MikeGL Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Are they that good? I haven't followed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 The offensive line carries them. Elliot could fall down and still have time to pick up four yards. The defense is average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueInCanada Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Much like the Gints they have benefited from weaker opponents on the schedule. However they play safe and smart football. They can control the game with their run game and then take chances with Dak pushing the ball down the field. Dak so far doesnt look like a rookie I don't know how they lucked into the guy but he looks like he's been in the NFL for the last four years. Their defense isnt top of the NFL but they can get it done when they need too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UK-Giantsfan Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Cowboys D is very suspect in my opinion ........ Cousins threw for 449 yards last week on them ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazedDogs Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 they may be that good, but for much of the season it seemed to me that they were just catching teams at the right time. Now I'm not so sure though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel that way, it's like the only contender for the SB are the Patriots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herc Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 This is one of their more flawed seasons too. Defense is much worse than last year, gronk banged up and Edelman isn't the same player since he rushed back from foot injury. If we get to the playoffs there's no team that scares me more than our own offense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmenroc Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 If the Cowboys can run the ball like they have and Dak doesn't turn the ball over, then yeah, they're good and they're set up to be good for years. That's the scary part. They could go balls to the wall on defense in the offseason like we did last year, maybe a WR to complement Bryant, and they're even better next year. Trading Romo for a competent WR could be done easily and save them cap room on top of it. Sure, they've benefited from a fairly light schedule, but so have we and we're 2 games back. I don't think their schedule plays into it as much as one might think initially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazedDogs Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 There aren't many young QBs that have stepped in and had success like Dak, but don't crown his ass yet. For every Russell Wilson, there's a Daunte Culpepper and an RGIII. Dak may just be the guy with the right skills for the right situation, but we don't really know if he can even play yet. Lets see what happens when they lose a few people on the OL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sephiroth Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 The Cowboys are good, and will continue to be good. Anybody would be good behind that line. Except for Tony Romo. I don't think there's going to be a huge trade market for him. If that guy has had significant injuries behind the league's best line, how long will he last with a merely average line?

CrazedDogs Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 oh yeah, Romo is done. I came to have a grudging respect for him, but his pocket presense is not what it needs to be, not anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmenroc Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Romo doesn't need to be traded to end up on another team next year and still benefit the Cowboys by way of cap space. I think Tony is done in Dallas...but someone will give him a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sstempest Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Tony Romo isn't going anywhere. He'll finish his career as a cowboy and you heard it here first. As backup to Dak Prescot he will have plenty of time to join sports forums like ours. It's rumored that he will devote much of his blog prowess hunting down and mercilessly harassing one RomoHater alias "The Sausage Queen" who has hounded him throughout his checkered career.

Allstarjim Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 That defense doesn't have a lot of great players outside of Sean Lee but they are extremely well-coached and their defensive game plans and play-calling are very, very good. Rod Marinelli is maybe the best defensive coordinator in football, and I love Spags. I think people have been under-estimating their defense all year. They aren't the '85 Bears but they aren't pushovers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's why I wanted the Gints to give to coaching job to Doug Marone(sp?), all reports were he was going to bring his best buddy here Marinelli to coach the defense, who is honestly one of the more underrated DCs in the NFL.

Tempest Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Imagine how good the Cowboys would be if they could get Jerry Jones out of the way long enough to succeed? Well shit guys, Jones has gotten out of the way and his team is succeeding. Tony Romo is very good regular season QB but fades in the postseason. We can only hope Prescott has that flaw.

Dak and Wentz both scare me. Wentz is having his ups and downs but he'll get better and Dak looks like a four year pro even when pressure gets to him.
