]

that's our boy Romo---playing just well enough to win, but not good enough for us to enjoy the win

[sinton66]

Woo-Hoo, thank God for defense.

[skins4life]

Has Whitten been covered up all night??

[Txbroadcaster]

once again..penalties killing Dallas more than opponent

[Bullaholic]

Cowboys get rid of the 2nd most penalized player in the league and pick-up the 1st. I know thre are few good "O" linemen available, but surely there are some better younger players than #71.

[Farmersfan]

Did Dez return punts in college?????
Seems pretty stupid to risk one of your stud recievers for minimal gain.

The play calling has regressed from bad to little league

Maybe next Dallas possession Garrett will faint and somebody else will have to call the plays.

Time for a turnover...

That pass hit nearly James in the belly

This is bad, bad loss for the Cowboys. The Redskins are NOT that good and right now I don't see much fire in the defense. Perhaps the defense is FINALLY tired of holding the opponents to the 2nd fewest points in the NFL and still losing!

they re pro s the first game of the season doesn't mean jack to them and if they clinch a spot later in the season...the last one or two won't mean jack to them.

what gets me the most is scoring seven stinking points.

But it wouldn't have been possible if they just took a knee. DUMB ass call. Nothing positive could have happened on that play call. There was no way they were going to score on it, and that's the ONLY reason it should EVER be called in that situation.

Naw, that was to 66 that it wasnt a handoff and romo got pressured and stepped up in the pocket and all he saw was choice about 5 yards to his right and just basically pitched it to him

[slpybear the bullfan]

This game tonight reminds me again why I love college ball and get a little less in love with the NFL each passing year.

The Boys looked disinterested... And the coaches looked unprepared. Wade says the play before half was supposed to be called off after the penalty... But word did't get to the field. They have radios in the helmets! Sheesh...

The line is the reason this team goes 8-8. Jimmy wouldn't have even let Barron or Choice fly home with the team.

[sinton66]

Originally posted by NastySlot

Doesn't matter.either way it was stupid play call on Garrett's part. I did see one positive in this. I like what I saw from Dez Bryant in a two minute offense.

[coach]

the play before half was not a dumb call...choice was a safety man...i dont like kneeling bc what happens if they grab his facemask or a PA? its a free play. the dump pass was not a called play it was just in case romo gets into trouble. now when you know you are getting hit in that situation fall down. thats all i ask. i thought the boys played a solid game. take away the penalties and they win easily. remember we missed a chip shot field goal which changes the game drastically and romo had a helluva game. he continues to grow before our eyes. now we gotta take it to the bears and be 2-1 before our bye.

I disagree. The announcers disagreed. Sometimes you have to play smart. Smart would have been to kneel it and go in down 3 points.

Romo was scrambling and dumped the ball to Choice who got hit by Hall, who stripped the ball then picked it up and ran it into the end-zone.

Again, Wade said in the PG interview, the play was supposed to be cancelled and Tony was supposed to kneel. But no one got the word to Tony.

I fear a long season with this line.

I have to say as someone that spent a year coaching..those type of things do happen more than alot of people think..not making it excusable in anyway just saying communication mistakes happen more often thn not

did anybody else like the 3 runningback formation with the option play they ran in the secon dhalf?

I don't know about all the 'Boys fans, but that formation scared the crap out of me. If they would have run that play again, I think it would have picked up big yardage. :eek: :eek:

This game tonight reminds me again why I love college ball and get a little less in love with the NFL each passing year.

The Boys looked disinterested... And the coaches looked unprepared. Wade says the play before half was supposed to be called off after the penalty... But word did't get to the field. They have radios in the helmets! Sheesh...

The line is the reason this team goes 8-8. Jimmy wouldn't have even let Barron or Choice fly home with the team.





Amazing! Simply amazing!

