Default Does Dallas Win if Vick stays in the game?

If Vick stays in the game?

Dallas won the game, to be sure.

But since this place is more than fond of playing the what if game...does Dallas win if Vick stays in and the rookie doesn't play?

And in that answer rests what can happen when Vick and company visit Jerry's Strip Club and Fashion Boutique in Arlington.

Seventeen points is not enough to win most days in this league.

The schedule is not as easy as it looks. You cannot ignore that division rivals have a way of sometimes winning even when they are not as good as Dallas. We have three of those left.

Cinci is tough in their house.

New Orleans will not roll over and the Stealers are tough.

So what if Vick had played the entire game?

Maybe the Super Bowl posts should take a breather.

Considering I think I read he had blurred vision from a concussion, I think the Cowboys would have probably still won.

And yes, I know what you meant, but where's the fun in that?

Ok then Dallas win, heck Philly has had their own issues this year with Vick at QB so who knows what would have happened.

Would Dallas have ran the ball even better with Murray in the game? Would our safety play be better if Church was in the lineup? if Lee was not out would he be a big help to the defense?

We would have won easier with Vick in the game.

I think it would have been a bigger blowout with Vick.

They were playing fairly well until Vick went out. Soon as he did the Cowboys lost their intensity for about a quarter. Philly was trying to rally around the rookie QB but they ran out of steam after a quarter. I think the end result would have been the same but maybe not quite so lopsided.

Losing Vick actually helped the Eagles. The guy is the dumbest quarterback in the league.

I was actually MORE worried when Vick went out.

clearly the score dictated we would have won if Vick was still in the game. ONe arm behind his back, punch drunk, probably deciding where to eat after the game and he was still taking on the Dallas D. I think if he was allowed to down a bottle of bourbon for the pain he could still rally that team to not just stop Dallas, but than when he gets back in, the offense rallies to put them over the top.

I think we've got an early consensus that people aren't too worried about Mike Vick this year.

To your other point, I agree that the Superbowl talk is beyond comical. I don't understand what it is about fans that they can't just have a moderat position and wait to see how the season unfolds. Every year there are dramatic reversals, one way or the other, with every team in the NFCE. You just don't know how it might play out until Dec, at the earliest.

We've responded to him and he has made us better football players, better people. If you watch us I think we play with a certain relentless spirit." --Sean Lee

We didn't even attempt a pass in the 4th qtr so this 17 pts argument needs to take breather.
"It's little bit like the description of pornography from years back. It's hard to define it. But you know what it is at the end of it. It's hard to define it. I think you know who is more physical. Often times you see that in the fourth quarter. A lot of time the team on the other side feels it. We pride ourselves on being a physical football team. It's important to us. It's an important time of the year to lay that foundation." - Coach Garrett

Yep. There were two series there where we were taking the air out of the ball because it was the smart thing to do given the conditions in the game.

Great question. I think we still would have but I certainly don't know.

I wouldn't get hung up on the 17 offensive points. The punt return TD and INT return TD back to back put us in drain the clock mode on offense and prevent on defense. It's a completely different situation if the game is tight.

We'll settle this with a good dust up.

I disagree with the consensus.

Underestimation seems to be the soup du jour.
