Schedule the rest of the year

3 road games and Indy at Home which is probably going to be a tougher game than any of the road games. Not going to be easy to get in the playoffs. Especially if we play like we did this week. That was our worst game of the year so far and came at a time when we a win could have been huge for us.

I for one am very concerned about Romo right now. He has played very poorly lately and I think it is the injuries. We need him to get healthy, but I don't know if he is going to get healthy this year at all. The guy is getting up there in age and has 3 back injuries and now the cold weather is coming. Any of you with back or neck problems knows how much worse it gets in the cold. All the more reason for him to finally learn to throw the damn ball away...

Just think if he throws the ball away vs the Giants we lose. He had 7 seconds. Too bad it takes our WRs that long to get open. He is so focused on making a at that it hurts us at times with a sack. But if he got in that habit of throwing it away we may not score vs the Giants at the end.

Playing really poor lately - lol. A bad half vs the Eagles. Wasn't he 9-12 the first half.

That pass against he Giants could have been a pick. 9-12? I don't know. I don't go by the stats as much as what I see. Completing a pass doesn't necessarily mean all that much in a vacuum. You think he played well in the first half?

Actually I thought he was fine. Missed Wit on 3rd down. The first drive perfect throw to DEz with a PI not called. So he missed one more throw- can't remember it off hand. Quick snap killed a drive. Beasley fumble killed the other.

It really didnt seem like Romo at all. Ive always thought he deserves much more respect then he has ever received and he is also having an excellent year this year but something wasnt right on THursday. His deep passes for the most part were all under thrown. The out to Witten seemed like a miscommunication. But the reason I always loved/respected Romo is he is just tremendous at keeping plays alive. 2 times in that game he just sat down and took the sack without being hit and he's never done that. It reminded me of Ron Jaworski circa 1981. Seems like he is hurt. Didnt seem like the typical Romo with the spin move and roll out to keep the play alive?? Maybe he's just being too tough and not admitting what he's battling.

I'll break it down for you the way i saw it.I know you said 9-12 so maybe I'm missing something because I had 8-11. Apologize in advance if I missed one.

I had 12 pass attempts.
One sack (not his fault)
3 incompletions including a brutal miss to a wide open Witten.
5 of his 8 completions were screens or passes that were a yard or less before the RAC.
2 5ish yard completions to Beasley
1 fantastic throw to Dez for a 38 yard gain. Absolutely perfect pass, perfect spiral, perfect touch.

Basically one throw in the first half that I would say I would put in your awesome category.

He must have hit his first pass of the second half because I remember seeing 9 for 12. I went back checked and it was8 for 11. You are saying brutal miss. As long as we are hanging on key words and every word- I will say it was a miss but the word miscommunication came up as well. Oh and I said he was fine the first half not awesome. I said he has played awesome for the year in another post. As far as screens and short passes- I would say he ran what was called especially the screens. The Beasley throws- ????- from what I've seen from 83- I would be throwing it to Beasley a lot more

As far as the schedule goes, it isn't pretty. The weather looks OK for next week right now. I think 32 degrees which is better than the 9 it was last yr. Still though we are playing a team that has given us fits the last 3 times. Cutler has played well vs us in the 2 he has played. Romo played well there in 07, but the last 3 times haven't been so good.

The Bears game will show me a lot about the Cowboys, even more than the Eagles game did. Coming back from tough losses show a lot about a team's character.

If we are going to be a playoff team we need to win the Bears game next week. No, it isn't a "must win" because with 3 games left and sitting on 8 wins we could still easily make the playoffs with a loss, but I think this team needs to win that game. After the beat down from Philly they get the edge and Indy gets the edge. So this one is big.

It's becoming clear to me that we need to blitz a little more on defense because we just can't cover well enough with the lack of pressure we are getting. The NFL of today depends on pressuring the QB and protecting your QB.

This might sound crazy, but I think we may need to consider benching Carr. He is just not a good corner anymore. Every where I look, Sterling Moore is getting higher coverage grades than Carr. This includes last year as well. Carr is hurting this team with his poor coverage. Against Marshall and Jeffrey, this could get ugly for Carr. I would rather see Moore start.

I agree

I doubt you'll get too many that will argue. Carr give up to many plays. He's most likely gone next season. Of course he'll play at PB level with his next team.

Who is our DB coach now?

It's looking like we are going to have to win 3 of 4 to even get in.

Henderson, but I'm not sure you can blame him for Carr. Blame the guys that put us in zone so much and refuse to blitz more and leave our weak spot exposed

oh I am not blaming him. Just realized I didn't know who it was, when I was thinking the DB coach will be able to tell the FO next year if Carr is worth keeping (at a reduced price) or not. I agree we need a pass rush something fierce, to help all our weak DBs.
Didn't we play more man to man earlier (you know when we were winning LOL)

The problem with cutting Carr is he costs you about the same to be here or not - the beauty of the restructures that so many say prove Stephen and Jerry are savvy about getting under the cap and i keep trying to explain are stupid, not smart. I think he is here next year and then cut in 2016

that's right. We have another year of a big hit from him on the cap. For some reason I was thinking this year was his last big hit on the cap. I guess he does stay. I wonder how he would do at safety?

Romotodez · Post #20 » by **Romotodez** » Mon Dec 1, 2014 2:58 am

He is a terrible tackler according to many.
