Dallas might not go all the way with either QB?

[Bleu Star]

It will be when we start playing good offenses again.

But we did play a good offense last week and our D held them to 10 pts. That's definitely something to build upon as we get ready for a playoff push.

I'm really settled on Dak continuing to grow and lead us. I understand the Romo perspective in all fairness but the Romo proponents have not considered his potentially failing as well? What if Romo doesn't step in and light the world on fire? Are there whispers for Dak again? Do we realize the grass isn't always greener and appreciate Dak keeping us in every game starting 11-2? Do you just ride Romo out after making this decision? Here's where I am. Yes we can nit pick Dak but we're 11-2 with the best record in the league. Why I feel good about Dak is that he's kept us in every game. There hasn't been that "flame out" 3-4 int game where we get pummeled going away. Although Dez fumbled and we lost on downs last week, there hasn't been that "walk off interception" that ends the game. In summary, Dak simply keeps us in every game. To this point we always have a chance to win and there's tremendous risk in pulling him despite what Tony "might" bring. It's hard to pull 11-2 with two losses by 4 points to a tough divisional opponent. Also consider EVERY QB struggles and has an occasional bad game including Tony. For all the talk of Dak's recent struggles, consider the opponents, their respective desperation and the fact that we were on the road. I'll call like I see it as the season progresses but I still like where we are right now.

Awesome read. Thanks.

The giants offense is terrible and has been most of the season. They've only played 3 teams with a good offense this season and 2 of them were struggling.

this is what I was trying to say in op.

The OP's post has a lot of truth in it. Many fans have been miserable throughout this amazing season. You can see it in their posts whether we win or lose. No reason to believe they'll be happy over a Super Bowl either because nothing makes them happy.

That's such bs.

 

[Bleu Star]

The defense is the least of my concerns right now.

It will be when we start playing good offenses again.

Not as much as it will be important for the offense to string together some long drives.

If they keep going 3 and out, it wont matter what this defense does vs good teams.

My two cents. I think you both have solid points but we have to at least recognize that the defense has been finding their way. Holding the Gnats to 10 points is no simple task.

I think the Giants offense is ranked in the 20's.

The gnats offense isn't all world but any offense with OBJ in it is a threat. They could have lit us up but we pressured Eli and that didn't happen. Minimize it if you will but I believe in OBJ clowning anyone on any given Sunday.

I agree about giving the defense some credit. It's nice to see them step up for once the last 2 games. I still get nervous when they're on the field though.

 

[Bleu Star]

this is what I was trying to say in op.

That is what I have been saying for weeks now. For whatever strange reason, some think Romo would step in and be all world. I beg to differ. He hasn't played a meaningful string of games in two years, is on the downside of his career, is coming off of his third back injury, and hasn't played all season.

2 plus 3 does not equal 4.

Miserable is a bit strong , displeased is the word I'm thinking would be a better term,I'll be honest about it, I'm displeased not seeing #9 on the field yet I'm head over heels thrilled that we got a guy who wears the #4 and is flying 'team Dallas' through the flak clouds of the desperate closing of the regular season.

I pretty happy with where we're sitting at this stage of the game and it's way beyond my expectations.

I really didn't have an inkling of an idea off the blatant disrespect/seething dislike held by some of my esteemed fellow members towards Tony Romo,it was an eye opener, considering how this team pretty much lived&died by #9,,,, do I think we can make to the super bowl this year, ya,I think we have a real good shot at winning the n.f.c.

Win the super bowl?,,, let's win our conference first.

"YEA TEAM"

 

[Sarge]

The fact that we're even DISCUSSING the issue (Super Bowl) is a good thing. Why some can't just sit back and enjoy this year boggles my mind.

 

[Jake]

That's where we are, unfortunately. Anything short of a 6th ring this season will lead to "If (insert QB here) would've played we'd have won it," posts no matter how the playoff loss occurs (IF it occurs).

Funny thing is if cowboys lose or dont win SB, people will say they made the wrong choice.
But there is a possibility that both Romo and Dak will not win SB or get there, no matter which one is chosen, they will lose at some point.

I dont think either Dak fans or Romo fans have thought of that.

The sad thing is the one chosen, will get all the blame if they dont go all the way.
The other one will be the hero who could have done it.

Now if Tony had taken the team to 11-2, right where we are now, everyone would be estactic,
and just wanting to get past div round to championship game.

Instead we have 50% of fans mad or unhappy cause it was Dak who got us to 11-2.
Looking for anything to criticize him for.

If situation were reversed, and tony got hurt and Dak took them rest of way, then tony would get
most of the credit for getting to SB.

So if tony winds up taking over, will Dak get credit for the SB season or just Tony who only had to
play a few games?

Well who knows, like I said maybe it doesnt matter, maybe neither one can get us to SB and win.
But fans will always think the one that doesnt play is the one who could have done it, but really
that is just speculation.

I think some teams could beat Dallas no matter which QB plays.

Tony barely beat detroit, and had some funky ref calls help out, then lost to GB (2014) also with some bad ref calls.
So just playing tony doesnt guarantee anything. and same is true with Dak.

On top of that either qb needs his team mates to also step up and make plays, not mistakes, and the
coaches have to game plan etc, to give the team the best chance to win.
And the defense & ST has to do their part.

I know if Dak goes all the way, only half the Dallas fans will be happy about it lol.

So you're telling me that a team with no legit #1 WR or true RDE might not make it to the Super Bowl?

What have the Cowboys done recently that anybody thinks we're remotely a lock for a Superbowl?

Even before we clinched a playoff spot some already seemed to think we were a lock for the SB.

It's gone from what team do we want in the Super Bowl to what teams do we fear in the playoffs.

 

[8FOR!3]

Or we could lose this game by 30 start romo next week him get hurt and us still win the super bowl. But if we lose by 1 every fan will overreact

It's one thing to play what-if. But when it becomes an expectation, that's when I take issue with it. It seems like the team is either a Superbowl favorite or a dumpster fire sometimes.

Offence wins games, defence wins championships...the FO needs to quit wasting the early picks in the next few drafts on Garretts offence, Garrett either needs to find better talent in later rounds or learn to coach guys up, which won't happen...

It's quite possible Garrett has taken this team as far as he can take a team...

Yes there 11-2, but also playing their worst football at the wrong time of the year when the legitimate teams appear to be playing their best football, and other than 2014 with Garrett his teams play poorly in December.
