Would you take a close loss as a positive sign?

And do you think we could make the playoffs after going 3-4?

Well thats cool.. I never thought about it.

So whats his TD/Int ratio in those circumstances?

As long as at the end of the game we still have a chance of winning the game and Romo has managed to avoid the costly turnovers that plagued the team with Bledsoe at the helm that will definitely be a step in the right direction IMO. Carolina on the road is a stiff test for any QB, but we have an undrafted free agent making his 1st NFL start. I think Julius Peppers is watching game film and dissecting our offensive line looking for the mulitple routes he can take to get to Romo. Win or loss though just having a QB that can give the team a chance to win each week will be a big plus.

No and no

Well get prepared for those who didnt like the move to point out that we went down there and won with DB at the helm at the end of last year.

For myself it wont matter much if we lose by 2 or 20 (if we lose at all). It's about like the players.. once the game is over you cant dwell on it too long. Just move on and try to do better next week.

It's a week to week deal in this league. What if we go down there and win and then lay an egg in Wash? Do we go from back on the right track to sucking again just that quick?

Heck no! We've had close losses already where we were at least in position to win or tie before the stupid mistakes. I would see a close loss against Carolina as more of the same: Been there, done that. Not a step in any direction.

Yes.

I mean I'd be pissed the Cowboys lost.

But a close game indicates Romo showed something, and that's a positive sign against one of the NFL's best defenses.

a close loss doesnt necessarily mean he showed anything...he might play terrible, throw for 100 yds and 3 or 4 picks but maybe our defense plays ok and doesnt let us get blown out

close losses are fine for teams that have been awful and are trying to "learn" to win, but for a team expected to be a Super Bowl contender and in the 4th yr with the same HC (especially in THIS era), we shouldnt be having to discuss moral victories or "close losses" being a positive

Close loss = failure
