Same ol' Boys

The Dallas Cowboys have once again proved that they are good enough to lose in dramatic fashion. In a scenario that has been very familiar in the past few years, the Cowboys once again shriveled in the moment and blew a game that easily should  have been theirs. They make Lebron James look as clutch as MJ with their frightened school-girl cloak that they put on every 4^th quarter.

Tom Brady is a bag of horse-shit, but a bag of horse-shit that wins. The Cowboys are like the fuck-child of a bag of horse-shit and a bag of dog-shit. They reek of folding-chair syndrome. Ever since the fired Wade Phillips, Jason Garrett has tried to change the mentality and toughness level of the team. Their defense is clearly a far superior force to that cartoon network cast they put out their last year, but the offense has regressed in grotesque fashion and the defense, as good as they have been, still cannot put teams away.

Here are a few thoughts from last nights game. Yes, the defense played exceptionally well, and the offense, ONCE AGAIN, put them in extremely difficult situations, where they often had to defend half the field. Still, their run defense was gruesome  and despite 3 sacks, their pressure often resembled Citi Field crowd…non-existent. And you have to stop them on that last drive even if it was the offense’s fault that you were put in that terrible position.

Now…the offense. Fucking disgusting. Watching Garrett’s play-calling at times can be like chugging month-old whole milk. Over and over again, we have seen conservative play-calling at the end of games when the Cowboys have the lead fail. Garrett needs to fix this egregious running game before he can start trying to have them finish out games. I like Demarco Murray to get more touches and I like Tashard Choice to fuck off and leave this team—his big fumble may have sealed his fate.

The offensive line has gotten little push and their discipline is still terrible. Doug Free has seemingly regressed after a stellar output last year. He had 3 penalties by himself  in the 1^st quarter and has not been as reliable with outside rushers. I can’t get on Tyron Smith too much for his repeated penalties because he is a rookie, its expected.

Romo once again was good enough to have decent stats and a few nice passes but at the end of the day he is either throws retarded passes to the wrong team, get’s tentative, happy-feet in the pocket and doesn’t connect with his receiver, or goes to the wrong check-down in critical 3^rd down situations. And by the way, didn’t the Cowboys have an extra week to prepare for this game? What the fuck do Romo and Dez Bryant do during practice? Do they even practice on the same team—I’ve had enough of these two not being on the same page. I see this as more of a Dez issues because as talented as he is, this “he wasn’t able to practice” excuse is complete bullshit. He needs to study the plays and know what the fuck to do. I can’t stomach him running one way an Romo throwing the other way.

One final thought…Anthony Spencer could be the goat of the game. He had 3 penalties that ultimately could have cost the Cowboys. His idiotic roughing the passer and the kicker penalties literally let the Patriots sustain drives that were dead in the water, and these continuations allowed them to pull out the victory. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see more Victor Butler in the coming weeks.
