You're absolutely right. We kicked their ass, then almost fell asleep.Eh, it was an awesome showing until we packed it in in the fourth quarter. You guys are like women on their periods.
Nice. Ravi, you got your Cutler special .Tony Romo ... Body by Budweiser
It's very interesting hearing Romo talk about the Eagles game in the post game. He basically admitted to screwing up with his preparation for the Eagles game and feeling like crap before that game even started. I think that loss to the Eagles still really bothers him. Hopefully we see a different game the next time around.Tony Romo ... Body by Budweiser
I don't think they're good enough to get into the playoffs. If they can beat Philly in Philly then they have a shot, but I don't see that happening. Even if it does I would expect them to lose to Washington in week 17 in yet another "win and you're in" in week 17 against a division opponent.I expected 6 wins, so I'll be totally fine with 10-6 even if they don't win a game in the playoffs. With that said, I wouldn't consider this season a success unless they make the playoffs. The reason for that is because I think just making the playoffs would be a nice step and some valuable experience for the young players like Dez, Murray, the O-line, etc. I don't want them to get used to all the mediocrity that most of the Romo era Cowboys got used to.
If we don't make the playoffs, then I don't really think there is anything these players can take from this season.
If we can get these guys some playoff experience early in their careers, it could help to shape a new mentality for the team going forward, which would be great because I think they're already trying to do that with all the new faces.
Just get to the playoffs, and I'm happy with 2014.
Romo clearly wasn't right but the defense was a complete sieve all game. We ran with some success early on but we didn't convert a bunch of 3rd and short to mediums that the running game set up, probably because Romo wasn't right.It's very interesting hearing Romo talk about the Eagles game in the post game.

If Week 17 is win and you're in we're going to win, the Skins will have nothing to play for as opposed to the previous 3 years where our opponent won the division with a win.I don't think they're good enough to get into the playoffs.

They just aren't over the hump. The D is definitely still not good enough and the offense is inconsistent. I have already written off the playoffs, so I'll have to take 10-6 as at least a respectable season. It can be looked at as progress but I think it's more that they've just stayed a lot healthier this season than they have been the past few. That's the big difference. That and the OL is a lot better.
Unlike past years, I don't think this team is gutless. I think they have the right attitude and they have a lot of new guys who really want to go out there and get wins.I don't think they're good enough to get into the playoffs.

The defense settled down a little in that game. It just took way to long for that to happen. I think our whole team was unprepared for that game. I don't think our defense will shut them down or anything in the rematch but I certainly expect a much better performance. I don't think this defense will be run all over again. Our run defense is better then that.Combine the fact that our offense couldn't sustain drives with the fact that the defense came out completely unprepared and you get what we got. I have confidence that Romo and the offense will play better, but whether or not we can win will come down to the defense getting stops, obviously.
There's your problem right there. Philly showed that they're a lot better team. Even if Dallas plays better next time I think they still lose. And then they play Andrew Luck, who could throw for 400 yards in his sleep against this weak ass pass rush/secondary.If Week 17 is win and you're in we're going to win, the Skins will have nothing to play for as opposed to the previous 3 years where our opponent won the division with a win.
In my mind all we have to do is win one of these next two, then we beat the Skins and 11 will get us in one way or the other.
Mine too.Scandrick went up a notch in my book today
The thing that really worries me about the Colts is TY Hilton. If we don't double cover him on every play we are absolute fools. Otherwise, their O-line sucks, there run game isn't shit and I think we can at least slow the rest of their weapons.There's your problem right there. Philly showed that they're a lot better team.
