Gregg Rosenthal: Cowboys Won't Make Playoffs

[ccb04]

Having already beaten Seattle...and hopefully beating Arizona, should help some potential tiebreaker scenarios.

Anything is possible (the Cards were 10-6 last year & didn't make it)...but I also don't think the Eagles are as good as last year. The Boys D was worse last year overall, and the Eagles offense was better last year...yet Dallas beat them in Philly 17-3, and wound up an Orton Int short of a potential game winning FG in the 2nd contest.

Injuries could derail things...but that can be said of any team.

11 wins might not win the division but it will be enough to make the playoffs. Has an 11 win NFC team ever not made the playoffs?

If we miss the playoffs after starting 6-1, Garrett should not even bother getting on the plane in Washington. No way in hell Jerry could give him an extension after an epic collapse like that. In the 55 year history of the franchise, no team that started 6-1 or better failed to make the playoffs.

We are talking the biggest choke job in franchise history, you think Jerry can call a press conference and announce a new deal for Garrett after that?

Unless it's one of the rare situations were 10-6 or 11-5 doesn't get you in.

He's probably right, at some point we're going to have to depend on Romo to win games, and we've seen what happens in the past when that's the case.

After losing to the Skins this past week, all the games are lose-able from here on out.. except the Jags. We will beat them.

I think the Broncos missed in the mid 80's with 11 wins. There have been a few 10 win teams miss. No NFC team has missed with 11 wins.

one game at a time ok? we take it to the Cardinals and go from there.

Thanks. I think it happen to the Patriots one year as well.

He plays at a level that only 4-5 other QBs in the league can match.

I'm sorry - why is anyone concerned about what Gregg Rosenthal thinks?

All games were losable from week one on. It's just that we've only actually lost two of them.

Funny how the people who were scarce for 6 weeks are showing up now to take potshots, isn't it?

 

[erod]

Losing to Colt McCoy does introduce a piece of 'suck' that was not there previously.

Pittsburgh lost to Tampa Bay in Pittsburgh.

Like Aikman said, he only won seven games in a row once. It happens.

When he is healthy.

He won't be 100% against Arizona.

 

[xwalker]

There need to be consequences for pundits who make failed predictions.

Yes, same for message board posters.

 

[Idgit]

The post I had responded to there hadn't qualified 'when he's healthy.' He's just saying 'at some point.' Which means he thinks Romo will turn into a pumpkin again, regardless, because he doesn't recognize what's actually been keeping us from beating good teams all these years.

 

[Doomsday101]

This guy was hating on us when we were winning. Not surprised he is hating on us after a loss.

I like it, I don't want every idiot in American loving my Cowboys. What is football without a little hate. lol

Stop man, .. that is a game we should have won. We all know it.

It sucks to have lost that game.

Had we been 6-1 and lost to Houston or Seattle, or even the Giants, ... it would be understandable.

We took them lightly and it cost us.

Ain't it thpough. Gotta love the trolls (not).

Don't forget the Saints as well. I don't think it will matter as much because they are .500 but we end up let's say 11-5 division winners and they are 11-5 that will be huge.
