Yet another opportunity slipped be the wayside last night, but even with Cassel throwing 3 interceptions, and them getting a pick 6, we still weren't outclassed. The same will be true for the next 3 games without Romo...
The Cowboys are 2-4, but are still top-10 in both offense and defensive rankings, and are still #1 in the NFL in Time of Possession. As underwhelming as our run-game has looked this season, we are still 7th in rushing yards per game.
Seahawks - Loss...
Eagles - Win...
@ Bucs - Win...
So I think we'll win 2 of our next 3 and be sitting at 4-5 when Romo returns. The problem hasn't been the scheme, and we've still been able to move the ball a lot of the time, but we've not been cashing in on those yards with TD's... Bryant might be back as soon as next week, and even without Romo, having a healthy Dez could really help us get in the endzone more... Once Romo is back, the offense will be back on track.
@ Dolphins - Win...
Panthers - Win...
@ Commanders - Win...
@ Packers - Loss... We win the rematch in January...
Jets - Win...
@ Bills - Win...
Commanders - Win...
The defense is legit and should get better, and we know that with Romo and Dez our offense is legit. So far since Romo's been out, our defense has generated 0 turnovers, while we've turned it over 7 times... Despite losing the turnover battle quite disproportionately, we still had a good chance to win those games... Romo wins those games, like in week 1 vs the Giants, but Romo also wouldn't have this many interceptions to begin with...
What would our record realistically be if Romo and Dez had been healthy? Most likely 5-1, give or take a game either way... Based on what we've seen in these games, that seems to be a reality... When Romo and Dez are both back, turnovers will go way down, and touchdowns will go way up. We're already #1 in Time of Possession, but I'd expect even that should improve by 4+ minutes per game... The defense has played really good, especially lately, and I would think that the law of probabilities comes into play soon and we finally start getting a few turnovers, even if it's only by dumb luck...
From what I've seen, we're a really good team that will start on the upswing soon... When Romo and Dez are both back, I think we might be the best team. The improvement of the defense is huge for us! Having Hardy is huge for us! We will soon be the most balanced team in the NFL... Balanced between run and pass, and balance between offense and defense... The combination of the offense and defense should be good enough to suffocate the mediocre teams led by mediocre QB's, which is most teams on the Cowboys schedule after Romo gets back...
We will only lose two more games this season, 10-6, book it!
