2-3, and Jerry's talking Super Bowl.

How can you not feel sorry for Romo, having to deal with Jethro Clampett constantly muddying the water.

Seriously. The oline is better? They have run the ball for less yards than last year at this time and Romo is on pace to be sacked 40 times. Come on, Jerry.

The Oline isn't just better. It's a good OL. Top half of the league.


As soon as the Cowboys fix 1 problem they have 10 others though.

While I do agree they're improved, some of the same problems still seem to exist. When the line fails, it fails HARD with either jail breaks or a rusher going through nearly untouched.

It Is. The beard and Waters alone are upgrades. Free is playing much better. This OL is building chemistry.

A few of those sacks are simply because Tony held onto the ball and was being ultra conservative.

The Falcons are 1-4 and they're talking playoffs. Teams have to have a positive outlook even if the fans choose to believe differently. There are 11 games left and anything can happen. At this point, it's all about getting to the dance and doing the jig once you get there.

Is he lying? Romo just threw for 500 yards in a single and statistically having one of his better seasons. The OL isn't just about the run game. It's about the passing game, too. As long as the ball is moving, I don't have much to quibble with the OL.

He said Romo gives them the best CHANCE, he didn't say they were going to win it. I'm not completely on board with Jerry, but come on, man!

Prime example of when stats become "Damn Lies"

Our OL is leaps and bounds better.
