Those touting Romo as savior to season

[Crown Royal]

This team is better than those 8-8 teams.

I don't know why you have only one like, but this is by far the most reasonable conclusion.

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.

way to double talk! Bravo!

Let me spell it out easily

Tony Romo + Supporting Cast = WINS

Tony Romo - Supporting Case + Horrid Defense + Poor O-line = 8-8

You following where we're headed now?

Good teams would be able to sneak a win or two without Romo. Dallas is not a good team. The point I was getting at, is that the supporting cast will still find a way to let Romo down, with or without him.

I find it hilarious how practically everyone on this board is always on 'edge'...you must be no exception.

How many times in Tony's prime has his defense held the other team to 13 points in back to back weeks while also sporting an elite offensive line?

This team is 15-5 over the last 20 games Romo has played.

This is a championship roster.

Shame.

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

Dez might have 150 catches and 25 TD's with Brady and there scheme.

Well hopefully we can win the next 2, Romo comes in and gets us the division, and then on to the SB. Would make this early season a lot better to stomach!

 

[cowboyschmps3]

I think just having him on the field gives everybody hope, you can tell how much of a difference he makes on the field he makes a 7-9 8-8 team into a 11-5 team.

You are totally blowing over the injuries that happened to this team. Our defense is there, and we finally are running the ball better. Add Tony to that and we can get some W's. We may not be able to make the playoff's be we can get some wins. This team hasn't been well coached in forever but Tony has won in spite of JG and his offensive scheme.

 

[CCBoy]

It's still coaching. You just answered your own question; without Romo these coaches are nothing.

Not at all what the information presented confirm...only your appraisal. And depth is never the quality of the starter, until they have evolved. Different talents evolve at different levels or time for evolutions.

 

[cowboyblue22]

this might be a championship roster couldof been maybe was they will without tony never win enough games to find out

 

[kramskoi]

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.

If not for Romo...Garrett would have been gone after the 2013 season. 8-8 seasons would likely have been more like 4-12 or 3-13. Of course this only speculative, but what we have seen in Romo's absence makes one wonder.

 

[cowboys2233]

******* idiots think Dallas is still losing with Romo. Dallas is no worse than 2 losses with him and likely only one.

I see no reason why they couldn't be favored in every single game, if Romo comes back to form. The NFC is a dumpster fire. But yes, probably have to throw one loss in there, just to keep it semi-realistic.

Ummmm...it's the same thing. When we were 8-8, often it was because our team sucked and Tony got us to 8-8 but needed more to produce better. Last year he produced big time with a talented run game. This year we have upgraded the defense. We have a team that can run off a string of wins together if they have a QB...so we believe Tony can return and make that happen. If we still had crap for an OL and the worst defense in the league and Dez was gone for the year, most of us wouldn't be expecting much from Tony's return. It's a team game, and Tony has proven he's not a guy who can take a team on his back, but he's a great QB who can win a lot of games with a good supporting cast, which he has in this case.

Wrong.

Good teams with good COACHES sneak in a win or two.

We have a good team, but only Tony is able to cover for stupidity on the side lines. Thats not the players fault. 70%+ of our starters are top tier at their positions. Very few teams have that.

 

[JoeKing]

What makes you think we're going to beat the Eagles and Bucks?

I'm just a homer... plus I've watched the iggles and bucs play and I think they are very beatable.

Sure they're beatable. I don't think they're any good either. I just have no faith that this team can put it together until Tony returns. I especially want to beat the Eagles. I always get a sick feeling in my stomach when we lose to that team.

They've kept the score really close and have been "in it" in 4-1/2 games. They have really bad backup QBs and to have been very close to winning all but one game with those QBs shows that the team indeed has shown a lot of ability.

The issue people seem to ignore when talking about Romo being out is that Dez has also been out. Normally a backup QB would lean on the top offensive player on the team to help him out.

So if you put all these teams together and all you have is a big pile of crap... someone has to win. Why not us? I'm not saying the Cowboys will turn things around with a great performance. I just don't see the other two opponents will either. We can get ugly wins.

 

[mrmojo]

I don't know, we didn't look too good in the first 2 games either this year.....Romo will be an improvement but rusty to begin with by the time he comes around it may be too late.

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

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

I remember the old dallasmorning news forum where some guy loved to pimp Hutchinson as some kind of God QB
