Dak also had a couple of more possible picks that were not.
I guess in the course of the season, WR drops and times throws could've been picked tend to balance out

I think we're ok at 3 tech.

Mike.... Durant needs to play more and we need to sign another vet if available.

Hitchens is awful and our safeties look confused too often.

I haven't really been down on the safety play. By my count, Byron only gave up 1 catch to Reed. The big play that was given up (I think to Crowder) was likely on Carr. Wilcox hasn't had to do much which is fine by me. The issue I have with Church is he's so limited in coverage that it limits the other guyss.

I would go with a 3-tech because I would then move Crawford to the 1-tech under Marinelli's scheme. Although it would be easier to find a 1-tech than a great 3-tech.

Durant started to come along, but he's not running well and I question whether he will ever run well again.

Watched part of Gruden's post game presser talking about Cousins play and he's starting to get that crazy eyed look like he had when RG3 was struggling.

Too bad we didn't lose. Then this thread wouldn't exist.
I know. What's up with these fans on here that immediately want to get rid of players and be negative. They WON the game. A division game on the road. I know it wasn't perfect but I'm proud of the way they played. Oh well. I know I'm enjoying the win

Statistically, Tony Romo is third all time in career quarterback rating. He was elite in 2014. His QB rating was insane. Don't go saying he's never been elite, he got beat by the best quarterback in football and the best defensive player since Reggie White in the 2014 MVP race.
Pretty insane how good he was for an entire year.
To have a full season QB rating of 113 while throwing about 4 times as many TDs vs picks and passing at a whopping 70% completion rate is almost make believe type good.

Then he follows it by being the first player to lead the league in playoff QB rating in the same season.

He had an extremely good year behind an amazing oline and running game in 2014, yes. But 2014 was 2 years ago. This is a "What have you done for me lately?" league. Romo burned us in 2015 and now he burned us again in 2016. He can no longer be counted on to lead this team at QB. This is Dak's team now. BTW... love your signature.

what sucks is he didn't sign the contract the Commanders were offering.

This game would've been very ugly if cousins didn't miss wide open receivers. Our defense needs a complete overhaul.
It is what it is . Unfortunately we won't play Washington and Cousins each Sunday.

It's a much needed win without Romo and hopefully will provide more confidence for Dak and the team moving forward . Dak led us on a 4th qtr comeback again and the defense helped us finish.

If Cousins inability aided in the result . So be it . It doesn't take away from the win . Just as long as fans don't fall into a false pretense we have a defense. It worked out today .

I'm more excited about Dak. And he hasn't made any critical mistakes like we saw Cousins make. We could easily be 2-0 with 2 4th qtr comebacks from Dak.

Fortunately we have two more lesser teams coming up on the schedule . We need to win these because the schedule gets tougher and I imagine our defense wil struggle against greater teams and QB's.

But I'm very excited about Dak. The most excited since Romo took over in 2006. Our future could be bright. This is just his 2nd game as a Rookie. Incredible. Just incredible!!!

This is a good thing to disagree about. I just see a player who is stronger, has a better arm, can run, is very poised, and is extremely smart. He looks like a vet out there to me. If you can look THIS good in your second NFL game, you are special. This kid is a freaking competitor.. a winner.

I agree with that completely. I just like Romo a lot better than you probably do.

I think everyone would agree we need more talent on defense.but you have what you have right now so enjoy a win
...but management shouldn't settle for this crap. Our O is too good too keep being wasted. The wrath is being pointed in the wrong direction when it comes to this team.

Dak has been awsome for a rookie but common, LOL.
Like Parcells would have said, put the anointing oil away, he still hasn't thrown a TD pass in the NFL and he gives us a better chance than Tony? I know you are the ultimate anti Romo, but that is just not true.
How soon we forget his 3rd place MVP season in 2014.

Saying that, Dak could one of the best in the league in a couple of years. What a steal in the 4th round.
My anointing oil is going for $50 a bottle. In 3 years it's going for 3 years $5k.
They should be picking up people left and right...that means dropping equally.

Say what you will about Romo but he isn't even playing because he is old and broken. Screwed us for the 2nd consecutive year, only this time we have Dak and boy is he legit. He gives this team the best chance to win at QB. Oh, and he has thrown td passes, his receivers just dropped them. He can keep running them in.. I don't care how we get them.
No, you cannot use the dropped or whatever excuse only for Dak. You didn't for Romo. Can't have it both ways.

A big part of our O being so good is because that's where we drafted players
We rebuilt the online instead of drafting more for defense. Because of the talent we got I think it was right choice
