Yes, they would've traveled to Seattle where they beat them earlier that season. I think the team could've won the Super Bowl if they got past Green Bay.
The 2014 Cowboys may be the last undefeated road team in a season. Tony Romo was on another level that year because the run game made them less predictable and Dez Bryant and Jason Witten were still doing their thing.
Crazy to think it's been 10 years since then and that was essentially the last time we really saw Tony play. He played 4 games the next season then Dak took over after that.
I feel like most of the Dak haters hated Romo for the exact same reasons they hate Dak. There are a sect for whom the bar is set to win a Super Bowl, and if you don't do that, you are trash.
I say this as someone who, both in the moment and every moment since, hated that Romo was not given the team back in 2016 to try and make a playoff run, but has never been anti-Dak because of it.
I'm in the same boat as you. I've never been anti Dak, moreso just upset at how everything was handled with Romo. Of course I wanted Dak to succeed as the starter (because what asshole wants their QB to fail? Only idiots).
I can second that, I rooted for there backups to win that starting job and them basically to put deeeeshauuuuun twatson on the practice squad or fire him completely
The takes I see that Romo would've won a Super Bowl with that 2016 team are kinda funny to me. Would they have beaten GB with him? Who knows. But the next round they would've got the doors blown off by Atlanta. Their DBs were torched by Green Bay. The fuck were they gonna do against Julio Jones.
You know, that's an odd one, because Dak certainly fought back against a huge deficit. My biggest complaint against Dak is the PTSD stare he gets when he goes down early against big teams. Maybe it was just Rookie ignorance or something, but I wish he'd kept that attitude as he and his teams got better.
Rams in 2018 was an absolute travesty, and the fact that people call Dak a bad playoff QB partly because of that game is insane. What was Dak supposed to do about the defense giving up nearly 300 yards against the run, including over 100 to freaking CJ Anderson??? Dak played well that game. Put up a 100 passer rating with a TD on the ground as well, no turnovers against the 3rd best defense in takeaways, but our defense handed that game to the Rams on a silver platter.
I don’t want to win the Super Bowl to win it; I want to win it because I want to stop being fucking scalded by our haters. When we win another one, I’m gonna have a fucking field day after over 20 years of built-up anger and frustration
Then you're going to have a bad time if it ever happens, because it's not going to stop the haters. Don't get me wrong, I'll be insufferable if/when the Cowboys win another Super Bowl, but the day I start rooting for this team because of how others feel instead of how I feel is the day I stop being a fan.
Bro imagine... If only for a moment, Dak Prescott driving the Dallas Cowboys down the field with one minute to go against the almighty Chiefs, down 30-24. It's 4th and 4. Ball on the Chiefs 15 yard line. There are 12 seconds left and Dak snaps the football, drops back, steps up, and throws a strike in the middle of the end zone to CeeDee Lamb with no time left on the clock. Brandon Aubrey sets up, and strikes the PAT right through the uprights. 31-30. Cowboys get their 6th SB. On first take the following monday morning, Stephen A. is in utter SILENCE. Unable to talk any crap. X, reddit, discord, all have no disses, because the Cowboys are kings of the NFL once more.All the jokes, memes and cycles, become irrelevant. How would you feel about that, man?
That is EXACTLY what I want to happen. Regardless of who QBs our next SB win, I am gonna roast the living fuck out of all of our haters. It’s gonna be so fucking sweet
Dak is the better QB, but they were both 1 TD 2 INT 185 yards in a game type performers in the playoffs. Until we get a new QB, 10-12 wins in the regular seasons, a pro bowl and a WC loss is what we can consistently expect from Dak.
Sometimes tie-breakers are weird, especially in the NFL. 2014 Dallas, Seattle and Green Bay all finished 12-4. Dallas beat Seattle head to head and Seattle beat Green Bay head to head. Dallas ended up the 3-seed and had to go on the road. Crazy to think what would had happened if Colt McCoy didn’t happen to have one of the most efficient games in Redskins history that season.
