The problem is...

[ThoughtExperiment]

How were we more beat up? We had pretty much every starter except Scandrick (or Claiborne).

They were missing Benjamin, who is almost like their Dez.

Their injuries = insignificant
Our injuries = Impossible to overcome

See how that works? Also, officials and stuff.

Carolina wasn't healthier than we were. Can't blame that one on injuries at all.

You think Romo was 100%? Crawford is certainly nowhere near 100%. Gregory hasnt been since week one. Hitchens has been in and out of games the past several weeks because of his issues.

Scandrick isnt the only guy gone for yr by the way. Dunbar and T McClain have both been gone since early in season too. I think McClain would probably be getting a lot more PT than Hayden at this point had he stayed healthy, and Dunbar was doing an excellent job in his role.

Dude... You think all the Panthers on the field were all 100%? Everyone in the NFL is beat up by now. We just don't know about all their dings because we don't follow the team.

Yes, they definitely were.

Also, think of all the game changing plays Claiborne would have made had he been available.

Kuechely (don't care how it's spelled get a better name) has been hurt.

They've had other injuries at LB and secondary.

Ted Ginn healthy is just as detrimental as 3 injured players.

 

[Doomsday]

Maurice Claiborne healthy is just as detrimental as 3 injured players.

FIXED!

Sarcasm Boi at it again I see.

Its always somebody else's fault

Is it not possible that Romo read the defense correctly according to the Cowboy playbook and made the adjustment which, according to the unchanging "system" that Garrett runs, placed Witten exactly where he was supposed to be, prior to Romo's throw? And then with Romo following this ridiculously repeating system of sameness, Kuechly just ran to the spot where Romo was supposed to throw it and got there first? Since Romo threw the ball anticipating the window for Witten, Romo really didn't do anything wrong. He followed the play. The issue that has plagued the Garrett playbook since Dan Campbell on the Lions said Dallas plays the same in games as on tape, since Ray Lewis said that Dallas plays the same in games as on tape, since Dom Capers said that Dallas plays the exact same way in games as on tape and since Kuechly knew the route better than Witten, IF the defense knows the play that is coming and the play has no variable, the defense has the advantage no matter how well it is executed. Especially....in a TIMING based offense where the destination is predetermined.

And let's not forget Murray, yelling out the routes of our receivers pre-snap, to Eagles defenders last time we played them.

Garrett's idea seems to be, "who cares if they know what we're going to do, can they stop it."

Yes Barack Garrett, they can.

No, its not possible. If it were he wouldn't have had the career success he has had. He's been in essentially the same offense since 2007.

No, its not possible. If it were he wouldn't have had the career success he has had. He's been in essentially the same offense since 2007.

And that success was due to Romo's improvisation within that system; damn sure wasn't because of it. It's a crap system.

Romo got hurt the first time when they ran that idiotic 5-wide - empty backfield play. You have 5 receivers going up against one of the worst secondaries in the league, and yet not a single one of those receivers was able to get open. All the while you have two LBs. just standing around holding their dicks, and then one says to the other, "Hey! Let's go blitz Romo!"

You know the rest.

For awhile the leading receiver was Dunbar. Yeah. It's a crap system.