The line did fine considering 2 starters were out. The Redskins (winning team) played with a much worst line and McNabb was under a hell of a lot more pressure than Romo was! McNabb actually did what a good QB should do and made some plays even when under duress! The Cowboys rushed for 4.7 yards per attempt and passed for 277 yards which ranks them #4 in the NFL for week #1. The problem is exactly the same problem they had last year. THEY CAN"T SCORE!!!! 7 points on offense has them ranked #27 in the NFL. They commit penalties at the worst possible times! They call very bad plays at the worst possible times! And they FAIL to execute at the worst possible times!
Washington's defense is ranked #25 and their offense is ranked #24 after week #1 after a game that they WON! McNabb had a QB rating of 63 and only managed to get his team into FG distance twice and scored 6 points and WON! Washingtons RBs rushed for just 89 yards in a game they WON! At some point the team must get it done consistently! Not sporadic glimpses of brilliance! Just good ole' consistent execution down the field and into the endzone! And this is were I think the Cowboys are missing something now and have for a few years. Everyone knows where I think the missing intensity comes from but ya'll have to make up your own minds.

yea I agree...I was just thinking man you have got to Blame Romo for the holding penalties, the blocking in the back penalties that killed drives....Oh yea got to blame Romo for the lack of running game as well....and wait..dont forget to blame Romo for the not so great special teams play...also we have GOT to blame Romo for letting Columbo and Kosier get hurt in pre season

All I can say is I am thankful that guy held...If not Dallas would still be in DC today trying to dig Romo out of the ground. That was a complete lack of footwork, how he got into the NFL as an O lineman is beyond me.

I'm not so sure...Romo was looking that way and ducked after he was freed from the hold. Maybe Romo does get sacked, or maybe he makes the elusive move earlier...we'll never know.

And you just can't stand it can you? I never once blamed Romo for any of those specific things and you know it! Do I think Romo has a huge blame for this team's attitude? Yes I do! Do I think Romo has a huge blame for this teams lack of intensity? YES I DO!!! And so does anyone else with even a small inkling of football understanding. A lack of team intensity and attitude is why these kinds of failures happen. Your team leaders are the ones that create a winning attitude and a desire to be successful!
Here is the difference in our perspectives:
You watch the final drive of last nights game and see a holding by a 0-lneman that cost the Cowboys the game. I watch that final drive and I see Romo throw a pass to a WIDE OPEN Austin that if it is a good pass Austin runs into the endzone untouched. (Romo mistake #1) GOOD PLAY OR BAD PLAY? I also see Romo miss a open Ogeltree in the endzone by overthrowing him by 5 yards right after Romo panics and throws the ball out the back of the endzone before he ever gets close to any pressure from the defense! (Romo mistake #2 & #3).
From my count that would be Romo 3 mistakes and the O-lineman 1 mistake on that final drive!!!!! I do understand nobody is perfect but EVERYBODY pretty much doomed the O-lineman to being cut today for making a mistake during the ONLY good play from Romo in like the last 5 attempts. Just ONE good play from Romo on one of the other 5 attempts and we are talking about a Cowboys win today! Not all Romo's fault but certainly Romo's responsibility!

You spent a year coaching in the NFL???? I would think by the time a player reaches the PROS they should understand how to play the game!
And that play wasn't a "CALLED" play. Choice is Romo's saftey valve on that play every time they run it! Romo has to decide if it's wise to actually use him or not. 4 seconds left in the game would have been a great time to throw the ball 60 yards down the field if someone was open but maybe not so good a time to flip the ball to the safety valve. But then again I think it's better for Choice to get tackled than for Romo to keep it himself.... Choice just has to hang onto the ball and go to the ground.

Somebody is open on every play in pro football, Farmer. Finding him a high % of the time in 3 secs while running for your life, and hardly ever being able to get your feet set, requires considerable effort. Romo makes his share of the mistakes---just not as many as you want everyone to believe.

ur little subtle digs at anyone that disagrees with you is sad. You pretend like you want to debate but when someone disagrees you like to basically call them stupid.

