I'm just curious to know how many of you there are who point to the 8-8 seasons as being the result of Tony lacking a real supporting cast, and "He can't do it all on his own, this is a team game". I think no fan can doubt at this point, that this has been the main contributor to Tony's lack of post-season successes throughout his career, yet, now some of you are coming along and saying "All we need is Tony back", "He is the engine that makes the car run". Nah, this team needed to step up and help Tony out, and produce a few wins in his absence. It is a team game, always has been and always will be. Tom Brady would struggle with these bunch of goofballs. Tony dissevers hella of allota respect, because he has truly carried this team all these years, and nothing has made that more poignant, then last night's game.

Point I'm making, is that the team as a whole just isn't well coached or something, and they would've still found creative ways to lose, even with Romo in the lineup.

I think that if the team wasn't well coached they wouldn't be in these games. I also believe that Romo is worlds better than the QBs we are fielding right now, so the offense would be noticeably better with him. In close games that's enough to win. And in this league the talent gap between the best and the worst is not a lot - a player, and especially at QB, of Romo's caliber tips the balance in our favor.

Chad Hutchinson wouldn't threat defenses more than Weeden & Cassel. Thats how far back in the line we are talking.

People that think Brady would make this offense look better seriously overestimate this scheme and play calling. If you recall a kid named Danny Amendola....who could not even make this team...go on to have 90 yard catch seasons elsewhere (I think the Rams or Eagles) and has been effective in New England...I repeat....who could not MAKE this team...or Martellus Bennet....who could not bust a grape here...or Fasano etc...Our approach to offense and the passing game is not something Tom Brady would want any part of.

You take Bradys same weapons...and put them in Dallas....and play the game the way we do...and they would struggle as well.

tom brady would push heavily for an upgrade of the talent. he would agitate because that's the kind of guy he is.

This coaching with Romo, puts up 300 passing yards and 24+ points a game.

This coaching with Cassell or Weeden, get under 200 passing yards and under 20 points a game.

Now, where's the problem?

this goes to show the offensive system putrid. the game planning is horrible, the play calling is lacking. unfortunately our system isnt designed to put our players in a good position to be successful. romo has been making up for all of this. unlike new england, you plug a back up in and still get 10+ wins.

I don't know that anyone can save the season (depends how bad this division really is), but if nothing else he'll save a few WR's from having virtually nothing in their stat columns.

True, it's the ultimate team game. And yes, they absolutely should have won at least 1-2 games by now.

But they are barely losing these games, so it's fair to think adding one of our very best players at by far the most important position most likely would have and probably will turn most close losses into wins.
Are we going to run the table when he returns...imo, no chance.
5-2 is very possible, but just may not be enough.

I believe what you've learned from these 5 games without Romo is that Romo is so damn good that he hides not only our lack of all around talent but he makes up for a lot of the lack of coaching ability as well.

Romo carries this otherwise below average team to make it seem like a contender.

So in a game we lose by a point, having Romo wouldn't have made a difference?

Having Romo back will make a difference. We will win some games. But his absence isn't the only problem with this team. Making the playoffs seems like a very long shot at this point. Romo will be rusty when he comes back. He won't go undefeated.

I'm not touting Romo to save the season, but I've long felt that teams need to both pass effectively and stop the pass effectively to win. We haven't been able to do both at the same time for a long while now.

Finally, we're playing good defense, so I have some hope when Romo comes back the combination will finally be effective.
