Romo-Cowgirls

Well i anticipated the game today more than any in a long time. i love the win or go home situations in sports because it brings out the best in players, and the worst if you live in the dallas, ft. worth area.

as soon as oakland beat tampa bay i knew it was not going to be good for the girls. that meant if philly won they were in the playoffs too. everything had to go right for the eagles to have the shot of playing to get in the playoffs and it happened.

i was a romo lover until and old friend from high school pointed out that romo had not done anything in a big game or after november. a light went off in my head. dang he is right. and ever since then i have not looked at romo the same since then.

go back and look at romo's performance in all the big games the last two years. not very good is giving romo too much credit. after today it is going to be hard to be a girls fan until there is a new QB in town. i truly believe romo just cant handle the pressure. he says all the right things and answers the questions like you would hope he would, but he stinks in the big games on the field.

i know there are other players and he is not solely responsible for the girls not being able to play in dec and jan, but the NFL is all about the QB.

you can just tell during the game today that he looked scared and not confident. there are certain mannerisms that players do when the get scared or back down from a fight. it happened to players on my teams throughout the years and one comes to mind right off the bat. i had a point guard in high school who was one of the best point guards i had played with. he was really good and i was soooo excited to play with him, but when it came to the actual game time he was no were to be found. he just got scared and didn't play the same way.

i am not saying romo is that bad, but so far he has not handled the pressure in the big spot light for the big games. he will be great during the regular season, but he will continue to make the throws that have you wondering why in the heck did he throw it. the last two games, both of which would have birthed the girls into the playoffs, he threw several jump balls that were severely under thrown and not even CLOSE to the receiver.

the good news is regarding the wife because this off season and starting next season my anticipation and anxiety concerning the girls will be at an all time LOW.

Either romo has to go or jason garret. romo blamed the scheme for the last two games including the eagles game today on the poor offensive play saying the league had caught up to jasons scheming and he has not adjusted.

my point is you don't see the arizona cardinals not getting the ball to fitzgerald and boldin. two #1 receivers putting up HUGE numbers and catching the ball everywhere. why cant the girls do that?

romo or garret needs to go.........

cowboys-ravens

this is the best time of year for me. Cowboys fighting to make playoffs, no baseball, and the holidays. the game tonight is beyond excitement. i am going to my brothers for the game tonight and its all i can do not to think about it. that's probably not good but i don't care. when tony romo said pro football is like a reality show that has a whole week to build, he was right. i don't know of any man who would not play professional sports if the opportunity were there and of course had the skill. so to see and hear what goes on all week on the sports talk radio shows, and espn (for everyone but me) with nfl live and how many times a day it comes on, it builds to such a great climax that either leaves you in a really good mood, or it rocks your whole week.

i know i put to much into sports and let it dictate my mood too much, but sports is everything to me and have played at a very high level ever since i was a wee little kid. i was always really good (ok the best) at every sport i played so i now and still feel those feelings when running onto the field or court at the beginning of the game and the competitive juices that flow, and with me more than anything the feeling of winning.

winning was everything to me and drove me to be the best that i could be. so i understand a lot of the TO saga with romo and whitten. the average "white guy" fan always says TO is a distraction and disgrace and i wish he were not here. i am so tired of hearing that. TO is just a fierce competitor who wants to win. he even said "winning cures everything" and he is right. If they win and TO has 1 catch for 7 yards so what. there are so many nuances to sports that if you didn't play, and get a lot of playing time you may not understand. TO does so much for all the other players its crazy. there is a reason whitten is so open ALL the time. i am not saying TO is a saint or anything because he does make a lot of mistakes, but the whole reality show of NFL football has hindered TO because whatever he says and does gets blown WAY out proportion and analyzed way to hard.

anyway i do believe roy williams (the receiver) will take over for TO in the future and be a good #1 receiver, but right now get freakin TO the ball down the MIDDLE of the field and let him work. It baffles me how Fitzgerald and Boldin catch so many balls when everyone tries to stop them. Warner gets them the ball no matter what.

Romo will have to hook up with Roy W tonight in my opinion if the boys are going to win. i look for Roy to make at least one big game changing play.

so i hope my cows win and the eagles loose because the last game in Philly if the eagles win on Sunday will be a huge game and not sure my nerves can handle it. lol