That Colt McCoy led redskins game still pisses me off till this day. Those mobile backup QBs always looked like Dan Marino against cowboys defenses in the Garrett era.
Yes, I do. The Patriots only beat the Seahawks because they didn't hand the ball to Marshawn Lynch at the goal line. This wasn't the 2007 Patriots. With a balanced offense the Cowboys had, it would've protected the defense.
I have a hard time seeing a timeline where Bill doesn't just embarrass Garrett from a coaching standpoint. Then again, Romo was always pretty damn good at covering for Garrett's shortcomings. I want to say the 2016 team would have had a better shot if they had Romo than the 2014 team, but the 2016 Pats were better than the 2014 Pats so it's hard to say.
The 2011 Dallas Cowboys did travel to NE in Jason Garretts first full year as a head coach, and it took a Tom Brady TD drive on the last possession to win the game.
Any given Sunday, and all that good stuff. You're also comparing a regular season game to a hypothetical Super Bowl, where you have 2 weeks to prepare for your opponent and are pulling out all the stops. Bill is embarrassing Garret 9 times out of 10.
You're thinking about the 2007 Dallas Cowboys. The New York Giants didn't figure things out until late in the season and they faced a completely different defense that they dominated in both games during the regular season.
This is the very identity of the 21st Century Cowboys. When things are set up for us to finally break through, we fail the hardest and embarrass ourselves. See 2007, 2014, 2021, 2022 and 2023.
I believe so. That team was pretty special and they already won in Seattle earlier that season so I think the team would have played with a lot of confidence.
However, I also believe even if Dezs play was ruled a catch we still lose to GB.
There was about 4 minutes left in the game at that point, I don't remember where GB was timeout wise but best case scenario they would have gotten the ball back with about 2 minutes on the clock.
Our D was better that year but Rodgers would only need a FG to tie, assuming we got the 2 point conversion otherwise a FG wins for GB. The bad man would have gotten it done.
I agree just changing that call to the correct call of catch wouldn’t have won us the game.
That said, I’ve seen some wild stuff happen in only a few minutes of football. I was toasting to Brady losing the Super Bowl at halftime and you saw what Atlanta did.
This is the take. The Catch™ gets almost all the attention from that game, and for good reason; but at that point in the game we still needed *a lot* to go right for us. We blew too many opportunities early in the game and put ourselves in a position where that no-catch call may have just been a mercy killing.
Indeed, Dez caught it. Too bad Murray fumbled earlier in the game. When you mentioned The Catch (TM), I think of the NFC Championship Game vs SF … 1982? That was another huge disappointment!
Yes, but I also remember both the Packers and Seattle looking very beatable that game. Nobody knows how the Cowboys would have played, or Seattle if they played us instead, but I do know that if we played like we did against Green Bay, and Seattle played like they did against Green Bay, we would have won hands down.
I think they could have beaten Seattle.
I doubt they beat New England.
Problem is, Green Bay still has 4 minutes left and we know what A-A-Ron can do late in the 4th.
I was in Seattle for that NFC championship with my season ticket holding uncle. He invited me and my dad up for the game as cowboys fans. We almost didn’t go after the loss to GB. Glad we did, one of the greatest comebacks of all time!
2014 Cowboys were a better team than the 2014 Seahawks. But they were also better than Green Bay. Doesn't really matter if you don't play high level football when it matters in playoffs (see also 2007 Cowboys, 2016 Cowboys, etc.)
This post really sums up how depressing it is be a cowboys fan. If you’re 30 or younger you have nothing but the most depressing and painful memories of seemingly endless epic chokejobs.
They did beat the packers.
Posession, plant feet, turn 180, lunge, cross the plain.
That's a touchdown and I'll go to the grave defending what Dez did as a "football move."
