Our Next 5 games

[Doomsday101]

Are you going to be at the game? If not, then you have no impact on this game. You're over thinking it, Winston and Weeden are in control of how the game goes. It's not all on them but they have the lion share of the game in their hands, if you don't accept that, then that's on you, but it's the truth.

QB can lose a game fast he can't win it on his own. The truth? according to who you, that is your truth. Fact is there are a lot of players on the field their play impacts the entire game. Weeden controls so much as any QB only controls so much outside of that he has no control over what defense does or special team. QB can put you in winning FG range he has no control over the FG being made or missed. He can lead you down the field and help put points on the board he has no control over what the defense does. You buy into that non sense the TV talking heads put out there

Only guys who don't know football say it's QB vs QB . Don't waste your time on this. Guys who say stuff like that don't know the game and it's not worth responding.

I agree it is simple mind BS with all of the QB wins, they are team wins. Hell Romo has put up 5 TD games and 500 yards only to lose you think defense unable to do their job actually contributed to the loss? QB are important and when talking backup teams will put them on a shorter leash because they do not want the player coming in making big mistakes that will cost you the game.

I'm not buying into anything, I'm stating facts. The QB has the lion share of the football game in his hands, it doesn't make him solely responsible and I never claimed it did, but the reason why they get the most praise and the most blame is because they control the majority of the game. Period.

Yes they control the offensive side of the ball he QB does not touch the ball at all in 2 out of the 3 units. He touches on offense and he can do more to lose a game quicker than any position but he can't win jack on his own that is why every coach in football will say they get too much credit for wins and too much blame for loses. And that is why crediting QB with wins and loses are stupid. he may touch the ball half the time with in a game and the other half of the time he has no effect at all on what happens.

Take Brady, Rodgers, Romo, Brees, or any other top QB in this league and replace them with a Brandon Weeden, your team goes from a winner to a loser. No other position on field has that kind of impact. Look at GB without Jordy Nelson and Davonte Adams, they're undefeated. Put Jordy Nelson and Adams back on the team and replace Rodgers with Weeden and see how many games they win. Put Dez on the field with no Romo and see how far this team gets with Weeden back there. Even take Eli off the field and replace him with Weeden and they don't win a game.

I have seen defensive teams who put their teams in SB with little help from QB. There is no doubt with Romo the coaches give him a lot of leeway and with a backup they will keep them on a shorter leash because they do not want them making the big mistakes that gives you no chance at winning. Again a QB can do more to lose a game than any player on the team. The top QB are making the adjustments they are changing the plays the backup no so much. Cowboys and all teams ask more from others when they have to play the backup. Myself I think Weeden has done enough thus far to give his team a chance at winning games hell put 28 points up even from Romo I expect the defense to pull their weight they didn't.

NO game Weeden puts them in a position to win defense did what? allowed a simple wheel rout to a RB who goes untouched. Weeden is not carrying this team he can do a lot to help them he is not going to put the team on his shoulders nor do any of the backups yet you can win

The problem is that the Cowboys don't lean on their defense, this team leans on the play of the QB. This defense is Jekyl and Hyde, they can't be trusted. The Cowboys go as Romo goes, that's how this team is constructed. Brandon Weeden has played like Weeden, he has driven the bus admirably but in order for the Cowboys to be successful, the QB play has to be dynamic. Playing it safe isn't going to get it done with this team because the defense and special teams isn't great.

and it is Rod job to get them playing better that is why we went out and got Hardy that is why we drafted Gregory and why we drafted Byron Jones. I'm not saying the Cowboys need to be the 85 Bears but damn you score 28 points you better believe the defense should be expected to do their damn jobs. That is not on Weeden nor was the NO game the defense are paid pros they have a job to do and should be expected.

He can only do so much, Gregory and Hardy will help but look at that secondary. Church and Wilcox are terrible in space and can't cover, while Claiborne and Carr are penalties waiting to happen. Any competent QB will shred that secondary if the pass rush is picked up. I'm not so much as blaming Weeden as I am saying that without Romo this team is going nowhere. Just seeing Weeden out on that field gives the other teams an extra boost of confidence. Even if we get up on teams, we'll never be able to put our foot on their throat because the game plan will become conservative and predictable and it will allow any team to catch fire and eventually overtake them.

 

[Bullflop]

Looks like we should win vs. BYE. I heard they're terrible.

LOL -- that one should turn out to be a scoreless tie.

 

[cowboyuptx]

To me, all the games are in fact winnable... But the division games will be most important, especially the Giants game. I think the Giants might win 10 games if they beat us.

I think we have a good shot, because I see us finishing between 5-2 and 7-0. If Romo's truly healthy by the Miami game, and we're still in it, then I have faith that he will lead the team to a strong finish.

 

[mldardy]

I wouldn't call the Falcons and the Bills next to nobody.

The Bills and Commanders and the upcoming game against the 49ers are the games I'm talking about. And the Bills are next to nobody. Don't tell you actually think they are good.

 

[ActualCowboysFan]

3-6 would be very difficult to come back from considering they have @GB, @Buffalo, Carolina, and the Commanders twice in the last 7 games.

If they end up going 1-4 over the next 5 games, I think you can write the season off.

They'd be favored in all of those but one. Not sure where the irrational fear of the post Romo return schedule is coming from.

 

[Beast_from_East]

A Brandon Weeden led team is not beating Seattle, don't even set yourself up for failure.

Dude has never won a game he started in his entire career

This is who Garrett hand picked to be the backup to a QB coming off two back surgeries and is 35 yrs old

 

[Beast_from_East]

vs NE
BYE
@ NYG
SEA
PHI
@ TB

We might beat Tampa Bay.

Might.

But I don't know that I'd hold my breath on even that one.

My thoughts exactly

Tampa is our only shot at a W

vs NE Weeden Loss
BYE Weeden Tie
@ NYG Weeden Loss

First, why are you using rolleyes?

Second, you said "played" (past tense) not "upcoming games."

Third, the Bills are 2-2 with one of those loses coming against the Giants. The Skins are 2-2 with one of those loses coming against the Giants. The Cowboys are 2-2 with one of their wins coming against the Giants in a game the Giants should have won. Exactly what is your definition of "next to nobody"? Exactly how are you determining whether a team is good beyond a team's record and who they've played?

 

[crashintonickdm]

You may be able to toss the Pats game right out the window if you make the assumption (dangerous, I know) that the Pats sweep the NFC East. The real problem is that we're the only team in the division to play either Seattle or Green Bay. Thanks, first place schedule.

Seattle is winnable. They're not as untouchable as they used to be, especially on the road.

Well be full strength by Green Bay and I expect us to win out. We owe them.

I rolled my eyes because you assumed I was talking about the Falcons which I wasn't.

Second that's not what I said. If you want to penny pinch on every word I post then that's your problem. What I meant is the Giants can get on a roll because they have had a soft schedule meaning past and future games.

Third the Bills are not good. Great they are 2-2. They have a lot to prove before I start saying they are a good team.

 

[ActualCowboysFan]

most likely this season is over and if by some miracle they would happen to get in the playoffs it don't matter because they are not going on the road and beat the packers or cardinals or falcons.

There's a lot of crazy flowing around right now but you're definitely taking it up a notch.
