Please go look at Ben Roethlisbergers rookie season... He was 13-0 during his Rookie season. Tommy Maddox started the other 3 Steeler games. The Steelers finished the season 15-1 but lost in the first round of the playoffs to the Patriots... Despite the playoff loss, Steeler fans, as spoiled as they are to Championships, considered the season a success. GO FIGURE!
Hey playoffs are definitely a crapshoot. But there ARE NO Patriots in the NFC this year. Hey whatever man,.... all I ask of you Cowboy fans is PLEASE keep disregarding the Giants..they are no threat. Worry more about the Skins or Tampa
The Giants are 8-3... winners of 6 in a row, they are not SNEAKING up on ANYONE This year.. They would be in first place in any other NFC Division so i don't think anyone is disregarding them.. Every Cowboys knows that if the Giants beat the Cowboys next Sunday they will be one game out of 1st place (assuming they beat the Steelers today) and the Cowboys will have zero room for error or they will be playing the Wildcard weekend, on the road.
The Steelers game today could make or break the Giants division hopes. If they loose today, they will be 3 games back so even if they win next week vs Dallas they are still 2 games back with 3 to play. The Cowboys would have to loose 2 of 3 down the stretch (Bucs, Lions, Eagles) which is NOT out of the question while the Giants would have to win out (Lions, Redskins and Eagles), again not out of the question but the game today vs the Steelers and the game next week vs the Cowboys are must wins for the Giants to have any division title hopes.
Because as a rookie, dak would have achieved something in one season that Romo could not do in 10 years which would completely start a new era.
>>>> As an Eagles fan, I take no solace calling exactly this scenario when Romo got hurt. I knew that the Cowboys were much better off without him than with him playing. I don't think they'd have 6 wins had he stayed healthy. But people call Eagles fans fickle when players don't win. I've talked to numerous Cowboys fans( mostly all obnoxious now after years of being subdued fans) and they have all kicked Romo to the curb with only one exception. The one who defends him, well, he's mindlessly loyal to a fault.

You might not but I know many who don't see a threat. Hey, maybe they are right...next 2 weeks will tell it all. Hell I'm not even convinced myself

And lot of people forget when romo came back last season on thanksgiving when he was supposed to be healthy,.he threw two interceptions that was returned for.a td. Dak has only thrown 2 ints all season which is why he is still the starter because he is clearly the better option.

had romo been leading the cowboys this season, i think they would still have a winning record, but i think they would be 8-3 or 7-4 at this point not 11-1. remember that a team is much more than just the quarterback, and elliot and that offensive line have a lot to do with the cowboys winning right now.
Sweet day for Cowboys fans:
Eagles Loose
Giants Loose
Redskins Loose
Cowboys clinch playoff spot..
And they've got a huge lead in the race for the #1 seed. The Giants are three back - even if they beat Dallas next week and own the tiebreaker, they'd still be two back with three to play. And Seattle is two and a half back, with a few difficult games ahead for them.

Yeah true, not that I wanna see them lose but a lost next week won't hurt their chances to win the East. But I really can't see them losing next week to the Giants.
