Dallas Cowboys Best Team in the NFL?

Here are some stats: He is attempting eleven less passes per game than he did in 2012, his last really healthy season. They have been running a lot more with great play from Murray and the offensive line. That does wonders to, again, Romo-proof the team. What stereotypes do you speak of?

If only Miami would have "Marino Proofed" the Dolphins they would have won a superbowl. Denver obviously knew what they were doing when they "Elway Proofed" their team with Terrel Davis. What will Denver have to do to "Manning Proof" their team not to choke another playoff or superbowl loss?

Romo is the only reason the last several years the Cowboys were even 8-8. Manning, Rogers, Brady or Big Ben do not win without an above average running game.

Dallas has lost 4 games this year. Romo never took one snap in spring training and probably shouldn't have been out for the SF game. Washington game he got hurt and things went to hell. AZ game was Wheeden and look how that went. First Philly game the team had 2 practices after the Sunday night game and Romo never practiced...that game was obviously an anomoly.

Sorry, I forgot how much that fatass likes to run.

And another posted so defeated he resorts to trivial fodder. Who is next?

I can see Romo being selected to the Pro Bowl this year.

Interesting year.

With only two weeks left in the season only one team (The Cardinals) has clinched a playoff spot in the entire NFC.

The Cowboys could get the #1 seed or they could miss the playoffs entirely.

Even if the win this weekend they won't clinch a spot.

Keep thinking he sucks.

Once the Eagles took the lead, Romo only threw 8 passes the rest of the game. He completed 7 of them. That's fine with me. He was dropping the ball in perfectly to Dez.

My argument is that he isn't a top-4 quarterback this year. Not that he sucks.

Whoa, man, I thought it was funny. But I am legitimately pissed off at Christie. This is by no means a sign of defeat.

I say without a doubt Wilson, Luck and Rogers are better than Romo. Is P Manning really that great this year? Brady is always good but he's not head and shoulders better than Romo. Big Ben, not this year. Brees, Rivers, Kap, Ryan, Cam, no way. Name every QB who is w/o a doubt better than Romo. There ain't many.

To be serious for a second, I actually have a question for you since you may be in that area based on your handle. Are rational, normal Eagles fans(not even sure if thats a real thing but I digress) actually mad at Christie solely for being a Dallas fan?

Get ready for Seattle to return to the SB, against.....Denver. Peyton gets one more shot.

You are arguing on my side so I don't want to, but I have to respond. Wilson is not in the same galaxy as the guys you listed him with. Rodgers(it has a g), Brady, Manning, Romo, and Big Ben are top tier this season. After that you have guys like Brees, Luck(only second tier due to turnovers recently including two pick sixes in two games), Rivers, and MAYBE Wilson but he's closer to Sanchez than Rodgers. Don't be fooled by a great defense and think Wilson is responsible for them winning

You're crazy if you don't think Luck is good. Luck has no running game to fall back on and so if you're going to throw as much as he has to then you're going to have more picks. That's the argument I've always made for Romo, he pretty much had to carry the team over the past several years. You take an good or above average QB and give them a running game and it's easy to be a top tier guy. All those players you mentioned as being better than Romo have an awesome running game...that is not a coincidence.

Never said Luck isn't good. He is really good. I think within 3-4 years he'll be the best in the league unless someone we haven't seen yet turns out to be great.

Brady, Manning, Rodgers, Romo, and Big Ben have had good running games at some point....but all of those guys have done it without run games as well. Drew Brees has probably had the least consistent running game and defense except for Romo over the past 4 years. Luck puts up big numbers due to throwing it a lot and sometimes that contributes to turnovers. However, I think he is more careless with the ball than some of those other guys as of late.

Hardly. The Packers won the 2010 Superbowl with Brandon Jackson as their starting running back. Yes, he of 703 total yards rushing, 32nd best in a 32-team league. The TEAM had only four rushing touchdowns all year. Dead last in the league.

You're either a total homer or you're high.

Wilson is light years better than Tony Romo. Wilson has more victories than any other quarterback in his first three years. He has a ring. And I know exactly what you'll say: he has a great defense.

Well if his defense is SO good why has he had to engineer 9 fourth quarter comebacks in his short career? Why has he needed 13 game winning drives? Answer: his defense has given up the lead, and he's needed to take it back. This behind a terrible offensive line, and throwing the ball to guys most people have never heard of.

Look, Tony Romo is having a good year. That much we can agree on. But if you look at all starting quarterbacks in the NFL, ranked by career winning percentage, Romo is sitting around 12th. So when his career is compared to his current peers, he is slightly better than average:

Tom Brady .766

Russell Wilson .745

Peyton Manning .682

Andrew Luck .673

Roethlesbeger .671

Aaron Rodgers .664

Kaepernick .651

Flacco .650

Rivers .603

Dalton .602

Foles .600

Romo .592

Matt Ryan .584

Kudos to him on a good year -- due mostly in part to an excellent offensive line, a top-notch running game, and a superstar wide receiver.

The fact that you used a list with kaepernick, dalton, and foles on it takes all credibility from your post. Let me start by saying I am actually a huge Wilson fan going back to his days as a Badger. But he is not nearly as good as Romo. He can use his feet to make plays, doesn't turn the ball over, and is a great leader. However, he can't take over a game and throw for 4 TDs and 400 yards, he's not that type of guy.

Seattle has a terrible offensive line? They ran the ball at will in the 2nd half, and not just with lynch, with turbin as well. They run it better than most actually. And feel free to argue on behalf of Wilson, but I wouldn't use the premise that he saves the day after their defense blows leads, it's silly. Btw since you brought it up wanna guess who has the most 4th qtr/ot comebacks since entering the league?

No, it doesn't. They're all multi- year currently starting QBs. Look it up.

1) The list is current starting quarterbacks.

2) Wilson has been sacked 38 times, 10 more than Romo, and..

3) Of current starters, Manning has the most. Followed by Brady, Eli Manning, Roethlisberger, Brees. Your point?

You sure Romo is not in there? Well he would be if he wasn't so good. Truth is, he's so good he usually has a lead and doesn't have the same comeback opportunities those other guys have. He's at a disadvantage.

Absolutely. If you see any polls that seem 50/50 or showing that a small majority (55% or so) were pissed, you have to understand that tons of cowboy fans are voting on them.

People are absolutely livid. While I do believe it's an unforgivable sin to be a fan of the cowgirls, I could deal with the man liking them. Whatever. To each his own.

But to be sitting IN THE OWNER'S BOX of the stinking COWBOYS. And you are the governor of a state made up of Eagles fans. Every time the cowboys scored they would flip up and show the owner's box and there's Christie, cheering high-fiving Jerry and his family. He shows absolutely no regard for his constituents. It isn't just a game to so many people. Games like that are legitimately painful. He just needed to be a responsible adult and NOT ignore the people he is directly responsible for. Cheer for the team you like, but don't do it on national TV, getting all friendly with Jerry and rubbing it in our faces every time the Cowboys did something good.

I know he's looking forward to a possible presidential run, and Texas gives him more electoral votes than Pennsylvania and New Jersey combined, but let's be honest. That wasn't why he was doing what he did. I won't give him that much credit. IF he becomes the republican candidate, he would win Texas anyways.

If you're interested, here's this little nugget:

And before you judge all Philadelphia fans, understand that the people who got that song made are the same people who went to the 1998 draft and Bood when Donovan McNabb was drafted.
