    You're misunderstanding my comment.

    Tough it out meaning - he can stay healthy enough to play.

    I'm not worried about his production. That will take care of itself as O-line continues to improve, Rice gets back into the lineup, and the schedule gets easier.

    Cowboys are still fine

    People go a little overboard after losses. It was no secret that the beginning stretch of the Cowboys schedule was one of the toughest in the league. So why are people going to so crazy after this start?


    Don't confuse hope for a plan.

    Re: Cowboys are still fine

    Agreed I can't believe people are overreacting so much. The cowboys are fine.

    Re: Cowboys are still fine

    I'd argue the Cowboys are better off now that Romo is done for the season.

    Re: Cowboys are still fine

    The Cowboys are fine? Really? Even with Romo, starting 1-5 is not good. Kitna isn't terrible, but as sloppy as this game tonight is, I can't see Jerry as loving how the season is going. NFC sucks though, so 8-8 might get you to the playoffs. Great scoring of garbage points from sloppy Giants play, but giving up 41 isn't going to win many games.

    I see the sarcasm detector is offline. I thought after the the OP's post that it was implied but I should know better. I'm pretty sure nobody thinks that cowboys are fine. They are done this season. I'll try to remember to put the jimlad next time.

    Because unlike Notre Dame, in the NFL you actually have to win games to make the playoffs?

    Re: Vikings are still fine

    Talk about looking at the world through rose (purple)-colored glasses. I think I read in this thread that after the Vikings go to 2-5 this week, they'll be favored in every game the rest of the season. I'd be willing to bet that's never happened in the history of the NFL. On some worlds losing does not make you a favorite.

    49ers are fine..

    People go a little overboard after losses. It was no secret that the beginning stretch of the 49ers schedule was one of the toughest in the league. So why are people going to so crazy after this start?

    Heck even Mike Singletary said they're fine and they have a chance at the playoffs still!

    Re: Cowboys are still fine

    So, I would assume the Cowboys are favored in all their remaining games like the Vikings?
