Arizona is overrated

Yep. With a healthy Romo, I'm fully confident we win that game, even with our overachieving defense starting to come back down to earth.

I'm not going to sit here and say they are the best team in the NFC just because of their record and Aikman and Buck say so.

We've played better teams this year and with a healthy Romo we run that team off the field today.

Agreed. I haven't been impressed with them most of the season. They do just enough to win but if we played them again I would welcome it.

Coulda woulda shoulda. We all know that's not how the NFL works. They got the win we took the L.

Arizona has a good team. I don't want to be a little you know what about it, but yeah, I'm still not blown away. That run defense is pretty good, but Murray would have got his hundred with a passing game to help him out today. Weeden made Dallas one-dimensional, and Arizona got gifted a game vs. a team that struggled on offense, and that has a bad, beat-up defense. By the end of the year, they might still be the 3rd best team in their division, but props to them, they have the wins, and I'd rather see them win than quite a few other NFC teams.

Tough, physical, and extremely well coached. Best team in football? That only matters in early February, but they are a strong contender.

Totally agree. I was very unimpressed by them. I just hope that they can get healthy, McClain and Crawford are okay and they refocus. Losing your starting QB takes a toll on your psyche. I don't care what anyone says. You lose confidence.

Very good team that has lost only once and their starting qb missed a few games. They have had there share of injuries and 7-1 is impressive.

There were chances to pull out a win today. We just played too stupid to do it. Cards spotted us 10pts & still handled their business. Have to give them credit.

Our team is over rated as well, our dominant OLine can't block a blitz and there is a big drop off from Leary to Berny. And what the heck happened to our special teams??? They have stunk all year.

Nice record. Team is overrated though.

Give me Dallas with a healthy Romo all day every day. Not just Dallas I'd take quite a few more teams as well.

I don't know that they're overrated, because they get about as little national attention as a 7-1 team can. They're very solid, have a good defense, and they take the ball away from you. They're limited offensively, but they are well-coached. It's a pretty good formula for winning in today's NFL.

I do agree what we'd have beaten them fairly handily in Dallas with a healthy Romo. At BoB in AZ, it might be a different story, though.

With a healthy Romo we coulda ....

With a healthy Romo we shoulda ...

But guess what? We don't have a healthy Romo. Sucks for us for not preparing a proper replacement QB. There's a reason why Weeden was available at $280K a year.

Shame on us for thinking Romo would be healthy all year. Run through a minefield thinking we can make it to the other side ...

Yeah, this isn't a game with Romo. Weeden looked like Brad Johnson out there. An even near competent QB wins this game.