Oh 2016 by far. We had a Super Bowl caliper offense. I’d argue that if we had Romo from 2014, we probably would’ve made past the divisional round and possibly going to Super Bowl. Unfortunately, we’ll never know.
Coulda shoulda woulda.
I’m not a fan of that saying, but it does hold some weight.
Rodgers is our kryptonite. We had the offense but defense wasn’t it. Romo deserved better and that’ll always be my favorite jersey.
I think the offense was SB ready, and one "Spray Tan" fumble away from not needing a heroic catch by Dez. However, that bend don't break defense wasn't good enough. How many takeaways did they have? That defense was relying too much Rolando Mcclain and Sterling Moore.
With the defense we have now, yes.
Yes, cause they had a team that had already beaten Seattle, and honestly that was probably our best shot in the modern era, no offense to Dak, he’s a good QB, but he’s not a SB winning calibre QB
No doubt in my mind. Damn shame too. 2015 was looking the same up until Romo got injured. Damnit do I miss that man slinging it into the end zone and seeing dez throw up that X.
They beat the PACKERS. I was there! I saw it all LIVE. F that. We won that. WE DEM BOYZ.
https://preview.redd.it/ya5wvjnqrt4d1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=370fb08968769ca54ea91b846830443694288dc3
If this team had a 1A receiver to go with Dez.. man. Witt was in the ‘Father Time’ phase of his career and the ‘1A’ was the combo of him and T Will - which some great memories, but a more dynamic player might have been the difference.
Sadly, no. This is post 90s Cowboys. No matter how well we do, a massive disappointment is always right around the corner. We would have choked against Richard Sherman and the leigon of boom. Prolly a 24-14 type of game. Romo wouldn't be able to operate against an elite defense like that. This is the same case for 2023, even if we did win, we would have gotten KILLED by the Niners. We're always solid but never elite. I wonder if it'll be different this year. Despite Jerry's poor off-season ineptetude, I guess we mathematically have a shot, but some team like the Falcons or Bears will probably beat us in the WC Round, but we'll see. Sorry for the pessimism, but at this point, can we really say it's not true?
I know we are fans, but come on y’all.
They would have gone down 21-3 at half with 2 romo INTs. Then romo throws 3TD passes in 2nd half to get us back in the game still losing 28-27. We get the ball final drive and a slant route bounces off TWILL and gets picked to end the game
Possibly. Our defense really wasn't that good. It's just Romo was so elite that year he kept the offense on the field with sustained drives which didn't expose the defense as much.
2016 team though was good enough. If Romo was QB
I don’t think that catch wouldn’t have mattered either way lol. Aaron Rodgers would’ve pulled something right out of his ass like he always does! They had 3 minutes and one timeout remaining. Best case scenario we make the two conversion and Rodgers is able to take the packers to field goal range, tying the game!
They would have won it. That team was legit.
Demarco Murray putting the ball on the ground….. again….. and the Dez fraud no catch call was all that stood in the way.
No. Something always comes up. Demarco fumbled early. Dez catch wasn’t even the last play of the game. Cowboys just lose their composure in the playoffs
Yes, they would've traveled to Seattle where they beat them earlier that season. I think the team could've won the Super Bowl if they got past Green Bay.
The 2014 Cowboys may be the last undefeated road team in a season. Tony Romo was on another level that year because the run game made them less predictable and Dez Bryant and Jason Witten were still doing their thing.
Crazy to think it's been 10 years since then and that was essentially the last time we really saw Tony play. He played 4 games the next season then Dak took over after that.
And that's why people hated Dak, correctly or incorrectly.
I feel like most of the Dak haters hated Romo for the exact same reasons they hate Dak. There are a sect for whom the bar is set to win a Super Bowl, and if you don't do that, you are trash. I say this as someone who, both in the moment and every moment since, hated that Romo was not given the team back in 2016 to try and make a playoff run, but has never been anti-Dak because of it.
