We're 2-0 and missing some absolutely vital players. I've got Cowboys fans around me pushing women and children out of the way as they jump into the lifeboats for the safe waters "giving up on the season" harbor.

I've got no such plans.

I'll be here to watch the team sink or swim until the end of the season, whenever that may come.

It's going to be a battle, but Garrett is as steady a captain as you'll find for troubled waters, and every couple of weeks we get a new piece added back to the crew.

I'm confident the team has seen enough of Weeden now to know what he can and can't do, and put him in position to succeed. He made some nice throws yesterday and 7-7 in relief of one of the greatest QBs of all time is nothing to dismiss, even against the Charmin-soft coverage of one Byron Maxwell.

It's going to be ugly for sure, but if the team can fight through this and get Romo back with a chance to win the East late in the season, everything else could fall into place for a playoff run.

I will be sitting right next to you.

If ever there were a season in Romo's career where he could miss significant time and come back with a chance to win the division, this would be it. I'm not sure I have ever seen a season where the rest of the NFCE looked this bad.

So, if the team finishes 6-10 and the probowl is playing right now, you would still have hope?

I have no faith in Weeden at all.

We're going to do really bad with him at QB.

That said I'll be right there watching the ship sink all the way to the bottom as he sinks us.

Dallas is going to win the NFC EAST!!! Weeden looks the best I have ever seen him, I think Dallas beats the Falcons and the Saints. If that happens Dallas is 4-0. Now I do feel Dallas will get a Butt Kicking when they play the Patriots, but that will put them at 5-1. Dallas will get back McClain, Hardy, Gregory and the defense gets better !! In the second half of the season they should have Romo and DEZ back, then they go into the playoffs strong and Dallas plays good on the road. What does all this mean ? Dallas is still in the hunt to win the Super Bowl !!! GO COWBOYS !!! :starspin:

I don't have a lot of confidence in Weeden, but I also won't be shocked to find out we still have the best starting QB in the division.

If he learns not to tell his running back to avoid scoring and does not get a crucial delay of game call immediately after a time out, he is outperforming Eli Manning.

I am starting to believe our defense has a real shot at elite status. What they have accomplished the first 2 weeks should not be underestimated and considering they will be better on paper in two weeks is scary. This is our second year in Marinelli's system so that is working in our favor as well. If our defense can really be elite then I have no doubt we can put together some wins while we wait for our offense to come back around.

i know this may be homerish of me but i think we will be fine. we'll hopefully be at full health at week 10 and i think weeden can do what is asked of him until then. i think our division being bad is really going to help us out.

I need to see it against a better offensive unit - like the Falcons

I have long believed Eli is overrated, and Bradford doesn't make anyone forget about Montana (except Sal Palantonio)

The best hope is for the defense to continue its stifling ways, and hope the offense can put up at least 17 points, have the special teams contribute at times and score defensively. The defense will need to hold teams to 13 to 17 points, no small tasking at all.

But we can do this......
