- Imagine the things this team could do with a pass rush. Defense is really solid right now, but it could be elite if only we had a pass rush. Demarcus Lawrence can't come back soon enough. We're lucky that we're playing Washington next week, but I wish they hadn't discovered Colt McCoy is a good QB. I wanted him as Romo's backup before he was drafted. Was disappointed when we didn't get him this year.

- Romo has been as money as Dan Bailey. That one interception wasn't his fault, it was completely on Dez, but I knew that like Murray's fumbles would motivate him to make it up to his team or more appropriately I should call it his family. Almost had 4 TDs today on no picks. Not bad for a bus driver...

- This team is family now, and you can tell. Closest Cowboys team I've ever seen. They're really playing for each other out there.

- As I said in the past Gavin Escobar is legit. No idea why he wasn't getting more opportunities until the last two games. Should he have been picked? No. Was he a good player when we drafted him. Yes. Would he be appropriate in a two tight end offense? Yes. Should he be used more? Yes. So should Bailey and Dunbar.

- Would love to see a screenshot of all the people who thought we would have a losing record this year. You should have at least believed in this offense.

- No complaints from Parnell so far. Tyron got abused all game though.

Agree with all except closest. How long have you been a Boyz fan? Not arguing, just asking...

If Tyron got abused all game he would have gave up 3-4 sacks.

He held his own. JPP got one. Big deal.

even that was baffling,the way Tyron lined up before snap was plain nuts against a speed rusher like JPP.

Considering he is playing with a hurt ankle he played ok. Depending on how you count these things, he has given up 3 or 4 sacks this season so he is quite a bit off of his pace of allowing just 1 last season.

I wouldn't say that was on Dez, the ball was underthrown because Romo was being pulled down from the back as he was releasing the ball.

Its a huge difference from some of the teams in the past. This O Line is leading the league in "You shoved my linemate at the whistle so I'm pushing you to the ground scrums". By a wide margin.

basically we dont have a guy who is outstanding at getting off the snap and the speed to get to the QB,Lawrence is the guy who can actually bend around tackles,hopefully he can deliver.

I didn't see any drop-off in RT play with Parnell in there.

I didn't either but I haven't watched the replay yet. I said it in another thread also, the team ran behind the right side on that crucial 3rd down play with 4:00 left. A big difference between Parnell and Free is that with Parnell in the game, the opposing DE is beaten up by the fourth quarter.

Dez falling was 100% responsible for that interception.

But some mediot or homer for another fan will spin it and say, "See romo still throws stupid interceptions." And for those on here ready roll with that he threw the ball before Dez fell at worst it would have been a contested incomplete at best a long gainer that would have killed the giants.

Agree with the other posts- Tyron Smith handled JPP pretty well considering Smith had a bad ankle. And Dez would've had 200 receiving yards if he didn't fall down on the play Romo's unfortunate pick occurred.
