After 5 games we stand at 2-3. Our BYE couldn't have come at a better time for us.
We're now 0-3 without Romo and we have 4 games left. Our opponents are @NYG, SEA, PHI and @TB.
Before I breakdown each opponent there have been multiple variances that has led to our 3 game losing streak. IMO if Hardy and McClain are in the entire season we're at 4-1 today. Reality is, we're not. The pieces that arrived yesterday would've paid huge dividends vs ATL and NO and will pay off in our next four games.
Our offense will need to make some changes and I feel our FO will use the BYE week to prep Cassell to come in and take over. Trading for him was a sign that they had some reservations about Weeden who didn't see much preseason action due to a concussion.
Not that it is entirely Weeden's fault, but the team needs a fresh start moving forward.
@NYG:
We shut their offense down in week one without Hardy and McClain. With their added presence I expect a close game we can win.
Vs SEA:
Their offense is as vanilla as Philly's and we shut that down in their house last season as well. With the speed we have coming off the edges it'll help get Wilson closer to his 70 sack season pace. Their DT Jordan Hill will miss several weeks with an injury and Wagner will be nursing a strained pec. I would use Michael heavily in this game since he'd be playing with a chip and has the style we don't see in DM or Randle.
Vs PHI:
If anyone wants to see the blueprint in stopping Philly go see Marinelli. We have that offense pegged and with Hardy, McClain and Gregory back in the saddle it's going to be a long day for Bradford and we can win this one in a 19-16 type score since Philly has a real good defense.
@TB:
This is the most winnable game we have on our schedule and the final game prior to Romo's return. I would expect Dez back and in his return he will draw the attention away from everyone else.
I would love to see a 3-1 run and if that happens we sit at 5-4 with games vs Miami and Carolina to end November. The only challenge is I believe Seattle and Philly will both have BYEs coming into our matchup.
This can happen and until the season is done, I'm still believing in this team.