But lets go ahead and play your game

First "mistake" to Austin..lets see it is 4th down and he sees that Austin is wide open on a blown coverage..he does what he has to and gets the ball to him. Would Austin have scored with a better throw..I dont know..but on a 4th down they converted.

On mistake 2 and 3 as you call it..I dont remember a wide open Ogletree lol..but you think he was so ok

the fact is Romo DID throw the game winning TD after driving the team for the win..PERIOD..you CANNOT argue that, if you do then your showing you honestly have such an obsessionto want to blame Romo for everything that ur never able to see the other side of the debate.

the simple fact your trying as hard as you can to find Romo mistakes shows you just for whatever reason have decided he is not good enough. I like what Collinsworth said last night...Romo proved he is a top 5 QB with that drive, it is not his fault that Barron killed the play of the week with a hold...but again you will not and have not given any kind of credit to Romo

And I know u will try to turn this around and say I stick up for Romo..which I dont..if he has a bad game I say he has a bad game...you can NEVER say he has a good game.

So I ask once agian..either debate me without subtle immature name calling or dont debate.

Sorry, but I disagree.

The line played well in spurts. The Cowboys seemed to run the ball well, but Garrett was determined to throw the ball. Romo was pretty much running for his life almost every passing down. I think he does that well, but you cannot be effective in the air game when you throw in less than 3 seconds every play.

The line is old. The odds are high that they will not be healthy. And last night you see what you get with a patchwork line.

I stand by my 8-8 prediction.

Even the BEST QB in the NFL is only successful about 60% of the time when throwing the ball. But don't be fooled into thinking the 40% failures aren't mistakes! They are either misreads, misthrows or dropped passes! The success of a good QB comes when those mistakes don't happen at the wrong times. Almost all great or even good QB's get better in the Red Zone. Care to tell everyone what happens to Romo's QB rating in the Red Zone?

He can't help it if someone holds

1. Farmer, any incomplete pass is considered to be somebody's mistake. No fooling me there.

2. Know of any player who can pick or control when, or if, he will be successful in a situation ?

3. Thank you for the football 101 primer. Football is a team game and indivdual player successes or failures are controlled by multiple factors, including luck, but they depend directly on the inter-actions of 21 other guys on every play.

My little subtle digs at you are just the result of your constant statements that my opinions are based on hatred for Romo. If you want to debate we can debate but it's all been discussed a thousand times before. Besides, how can one prove intangibles and attitude? You hold all the cards because in the overall scheme of things the Cowboys are a successful team in the NFL these days. I assert they are not near as successful as they should be but how can that be proven? Romo has proven over the last several years that he can win in the NFL and his record shows it! So how can I prove that he is actually underachieveing with one of the most talented teams in the NFL? A 11-5 record and a complete beatdown from the Vikings in the second round for this team is a complete and utter failure in my books but you look at it as a success! I expect more based on what I know to be a team more capable. You accept the limited success! And I repeat for the millionth time: Romo earned my opinion of him just like he earned his rep around the league and around the country. People don't just start hating for the sake of hating! Romo is probably the most contraversial Cowboys since Hollywood Henderson! And NOBODY can claim there isn't a problem with this team. Eventually JJ will put enough talent around Romo that he might actually win the big one! My point is that the talent has been there for a couple of years and Romo hasn't gotten it done. So if you stop jabbing me, I'll stop jabbing you!!!
Deal?

If something works, keep doing it until they stop you. Our running game looked really solid, but once again we seem to get pass happy way too often.

