The Cowboys would have been eliminated had they lost that game. How wasn't it an elimination game?


To be an "elimination game" both teams have to be facing elimination. It has to be like a playoff game with the winner moving on and the loser staying home. I could be wrong but I don't think Philly had yet played so even had the Cowboys lost there was still a chance they would still be in contention if Philly did lose. I don't believe the Cowboys entered that game knowing Philly had already won.

Yeah, I'm positive that all involved were focused on the Philly game on that final drive.

I don't know if it would be appropriate or not to post the video, but my reaction to this post is similar to the Indiana Jones face melting scene.

How about just taking a selfie or a video and post it.

Some plays and some games count more than others.

No they do not! Learn the damn game. Every play in every game counts, not just the plays or the games that you come here to troll on about Romo.

Cowboy fans used to believe this.

Yeah back in the day when championships meant more than stats/passer ratings. Heck we never even heard about passer ratings during Staubach's day.

Cowboy fans and any other fan of any team should know that every play in every game counts, not just the plays or games that they use to ignore the concept of TEAM. But, you don't take that into account. smh

Wrong. If the Cowboys are facing elimination, then it's an elimination game for them regardless of the situation for the other team.

Had they pulled out the KC game couldn't they have been resting starters in the last game? You don't think a team that has had their season come down to the last game of the year three years straight understands just how important every single game is?

Is that why you troll this site, to get your jollies off? When you blame the one tree for the whole forest looking bad....you have problems.

Perhaps you need a check up from the neck up.

Had the Cowboys pulled out the KC game they would have looked flat the following week vs St Louis and lost. That's the MO of this team.

Dallas has lost six of these kinds of games with Romo. In 2011 and 2012, we became the first team ever to reach 8 wins in consecutive seasons ranking as low as we did in pass defense and rushing TD. In 2007 and 2009, our defense allowed over a 125 rating in a playoff game. Teams are 0-67 when they do that.

So for four of the six losses, they're talking about Romo as if they expected him to do something that no QB has ever done anyway.

If the Cowboys are facing elimination and not their opponent then it's not a "elimination game."
