What the fuck is the ring of honor even about, if Billy Bates doesn't qualify? This is nuts!

A few less turnovers here and there and this team was 11-5, as I have already pointed out. You guys are arguing that Dallas - for no real reason - played 20 DLs, four LBs and four DBs who weren't on the roster on week one? It wasn't injuries driving that?

I can't freaking believe there are people in existence who don't think Bill Bates should be in the Cowboys Ring of Honor. A undrafted free agent, Bates was too small and too slow and was a long shot to make the team but his heart and hustle earned him a roster spot on the team and a place in...

If he doesn't I don't know who the hell does!

He's not THE embodiment of the Cowboys? Highly honorable man off the field, huge overachiever on the field. Teams used to scout for him on special teams, drilling specifically to stop him on kick coverage. Double teaming, everything else. They created a special teams specialist position in the...

It was a finger on the collar of the jersey, otherwise Pearson takes it to the house. That's what made the fumble which came next, so very bad. What? You guys don't think Bill Bates should be in the RoH?

Once again not one mention at all of the injury situation last year and having to play guys off the street, 20 DL who weren't on the week one roster, and so on.

When you see something every week, it stops being special. In the 1970s, there were five 400-yard passing games for the entire decade. When Joe Namath topped 400 passing yards, he had done something really great. When Eli Manning went for 450 in a loss to the Cowboys, it sure didn’t feel like a...

It was TWO pick sixes. Had help from Romo turnovers and a abysmal 3/13 on third down. Every game you name where the "team" loses the game has the same things - terrible 3rd down conversion rate and at least one turnover. You expect defenses with today's restraining rules to just stop them over...

Really? In this age of parity, and the rules we have yeah, most of the time it does.

Because he somehow "deserves" it? After many years of having a offense tailored just for him, every year it's got to be more "Romo Friendly," you think some other team is going to do that? The 50 million guaranteed money from his last contract is his Lombardi. He's a guy who has done very well...

This I can still agree with.

Yep and probably before Bill Bates, whose total RoH snub is completely criminal.

That's perfectly understandable, since it happens so often. Because he is the face of the franchise. And no doubt he will also reap most of the credit for future success, as he does now. Like I said earlier, there's never anyone ever, saying the opposing defense sucks because Romo hung a 400...

I doubt anyone would. But the entire Romo debate goes away, because he got the ring and the hardware. It's not like this is Dan Marino or anything. Dude never got the ring or the hardware either but at least he won playoff games, conference championship, and got to play for a ring. And was a...

Did you ever stop to think the coaching was bad, because they kept Romo around? As in, simply didn't know any better?

If Troy had the same players, same defensive rules, everything else the same as if you could teleport the 25 year old Aikman into today's team, he would tear the league up. Might not be able to get better than 8-8 out of the season, but then again might actually be able to do so. Troy is a...

Yep especially when the offense has been tailored to be "Romo Friendly" for what, the last four years at least? At the cost of the defense? And when is the last time the special teams made a fucking play and helped us out some?

My thought exactly.

Hell, today you can't even sneeze on the QB or even give him a dirty look without drawing a flag, I think Troy with his skillset and with Romo's exact team would tear this league up today. I do.
