If you change the outcome of four controversial plays, the short field goal mishandled snap, the catch in Green Bay that was actually a catch, to play cards against the Giants that were BS too, Romo wins all those games. Lol
If were doing ifs to define success, than Staubach would be 4-0 in SBs....the Romo legend continues to grow like the 20 inch trout i caught 20 years ago....

6-2 at the bye. 5 of those games with a backup quarterback. 9 games left in the season. 26 years of frustration playing into your beliefs.

What would it take for you to drop the caution flag and allow yourself to hope that this is the year? Beating Green Bay at Lambeau? Following that up with a win in Minnesota? Making that 5 wins in a row by beating the G-Men on Thanksgiving? Or maybe you are hardcore and need to see a victory in the playoffs or maybe 2?

I, myself, need them to beat GB and Minnesota on the road with the offense throwing up 30+ points in those wins. I believe if the offense can score 30 points against those teams in their stadiums then we have the complete team it would require to go to the promised land. Another win on Thanksgiving with the ensuing 10 days off to get healthy would be the final nail. Good offense, great defense and good special teams is a recipe for a championship.

What do you need to see to drop the yellow flag?
Cowboys to win November:
○ win road games v. NFC North. This will keep Dallas apace with New York, who coming off the bye wlll have home games against Houston [CONGRATULATIONS ASTROS] and Detroit.
So...NYG likely go to AT&T Stadium with an 8-2 record.
7-3 or 8-2 Cowboys getting a win over the Giants would keep them in the 5th playoff spot.

Lol. I’m a Tony Romo fan. But I think he’s thrown an interception to every single team in the entire league. There was a poster going around one time. Anybody who caught football from Tony Romo’s please stand up. 31 different jerseys lol. Prescott does not throw interceptions normally. I don’t think it was necessary to say anything about that
TB pick./ Det. Hit 2 defenders who dropped the ball/ Chi. Pick/
3 Games in a row.

Didn't say INTs, just said throw to correct jerseys lol

I was having a conversation with somebody else. But since you interrupted. It’s not a pic unless it’s caught.

What? The Cowboys lost by 9. He had us to within 3, but the Eagles drove the field and the clock to put the game out of reach.
But Rush had the Cowboys to within 3 points, despite the bad calls, penalties, and the blown refusal to challenge a bad call.
But Rush did something Dak never does- he led the Cowboys back when the momentum was going to the Eagles. Rush made plays- he didn't wait for someone else to lead. Despite his own struggles, and all the other problems, he didn't give up. He kept trying and brought the Cowboys back to within 3.
Dak can't do that.
And it was only Rush's 6th career game. Dak has had 6 years.
You should leave Rush alone. You're outclassed.
So put his poster above your bed see if I care. Prescott has more fourth-quarter wins than any other quarterbacks since he’s been in the league. And that’s when the games and won in the fourth quarter. Get a clue before you open your mouth please

You know the same thing can be said about Brady, right? And he is supposed to be the epitome of control. Romo was a gunslinger.
Gunslingers will always throw more picks; its their nature to always try for the big play; force it in there.
I cringed every time Favre threw the ball his last two years in the league; he was so totally out of control.
I wasn’t criticizing. Just saying

Against weak teams it doesn't count.
Dak shuts down and then racks up stats when the game is out of reach and defenses are playing loose.
For the record - don't EVER try to convince others you are fair and impartial.
You're as bad as Rockport.

We have some posters who won’t believe even after a Super Bowl victory parade.

I'd like to see some proof too,,, We all know the Cowboys can whoop it up on the mediocre and bad teams, we need to see them not get embarrassingly punked against the likes of the Titans. Go toe to toe with those teams and win, then I'll start believing.

he threw three interceptions. he had only 181 passing yards, which is very pedestrain. the offense scored only 17 points. let me repeat. the offense only scored 17 points. let me repeat, the offense only scored 17 points. the only time we had a decent offensive output is when we ran the ball.

cooper rush cost us that game. if he could challenge that defense more than 15 yards down field (limit of his arm strength), then we would have had a legit shot of winning.

and its extremely funny. Dak gets the team to within three, its called garbage time. Rush does the same thing, (people screaming like little Jr. high girls in high pitched voice), OMG, OMG rush had us within three.

go put your pink tutu on

If they actually gave zeke the playing time his performance has justified forever, that would show me a commitment to winning over marketing.

Why is it necessary to believe?

Can’t we just enjoy the ride and see where it goes.

Actually win more than one playoff game.

Because no matter how good the regular season goes, my expectation is that they will be frustratingly inept in the postseason and get bounced early like they always do.

The league announcing a correction that one final trade was made at the deadline, shipping Prescott to the Dontcares for whatever.
Is it your opinion the Cowboys would be in a better position for making the playoffs and deeper run without Prescott this season?

I think an expectation of a conference championship has already been established as the accepted arrival point of being a true contender for a Super Bowl appearance. Of course, being a "contender" and arriving at a Super Bowl appearance are two different things. Only the playoff's final winning teams are awarded that honor. Once the Cowboys manage to arrive at a conference championship, I'll believe they're "true contenders." Of course, to become winners of the Super Bowl would be the ultimate prize, as always.
