I disagree with most of you about the offensive line

About one thing : the offensive line . I don't see huge needs here like most of you do . I think livings has played great this year and Bernadeau has gotten much better . Smith has played well . Now I do agree we can use an upgrade with one position RT. I wouldnt mind getting a new RT and just letting costa and cook complete for the starting spot . Cook has been playing great these last 4 games .

PS the defense line / OLB is a different story we need 3 new DL and a new safety .

40 yards rushing.

Murray and Felix don't have 1,000 yards rushing combined. I believe we've given up about 600 more rushing yards than we've gotten.

Romo's had to be magician in the pocket too many times to count.

This is so bad I have to think it's a joke thread.

I'm cool with Livings, and Tyron. I can be sold on Costa as well.

The right side needs to be remodeled.

No it's not this offensive line has gelled over the past month . They are gaining confidence with one another . Tony has been almost untouched the last month or so .

Oh c'mon that's bs Murray had some nice holes today , I'm very skeptical about Murray . He is a good back but he isn't a great back . We need too draft another RB .

It's sad. All of the sudden Romo has some clean pockets vs. an outstanding Saints defense so we no longer need O-Line help. We'll see how this goes after we play Seattle if we make the playoffs.

The pass blocking has been good enough to win, but the run blocking is terrible. Cook is a good pass blocker but is not and never will be a good run blocker.

Parnell is already better at RT than Bernadeau is a RG, IMO.

Even if the starting OL was good enough, the depth is minimal/unproven.

Go watch the tape of the last 4 games OL looks like there getting it . We only need a new RT.

Sorry but Bernie is a disaster out there at times, no way they can trust him going into next season.

He has gotten much better . Don't forget he was injured and missed all of training camp . I believe in self improvement . Remember how bad Gurode was ?
We will see what the front office think in the offseason right ?

If Romo wasn't able to avoid pressure, he'd be on IR right now.

If he couldn't escape, he'd be taking a dozen or so huge hits every game.

Thing is, he can avoid pressure, mentioning IR is just creating drama. If Romo was more like a pocket QB who hit their back foot and the ball is out or Brees, who gets rid of the ball quicker and has a tendency not to wait and try to make the huge plays Romo tries to make, then there would be less pressure on the OL.

We do need to upgrade the OL, no question a new guard and especially drafting a RT would help, but sometimes things here are overstated and exaggerated.
