Ummm...yeah....actually it can.

Mostly because Arizona is actually a good team. They're more physical.

So, yeah, it can be worse.

It can actually get better too. Knowing we are playing a good team and what is at stake. I still am not totally convinced on Arizona. They keep a lot of their games pretty close. They aren't the type of team that is going to score at will and run away from you.

The Cards game will show me a lot about the Cowboys in hown hey repond to getting their butt whooped. No excuses for the loss to the Commanders. They need to regroup, lick their wounds and get back to business. Fight.

Give me a break at getting their butts 'whooped' or whatever. They lost by 3 points in OT. Everything else I agree with but we didn't get our butts 'whooped' or whipped.

Dallas needs to find a Pass Rush. This game will be a telling sign as to what kind of team Dallas is.

Look beyond the scoreboard. Washington's DL and blitz schemes had a huge impact on the game. Their DBs pretty much shut Dez down.

Dallas never forced them out of their game plan on offense or defense.

Regardless of the score they straight up got beat.

That disturbs me the most. They actually harassed Eli a bit last week. They just didn't sack them. Dallas couldn't even breathe on Colt in the 2nd half and it's not like the skins have a good oline.

Yes it absolutely can get better. That's what I am hoping for but they do make me nervous.

Well that's all that matter at the end of the day. Anyway the yardage, turnovers, sacks, etc were pretty close. We didn't get our butts whooped or whipped. That's all I'll say about that.

You got that right if we see the same Cowboys defense we saw last night on Sunday vs the Cards and the Cowboys turn the ball over multiple times they'll lose bay at least 2 scores.

The same goes for the Cards if they turnover the ball. Our Defense only let up 17 points in regulation.

Not necessarily Washington had a turnover last night and still won the game. Our D gave up 17 points to a 2 win team that was being led by their 3rd string QB who's playing with his 3rd team. Our D allowed a journeymen QB who hadn't started a game in almost 3 years to complete 25 of 30 passes and beat them. What else is new? FANS laughed at the thought of Colt McCoy having a solid game against the Cowboys but I pointed out how a couple of other journeymen QB's Matt Flynn and Josh McCown lite up the Cowboys D last season but the response I got was that was last season. We saw the same crap with the defense we saw last season missed tackles and allowing an average QB to have a career game.

Washington won the turnover battle including a Murray fumble in their red zone, they won the special teams battle and Haslett outcoached Linehan.

We lost with our offense on the field on three straight passes in overtime. Blame the defense all you want.

If our defense stepped up and got McCoy on the turf when they had him corralled on some key 3rd downs and we were able stop Morris from churning up yards in crunch time the Cowboys could have won the game in regulation. The Commanders controlled the ball for most of the second half primarily due to our defense missing tackles and not being able to stop them. The Cowboys lost the time of possession battle especially in the second half.

It's possessing the ball that's helped the Cowboys win most of their games. The turnovers put the defense back on the field but turnovers have put the D back on the field in other games including against Seattle but they stepped up and made plays in those games. Seattle won the turnover battle vs the Cowboys but the defense was outstanding that day enabling the Cowboys to overcome 2 turnovers and a blocked punt for a TD. The Cowboys lost to Washington due to turnovers and the defense playing poorly.

The Cowboys were exposed by the blitz on Monday night and there's probably not a team in the league that blitzes more than the Cardinals. The Cowboys are going to have to make adjustments because if Romo's mobility is limited this could be a long game.

Doesn't sound like the bruise will limit his mobility.

The Cards have been terrible on the backend, I expect them to blitz early and to lose early. We'll, be ready for it. The coaching staff was embarrassed on MNF, I expect a better game plan and a lot of hot reads.

There's a report by Ed Werder that Romo could miss a couple of games. He might not play vs AZ if the report is true. If he does play the Cowboys protection better be straightened out because the Cards are going to pin their ears back and come after him.

If that's the case... Then imo he tweaked the back and it's more than a bruise.

If it's a deep bruise than can have him ready, and there is no reason why he shouldn't star against AZ. Sitting him out to be precautionary until after the bye week could be trouble. A Rusty Romo in NY is no good.
