This is too funny, I guess people had a much higher appreciation for George Selvie, Henry Melton, and Jeremy Mincey than I did.
Let us not forget the 6 world changing sacks of benson mayowa , definitely a top defence right there

He’s not going get hit right? Because we ALL know what happens when he got hit..
The VAST majority of the time...absolutely nothing happen(ed).

He took a much harder shot in the 2016 preseason, than what hurt him (awkward positioning not force). Got drilled against Miami.

Give me 2014 Romo on this team and we'd be Super Bowl favorites.

I love hypotheticals that have zero basis. Why didn't Romo ever actually do anything with the teams he actually had? Y'all magically place him in these scenarios and tell us how great he would be. While ignoring he never amounted to anything in the playoffs. 2014 team especially on offense was more complete. 2014 Murray >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 2022 Zeke. Receivers plus a prime Witten >>>>>> this group. Stop.

Cowboys fans love building up Romo as some mystical creature that was godly. He's directly responsible for allowing Eli Manning to get the opportunity to win 2 Super Bowls. Both times, Dallas could have and should have knocked them out but Romo lost all 3 games (2007 playoffs, both games in 2011).

Romo would have hoisted Lombardis in 2016, 2018 and now 2022. So this will be the 3rd Championship Prescott has cost us.

That bothers me.

Romo was WAY better than Dak. This narrative of him choking is based off the very few times it happened. Nobody ever talks about all of his 4th quarter comebacks, do they?

Also, Romo NEVER had a defense. Same for Dak, but he's had better supporting casts IMO.

If Romo could have played the games with his mouth open all game he would have been the best mouthbreather in the NFL since he couldn't mouthbreather is the best.

You couldn’t be more wrong! Lol Even that Romo couldn’t get past a one legged Aaron Rodgers. Romo had a 2-4 playoff record and never won a divisional round game. How soon some of you forget.

Both of them are/were good. Neither is/was good enough. . . . Book it.

You forgot the short fields they were left with after muffed punt, constant three and outs, etc. hard to play good d when offense won’t move the ball to get some rest.

It was different than that. They were bad.

Seems the Giants also built a SB roster and actually won that SB. Maybe Crayton could help get it done a little right?


No arguments from me about Crayton’s 2nd half performance but when our defenses absolutely had to mk a stop, it couldn’t. We lost the game when our defense left the Giants eat all the clock in a long drive at end of first half.

However, the most important reason we lost that game and every important playoff since is when we have a great regular season, we get unwarranted arrogance. That hubris and arrogance is a reflection of our idiot owner and the culture he built. Rather than have a strong, empowered head coach who could remind the players the Cowboys have won zero significant playoff games in 26 years and they must work hard to reach an NFC championship game, we have Jerry doing 20 interviews a week and mentioning Super Bowl in every one of them.

That is why it is a lie to say “Jerry really wants to win”.

2007 defense
9th yards allowed per game
13th points allowed per game

2022 defense
5th yards per game
3rd points per game
2nd in takeaways (1 behind the Eagles)

Not even remotely comparable
1. The 2007 defense was almost top ten in those two categories.
2. Not even remotely close is illogical since the current defense has to finish the season and the numbers are quite close.

Yeah. No.

Securely in the top 5 in all rankings is worlds away from being "almost" in the top 10.

You made an inaccurate statement. It's ok. I've done it. We all have.

Just own it and move on.

Let’s let this season play out since the current numbers are not final season stats which is why I threw the challenge flag, obviously.
