The key to winning will be the defense stepping up and playing a hell of a lot better than it did yesterday and a few weeks ago vs Washington plus Romo having a big, productive mistake free game. If that happens the Cowboys will win but I have little confidence in the defense containing RG3 and Morris.
Nothing has hurt the Cowboys more in these do or die games than the play of the defense. Eli shredded the D in the season finale last year with 346 yards and 3 TD's. With all the injuries on the defense and Ware being rendered ineffective due to his health things aren't looking very promising.

The players on defense are off the streets. They make mistakes, but they are learning the system still, and doing the best they can. Plus, they play hard physical football. No quit that I see.

You are right quarterback play matters the most, we just need him too run the no huddle offense and we will see offense that will be scoring and so many yards he just takes over the huddle so well and better than most qbs out there he is one of the best in a no huddle offense no doubt |

There's no quit but this is an average defense that's been riddled with injuries and it's caught up with the team. If the offense didn't make some big plays yesterday the Saints would have blown the Cowboys out. |

this. Defense made no plays. Didn't the saints convert like 11 of 19 3rd downs, including alot of 3rd and longs. SMH. Running backs out the backfield killed us. |

As long as he can hold onto the football... TWO straight games with a critical fumble.

They just need to make sure they keep the "play" in playaction. When they hard sell it, we are unstoppable. When they do it from the shotgun, not so much.

Romo is playing great ball and I understand putting him at the center of the game plan passing it the way he has. But we need to be more of a team about time of possession. A big reason the Saints won in the end is that they had the ball all game long. We need to eventually run the ball and start winning the TOP war.

Here is the biggest problem with that. You are all the sudden asking your offense to do.something it has not been able to do all year. I'm sorry but thats not smart. As much as I would like to just cram the the run game down washingtons throat its not remotely realistic with this group. |

I know yesterday Murray made some good runs and after that we threw the ball on all three downs and this was before the fumble?? I don't get it. I know the league is going to a passing league but if Murray can get going, feed him the ball, control the clock, and keep Griffen on the bench.....

Garrett is the key to Murray being the key...Murray doesn't have to have big runs to make an impact...he just has to have a lot of touches |

I dont think , i know Murray is the key. Just depends on Garrett and if he'll use him. When Murray gets 20 or more carries Dallas is undefeated.

The Saints ran the ball at least twice as much as we did, and averaged less than 3 ypc ...Murray was getting almost 4 ypc ...The only reason the running game was not effective was because we didn't stick with it |
