I agree! Get well soon, Romo!

 

[CCBoy]

So much for the monotone of Romo held Weeden back.

 

[Sarge]

Agreed. However, those who said Arizona was overrated really had no clue what they were talking about.

 

[dupree89]

I wasn't overly impressed with our 3rd down defense, either. But not having a competent QB today was the biggie. The guy just can't play.

What mouth breather said that?

 

[WoodysGirl]

Agreed. However, those who said Arizona was overrated really had no clue what they were talking about.

I thought the Cowboys and Arizona matched up fairly well and it would've been a good game, no matter who won. When Romo went out, then there went any competitive advantage I thought they might've had. Weeden proved me right.

Did someone HONESTLY say that?

 

[skinsscalper]

I hope we never ever see Weeden on the field again. EVER!

Yes ... sour grapes.

Maybe we wouldn't have won with a healthy Romo. The Cards are 7-1. Not a team to have taken lightly.

The Cardinals are good, but because they didn't fear our passing game, they would load up on the run and basically shut us down. Still, Murray got 76 yards, which isn't bad just not up to his usual numbers. But if Romo were in, I think we beat the Cardinals by at least two touchdowns. Our defense play well, all things considered. We just couldn't sustain a drive.

We are a good team, but not a deep team. We need everyone healthy, or we're in trouble down the stretch. And the one person we need healthy more than any other is Tony Romo.

Brandon Weeden was bad

Cleveland desperate for a QB since Brian Sipe dumped this guy in two years. Tells you all you need to know.

3.) Patrick Peterson might be the best cornerback

Has owned Dez everytime they played.

Yes. Arizona is a good team. Was looking forward to this game before tony got hurt

1.) Tony Romo, get well soon. Like, real soon. The Brandon Weeden start went much worse than anyone was anticipating. Weeden was 9-of-19 passing for 96 yards, 1 INT and 40.7 QB rating through three quarters. He finished 18 of 33 for 183 yards, 1 TD and 2 INTs. Much of that came on the meaningless final drive. Weeden’s outing Sunday afternoon showed just how valuable Romo is to this team’s success. It also showed the value of having an accomplished backup like Kyle Orton. Dallas is obviously in significant trouble if Romo suffers further injury and is lost for the season.

2.) A streak was going to an end Sunday afternoon in Arlington and it ended up being DeMarco Murray’s run of at least 100 rushing yards in eight consecutive games. The Cardinals extended their streak of not allowing a 100-yard rusher. Arizona has the NFL’s best mark in that category, which is now up to 18 straight games. Murray ran hard, there just weren’t enough holes or time of possession for him to extended his mark.

3.) Patrick Peterson might be the best cornerback in the game, but even a player with his elite ability should not have been able to prevent Dez Bryant from making a catch until the game’s final series. Not since Nov. 25, 2010 has Bryant been held without a single catch in a game. It nearly occurred again on Sunday. Bryant scored on a 3-yard fade from Weeden with 1:08 remaining and he was so unimpressed that he didn’t even throw up the X, his signature TD celebration. Bryant was targeted 10 times. He caught two passes for 15 yards.

Put me down as not knowing what I'm talking about then I guess.

I was indifferent going into the game but I'm confident now that Arizona is overrated.

Amen to that.

I think it's hard to make heads or tails of the the nfc right now... we're barely halfway through......

Cole Beasley running wide open right in the middle of the field. U gotta figure romo sees him at least more than once

 

[AdamJT13]

I wasn't overly impressed with our 3rd down defense, either.

We allowed far too many third-and-long conversions.

Up until the second half last week, we had been great on offensive third downs and good enough on defensive third downs. Since then, we've been terrible on third downs offensively and defensively, which might be the main reason we've lost two straight

Theri d-line easily beat our o-line. That is a major concern.
