I have a feeling that next week's game plan will be about as varied as a young Nolan Ryan's pitch selection.

Rest up, Zeke. .
We really need to give him the ball 30-35 times a game.

Pitt runs Leveon Bell into the ground.

We used the 4th overall pick on Zeke. He should touch the ball as much as humanly possible.

Damn, where do the Lions rank? Theres a damn good chance we lose these next two games if Dak doesnt get it together

Loosing is the plan so they can go to Romo. They will do it this way because they don't have the stones to admit Romo gives them the best chance to win. Next week like last week is all about throwing Dak under the bus. Sad but true. I would go another Route but then again I have balls Garrett n Linehan do not.

Will not happen watch them pull Zeke out on critical 3rd downs so Zeke can't bail Dak out. That's exactly what they will do n pray for a loss.

We win this one fairly easy.

When they do I order all to calm down. You're a fragile battered fan base. The bad times are over.

Very good chance the Cowboys end up the Wildcard heading into the playoffs.

What are the scenarios to clinch the division? Dallas has to win 2 or need a Giants loss and a win, is this correct

Even if they knew there was a chance that they could switch to Romo, they wouldn't say that publicly. There's no doubt the plan is to stick with Dak and hope he works it out. But if they aren't at least considering the possibility of using Romo if Dak struggles -- at least in the playoffs -- then they're willing to sacrifice the season for one player's ego.

Just remember what Gary Kubiak said last December: "Brock's our quarterback, and nothing has changed from that standpoint. The team knows that Brock is our quarterback."

A few days later, Kubiak benched Brock Osweiler with the Broncos losing in the third quarter, and Peyton Manning started the rest of the way. (They won that game and every game after that.)

I can't figure out why people are so opposed to keeping their options open.

If we get back to the offensive production we've had most of the season, we should definitely win this game. Tampa's offense is very average aside from Evans. Of course, expecting our offense to snap out of the funk is a big question at this time.
I really think they will. I truly do. Garrett, as hard as I've been on him in the past, will get this group going again. Hopefully, we get a little more creative on offense, and run the ball down their throats. How is their run defense?

there defense has not been as good on the road.

Brent Grimes and Chris conte are starters in the secondary. I have to believe regardless of numbers that matchup favors Dallas.

Not to toot my own horn, but I've been saying for a damn month to watch out for this team, when many members here scoffed.

Equally disturbing, the dismissive attitude towards Jameis @gmoney112 (crazy, ain't it, bro)

All of a sudden, with a loss after 11 weeks, now, these guys are a threat. GTHO. These dudes (the Bucs) are incredibly legit.

As a matter of fact, I've been on their bandwagon since preseason, and already consider Jameis a top-5 QB. He is so young, too. A prodigy. A true phenom.

Bucs are the future of the NFC (along with ourselves, and possibly the Eagles).

Everything was going good until you said eagles as the future haha

We'll be ok. Road games are very difficult. We should be able to handle the Bucs and Lions at home with a strong running game and a superior defense. The only way Tony plays is if Dak gets dinged. Nobody said it would be easy, and that 11 game winning streak didn't get here by accident. We faced some tough challenges along the way. We should get through this rough patch and come out streaking going into the playoffs. We're healthy, young and hungry. Couldn't ask for anything more.

LOL, the Eagles are not the future of anything. Chip made sure of that.

You don't watch football outside of the Boys, do you? They have a great young team. QB, defense, decent line with Lane not suspended. Similar to the Bucs last season. They get some receiver help, shore up their OL and they will be competitive with us.

They (Roseman, Eagles GM) also rid themselves of the stench that Chip left them with (sadly)

Wake up. It's okay to look outside the box, brother.

Edit -- And HELL NO am I saying Wentz is Jameis, but he will be a good one (more likely than not)

Dak would be benched and Romo would be our starter going into next year with Dak as the backup.

I doubt Stephen Jones would fire himself it was his idea to go with Dak when Romo was healthy. It had a good solid foundation to it. We were winning no need to rush Romo back and expose him to injury. Everyone thought it wouldn't be hard to re insert Romo the 3rd highest QBR in football. Then the ratings started going up. Then the media dared promising a media and fan backlash if Romo came back in a winstreak. Some even insinuating fans would riot. Then the improbable happened Dak just kept winning. Now the coaching staff could easily put and end to it all simply holding a press conference stating Romo is simply a better option but that takes too much balls balls Garrett n Linehan do not have. So know they are pressed to make sure Dak looses by putting together very conservative game plans and taking Zeke off the field on critical 3rd downs so Zeke can't bail Dak out then pray for a loss. One loss down. One more to go.

Their LBs can cover, this is a real tough matchup and they will follow the Giants lead in blitzing Dak.

Can they take on Martin, Fred and Leary second level blocking is the important part as I don't think their DT will demand double teams like NYG did.

We don't use out backs for anything other than flares, short curls and dump offs and I will take Witten against any LB in the NFL. They don't cover better than Wagner and Wright.
