"Even with Romo the team hasn't been playing all that well."

WITH Romo, the Cowboys are 3-0 - undefeated. Where do you get that the team hasn't been playing all that well WITH Romo?
We are at home, with our starting QB, WITH whom we are yet to lose this year.

The Patriots went 10-6 with Cassel. Just to throw that out there. :)

But I'll admit Cassel was most likely rushed into the job here.

Yes, Cassel was drafted by the Patriots in 2005, and had 3 years to learn the system under Brady before he was forced into the starting job when Brady went down in game 1 2008... he had played the entire pre-season that year, and then took over in game 1 of the regular season...

Fast Forward to this year, he had 2 weeks to prepare, and try to learn the basic version of our offense... this was a completely different situation than when he took the Patriots to the playoffs. Cassel is a good QB, and had he had more time to learn our system, he likely would have had similar results. He had us in every game and should have won 2 if not all of those games. We are not a typical 3-7 team by any means. When we beat Carolina, the rest of the league will wake up and take notice. We could be one game out of 1st place if Washington can beat the Gmen ( AT Wash - very likely)

now the coach of the panthers says his team is being disrespected with the betting line.

"We'll just take it in stride," Rivera told media Monday. "As I said we'll play them one at a time, and as far as we're concerned everybody's 0-0 and we'll see how it comes out.

"It is a little disrespectful but apparently they know something we don't. We're just going to prepare and get ourselves ready to play on Thursday."

I like statement games.


I would rather talk to you on the phone while I listen to Hank Williams while knawing on a turkey leg down in my basement recording songs listening to Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard sing "It's all going to pot"...it's going to be hard for me...everyone is happy when the Cowboys lose and I have to deal with it....but, it will still be alright.

Let's see if the Cowboys can turn this **** around!

Why do these teams always come in extra motivated against us. :(

really? bc i just went to their message board and theyre saying dallas fans are as delusional as greg hardy to think we have a chance to beat them. i mean i dont blame them. theyre 10-0

Just for giggles I've asked many of my friends who are Panthers fans to put $20 on the game and about 25% accepted. It's a different story when people have to put their money where their mouth is.

Just like many posters on here claiming victory every game until it's time to put up money. Every fan base talks trash and puffs out their chest until money bets come up.

So you stand to gain or lose 20 bucks?:p

I imagine they got a whole ton of action on CAR for a day or two. Everyone is going to bet Cowboys now that we have points.