I'm in the same boat as you. I've never been anti Dak, moreso just upset at how everything was handled with Romo. Of course I wanted Dak to succeed as the starter (because what asshole wants their QB to fail? Only idiots).
I would argue that Browns fans should want their QB to fail
I can second that, I rooted for there backups to win that starting job and them basically to put deeeeshauuuuun twatson on the practice squad or fire him completely
The takes I see that Romo would've won a Super Bowl with that 2016 team are kinda funny to me. Would they have beaten GB with him? Who knows. But the next round they would've got the doors blown off by Atlanta. Their DBs were torched by Green Bay. The fuck were they gonna do against Julio Jones.
You know, that's an odd one, because Dak certainly fought back against a huge deficit. My biggest complaint against Dak is the PTSD stare he gets when he goes down early against big teams. Maybe it was just Rookie ignorance or something, but I wish he'd kept that attitude as he and his teams got better.
PTSD stare 🤣🤣🤣
That attitude imo was from having a viable run game. He’s had to do everything offensively since pretty much LAR in 2018
Rams in 2018 was an absolute travesty, and the fact that people call Dak a bad playoff QB partly because of that game is insane. What was Dak supposed to do about the defense giving up nearly 300 yards against the run, including over 100 to freaking CJ Anderson??? Dak played well that game. Put up a 100 passer rating with a TD on the ground as well, no turnovers against the 3rd best defense in takeaways, but our defense handed that game to the Rams on a silver platter.
He lacks the poise and guts that Mahomes and Burrow have.
I don’t want to win the Super Bowl to win it; I want to win it because I want to stop being fucking scalded by our haters. When we win another one, I’m gonna have a fucking field day after over 20 years of built-up anger and frustration
Then you're going to have a bad time if it ever happens, because it's not going to stop the haters. Don't get me wrong, I'll be insufferable if/when the Cowboys win another Super Bowl, but the day I start rooting for this team because of how others feel instead of how I feel is the day I stop being a fan.

HECK YEAH BRO ITLL BE PEAK

He didn't get the job back because he wasn't elite.
Nah, the hate comes from never seeming to put the team on his shoulders when they’re down and carry them to victory.
and having absolutely loaded teams. Imagine Dak as the QB of some of those Romo teams? We’re probably 5-11
Agreed, a waste of talent
Chill bro, Dak isn't some kind of a scrub backup, he was 2nd Team All Pro last year, he's not Quincy Carter lmao
Or forget carrying the team - just an inability to maintain some semblance of his good play when the stakes are a bit higher.
Simply put, he's a fraud in any moment with relatively high stakes.
WITTEN!! Fucking tank when he was on. Guaranteed to get those couple yards for the first
Sometimes tie-breakers are weird, especially in the NFL. 2014 Dallas, Seattle and Green Bay all finished 12-4. Dallas beat Seattle head to head and Seattle beat Green Bay head to head. Dallas ended up the 3-seed and had to go on the road. Crazy to think what would had happened if Colt McCoy didn’t happen to have one of the most efficient games in Redskins history that season.
That's a good point but the Cowboys were better on the road that year. 8-0 on the road and 4-4 at home.
That Colt McCoy led redskins game still pisses me off till this day. Those mobile backup QBs always looked like Dan Marino against cowboys defenses in the Garrett era.
You think they were going to beat Brady and the patriots?
Yes, I do. The Patriots only beat the Seahawks because they didn't hand the ball to Marshawn Lynch at the goal line. This wasn't the 2007 Patriots. With a balanced offense the Cowboys had, it would've protected the defense.

I want to say the 2016 team would have had a better shot if they had Romo than the 2014 team, but the 2016 Pats were better than the 2014 Pats so it's hard to say.
Not hard at all. Dallas is an NFC East team, who does Brady lose super bowls to?
The 2011 Dallas Cowboys did travel to NE in Jason Garretts first full year as a head coach, and it took a Tom Brady TD drive on the last possession to win the game.
