My optimism is rather high, and I like the chances considering the following.
Couldn't be happier with the RB situation, again what a great draft.
Choice is the perfect fit in the screen pass.
He has certain intangibles that cant be coached but are rather inherent traits.
He has great vision and timing. I think those abilities are his greatest tools.
Westbrook has made a career, and saved McNabb, serving a similar role.
Choice kinda reminds me of a young Westbrook, just similar traits in their style.
This offense is still growing and learning together, so many new weapons in the arsenal, with Choice, Bennett, emerging Austin, and a Felix next year, that alone increases the learning curve.
Call me crazy, but as tough a loss as the Pitt game was, after stepping back from the ledge, and actually reviewing, I will say something that I have never before said.
This Team got better through defeat.
Even though the loss did not help improve the team in the standings, and the wild card hunt, it did burn a battle hardened mark on this teams Moxy and character.
I was wrong in blasting Romo on this forum after that game.
Everyone, including my self, expected Romos return to signify a "back to normal" status, and the simple truth of the matter is that just isn't the way it works sometimes.
Romo is shaking off the Rust, a little longer than anyone expected to see, but he is getting his timing back at the right time.
This is a brutal stretch, and if this team gets through the next two weeks, there will be nobody, that wants to face this team, that I can guarantee you.
The Wildcard game, whoever the opponent, might be considered a breather game by the Cowboys if they get in, considering the month of Decembers strength of schedule.
