And I love how we try to cite having Romo and Dez healthy as some kind of guarantee we'd have done any better. Romo didn't play well in the games he was healthy for. Dez is taken out of games all of the time via his poor conditioning, his mental capacity and the coaching. It's not like the Cowboys consistently beat competent teams. If Romo and Dez run up against Brady or Rodgers, they're probably not winning. I mean we couldn't even beat Green Bay with Matt Flynn. The Cowboys get fat on the dregs of the league usually.

We were 3-1 with Romo starting, only losing to a team that was 15-1. Meanwhile we were 1-11 without him. It is a GUARANTEE we'd win the division with a healthy Romo and Dez.

Belichick had an 11 win season with the lord of the backups himself.

Mike McCarthy came into Dallas a couple of seasons ago and undressed Garrett with Matt Flynn and held his team together to make the playoffs.

We make excuses, other teams go win games.

It's all who wins the passing efficiency battle. If you're QB goes down and your QB rating drops 50 points, your defense needs to step up and close the gap or you can't win the games.

It's not excuses, it's math.

Jason Garrett has coached the Cowboys for five full seasons, 2011-15. (He took over midway through the 2010 season when Wade Phillips was fired.)

In Garrett’s first three full seasons, Dallas was a combined 24-24.

In his last two seasons, Dallas was a combined 16-16.

In playoff games coached by Garrett, Dallas is 1-1.

In his five full seasons, Garrett, in all games, is 41-41.

That’s what you call Even Steven.

The epitome of mediocrity. The OJT is not working. Sad we have wasted Romo's career on this guy.

Whose fault is it that our defense sucks this badly and our backup QBs are this unable to play then?
