Gut Check or Reality Check?

Terrell Owens says the Cowboys will be fine.  He says there is no doubt the Cowboys will respond Saturday against Carolina, and that the Super Bowl hopes are still alive.

I agree..to a point.

Tony RomoTony Romo played the worst game of his career against the Eagles, and the Cowboys still had a shot with under three minutes to go in the game.  That either says a lot about the rest of this Dallas team, or a lot about how inept the Eagles are this season.  Either way, I don't think the Cowboys will be playing Philadelphia on their way to the Super Bowl.

Romo is spectacular..and to criticize at this point is just dumb.  But when he fails, he fails in a way that makes MAJOR headlines.  Remember the Buffalo game?  Sure, the Cowboys won that, and Romo was a huge reason....but there doesn't seem to be a happy medium with him.

He is either All-Pro or terrible.  Maybe it would help if Dallas rekindled their running game.  When is the last time you saw Jones or Barber dominate a game...and not when the outcome was already decided.  Getting 4 or 5 yards a pop at the beginning of the game, might be more effective than when you're trying to run out the clock.

As for the passing game...it's quite obvious that defenses are either going to allow Owens or Jason Witten to go crazy.  But the other won't.  Okay, so what happened to Crayton, Hurd, Miles, and Barber out of the backfield?  As great as Jason Garrett appears to be at calling plays, can't he call something besides a curl route from Witten or an in route for Owens?

Two games to go... and 3 more for a championship... what's your prediction for the final six weeks of the NFL season? Click here to comment...

First of all, why do local sports fan always do this? During the Spurs playoffs, you blog something after a big loss and everyone criticizes the team , says trade Tim, Tony and Manu and cries. The fact of the matter, the Spurs regroup and then win. The Cowboys, I believe, will do the same. Keep in mind, they have won 12 out of 14 games which is a hell of a record. As far as the girl thing, unless he was looking at binoculars or texting during defensive drives, what's the big deal. FOX TV should have focused more on the game then on her but that's just me. Before everyone goes to the observation deck of the Tower and contemplates throwing all their Cowboys gear down, remember this. Romo is damn good. Other than  Brady and Favre, there is no one better right now. A loss is usually followed by a resounding win so keep your underwear/panties on and chill out. Everyone needs a good ass-kicking every now and then.

It just amazes me that no other wives of any other players are ever shown...but holy cow...bring a hollywood bomb-shell, and the world stops.  It's football, and who cares who's sitting in the stands.  Romo needed to wipe that silly smile off his face and concentrate on his "Boys"...not his "toys"....
Romo doesn't want to be a Brady (he's kind of gay anyway), or a Farve (he's old)......GO COWBOYS!!!!

It's not the girls. People are expecting too much. Sure everyone wants to win.
Comparing Romeo to Farve, Brady and even Aikman, wake up and smell the roses.
Cowboys do have something to build on, there is a lot of talent there. I think it's a fluke they are where they are this year. GET RID of T.O. There is no room for that kind of attitude, I don,t care how good you are.  Romeo will be a good QB when he grows up. Even a blind sow finds an acorn every now and then.
Thanks to Jerry I am no longer a cowboys fan. GO PACKERS

Was that tears streaming down Romo's face?  What a girlie man.  I predict a loss in their first playoff game, and Romo bawling on the sidelines.  Evidently, everyone has forgotten his reaction to his playoff muff last year.

Carrie is so much more beautiful then Jessica.  Jessica is such an airhead.  That gives me a little insight on what kind of man Romo is.  I really got tired of seeing her on tv during the game.  Who wants to see that stupid ditz to begin with.  She is just in it for the spotlight.  Her latest movie went straight to DVD haha what a loser.  Didn't Carrie just win an award.  Man she is such a babe.  O well.
