DID YOU KNOW that Dallas is the only team ever to lose a player to injury?

[Ed Burmila]

Ever. In the history of the NFL, I think. THEY PLAYED WITHOUT TONY ROMO TODAY. That is just unprecedented. Literally has never happened before, a team having an injured player miss a game.

I mean, we're missing six starters on defense and won two games with DREW STANTON, but Dallas was missing Romo so I guess this game didn't even count.

Aikman talked about our injuries a lot. My God imagine this defense with D-Waste.

Romo to Weeden is a bigger drop off then Palmer to Stanton, and even more in the eyes of the national media. we have always had a better roster, but Dallas has looked better winning than we have this year. They are Romo dependent while we have other players to lean on.

Agree with this. We can win in different ways. We had the punt return to change that game, the bomb to Brown, backup QBs, defensive stops, blocked FG. We are so well coached across the different phases and especially at head coach.

Feels good to have depth.

 

[Shaggy]

Figured this would happen when the Cards would win. They will be still considered pretenders as Romo wasn't playing. Pretty sad.

Disagree. Stanton had almost no experience starting games. Dallas also has an awesome run game for Weeden to lean on. We do not.

I really do not agree. They are Murray dependent and he was shut down today

 

[Ed Burmila]

I agree, Cowboys are just making excuses. They have the #1 rusher in the league by a mile, it's hard to hear them complain that without Romo they have nothing to lean on.

Drew Stanton and Brandon Weeden are pretty much a wash. What's obvious is that we have better coaching. We schemed to Stanton's limitations whereas the brilliant Jason Garrett apparently just took Weeden and said "OK go make all the throws Romo makes." If Weeden could do that, he wouldn't be a backup.

This hits the nail right on the head. Jimmy Johnson said this during the halftime show as the reason Cowboys would come back.

 

[SoCal Cardfan]

No one mentioning that the same Romo who missed this game, played the majority of the game that they lost to the juggernaut Redskins AT HOME as well. lmao

Murray fumbles costed them that game.

 

[DoTheDew]

Good. I don't want any credit right now. I hope the media discredits and doubts us all the way to February.

 

[Chopper0080]

Pro bowl QB to a guy who got cut by Cleveland...hmmm.

Also, look at preseason rankings which generally picked Dallas to be last in their division. No defense in Dallas, and the east was considered a terrible division.

Like it or not, Romo has been a significantly better QB than Palmer. Romo has kept the Dallas Cowboys from being a dumpster fire for years. Romo has made the Cowboys 8-8 with Murray gaining 1000 yards per season. Murray having a better year just makes it easier for Romo to take advantage of defenses. Losing Romo was huge. He covers up all of their warts, and they have a ton. The gap between Romo and Weeden is so much larger than the gap between Palmer and Stanton.

We won a game that we should have vs a team with it's backup QB. I'm not sure why this should be considered an impressive win.

 

[Chopper0080]

Lol, no. Murray is benefited by Romo's ability to make plays in the passing game, and keeping the defense back. They are willing to feed the ball to Murray as long as teams keep players out of the box, but once they drop players down Romo makes plays. Romo doesn't need Murray to make plays while Murray needs Romo, which today proved.

Impresssive or not, it sure as heck felt great to win!!

It was impressive to me in the fact that they put their foot on the throat and stepped down to end it. That's not something I'm used to seeing from the Cards. Other than that we should have beat them even if Romo had played so no big deal......well, first win in dallas since '98. That was nice.

 

[nashman]

Chopper I couldn't disagree more, Murray running wild is why Dallas is doing well romo has been romo for years, until Murray started this season going bananas they were not even in the conversation! Their offense has been balanced which made it good, romo throwing 50+ times equals disaster!

Nicely said Hollywood. Completely agree.

 

[Heucrazy]

Actually every 49er fan I've talked to says that the Drew Stanton Cardinals got lucky and only beat them because of their injuries. No joke. Every single one.

Their team only put up 10 points today. With all those weapons on offense. 10 points. LOL!!! At home! Hilarious.

Pretty sure I disagree with the bolded part. If you meant Romo has been better than Palmer over the last 5 years or so I won't argue that point. If you are saying Romo is significantly better than Palmer now then put up your dukes because thems fighting words.

Losing Romo was a huge loss for the Cowboys today and anyone doubting that is flat out wrong. Not sure we still beat them with the pick 6 Palmer through and all the dropped passes. Romo would have completed more passes then Weeden which would have moved the chains more etc etc.

Still a quality win on the road for the Cardinals. 7-1 says a lot considering the wins included the Chargers, Eagles, Cowboys and 49ers.

We would beat them even with Romo and the pick six. This team was getting hype because of the job Murray was doing. To say we lose to Dallas after a 1st quarter pick six because the QB is Romo is totally wrong to me and almost down right laughable. Peyton Manning or Brady, maybe in some deep do do but Romo... really? Romo is not much different than Palmer, and Palmer is less without Ellington and Romo is a lot less without Murray. The number one run offense went up against or D today and lost. Dallas is average and if not, then they would have been world beaters the last five years but it is the same Dallas team which had benefited from an improved running game till they met the run defense from the 'Bowles' of hell lol
