I laugh at the loser mentality fans are still showing this team. I you cant bring yourself to believe in this team by now this season then you never will. IM not talking bout years past and all the bull alot of you bring up and love to bring up. Im talking about this specific team. All yr this team has fought back from early misakes and have come back and gone on to be victorious. ALL YEAR. Some of you arent fans, maybe you are all i know is im enjoying every cowboys game im watching right now. Watching this team grow together is just something that some of us saw starting in 1991. They were young and they got better. Got beat in the playoffs but you knew something was there.

This OL is by far the best in the NFL. Really think Tyron/Leary/Fred/Martin should all be starting in the probowl. The OL gave Romo nearly 8 seconds to throw the ball on 2 different plays on that winning drive. Fredrick running all the way down the field ahead of Dunbar on that screen was amazing in itself. Wasnt this guy supposed toi have one of the sowest 40 times ever at the combine? Martin is just dominating everybody, He is probably playing like the best OL in the NFL right now. Leary and Tyron form the best left side in football. Its just funny that after the miami game in PRESEASON there were couch GMs and kitchen HCs who were saying this OL was overrated and was going to crumble.

NO secret that i have never been a Romo fan but the guy is worth that 25mil next yr if he's playing like he does now. Guy is clutch and isnt trying to be the hero anymore. He's trusting his teammates. And that was his biggest problem before.

I dont know wat to make of Dez anymore. Giants didnt do anything special against him. They loaded up the box all night so he was singled th majority of the game. He's not worth 15mil a yr if you ask me. If thats what he's asking i would hope Dallas would try and trade him for picks. He makes some of the best plays in football at times, but disappears far too much. Im sure there are some doubles on him. But nobody is going to tell me teams are doing anything over the top because its the run tht they fear first. Love Dez but i just dont think he worth what he thinks he is. I hope he's reasonable and stys a Cowboy tho.

IM wondering if Melton really is back from that ACL completely just yet. Nobody can convince me tat Crawford is a better DT then Melton. The burst off the snap and the pentration Crawford has is a step behind Melton. Melton with his low signing bonus will be restructured to float most of that 9mil into a signing bonus. Would not be suprised one bit if Melton has a base salary near the vet minimum. Melton has 5 sacks in limited time thats crazy to think about. Crawford has zero in nearly or probably double the snaps Melton has.

Crawford has 20 tackles
Melton has 11 tackles 5 sacks and 2 fumble recoveries.

Thats called a big production gap. Crawford is a beast against the run. But gives you close to nothing in a passrush. Dallas issues are passrush right?

Those two should be starting together. With McClain and Hayden coming in the 2nd rotation.

Seems like Lawrence is invisible in this defense. MIncey since Lawence's return has played better. Gotten more pressure and as seen more playing time.

I think Next yrs LBers will be:
SAM : HItchens
MIKE: McClain
WILL: Lee

Carter just seems like he knows his time in Dallas is done. Going thru the motions doing his job and going to the sindelines and seems lifeless. Thats usually what happens when you cant stay on the field. I would say the same can be said for Lee but He is on another planet from Carter. Lee WHEN healthy is the best LBer in the NFL. I believe tho that him playing the WILL will get him out of them situations where he's been injured.

DAllas really needs to kill this Wilcox experiment already. The guy is bad. IM sorry i know there are stil some fans still holding onto his jock like a trophy but he's bad. at this point i would be much more impressed if Dallas just switched it up and moved Church over to SS and slid Moore over to the FS. Moore did line up at FS when he was with NE by the way. Was in packages but still has showed he can play the spot. They wont do it, so i hope they just draft a FS or sign one in FA. Please?

Was very IMpressed with Marinelli tonight. Giants looked like they were going to go on a rout tonight and then Came the double team most of us were screaming for the in the 2nd half and Odell was taken out the game. Marinelli started calling them inside stunts and the sacks started to come easy.

Harris is a very good ST player. returning and covering kicks.

Nobody can convince me tht the NFL and its refs didnt try to steal this game for the giants. Those calls were blatant tonight. But at the end even the NFL nor the refs could lie to the public when you have HD cameras zooming in on plays. Even on the fumble that wasnt according to the refs you could clearly see him still not down when the ball was out. Commentators were even calling it a joke.

Whoa now. I thought Crawford has been playing GREAT. And if you're judging him on his play today HE'S the one coming back from injury. Not Melton. Granted, he's probably still recovering but Crawford has been GREAT. I wouldn't be so quick to judge his play based on sacks. The guy is a disruptive force out there.

All confused by your post. Hard to come away from that game and think negatively about Dez or Crawford.

I think you have to give Dez his money. His too good to let walk.
You can have bad games as a player just like the
defense was having a bad game first half.

Yap on the fan thing. I was watching the moaning [chat] with some interest.
I think what happens is a couple of bad plays together and it blows their skirts
over their heads.To me it's less bad fans and more just freakin out and expecting
more of old sameO, sameO. It does take away some of the joy of pullin for your team.

Crawford is decent. BUt clearly not the player Melton is. After one game? Dez has dropped alot of balls this yr, has ran lazy routes on a few occasions that have caused INTs and doesnt seem to know how to cut off his route when
Romo is in trouble. He can make spectacular plays, but has been taken out of games this yr by single coverage. Crawford has a good motor and is strong as an ox. But he is never going to get you sacks. You dont think Crawford would be better starting along side Melton then Hayden?

I mean honestly I don't know how important starting really is. I think snaps are more important than starting and it seems like just from watching the game that Melton and Crawford get a lot of snaps out there and the most on that interior.

I don't know man.....I can see talking about Dez two games ago. I Was frustrated with him but its hard to be too crazy about his past 2 weeks.

You sure about Dez? Dude has over 30 touchdowns the last 3 years, nearly 300 receptions, 4800 yards, I mean what do you want from him? He produces like a top 3 receiver, he should be getting paid like one.

Dez runs one of the most vanilla tree routes in the NFL. Why do you think the better defenses in the NFL have taken him out of games? He is one of the better WRs in the league. But he's not a top 3. H's like Alshon Jefferies, You throw it up and hes going to come down with it. But he isnt going to adjust any route or recognize a double team and how to beat it like CJ and AJ Green do right? We saw what one of them WRs was like tonight in Odell. Dez isnt that type of WR. He's not a complete WR. He's the Alshon Jefferies type. Thats not a bad thing clearly. But you dont pay Alshon Jefferies 15 mil a yr either right?

So you take ODB over Dez right now?

Are you just making stuff up? Dez has made every kind of catch and ran every kind of route in the book. He's caught a drag for a TD, a long pass for a TD, a fade for a TD, a stop route for a TD, a slant for a TD, a post for a TD, a corner for a TD, I mean what hasn't he done besides stand on his head and catch the ball?

And for the record, you see CJ and AJ make double cover catches because their QBs suck and actually throw it into double or triple coverage when most of the time it is ill advised. I guess that's why Stafford throws 1000 interceptions every year.

lol at this guy. Where was Calvin today? where was the great routes and complex route tree? I'm sick of Dez bashers not knowing that EVERY we disappears. Where was Odell when that double team got on him? Fans like you make me wish Dez left. AJ green. please.

Dez been making the plays Dez usually makes? Dez has had 4 big games Jax, Tenn and the NY games.

in games vs AZ, NO, SEA, SF,WASH Dez had a combined 16 catches 207 yrds 4 tds 4 of them teams are probably playoff teams.