[Farmersfan]

I want to apoligize to everyone if it seems I am picking on Romo all the time! I know he can't win games by himself and it takes a complete team effort! My only reason for mentioning his performance last night in the final 30 seconds was because so many people were blaming the loss on Alex Barron! Of course it would have been great if he had not held and bringing back a touchdown because of a hold is terrible and likely will cost him his career in Dallas. But the fact still remains that there were about 60 other plays in the game that also didn't score and some were just as unforgiveable as the hold! Regardless of who's fault you think it is for Romo throwing 3 straight incomplete passes from the Red Zone in the last 4 attempts the fact still remains he threw 3 straight incomplete passes in the last 4 attempts in the Red Zone. Barron holding on his only good pass doesn't change the fact that he failed on the other 3! The QB is the ONLY player on the field that touches the ball on every single snap. He is also the ONLY player on the field that has 30+ opportunities to score points in a game. So I put way more responsibility on him! Sorry but that's just my logic!

It also seemed like Garrett was bound and determined to get Dez into the game! They should let his involvement come natural instead of trying to force it...

Farmer! You apologize for always blaming Romo for Cowboy losses and then proceed to harang him again and again in the very next sentence---that is what we don't understand. Far be it from me to ever tell another poster how and what to post, but how about some Cowboy discussion that is not Romo-centric? You love the game, and I think you are a loyal Cowboy fan---use some of that insight and knowledge for a balanced discussion perspective, which certainly can include some negative Romo comments, and I will be among the first to carry on a Cowboy discourse with you.

Well, I am a big Cowboy fan and I am really getting tired of their unpredictability. They are a team loaded with individual talent so WTH?! I think I need to start consulting a Magic 8 ball before I watch a game.

Grrrr....plus I am tired since watching it made me not able to sleep last night.:dispntd:

It is comments like these I honestly cannot understand...Football is not a 100% success/fail rate. Are you telling me that if Barron does not hold and Romo makes the play to win the game your going to say well yea he made the play..BUT he failed the 3 other times before!!!.

That is why I ask about a hatred of Romo from you..you seem to hold him up to a perfection level that he must be 100% or he fails. You have not once in the time you and I have started this debate said Romo had a good game, or Romo played well. You expect the success then are quick to point out the mistakes, even if those mistakes are Romo's or not.

[TheDOCTORdre]

the problem with Dallas yesterday is similar to the problem UT had in the 1st half of the NC game against Bama-over thinking in coaching strategy...eventually you just have to play the game for what it is. Just like Mack Brown and UT staff tried to call it "safe" for Gilbert when Colt went out, Jason Garrett and crew tried to play it "safe" with the line injuries and it didnt work out

And it is comments like these that I honestly cannot understand TX! I have said hundreds of times that Romo sometimes plays well. In fact I can guarantee that I have given Romo more credit than you have given him blame! But I also have said that Romo (and any QB) has by far the most opportunity to score on a football team. Nobody is perfect and nobody expects a QB to be perfect! But apparently EVERYBODY expects receivers, 0-linemen, RBs, and all other players on the team to be perfect. Choice gets perhaps 10 chances for success last night and he makes one mistake and 9 other positive yardage plays and he's a scape goat today. The lineman Barron played 60 plays and he performed his job successfully (to some extend) perhaps 50 of those times and yet he's a scape goat today! That's 90% success for Choice and 84% success for Barron. Romo (and any QB) has success about 60% of the time and they get a pass on a bad game like last night. Barron did hold the defender and screwed up a great play, great pass and great effort from everyone but it didn't cost them the game. Like I said before, if Romo simply completes ONE MORE pass in the endzone the previous 4 tries Barron doesn't get a chance to hold!
And my "Habit" of always knocking Romo is something I will work on! But in all fairness, Romosexuals have heard all these arguements about Romo for years and are just as quick to respond to any criticism of him! The bottom line is that in my opinion every single position on this team has been addressed over the last several years except 1. Yet things are still frusterating and underachieving with this team.

Romo can't complete passes when the receivers are heavily covered. He knew he couldn't take a sack and instead of forcing it threw it out of the back of the endzone. They had a time out, they should have had at least one short route to try and get the ball closer so not all the attempts were into the endzone. It's near impossible to complete a pass in a 10 yard zone from that far out unless the WR is WIDE OPEN like Roy Williams was.

