What happens if we go 2-6 over the 2nd half?

[BrAinPaiNt]

The only way(S) I see us going that record in the second half with a healthy dez and a healthy romo is the following...

They are intentionally tanking the season
The oline get's devastated with injuries
The defense gets devastated with injuries.

With a healthy Romo and Dez, etc. That would put us at 4-12. What changes happen if any? There will be no excuses with a healthy team.

My excuse will be that the team sucks.

We invite Fournette's family to Valley Ranch for a little tour.

We're gonna stink again next year??????!!!???


Fournette isn't draft eligible until 2017.

Oh darn..... crawling back under my rock.

I don't see how there can be.

Just read this forum, you'll find an excuse for any occasion

 

[IAmLegend]

We won't.

We're going 6-1 or 5-2 when Romo gets back. We're barely losing these games. With Tony, most of them will be comfortable victories.

And we're beating Tampa Bay on Sunday without him.

CowboysZone goes nuts over our draft position.

Garrett will probably get an extension for another 5 years so he is not made uncomfortable in the off season when everybody around him gets fired. Furthermore, sales of Johnny Walker will be at an all time high due to Jerry's purchases.

Someone's been popping molly with Scandrick.

Hey if I'm shooting too high I'll be around here to take my lumps if we still suck when Romo gets back. If my prediction actually happens, will you be ready for the boatload of crow ready for you to eat?

 

[percyhoward]

So losing Manning was no excuse for the Colts playing that poorly?

All the other playoff teams in the last 10 years have gone 69-67-1 without their starter the next year.

Sure?

Well, we could lose out and Jerry would not get rid of his trainee. He would rather be comfortable and lose than hire a real coach.If we go 4-12 or worse I would expect that a lot of heads would roll except the main one who should.

 

[Craig]

This team will not have romo remotely near 100% this season, so the scenario presented will not unfold.

 

[Craig]

Sure?

Youre safe since romo wont be back in time to go 8-0 to bring them to 10-6.

We invite Fournette's family to Valley Ranch for a little tour.

Why? So we can show him where he might be in 2017?

Carolina went 7 games w/o a win last year and made playoffs at 7-8-1. Hope for Cowboys? Not sure NFC East is as bad as NFC South last year

Sounds like this is the mantra of anyone with a bad record these days.

Case in point, our next opponent:

“Yeah, let’s not lose sight of the fact there’s eight more (games) to go,’’ he said. “They were talking just yesterday about how Carolina was 3-8-1 (late in the 2014 season) and now they’ve won 12 straight. So things can turn around for us.

A direct quote from Gerald McCoy.

Don a red wig and start singing the theme song from Annie.

Yes, but our success inordinately depends on Romo, just like the Colts did with Manning. The last game was the only one I didn't feel we lost because of the fall-off on offense we've suffered. Part of that was having Bryant back. Having to go without our top two offensive playmakers was a double whammy.

 

[gimmesix]

Not THAT bad. They definitely lost some of those games on purpose in the "Suck for Luck" sweepstakes. We aren't losing games on purpose right now. We just suck and it isn't only because we have a backup QB.

As the season progressed, they did. The first half of the season, though, they were that bad because they didn't have Manning just like we've mostly been this bad because we don't have Romo.

This last game is the only one I hang completely on the defense, even with Cassel's interception. The only other one where I felt the defense deserved a lot of the blame was Atlanta, but the offense made it tough on the defense by sucking in the second half.

Now, there are certainly a lot of factors that go into this much suckage, such as the special teams giving up the TD against the Giants, but if anyone thinks we wouldn't have a much better record at this point with a healthy Romo is out of their mind.

Curious what you think our record would be right now if Romo had not been hurt?

Romo was the real killer. Bryant has been back for two games and there is always the threat that someone forgets he is pretty good and fails to use him effectively.
