I see there's people who say the win is all on Romo and the defense deserves no credit for stopping them on the final two drives of the game. And there's people who say Romo was awful all day and big deal that he made one big throw.

Well, this might sound crazy, but maybe Romo AND the defense played clutch in the final 5 minutes of the game.

I said it in the chat. This is a team win if there ever was one.

Nothing negative I can say. I still thought we'd lose the game after the TD but multiple fourth downs last few drives, great game that the Cowboys don't usually win. Happy.

Nobody said defense doesn't deserve credit you created this to be negative. It's a team game and romo played good all day, had the one bad throw .

amazing game...emotional roller coaster...typical cowboys game but I loved it.
Not going to lie, after that td by romo to murray late in the fourth quarter I thought Cousins would march down the field uncontested.
Defense stepped up MAJORLY.

I created it because the game chat closed when a few people were saying give no credit to the defense and I didn't have a chance to respond in time.

Hopefully the defense can keep it up next week. They looked great in the first half of the Packers game and okay today.

Team win and win they play well they deserve credit and when they play bad they deserve a kick in the ***, this doesn't change how i feel about Romo or the D but this was a good win. People will bring Washington's record into play but with divisional games you have to throw the records out the window. Also don't be surprised if the Eagles lose tonight which would be great for the Cowboys because i don't think the Eagles are a mentally tough team.

Defense? Romo gets all the blame when we lose, so why shouldn't he get the credit? :D

In all seriousness, it was a team win. I didn't view this win as all Romo, just like I didn't view the lose last week as all Romo. As much as people like to credit/blame QBs, the fact is there's 45 other players that effect a game negatively or positively.

Good win, definitely won't hear any complaints out of me. Now if we lose week 17, that's a completely different story haha. :)

They did play clutch. Romo made play after play on that final drive. I wish it wouldn't come down to this though, you won't win a ton of games in the final seconds.

You could see the players on the sideline saying, "*** this coaching bull," and rallying around each other. That's a chemistry builder.

Yeah, where are the post he is referring to where posters said the defense does not deserve any credit? I have not seen one. But, knowing that poster I just consider the source.

It's at the end of the 2nd half game thread.
