    Dallas picked up Morris Claiborne. Hopefully him and Carr can fix some of our problems on D this year.

    Oh! I'm so glad I went through the section to read everything! You're a Cowboys fan? So am I! Please tell me that you hate Tony Romo. We've been getting along so well, I'd hate for the first bump in the road to come this quickly. :D

    LOL. Nice another Dallas fan. I have to say that I don't hate anyone on the Dallas team. And I don't blame Romo for any of the loses. He did have some bad moments in games which look like they cost us the game, but if you look to early parts of the game there was mistakes by others that would have kept Romo out of that position later in the game. You win as a team and you lose as a team.

    We were also weak in some positions so hopefully the new guys can fill those positions and play at a high level really early in their careers. I would like to see Dallas deep into the playoffs this year.

    Steelers? What? :p I don't mind the Steelers when they are not playing Dallas. I was a fan of the Bus, Hines Ward (I'm disappointed that they didn't let him play another year or two. I think he still had something to offer the team.) and Troy Polamalu.

    I don't mind if they do well as long as its not as well at Dallas.

    No, that game against Detroit was all Tony Romo. The Jets game was all Tony. It was one thing when Patrick Rock Hands Crayton was on the team costing them a trip to the NFC Championship, but Tony has been the consistent figure in all of the Cowboys early exits and disappointing games.

    Jerry should've jumped when Denver was trying to trade Jay Cutler. They both needed a new spot to start over.

    Right now I can't remember each game but I still don't put the blame on him. I still feel it was a team loss. For a minute I was hoping they would go after Manning but I would like to see Romo do well as a Cowboy to prove people wrong.

    Well, I'll be the first one in that line. I wanted to love him, but he is consistently a blunder waiting to happen. It's something mental at this point. I don't know why these guys are so against sports psychology, it did wonders for John Smoltz. I'm really ready for Tony to pursue golf full time at this point.

    I didn't want Peyton because I really want him to retire. I'm just nor prepared to see him carted off the field, so I probably won't be watching too many Denver games this year.

    Thats understandable. I don't want to see him carted off the field. But because he is playing I will try to watch some. I like watching him play. I never want him to do better then Dallas. I know Colts fans so I don't like to cheer for him. I do hope he has a much better year then the Colts.

    If Peyton had never won a Super Bowl, then I could understand his need to play, but he has and he also has a wife and children. I get that you don't want to end your career like that, but he needs to think about more than just himself in a situation like this. He is going to get sacked next year, how many hits will he be able to take?

    I feel the same way but then I have to sit back and think about it. Why is his health worth one ring but not more? He was cleared to play so all I can do is wish him the best and hope he has an amazing group in front of him that can keep him from taken to many big hits.

    Because then he's not only considering the physical, but the mental. He may not get hurt if he plays, but if he walked away prior to winning, he'd never know if he could've been a champion. He'd always have something that would gnaw away at him and that too could've affected his family life tremendously. However, if he gets hurt while trying to prove nothing, but that the Colts were mean to him, then that is ridiculous.

    But with someone as competitive as him he would play just as hard if he was with the Colts. And you always want another one. There are many players in many different sports that don't know when to quit. But if he is cleared there isn't much that can be done unless nobody wanted to hire him.
