Win with backups................amazingly, teams around the league actually win games without all of their starters in the lineup......except us, of course

I know this is a foreign concept around these parts, but a lot of teams still manage to win games and don't just lie down in the fetal position when they are missing starters.

This also begs the question, if we are incapable of winning a single game with our backups, shouldn't the coaches who selected those backups be held responsible? Again, I know holding people accountable for doing a poor job is another foreign concept around these parts, but it is a legit question.

Arians took his team to the playoffs in his second year losing several key players to injuries last year. Including his starting QB in week 10.

Some here make it sound like no team can win with backups in key positions.

Bellicheck won games with his WR playing CB due to injuries.

Would love to Belicheat win without Brady right now. With no Randy Moss on the roster like 2008.

Arizona basically backed in the playoffs after they got off to a 9-1 start.

Bottom line they still won with the backups. AZ didn't fold like a cheap lawn chair and went 9-7. They won 4 out of last 7 games with Drew Stanton. Beating the Rams twice and KC and Detroit. Detroit was a playoff team last year. We couldn't even beat the Saints with a one armed QB.

That one armed quarterback is one of the best in the league. A first ballot Hall of Famer. A Super Bowl champion. The Saints aren't as bad as we thought. They had just blown out the undefeated Falcons. Stanton did a great job as a backup, but Palmer is nowhere near as important as Romo. They still had Fitzgerald. If they lose both Palmer and Fitzgerald early in the season I highly doubt they're anywhere near sniffing the playoffs.

No thanks. Seriously, at this point, if Tony are Dez aren't out there when they are able to play, what's even the point of watching? Just for the comedy? lol

Because we're fans. Are you just a Romo and Dez fan or what?

I am a Cowboys fan and no matter how pathetic they look I'll be watching every week.

It's so frustrating being a Cowboys fan these days. Starting the season with so much promise and knowing we have the best team and then seeing it decimated by injuries. I hope this team still has something to play for when it finally gets whole again.

Saints got blown out by the EaGirls the week after they beat us. So now you are an expert on how important a player is to their teams? Oh, that's right you also thought Escobar was a real strong dude.

Keep making excuses for a team that is playing sloppy football. Then again, you probably don't even know the difference between what's good and sloppy football.

A team that can't create turnovers lacks coaching or talent.....period.
