We won the bye

[lostar2009]

We should be 5-0 now setting pretty in the NFC East. The next stretch of 5 games will make or break us.

The Pats lost Brady and he was replaced by Cassel. They did NOT go to the playoffs that year.

The point is, they won ALOT of games without Brady. Cassel was an unknown at that time too. And their record that year would win this division most years.

But didn't they win like 10 or 11 games and were the only team to not make the Playoffs that won 11 games? Wasn't it some odd thing that happened?

Most important thing we need to do is play DISCIPLINE football, and we will beat them all

Completely agree.

This is what's inexcusable.

Mo lined up across from a receiver and immediately goes right to his face mask with his first contact. Why! For what! That's the definition of stupid and undisciplined is and he's done it twice in two weeks. I like Garrett but I put that on him.

Hell, I can even see it on the line of scrimmage but out wide like that - inexcusable!

 

[ksadler1]

Pitt also had a Pro bowl caliber RB and TWO good WR's playing in that game!!!! Granted I think some of our issues have come from the sideling as well. A timeout should have been called in the Saints game and I haven't seen any tangible game time adjustments made as well.

You still have to get the ball to them. The Cards are not a weak team and Pitts 3rd string QB looked pretty good against them. The point is, they are winning games without Roth, Are we doing the same without Romo?

 

[DeaconMoss]

The Pats lost Brady for a whole year. What was their record that year? The Steelers are 2-1 without Roth right now, and that was a 3rd string QB they won with Sunday. I'm not saying losing Romo hasn't been huge but this team has no guts when it comes down to crunch time. We are 0-3 without Romo. Hopefully Cassel will be better but this whole team needs someone to step up and lead on both sides of the ball.....

3rd string Qb with Bell, DeAngelo, Brown, Bryant, Miller and Wheaton, For what its worth I think Cincy and Pittsburgh have the deepest and best WR bunches in the league. Even with those groups though, I am not sure Weeden would have done any better.

Did you miss the last SB that the Packers won? Not saying I don't agree with the premise of your post, I'm just sick of this team using injuries as an excuse. There's a weak mind-set on this team for some reason. We had 2 very winnable games while Romo has been out and both our D and O crapped the bed in both. That is inexcusable for a team that supposedly has the talent this one does.....Just sayin

i'm always amazed when people use a singular team as an example of their stance when by definition they are the exception to the rule for when you listed it. can it be done?

yes. but not as you have painted it with the example you have so cleverly referenced.

now how many had injuries they could *not* overcome? no more so than every other team to be sure. so for your oh so clever comparison to be valid, we need an entire book of statistics, not one taken COMPLETELY out of reference as you have to try and make a point you still have yet to make.

so is it pittsburgh or green bay we're after now? one comparison gets blown out of the water so you run off to pittsburgh now cause you can easily say HE WENT DOWN AND THEY WON!!!

first of all - no one would argue weeden was a good qb. well, outside his immediate family, even if then.

but let's finish this thought and quit randomizing the conversation to do nothing more than use any example to cite your anger at the time.

compare pitt and green bay first in how they have enjoyed similiar success with injury history and then the rest of the NFL and who has not.

THEN we have a clear playing field.

til then we have butthurt fans reaching for anything that makes them feel better in that region.

 

[Wolfpack]

The title of this post makes me think of BBQ for some reason.

 

[KJJ]

You don't win by losing and hoping other teams within your division knock each other off improving your chances. If the Cowboys want to go anywhere this season they're going to have to start taking care of their own business and get back to winning games. You can't depend on other teams all season to lose to help your cause.

 

[RonSpringsdaman20]

yeah... 11-5, no playoffs.

 

[CCBoy]

If we're all honest here, the NFCE (as a whole) is hot garbage. You've got teams like Pitt winning games with their 3rd string QB while Dallas holds out hope that other teams will take care of business for them. I know we've been hit by injuries but I honestly felt pretty good about our depth this year until these past 3 games. Both our coaching and player depth has been very disappointing early on. Now that our D is relatively healthy there is no excuse for them giving games away the way they did with the Saints and Atlanta. It's time for them to step up and hold the fort until we get our offense back.....

yea...they are probably a bunch of young losers. You are probably right...

Ya it is an excuse. Packers still had their QB, you might have heard of him. ....Rodgers. you think they make the superbowl with Weeden at QB

They still have Bell, Brown, Byrant and a host of firepower. We lost Dez as well so teams can single cover guys and stack the box. Can't do that with Pittsburgh

 

[fifaguy]

Commanders lost and while the Eagles won, both them and the Giants looked like hot garbage! Let's hope all the changes over the bye do what they're intended to because while our NFC East counterparts have done their part, our guys still need to do theirs and get us a couple of wins before we get our QB back.

Sounds like Wade's "we won the first half..."

I thought of it more like this division is weak and even with this team in their 3rd QB we still have a shot

I've already made my point. You just don't want to hear or see it. We have a very weak minded team this year that can't overcome adversity. I've watched 3 games this year where this team looks like it just flat gave up. Winning the 1st half means nothing. I also simply stated that other teams have lost starting QB's and can still win a few games until they get their QB back. You say I gave a "singular" example when in fact I cited 3 examples of teams winning with injuries or without their starting QB's. Quit reading so much into it. Winning is the bottom line and we're not doing it.....

 

[Wayne02]

All of the good fortune that happened over the bye won't mean a thing if the Cowboys lose on Sunday. Have to beat the Giants.

If you think the team gave up in 3 games this season, then you have no idea what you are watching.

You're also taking the Qb injury and simultaneously ignoring it (in the Green Bay example) and undervaluing the impact of not having significant injuries elsewhere ( in the Pittsburgh example).
