Being a Cowboy fan for as long as I can remember, I flat out do not see light at the end of this long tunnel that our December woes will end this December. The game yesterday made me flat out sick to my stomach to watch. To control the ball for almost 40 minutes in the game and to look up and see that we lost the game by 7 just does not make any sense to me. The turning point of the game for me where I knew that Dallas was not going to win the game came in the 2nd quarter when Barber fumbled the ball in Giants territory and the Giants then scored the touchdown to go up 14-10 and then Dallas had the opportunity to bring it to a 1 point game and Folk missed again. I am stunned to see that Folk has missed now 8 field goals this year. He is not money and maybe we need to think about using the rookie Buehler. Leaving points on the field like that is not going to do us any favors in these last 4 games. Of all the playoff contenders we have the toughest schedule by far. We play the Redskins, Chargers and Eagles at home, but play the Saints on the road. None of those teams right now look easy and the way we looked yesterday winnable.
How do you double your opponent’s amount of time of procession, win turnovers and still lose the game. Well I’m flabbergasted myself. One big reason in my opinion is that Dallas players are more concerned with being flashy and being the star they have on their helmet then in winning. You have a prim Dona quarterback who dates every big blond star that single. Roy Williams who I really just can’t stand he is worse than T.O. He not only doesn’t catch the ball when thrown to him on his hands but he showboats on every catch he does make. If we are losing by 2 touchdowns and he scores he will still have to try and put on a show or even if he gets a first down he has to showboat. Its like only about him and he doesn’t care if we are losing as long as he gets a catch. Same with Barber yesterday on a 2 yard gain he is out there pumping his chest like he just won the Superbowl. STOP it and take care of business. The past 3 years under Tony Romo the Cowboys are a combined 5-11 in the month of December. Celebrate after the month to see if we make the playoff s and see if we can get a playoff win. It has been very painful to not have a playoff win in 13 going almost on 14 years. The last time they won a playoff game I was in middle school.
But I’m not taking anything away from the New York Giants they flat out beat us and made the big plays to win the game. Dallas defense gave up the 74 yard run to Brandon Jacobs, Hixon ran a punt back untouched for 79 yards and they got a fumble recovery on their defense. Dallas just needs to take long hard look in the mirror and figure out if they want to be a contender or a pretender. This game was a painful loss. And we can not put any blame on Tony Romo. He ran the plays that were called and placed balls where only his receivers could catch. He went 41-55 for 392 yards with 3 touchdowns. He did not make Romo type mistakes when the Giants defense continued to rush him. He and Witten were on a mission. Witten passed Drew Pearson for 2nd all time Cowboys receptions list. I think the blame for the Cowboys offense stalling was the play calling in the 2nd half. We totally deciding to go away form the run and only ran the ball 23 times, while passing it 55 times. That my friends is not going to win games in December and I wish that the media would start taking a stronger look at Jason Garrett’s play calling. He is inconsistent and just panics when the game is on the line and I think this is where for the longest time Romo got the panics with games on the line. Garrett couldn’t hack it with games on the line when he played except for the Thanksgiving game, way back when so why expect it when he is the coordinator. I just wish Jerry would fire him so this is my plug for him to be canned ASAP if we dont make the playoffs. And unless he can turn it around the Dallas offense will continue to struggle and Dallas will continue to lose big games in December.
