Sturm: Why you shouldn't check out on the 2-6 Cowboys

http://www.***BANNED-URL***/sports/...reat-plans-have-been-spoiled-with-reality.ece



Sometimes, you get the feel that this might not be your year.

Every team who has ever played any sport at any level has been met with resistance at some point or another. But, there does come a point in a given season - especially one that left the port with so much promise of good times ahead - when you begin to take the hint that the implied promises were not worth the paper they were printed on. The season takes so many negative turns that it appears hopeless before you are even able to get the hopes elevated.

In other words, 2015 appears to be the exact opposite sports experience for Dallas Cowboys fans that 2014 offered. Last year was a season where nothing but misery was expected and before it was done, many saw that this team might have been capable of winning the Super Bowl if the cards had fallen slightly differently.

Well, 2015 was the other side of that coin. A full offseason of imagining what the view from the pinnacle of the mountain might look like and even the symmetry of a preseason trip to the very stadium that would host the Super Bowl offered the sneaky suspicion that this could be a special journey...

Same...

not checked out yet, but Romo comes back, and unless he plays defense or can coordinate the defense, what does it matter. The defense will still be a problem when he returns.

Same here. I think whoever wins this division will probably have 7 losses so 8 is pushing it but either way i'm still not out especially if Romo comes back and we only have 6 or 7 losses.

I know its silly to even still have playoff hopes. But I have a intrigue of seeing if Romo can fix this mess.

He'll keep the defense off the field like he did a year ago.

That's the thing about Romo's injury. Its effected everyone. This defense was solid and getting turnovers because teams had to play us aggressive. They couldn't dink and dunk and beat us with 14 points on the board. You get a healthy Romo back......all of a sudden teams are going to be prone to giving you more turnovers, the defense will be on the field less, the run game will be better.....Romo's impact goes further than just the offense. The defense feels his impact as well.

I think Tony comes back, and he's extremely pissed off after having watched what we all get to watch, and I think he goes on a tangent like we've never seen. And I think we see General Tony come out and he gets pissed at garrett and teammates publicly/on the field in full on command mode.

Its the only thing left to hope for. I don't like watching losing. I don't care what anyone says. I don't like tanking.

 

[BotchedLobotomy]

I wouldn't say I've checked out, but as good as Romo can be, I do not believe he is enough to get them into the playoffs coming back to a potential 2-8 record. There are alot of players and coaches on this team that would need to step it up big time in order for this team to go on an epic winning streak.

We more than likely will have to win out. That's more than unfair to ask of Romo. The defense HAD to help out the offense this year.
The did a decent job, just not enough.

I would say they've done enough as awhole considering the garbage coordinator they have and the fact they truly only have one impact player. They stunk down the stretch last night, but still held the Eagles to 20 points in regulation. If it wasn't for that awful pick six they win. That's on the quarterback. 13 points in back to back weeks. If Terrance doesn't wuss out and makes that TD grab we win going away.

 

[StarBoyz83]

Dallas needs to win 6 most likely 7 of next 8 absolutely not happening. This is crazy talk.

 

[foofighters]

I am already looking forward to next year. I've checked out already...

But Romo can score points. ...TDs when needed

When did Sturm go on the Cowboys payroll?

Deadskins did it one year when they were 3-6. ITs crazy talk. But in this division? I don't know how crazy it is. Romo has won 6 out of 7 games before. It will be really tough agains some of these opponents. Really tough defenses coming to town.

 

[Avery]

Can Weeden beat the Bucs?

Serious question.

He's going to have some rust. People have to remember that.

 

[ScipioCowboy]

There's hope until you're mathematically eliminated.
