0-4 without Romo. Can they steal one of the 3 remaining?

[Clove]

No, Tony made the Dallas Cowboys. They could beat the Bucs though.

If this is the case, the coaching staff is terrible, the GM is worse. If one or two players make your entire team, your team is no good.

 

[Chuck 54]

If we can't win a game before November 22nd then the team should seriously consider shutting down Romo and Bryant for the year. Romo's remaining time is too precious to compromise with a further injury in a lost season. Should Bryant re-injure his foot, then he runs the risk of degrading the integrity of the bone. This is just too much to gamble on the off chance that we can run the table the last two months of the season.

The problem is you just don't shut down healthy players. If we are 2-12, but Romo is healthy at the end of the year, he plays; same with Dez. They are making incredible salaries that limits the ability to have the type of supporting casts that other teams without top 5 QB's and WR's do. Every player is out there every week laying his health on the line. If a starter is fully healthy, he has to go out there and play. If you were developing a young QB, maybe you think otherwise for Romo, but we aren't. The season is lost, but there are still games to be played.

A different perspective:

Does anyone think the Texans have a chance at winning their division? Most assuredly, the answer is NO.

Ok, so Dallas sits at the same # of wins in a better division and conference. Do they have a chance? Again, NO.

It is over, this team will not win again until our savior arrives but it will be too late. Weeden, Cassel, Moore, Linus, snoopy......whoever, it doesn't matter.

Romo is the Dallas Cowboys and there is no arguing that. He covers up the ineptitude of all the coaches, executives and the "talent" that plays along side him.

They're not winning a game without Romo. It's hilarious because he's not even that good, but the Cowboys are that inept.

Go celebrate your Giants winning somewhere else.

 

[bark]

The picks are exactly what I was concerned about with Matt Cassel, and I don't see any good reason to expect that's going to change next week. He's got the courage to take chances downfield, but this is exactly the reason why Weeden didn't. Cassel has a lot more touch on his throws. He's more comfortable in the pocket and at making changes at the line (as he should be with his experience). He can look off a S, and he opens up the play book just by being in there. And then he throws weak passes into coverage and gives up the football, Cowboys lose.

Either way, it doesn't matter. If our defense doesn't take the ball away our our ST tackle better, nobody we've got on the roster we can suit up right now can win for us. This week, we saw the OL play better, all around. The RBs proved that RB wasn't really the problem, after all. But the rest of the team did not step up.

The Giants were the ones getting the turnovers. And the defensive scores. And the ST scores. And they had the better QB to start with. The issue really isn't Weeden or Cassel. We need to play better, all around. Or when Tony comes back, it's just not going to matter.

Not loving him vs earl Thomas and kam chancellor

What in the hell is wrong with you people......ok...I got that off my chest...

What kind of fan watches and wants their team to lose games or sit their best players or any of this crap I am reading?
Sure it looks like a long shot at 2-4 but I will still tune in for every Cowboys game and I will still want us to win. I will be watching the Eagles tonight wanting them to lose also.

Until we are mathematically eliminated from the playoffs I will tune in and want us to win and hold out hope.
I'm a Cowboys fan. That's what I do.

 

[CowboysFanSince88]

I expected a win today and a loss next week which would have set up a big showdown for 11/8

Us at 3-4 and Eagles at 4-3 or 3-4. But I don't see us beating seattle at all so that 11/8 game won't be much of a showdown because we will likely be 2-5.

It really annoys the hell out of me that the Giants never get up to play the eagles but always bring their A game when they play us.

I don't even have an appetite right now

 

[CrownCowboy]

Yeah we are done.

We can't win a ballgame without Romo.

The most disappointing thing about today was the fact that they were just not prepared. Giving up a KO return for a TD, the penalties and turnovers.

Instead of going site seeing and trying to give tear jerking speeches, maybe Garrett should have his football team mentally focused on the upcoming game.

I'd IR Romo, stop trying to force Dez back out there, and just roll with Cassel and be as competitive as you can be with that. Evaluate the team going forward and try and make a go of it next year. Hopefully this team will not get absolutely destroyed with injuries next year.

 

[Zordon]

If this is the case, the coaching staff is terrible, the GM is worse. If one or two players make your entire team, your team is no good.

Say it again Clove. I'm sitting here listening to Norm steaming mad waiting for someone to call out this sorry *** puppet head coach. Been here nearly a decade yet still relies on one player for everything. Garrett should feel real shame for not being able to win a single game without a starting QB.

 

[Idgit]

Not loving him vs earl Thomas and kam chancellor

Me, either.

If we win that SEA game, it was going to be on our defense and with the offense not taking too many chances. Pretty disappointed with the defense tonight, honestly. I expected the offense to be challenged.

 

[MRV52]

3 and O here we come!!!!!

 

[okstateCowboy]

 

[WPBCowboysFan]

It really doesn't matter. This season was over weeks ago and it falls at the feet of the two morons who run our personnel department. To not field a competent back up QB is inexcusable. Especially when your starter is old and breaking down.

Havent you heard, Garrett and McClay have changed everything?

 

[MRV52]

Me, either.

If we win that SEA game, it was going to be on our defense and with the offense not taking too many chances. Pretty disappointed with the defense tonight, honestly. I expected the offense to be challenged.

Disappointed with the defense? Put the crack pipe down.

 

[bark]

What was the scenario the yr Rodgers went down with a broken collar bone for the packers.?
Besides the game we gifted them

 

[DFWJC]

Are you saying, last year was a fluke?

I think he's not saying that....
Well, they had Dez and Romo last year....so apples and oranges.

 

[Star Guard_31]

The problem is you just don't shut down healthy players. If we are 2-12, but Romo is healthy at the end of the year, he plays; same with Dez.

If you were developing a young QB, maybe you think otherwise for Romo, but we aren't. The season is lost, but there are still games to be played.

We shut Romo down when it became apparent the season was lost in 2010. He wasn't nearly as battered at that point and we still weren't willing to risk his well being.

 

[DFWJC]

6-1 ain't happening. They need at least two wins before he returns. Their schedule down the stretch is no cakewalk.

Sadly, I think you're right.
They need two wins sans Romo to have a semi-realistic shot.

 

[WPBCowboysFan]

He's not. The guy can't even get out of the divisional round of the playoffs and shrinks in every big moment.

Folds like a cheap lawn chair, huh?

 

[Doomsday]

1-2 the next 3 games wont get it done, they have to win 2 of the next 3 to have any chance of making the playoffs in my opinion.
