What. The. Hell. Was. That?

My shouting closely paralleled that.

[Smitty]

Don't blame Parcells. Open up the play book? With what, a quarterback skipping the ball to his receivers and happy-feeting his way all over the field?

This one is on the players, who could not make the big plays when they really needed them time after time. Terry Glenn. Romo. Owens. Romo. Whitten (fumble). Romo. Roy Williams (freakin' cover somebody, you stiff). AND ROMO. He couldn't do any better than that against a patch-work secondary? And then the field goal...

I have rarely seen a group of players gift wrap a game as badly as that.

That... was.... amazing.

What coaching are you really questioning, though? MAYBE going for the TD, okay, but even Madden was saying you kick it, you kick it... Parcells was agressive enough to throw for it on 3rd, and came a reversed Jason Witten shoulder lean from winning the damn thing. Come on. Give me a f%$@&n break.

Glenn fumbles inside the 2. Romo drops a freaking snap. We come a half yard and a reversal from kneeling on it. Fluky S happens.

amen. period. end of story.

I hate to say it, but thank God this pathetic freakin' season is over. I can't stand to look at these guys anymore.

Yes, I know I'm knee-jerking and overreacting. Wouldn't you?

I kept yelling at Romo to tuck it and run. On several of his pressures he had lanes to go for at least 5-7 yards instead of dishing out the terrible passes he made on the run. After all the bounce passing I was ready to give the call for the veteran.

And YES, Roy "Toast" needs some speed!

[good_ken]

Everyone needs to start praying that they officially convert Roy Williams to a linebacker....so that we can draft a safety who can cover.

And why does Flozell have a penalty in every game?

[Smitty]

IF you can get add a pass rusher, then Roy Williams might be useful. But on a defense that can put no pressure on a quarterback, Williams is a liability.

[e-bone ver2.awesome]

Of all the problems this team has, Roy Williams is not very high on the list. He has a spare sitting across from him at the other safety spot and never gets a chance to play the way he can and should since our pass rush is absolutely pathetic. People need to be demanding we do something about the pass rush long before they start bad mouthing Roy Williams. But that is the popular thing to do right now, I guess.

I just can't accept a DB getting beaten by a TE.

The shooting star that is Tony Romo has just been sighted at the end of a meteoric season:

BUMP.

Yes the pass rush is bad, the offensive line stinks, and we need another corner. But Roy Williams is a prime reason that this team has given up so many third-down conversions this year. No one fears going across the middle anymore.

I think Romo will be all right. I think he just got a little to "full of himself" this season. He was playing great, and then started getting caught up in all the Jessica Simpson rumors...and then started dating Carrie Underwood. I think he lost his focus. For football anyway.

I think he'll bounce back just fine next year, and still believe he's the best QB prospect that we've had in some time.

As for Parcells, I hope he hangs it up.

[Coach]

I thought when Stevens scored, the Cowboys ran cover 2? I know a little about it, but have never coached it, so I don't know what the breakdown was.

He isn't as bad as everyone makes him out to be, but he would be better suited in another coverage, having the flats or hook to curl. If that means he is considered a linebacker, so be it, maybe run a lot of cover 3, with the two cbs and the fs deep, roy rolling to the strong side flats. I don't know how much cover 3 NFL teams run, but if they don't get a pass rush, they could have Deion and Night Train Lane in their prime at the corners and they would look bad.

I also can't blame Parcells for this. Glenn's fumble and Romo's bobbled snap are backbreakers. You can't do that on the road in the playoffs. The funny thing is, had Witten taken one more step up the field before he was tackled, or Babineaux doesn't make a great tackle on Romo after the bobble, this thread wouldn't be here.

[Coach]

Actually I just saw the TD again on NFL Primetime and it looks like the Cowboys were running the "Tampa" cover 2. Williams is coming over to help from the left side of the field, but you see Bradie James trailing Stevens. A lot of NFL teams like to run this coverage, and drop the MLB down the middle. James got beat. I remember the Cowboys ran this once in the Campo days and Ngyuen got burned, and I didn't understand why you would put your MLB in that position.

