Missing Parsons won’t be the story tonight, not when it’s also Diggs, Brown, Kearse, and maybe Wilson.

Parsons is more important than the rest of those players combined.

And you saying Heineke is a backup but Dak wasn't because Dak eventually became a starter is ridiculous. Dak was a 3rd string rookie QB. Nobody knew how it was going to turn out for him. Had Romo recovered from his injury earlier, Romo would have been the starter and Dak would have been back on the bench. There was even talk of Romo getting his job back had he not made his speech.

To say Heineke was a backup when he played us is a big reach. He started since week 2. He started 12 games before playing us.

Dak became our full time starter during his rookie season. He pretty much won the job after our wins over Green Bay and Pittsburgh. We moved on from Romo later that season. Taylor Heinicke is a career backup who only continues to start for Washington because their starter who's a journeyman was lost for the season. It doesn’t matter where Dak started on the depth chart he ended up our starter and developed into a franchise QB. Plain and simple Taylor Heinicke is a backup QB. Washington had no choice. Some think Kyle Allen is better than Heinicke but he’s had injuries.

It’s not real good that a part-time edge rusher is our leading sacker. If our offense continues to sputter we better hope we find a pass rush in the playoffs.

Agreed. At the start of the season I believed that we'd go as far as defense can take us. I still believe that.

It shouldn’t matter against Philly’s backups. Besides they’re decimated.

 

[Risen Star]

That's pathetic.

 

[Ranched]

The Egals just announced that a plethora of key players will remain on the reserve/COVID-19 list for tonight's game.

For starters, the backfield will be without Jordan Howard, Miles Sanders & Boston Scott. This means Kenneth Gainwell will be the primary rb.

The defense won’t get us very far if we don’t pick it up on offense. The defense is far from great. We’ve won games because of takeaways. If we don’t get takeaways we usually lose. Our offense has to get on track.

I have faith in our offense. They're not going to shred nfl defenses and certainly not in the playoffs. In the playoffs games get defensive and we've got to be able to play that type of game.

Calling somebody who started 12 games when they played us backup shows you how much you know about this game. Heinicke was coming off of a 4 game winning streak that include beating TB. He is much of a backup as Dak was in 2016. In other words, Heinicke isn't a backup this season, and Dak wasn't a backup in 2016.

With no running game we’re going to be in real trouble. With Dak not being real sharp we can’t be putting games on his shoulders. We have to get some resemblance of a running game going and we have to continue to get takeaways on defense. We continue having issues making critical stops on defense.

Not really. After Romo recovered from his injury and was ready to play he never got his job back because Dak won the job due to his outstanding play. Romo ended up having to hold a press conference and relinquish his job. He was released during the offseason.

Revisionist history. Romo didn’t even get the opportunity to compete for the job because of the red-headed stepchild. Romo didn’t “lose” the job. The idiotic organization made one of the dumbest decisions in the history of the game believing in a fantasy that a rookie QB could take the team to a Super Bowl and gave them the best chance at winning. Dak played great (for a rookie), but he wasn’t the main reason the team was winning, nor did it mean that Romo couldn’t play better. Romo relinquished the job because he’s a class act. He was released because of his injury history and because the same mismanaged organization that hasn’t won anything now in over twenty five years believed the future was Dak, except his rookie year happened to be his best year so far.

My excitement level for this game……………….

 

[Mr_437]

Want to see the young DB’s. Mukuamu, Joseph, Wright, heck even Coyle. Let’s see how they do in a hostile environment.

Yes sir, let's go.

 

[Vanilla2]

Get ready to watch hurts tuck the ball and extend plays and drives. Gonna be a frustrating watch I think

 

[Carson]

He’s playing limited if any snaps at all

It’ll be worse watching Minshew throw for 250

Doubt Philly passes much. We’ve not shown a lot run stopping prowess when it matters. And with Micah out, whoever Philly plays at QB is likely to get some massive gains on scrambles.

Even more reason to reel ourselves in and get back to running the ball, for time of possession if nothing else. Football is a chess game and I'm not sure we play it that way sometimes. It's feast or famine.

Heinicke has started 12 games this season because Washington lost their starting QB for the entire season. Why can’t you get that? Do you consider Taylor Heinicke a legitimate starting NFL QB? If you were in charge of Washington would Heinicke be your starting QB next season? Taysom Hill is a backup QB and we beat him. He’s only starting for New Orleans because Jameis Winston their starter was lost for the season. Taysom Hill is a legitimate backup QB just like Taylor Heinicke. Neither one of them are very good.
