Supposedly Starks is less likely to play than Lacy.
It's not even the running game we have to worry about. It is Aaron Rodgers. They are going to rack up points against us.. we just have to do the same and eat up a ton of clock in the process.

1. Dak is getting the best pass protection in the NFL.

2. He's getting the ball out quickly.

3. He's mobile enough to escape pressure if it gets there.

4. Zeke Elliott is a devastating pass protector against blitzes.

5. The run game is keeping the team in positive down-and-distance, which keeps teams honest.
Yes , but you didn't make the comparisons ...

1. Statistically they weren't the best pass protecting OL with Romo. Why?

2. Does Romo not get the ball out as quick and is that an advantage or disadvantage ?

3. Is Romo mobile enough to escape the pressure like Dak?

I was hoping you'd provide some of the pros to having Romo in there instead of just the pros for Dak. I'd also like to see the cons for both.

I'd rather go after Matthew's. Still steaming about that low hit on Romo in 2014
ME too. The refs were going to make sure the pack won. Between that, the Cobb "catch" that CLEARLY hit the ground (no indisputable evidence to say otherwise), and the Dez catch. It just makes me hate the Packers even more, and I've hated them since the early 90's.

Wow, i forgot about the Cobb catch. Thank you for reminding me about that joke.

But, sacks are so nice to see..especially if the QB can't get up.

Except when you had gone 5/14 with 2 INTs and your backup happens to be Aaron Rogers :laugh: (see 2007 season -- though we did win that game anyway).

The ball hit the ground and his fingers at the exact same time. I believe they even reviewed it and called it a catch.

You can see it, everyone can see it, yet the refs called it differently. I had a sick feeling after Matthews went after Romo's knees in front of the ref with no penalty called. Romo did express his opinion to the ref who then blew it off like no big deal.

Then there was the Cobb non catch. Then of course the Dez non catch, which was actually more of a catch than Cobbs play.

The signs were there all game long that there was an apparent agenda by the refs and the NFL against the Cowboys in that game.

Now that ratings are suffering, the NFL will pimp the Cowboys to improve them. After all, nobody really gives a **** about the Seahawks, Panthers and these other teams that have taken the NFC title the last few years. NFL is realizing that those small market teams don't improve ratings. Cowboys will be back on top now with favorable bias from the NFL front office.

I said when they picked up that flag against us when we played the Lions, it would come back to haunt us. Then, all that week the controversy began, and the Lion's fans blamed that on the reason they lost (even though they had enough time to come back and win). I didn't think it would be that bad.

That Lions play was much ado about nothing. Never mind that Hitchens had is facemask grabbed on that play. Then all the stuff about Blandino and the Cowboys party bus came out. Blandino set out to prove his non bias the next week, but he is still having to explain the Dez call to this day. Now no one really knows what a catch actually is.

I'm of the opinion that you hire younger refs that can adapt to the speed of the game and eliminate instant replay. No way a guy sitting on his *** in New York should have this much power to overrule the refs standing 2 yards from the play. Oh, and these former refs like Pereira shouldn't get any air time either.
