Cowboys: Romo's Injury Could Be Huge Blessing In Disguise For 2015 Super Bowl Run

[UNT Eagles 2016]

- The division isn't very strong this year with the Eagles taking several step backwards. Cowboys did a masterful job of wearing out Murray's legs last year, but the problem with Philly goes well beyond the rushing situation. Replacing Bradford with Sanchez won't work, either. I could definitely see the magic record to win the NFC East being 10-6 or even 9-7 this year.

- 9-7 / 10-6 and a 4th seed would be just perfect for the road warrior Cowboys who are elite at home and average on the road. Imagine drawing Seattle -- a mediocre road team -- in the 4 vs 5 matchup and then the Cowboys winning that and playing the rest of the playoffs on the road. The revenge game @ Lambeau will be a sight to behold. Winning 13 games like so many Cowboys fans hoped going into the season would be counterproductive due to being an iffy home team.

- The best news for the Cowboys is the entire band (sans Scandrick) should be back in November. The defensive armada returns in mid-October, Dez in late October, and Romo in early or mid November. The stats won't look great for our stars this year playing a fraction of a season, but rest could really pay off in the end. And the depleted defense is already good enough to hold down the fort right now -- better than in quite awhile.

- More to come!

who else will in the nfc least? sam bradford and TOSB Murray with their swiss cheese offensive line? :lol

[Ditty]

Think Redskins can give the Cowboys a run for their money they way they have been outplaying teams these past two weeks. I think they will go somewhere between 7-9 or 9-7 they have a very good offensive line now, and two very good running backs and the defense hasn't been too bad against two very good teams the first two games. They could be easily 2-0 right now.

Could be worse...you could have Houston's RB's...which are all just a notch above the practice squad.

I don't get why we don't run McFadden as our bell cow. He's built similarly to Murray and doesn't have the recent wear and tear that Murray has. Randle is too small to be a primary RB.


Also, lol at the Redskins competing in the division. Their quarterbacks are worse than Weeden and their defense is still trash.

[leemajors]

McFadden did little after contact compared to Randle through most of the game.

I wasn't a fan of the idea before the season started, but based on the limited sample size I'd have to say I have seen enough of McFadden and the others to know that McFadden should be getting the majority of the designed runs.. Randle and Dunbar are both better on the short pass, and Dunbar is starting to show he can run some farther routes too.

We need to draft a top RB in the second round next year for sure.

I agree, Randle doesn't go down easily despite his size. He's got surprising strength, but I'd still rather see what McFadden can do w/ more focus. Randle doesn't hit the hole fast enough from what I've seen and I think he'd be better as a passing threat and change of pace back.

F next year man, it's all about winning this year. Firstly, a bunch of our guys come off the books at the end of the year, and secondly I'll probably be in a different state working a full time job & will be unable to care about football. Now is the time.

[DPG21920]

I was shocked at how many people, even pundits, dismissed the injuries like no big deal because the o-line is good. They have no talent at the skill positions without Dez. It's crazy. Their RB's aren't that good, their 2nd+ WRs aren't very good and the defense while solid still needs work.

People who thought they could just shrug this off are nuts to me. They play hard, but man talent is a big deal.

[HemisfairArena]

Injury card is for pussies and assholes,,,,,

[DPG21920]

What's crazy to me is JG seems to hate Randle :lol. He's the most goofy soft coach ever yet he has no problem letting Randle have it.

yep I was ready to roll out the tank when Dez and Romo went down. ...You are right Twilliams is a #2 he is not good enough to be a #1. Heck he and the Cowboys might be better off he is the #3. Drafting another WR must also be an option in next year's draft.

Pats gonna roll us next week...

[pgardn]

The Cowboys could have easily lost to the Giants who seem to be getting better. Sorta...


Dallas running game starts out on fire and then just dies. I thought the running game gets better as the game wears on. Dallas D wore down again.

nah, the defense will be a lot better because they're getting big pieces back. It's the offense that will lose the game.

[chunticakes]

The inability of the offense to sustain drives will lead to the defense being on the field way too long. Ultimately, the Pats' quick, spread offense will blow the game open.

I think the pats will get a combination of quick TDs and quick punt drives, not a whole lot in between, which will lead to the defense NOT being on the field for way too long. But the Cowboys will lose the game because when they do put together good drives they'll squander them by getting a dumb holding penalty or 2 and kicking short field goals instead of converting touchdowns.

so who do u think is a better pocket passer between Cam and Carr

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

Give Cam Amari and Crabtree and I bet his completion % exceeds 63. I've seem Cam make throws in windows that Carr would only dream to make. Cam has also done it in the clutch. I've seen young Carr choke way too much (cause he's young)… so Cam. And honestly, I'd be hard-pressed to find many people that disagree at this stage in Carr's career.

i'm simply asking about pocket passing. it's pretty clear Carr is better at that than Newton. Cam can make some throws on the run that Carr would only dream to make, i'll give you that.

within the pocket? nope.

we saw Cam with Steve Smith and Greg Olsen for his first 3 seasons and he never had a passer rating above 90 in those years

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

He was also young, an undeveloped passer and never had a #2 receiver.

Newton has progressed the past two years with losing a multitude of weapons, and then losing our only great receiver on the team. He is forced to actually make reads (unlike when he was a gunslinger his first year), and he can actually read defenses now. His passing is crisp, as you've seen this year… and the only reason his completion percentage is shit is because of Ted Ginn and Devin Funchess inability to catch the ball… I'm pretty sure they have at least 15 drops between them.

Carr is also young, and was pretty raw coming of of college (excelled in a typical college/gimmick spread offense)... the progress he's made this year is incredible. he's miles ahead of Newton strictly as a pocket passer. he has also resurrected Crabtree's career... just like how Flacco resurrected Steve Smith

both crabtree and smith said their new QB's did a better job of getting them the ball...

If we're talking about where they were in their second years, then I agree that he's ahead of where Newton WAS. But I don't think he is better at this moment, and I don't think he has the pedigree yet to prove it. This could be his breakout year… or he could implode. We saw Nick Foles throw for 22 TD's and a pick. We also saw Michael Vick do something similar.

the problem is... newton's passing numbers were better in his first 2 years than any other point in his career :lol

and yet you have no problem jizzing up a storm when you talk about cam's early career stats/records

cam has always been an inconsistent passer from within the pocket, it's not some new, revolutionary claim. it's not the strength of his game

Now is the time to tank. Romo, Dez, Witten, and Lee need to go vacation together for the rest of the holiday season and have some fun, because it's no use spinning wheels over a lost season. Sign Hardy and McClain to contract extensions, get a top 3-5 pick, draft a high profile receiver with pick #1 and two guys for the secondary with the 2 of the next 3 picks around drafting the QB for the future (or trading a pick for someone like Garrappolo). With the rest of the picks, a nose tackle and perhaps a power running back can be drafted.


Oh well, rooting for the Panthers to win it this season... as long as Green Gay loses I'm pacified, tbh...