[e-bone ver2.awesome]

I just can't accept a DB getting beaten by a TE.

Bradie James is #56, Roy Williams is #33.

[FirefightnRick]

I blame parcells on the conservative play calling and not attacking a patchwork secondary. Have y'all forgotten how many stupid games Dallas has lost the past two years due to not being able to get into the endzone? We lost at least 3 games, maybe more last season because the kicker simply missed. How many did we lose this year on a field goal going bad? What does that tell you?

STOP RELYING ON TRYING TO KEEP IT CLOSE AND WINNING IT AT THE END!

Running on 2nd, 3rd and 4th downs inside the 5 against Philly was bad enough. Tonight we did it again and settle for a field goal early in the third. Then we finally have a shot to put them away with a 1st and 10 at the eleven and we run it twice, putting us in a 3rd and long situation. In today's game that crap gets you beat.

At 1st and 10 from the 11, after all the failed field goals the past 12 months, and since it's been 10 years since your team has won a playoff game, and knowing that since our defense hasn't stopped anyone the past 5 weeks when it counted and that a field goal only puts you up by TWO with over a minute and a half left, and your ON THE ROAD, IN THE PLAYOFFS!,,,,OUR IDIOT, CONSERVATIVE, "I STILL DRIVE A PACKARD" LOOKING, FALSE TEETH TALKING CONSERVATIVE HEAD COACH ELECTS TO AGAIN SET UP FOR A KICK?

Sickening.

I have said it once, and I will say it again, we will never win the super bowl as long as Terrell Owens is on the team. He causes too much trouble. This season, he caused the trouble, and on top of that dropped 10+ passes. It just doesn't make sense to have him on the team, We should have just kept Keyshawn.

[e-bone ver2.awesome]

Parcells has a lot of blame on his shoulders, but they threw on the 3rd down that came up a foot short of the first down rather than just running the ball to burn time off the clock. That is not conservative play calling at all. And there wasn't over a minute and a half left. There was 1:14 left, then with the squib kick it would have been under 1:10 with no time outs. If you can't stop someone with that much time and no time outs, then you deserve to lose. And with Hassellbeck getting to stand back for 5 seconds and find the open guy, they might have been able to do it. But the playcalling at the end was not conservative with the pass on 3rd down. If that had been incomplete then, yes, the Seahawks would have had another 30+ seconds to work with.

Of course, this is all pretending that Romo doesn't botch the hold.

I disagree. But if like you say that running on 1st and 2nd down, getting into a 3rd and long and then throwing on 3rd, all starting from the 11 was not conservative, then explain the other situations. The last scoring opportunity in which we go up 20-13 with the field goal? What about the 2nd and goal from the 2 against Philly? You have that much talent at reciever and you can't hit someone in the slot from the 2 in the endzone on 2nd, 3rd, 4th down?

Last year he tried to run the clock out in both Redskin games, while settling for field goals and it bit him on the ass. Same thing this year. It's a pattern, and it sucks. It sucked with Dickey, and it sucks now after 4 years with Parcells.

Roy Williams (freakin' cover somebody, you stiff).

He can't. Plain and simple....that guy can't cover anyone. Romo choked.

Grego made a great point tonight - besides the fact that this team played like Pig Puke in the last 5 games and tonight, TO is like ARod.....he puts up numbers but DOES NOTHING in the clutch.....do us a favor Jerry - cut him.

Exactly what would be the clutch? Throwing to him 4 times on the road against a pitifully beat up secondary, one in which is having to play a guy Dallas cut three years ago, who hasn't played in 3 seasons and has been working as a loan officer in Dallas until last friday, all of it coming down to 4 throws in the playoffs? That's giving your $25 Million reciever an opportunity to play in the clutch?

[Coach]

Rick, the Cowboys lost, so that means nobody is reequired to put any thought into thier scapegoats, and it is perfectly OK to go with the predetermined scapegoats (TO, Williams, Jerry Jones). Somehow, Terry Glenn will come through unscathed and some much less responsible for the loss will get roasted on fansites, radio shows, and newspapers everywhere.