Well if we want to play the what if game like that.if Barron does not hold on a earlier drive on a play where Romo completes a 15 yd pass..or Bennett does not block in the back on a 15 yd pass play as Dallas is getting into a groove and at the Redskin 40 then none of it happens.

You act like on those 4 passes WR were wide open and Romo missed them badly.

On that drive Romo did what a top 5 QB is supposed..he moved his team down the field and made the play to win the game simple as that. YOU still are trying to discredit. Your trying to still say well Romo is at fault cause he did not throw a td on one of the plays Barron did not hold lol.

You talk about the well it was one play Barron and Choice did that cost us

So would you say the same thing if Romo was 8 of 9 on final drive but the last pass is intercepted? Would you be then saying well yea it was bad but hey the 4 passes before were completed

And I dont care if you bash Romo, just bring stats or actual reasons, and I am sorry but saying Romo is at fault for not completeing one of the passes before Barron held IMO is not a valid reason

[JJWalker]

Romo is good ... just not as great as he thinks he is.

IMO ... Dallas lost that game because of Romo. Plain and simple.

Romo was responsible for only one of many Dallas penalties that utterly ****** them out of this game: Delay of Game. Do you ask Drew Brees or Peyton Manning to complete all their passes, make every tackle, pre-emptively prevent every penalty, catch every pass they throw, and call the plays in from the sideline? Nope. They can't do it, so why would you expect Romo to do all of this? Romo haters absolutely crack me up. The guy works his *** off and still has fun out there, and led his team to what should have been the game winning touchdown with no time left on the clock. That is what you expect of any top quarterback. Who gives a crap if he dates gorgeous women? Yep, Romo haters.:doh:

If those are your reasons for blaming Romo, there are 52 other names on the roster who those reasons apply to equally.

Romo lost when his defense didn't give up a TD.

And a myriad of even better reasons ... especially ... the one where Romo acts like a bonehead with the football at times.


this doesn't even make sense

ROTFLMAO!!!!:D :D :D At all of the COWBOY fans. Admit it ya'll aren't just mad cause they lost. You're mad cause it was to the REDSKINS. LOL I don't blame any of you. That's the way it's supposed to be if you're a true fan. I'd be the same way if my REDSKINS had lost.

Dallas lost. I'm over it. Got to get ready for the Bears now because it's my first Cowboys game and I refuse to sit through a loss.

I'm not even mad honestly. I almost expected it. I thought that it would go something like that but that Dallas would pull out the victory at the end. Still doesn't change my outlook and expectations for an 11-5 season one bit.

It's truly sad that the Cowboys have established a culture where their fans expect the most talented team in the league to play games like this! Do you think Jerry's interference in the team has created a atmosphere of indifference in the players? Could the lack of intensity be a result of Jerry's own ego? I personally think Philips has a bigger impact on this team than Jerry does but others certainly disagree. What do you think?

YOU believe they are the most talented team..not everyone does. For every preseason prediction that has Dallas in the SB, another has them not making the play offs. ..Why? because as talented as Dallas is..they have glaring holes that can derail the season..we saw that in one game alone.

Take a look around the league...Strange week 1. Alot of teams lost on the road that were not supposed to.

Lets see how they play this week and next week( one should be a win, the other on the road gonna be tough)

We will then see if this is a hiccup game or a trend. I honestly think it could go either way

I don't expect any team to go 16-0. Almost every team in the entire league puts up one or two stinkers every year. How'd the Colts do in December last year against the Jets? They took the entire second half off, and almost ended up missing the Super Bowl when that same team came calling again in the AFC Championship.

I had Dallas at 11-5 before the season, and I still have them there. And I predicted them to win the Super Bowl.

One week does not define a season. For as bad as Dallas may have looked on Sunday night, at least three other legitimate Super Bowl contenders looked even worse...see the Colts, Jets, and Chargers.
