Rants

Even though I'm trying to stay positive about the loss, I just have to rant about a few things...

- Where the hell are the sacks and turnovers? This team was #1 in sacks last year and in two games haven't been able to bring down 'slow release' Byron Leftwich or 'sacked 8 times last match-up' Eli Manning. They also haven't forced a fumble or grabbed an interception... unacceptable.

- Romo took the blame for the loss, Scandrick took the blame for the loss, Gurode said it wasn't Romo's fault that it was the team's fault, Wade probably said it was his fault, Scandrick couldn't sleep last night... whatever... just correct it! There's a problem and that's obvious, how can it be fixed, that's the question.

- Why couldn't any wide receivers get open against the Giants' second string cornerbacks? Was Romo just missing them? Very frustrating to watch and brings into question (once again) the value of the Roy Williams trade. With just one catch this game, his number 1 status should be in question.

- Speaking of wideouts, is it time to give Kevin Ogletree a try? Why not at this point... and what about Jesse Holley? I can picture the storyline now, from winning a spot on the roster through a reality show to catching the game winning touchdown pass in the Super Bowl... now wouldn't that be something.

- DeMarcus Ware... Where... Where are you? I already ranted a bit about the lack of sacks, but Ware is supposed to be on pace to crush his 20 sacks of last season. With zero so far, I don't know if that record will be reached this year.

That's really all I can think of right now... I'm sure there's many more rants to make, but I must take at least another day away from the loss to reflect. Gotta look forward to the Carolina game next Monday. It may be too little too late, but it's a chance to finally grab the first win at the new stadium... Aww Yea!
