It's official... I'm off the Romo bandwagon. Can't wait until he's gone.

Nobody intentionally "struggles." But they DO intentionally play very conservatively so as to protect the ball more, and play more of a field position game when they have seen the other team has zero offensive capability.

Whereas if we had a healthy Romo and a respectable running game, they would be taking more chances and we would be getting some turnovers. Sort of like last year.
OK, how about some examples then... you know, like I've been asking for the past 3 pages.

2015 vs 2014. Totally different looking approaches by offenses, against us. For very good reason. This is from my own observation, never claimed it was anything other than that.

Although, I already conceded this could merely be a product of the two minute offenses naturally being more aggressive, and us going to the "prevent" dime package - which history shows really only "prevents" you from stopping two minute offenses. Of course you just ignored that post.

Defense still sucks though IMO.

Can't blame Romo for drinking the Cowboy Koolaid. He's known nothing else and pretty much has no other choice.

What's clear is the current staff can't win shit without him. He's a beast and has been poorly supported his entire career.

What other 2014 playoff team had a defense as horrific as the Cowboys? They still nearly defeat the Packers in Lambeau.

Where I'm down on Romo is his durability or lack thereof. Just can't keep his bones intact... not a good thing in your mid-late 30's

The sad part is that 400 yards is all the FO will remember when it comes time for FA and the draft. I believe his 400 yards technically was the best out of all four starting QB's this season including Romo

It almost assured a good hard look at being second string simply on that one game performance. At least that's how the FO will look at it

I can already see the press conference sometime during preseason next year

"We just felt that Moore showed us enough in that last game against Washington in 2015 to warrant making him the back up QB to Tony, we see something special in him"

I am willing to bet real money that will be out there almost word for word....

Yep
Garret must have a white board in his office of his "ok for the media" sayings that he just stares at all day and practices over and over

1 he played well enough to earn more playing time

2 we think he has the right tools to play the QB position well for us

3 we think he has something special

4 he will have the opportunity to compete for the position

5 he's the right kind of guy

6 he gets "it"

And on and on

I'm still stunned and yet numb to how Stephen Jones assessment of last seasons struggle was exemplified by the defense failing in the the Green Bay game which "led to a double digit point difference". It was 28-7. So somehow Dallas was supposed to win that game 7-0.

The other Red square propaganda is that the defense "didn't get turnovers". Forced fumbles yes, those are volitional but interceptions have a lot to do with chance. But the Liberty Bell that rings Stupid with such a statement about the turnovers is: what would the offense possibly do if they got the ball again? Three and out? FG? It isn't like the offense needed more chances to score because the games were 49-42. This team could not play offense. That was the sole issue. The winner of the game has the most points! And the 2007-2015 offenses, led by the perennial "we just need better execution in the red zone" Red Turd has never had the desperate necessity to get into the end zone at all costs.

PUNTS. Forced punts by the defense. Is that not a turnover? What is the difference between a fumble recovery, an INT, a turnover on downs, and a forced punt ALL BY THE DEFENSE? Do they not all accomplish the same thing, which is to prevent the opposing offense from scoring and getting the ball back for your offense?

The defense forced 6 punts in that game, and what was the net result?

If the defense got 6 INTs or 6 fumble recoveries, but the offense fails to capitalize on any of those... how are those 6 INTs and forced fumbles any different from the 6 forced punts?

And like how you said that fumbles are volitional, how even moreso in forcing a team to punt?

So when Garrett states that the defense didn't get any turnovers, he's full of shit. Those 6 forced punts in that game were the turnovers.
