Putting it all together...

PrintIsn't that what we all want. I mean, isn't that what keeps us optimistic fans going, the fact that we see promise on our team? So, for my own sanity, this is what I want for my early Christmas present. I want the following this Saturday night:
Offense against Atlanta, week 7: Tony Romo was "21 of 29 for 311 yards and 3 TDs to earn a 141.6 QB rating." He spread the ball around, Crayton got in on the action, and most importantly, we had pass protection.
Defense against Philly, week 9: Giving up 16 points to an offense as explosive as Philly is nothing to be ashamed of. If we can hold the Saints to 16 points we have a much better shot at winning this game. Ratliff played some great football, and Brooking was an animal as well. Moving Rat out to DE and not giving McNabb much room to breath.
Special Teams against Seattle, week 8: PC return for a touchdown (boy could we use one of those on Saturday!), Beuhler banging kickoffs, as well as making downfield blocks for return men. Oh, and I think Folk was 1-1 on FGs.
Here's hoping guys. We definitely have the tools. I mean, based purely on talent, we do have a team that qualifies for the coveted title of "elite." We just haven't been able to put it together.
Could this be the week?

With that O-Line we are not Elite
Watch footage of the offensive line, especially the left side. They are poor. With that big a gaping hole, you can’t be considered elite. We need a LT and a safety in the draft. Hopefully we can get Earl Thomas as a FS. We need that kind of playmaker, plus he’s a bright kid.

Steelers won the SB with a crappy OL
It’s just means the other players need to step up more, meaning the defense as the offense can only do so much with an average OL.
In Romo we Trust
But
You can’t compare us to the Steelers. This defense has never shown the potential to be as good as the Steelers were last year. We simply don’t have enough talent in key areas on that side of the ball.
you mean we don't have Troy Polamala
because without him, our defense is actually much better than the Steelers. Hard to believe one player can make that big of a difference, but he certainly has.
In Romo we Trust
It would be a dream come true
If we hold them under 20 points. If we held them to 16 and lost I wouldn’t watch TV ever again.
Every team has flashes
Even Oakland.
Dallas looks like an also-ran.
"Emotion is highly overrated in football. My wife Corky is emotional as hell but can't play football worth a damn."
- John McKay, the first coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Cards looked like an also-ran last year
at this time but looked great in the playoffs. And really, except for the Saints and Colts, every team has looked like an also-ran at some point this season. Its called parity in the NFL.
In Romo we Trust
No
But if that is how you rationalize our sub-par play, then so be it.

yes, it's the truth
guess you haven’t paid much attention to the other 31 teams in the league because other than the two undefeated teams, all of them have looked bad as some point in the season.
In Romo we Trust
Even the undefeated's have!
ESPECIALLY the Saints. I give them props for digging deep and coming away with wins but they have had close calls with horrible teams.
Marine by trade, Cowboys fan by birth.
Add this to your wish list
Fan support against Kansas City, week 5. I wish we had that crowd in Arlington every game.

Was there any game where our O-line played exceptionally well by their standard?
If so, I’d tack that on to your wishlist.
I still honestly like our chances. We’re not going up against an elite defense. We’re not even going up against an average defense. We can put a ton of points on the board against them.
If our D plays like they did in Philly, I love our chances.
Epic Fail since 1985
I'd even take our D from the Chargers game.
If they only score 20 we should win. Not saying we will just that we SHOULD.
