I still disagree, with this defense? we can't stop teams without giving up points whether it's a FG or TD and we would need a QB to answer that and I don't think Orton is the man to get that job done.However if our D somehow by some miracle can get turnovers or stops on 3rd down we may have a chance. But It's not likely whats likely is whats been happening the last few years. end of season game to get in playoffs and we Die.

If Dez Is healthy then we have a chance, Orton just needs to get the ball to his playmakers and let them do the rest.

just to add the 2010 D was nowhere as inept as these clowns…..Its pathetic our D is probably going down as the worst in NFL history

We stopped philly. They scored 3 pts. If there is one thing ole monte has figured out, its chip kelly.

Our defense is soo bad b/c we don't run the ball enough and they are constantly on the field.

even when they cannot stop an opposing offense right from te get go all the way to the end of the game? really?

I mean I get the idea of needing to run the ball more because frankly OUR COACHES don't call that enough, not nearly enough, but to say our defense, who makes my jr high team look good, is playing bad because of that is just trying to make a point without thinking first.

The fact that you think beating Washington and NYG this year were big games, do you even watch football? The giants and Commanders are awful!!

you must be a real young fan and pay little attention to the rivalries over the years. the NFC East has always played each other tough no matter what their record was. That is the truth, so you have to throw out the record. been like that for as long as I have been watching this team, back when Everson Walls and To Tall Jones played the game

So you're saying we win a shoot out?

For some reason the defense played their best game of the year against this team in Philly, if they can come anywhere near that performance then we have a chance. Look, with Tony out, we need every bounce of the ball, we need a crazy crowd and everyone on the team to play better than they have this season to get a win. That's asking a lot but that's what I think it's going to take.

Bingo! Hate to pull rank on you kid but you are young. Although I admire and even long for your swagger you don't have a good grasp of history and your remarks on Romo are broad brushed and without context.

When we win it's the defense when we win it's against bad teams when we lose it's because Romo chokes. Never mind all we needed was for that defense to get us just get us one stop and we'd be 11-5.

Somebody needs to introduce you to highlights (I use the term loosely) of Mssrs. Carter and Hutchinson - then come back and make a post with some perspective.

Mccown was playing great football and Romo cost us the game agaisnt GB.

As did Garretts calls the entire 2nd half..as is our defense responsible, since they gave up the points.

You guys act like Romo is Peyton Manning or Aaron Rodgers.

Wow! I didn't even think of that. Maybe he is as good as Brady too...and Orton is as good as Montana

The Rams win and Eagles win were impressive. The Broncos game, despite losing, was also impressive. That's about all I can think of. The Eagles have had more than 3 impressive games though. They're not perfect but they've had a much better season than Dallas.

Much better season? Absolutely not. Style points mean nothing in the NFL. This isn't college football. A win is a win and you move on. If they were having a much better season, this Sunday's game would be meaningless as they would already have the East wrapped up.

This is true. In the 2000s, didn't Dallas have a streak where they beat Washington like 14 straight times or some crazy amount like that? And this was when Dallas sucked and Washington was pretty good. But it didn't matter. We owned them. Cowboys/Skins game are usually always close. NFC East games are tough to win, no matter how good or bad the division is. I'm always happy with a win over an East rival.

Yeah, I kind of ignored his naive comment...and almost, not quite, forgave his blasphemy concerning not watching much football.

They've been 6-3 since Foles took over (6-1 after they dropped the first two when Foles played really poorly). I would call that a much better season. We have a .533 winning percentage with Romo the starter, and they have a .666 since Foles took over.

In film review . "We". actually didn't stop them. Foles did. He couldn't hit the wide open receivers.....but, they were there, wide the freak open.....

That and the fact he suffered a concussion ....
