Orton did a good job filling in. Almost pulled it off.
He had a clean pocket partly mainly because he got rid of the ball so fast.
With yet another moral victory, the Cowboys will charge headfirst into the imaginary feel-good playoffs for losers.
But yes, Orton did play well. As well as you can expect a guy who hasn't played in 2 years to play.
I thought the throw to Witten was behind him tooFirst pick was on Witten, second on Orton. There is no way to dispute this.
In the first half, cause Murray was running well. The second half, it was the same exact replica as Green Bay.

Orton is a waste of money that could be going to a more critical area. He played OK but didn't get the job done. He's a failure.

Ok, well we can agree to disagree then. I saw a QB who got rid of the ball very fast all night and it had nothing to do with the running game or Oline IMO. He looked very crisp and even got the defense to jump offsides 3 times. When was the last time you saw Romo do that? Orton even ran for a first down... lol.
Sure.. And pretty much just settled for field goals the whole first half, despite Murray going off... Sounds familiar... Against the blitz, we just tossed it up to Dez on third and long unsuccessfully multiple times. The only time we had success scoring TDs was when we went up the seams and the drag rout to Dez. We are successful with Romo doing that...
Btw, it was clearly part of the game plan to attack short and be cautious. The team was practicing for that, like the first time they played the Commanders this year to handle the blitz. Reality is, Dallas has never been really bad on its first series of play calling, it's what happens after that and onwards. They resort to the same horrendous tendencies.
My hats off to this guy. He comes in there after not starting since 2011 and throws for 358 yards and 2 td's. Sure he choked at the end but I thought he played very honorably for most of the game. He got the defense to jump offsides 3 times, never hiked the ball with no time on the clock, made some great throws, and played with confidence the whole time.
I think many people out there thought we would get beat badly but that wasn't the case and Kyle was a big reason for that. Was a very enjoyable game to watch.
I honestly don't think Romo would have played any better than Kyle. 358 yards and 2 td's was very solid. He did a few things out there better than Romo IMO. Like getting the ball out much quicker, not hiking the ball with zero seconds on the clock, getting the defense to jump offsides 3 freaking times, etc. That is sad when Orton is nothing more than a backup and Romo is a 108m QB. Think about it.
By that criteria, so is Tony Romo
Romo stats in the Commanders game. 170 yards, 1 td, and 1 int. 72.9 QBR.
Nothing against Orton, he played his game, but although you won't admit it, we win this game by 17 points if Romo plays.