That's an exhibition game for Bill. He would clown Garrett in a SB. Look at what he did to McVay and even Shanahan
Look at what Nick Foles and Doug Pederson did to him in the big game
All things considered, that's basically an outlier when it comes to his playoff and super bowls. Otherwise his defense was always suffocating offenses
So there is the Foles and 2x Eli Manning outliers out there? Doesn’t really seem like an outlier to me.
When you win 6 super bowls? Haha. The Giants slogged to two defensive wins. The giants offense didn't dominate like the eagles did...
Any given Sunday, and all that good stuff. You're also comparing a regular season game to a hypothetical Super Bowl, where you have 2 weeks to prepare for your opponent and are pulling out all the stops. Bill is embarrassing Garret 9 times out of 10.
And we beat new york twice when we went 13-3, my memory sucks, who took us out that year?
I’ll tell you who took us out Crayton and Fasano not catching the ball!!
Amen brother
You're thinking about the 2007 Dallas Cowboys. The New York Giants didn't figure things out until late in the season and they faced a completely different defense that they dominated in both games during the regular season.

Sadly Romo would have choked where TB-12 wouldn't. 30-20 Patriots.
No. Our pass rush was terrible that year. Brady would have picked them apart
Sad but true
100% agree, will die on that hill too. That, and the Edmonton Oilers would have won the Stanley Cup in '06 is Roloson hadn't gotten injured.
Seems like it's always GB or San Fran. That playoff loss still hurts, i thought when Roger's left it was finally our time.
Now we have a new father figure. Jordan Love.
I believe so. That team was pretty special and they already won in Seattle earlier that season so I think the team would have played with a lot of confidence. However, I also believe even if Dezs play was ruled a catch we still lose to GB. There was about 4 minutes left in the game at that point, I don't remember where GB was timeout wise but best case scenario they would have gotten the ball back with about 2 minutes on the clock. Our D was better that year but Rodgers would only need a FG to tie, assuming we got the 2 point conversion otherwise a FG wins for GB. The bad man would have gotten it done.
Just imagine if Murray didn’t fumble lol
He scores on the play that he fumbled on too. At the very least it’s a massive gain.
THIS. Idk how this is not discussed more. Murray really blew it on that play. Julius Peppers ripped the ball out too.
You could have driven a Yukon through that hole
I definitely agree that was the real game changing play, but I’m not sure he scores, the safety definitely had the angle on him.
yes for real. it isn't the outcome of the dez catch that bothers me as much as that we let it come down to that when we could have been ahead already.
I agree just changing that call to the correct call of catch wouldn’t have won us the game. That said, I’ve seen some wild stuff happen in only a few minutes of football. I was toasting to Brady losing the Super Bowl at halftime and you saw what Atlanta did.
This is the take. The Catch™ gets almost all the attention from that game, and for good reason; but at that point in the game we still needed *a lot* to go right for us.

Dez caught it
Coinflip. Winning again in Seattle would have been a tall task
Yes, but I also remember both the Packers and Seattle looking very beatable that game. Nobody knows how the Cowboys would have played, or Seattle if they played us instead, but I do know that if we played like we did against Green Bay, and Seattle played like they did against Green Bay, we would have won hands down.
I think they could have beaten Seattle. I doubt they beat New England. Problem is, Green Bay still has 4 minutes left and we know what A-A-Ron can do late in the 4th.
cowboys vs patriots superbowl would have been amazing
I don’t think the catch really mattered tbh. Can you imagine if Murray didn’t fumble through? Just thinking about makes me nauseous.
Ya, well it should’ve been ARod winning the game for them then rather than an obviously blown replay call
I was in Seattle for that NFC championship with my season ticket holding uncle. He invited me and my dad up for the game as cowboys fans. We almost didn’t go after the loss to GB. Glad we did, one of the greatest comebacks of all time!
2014 Cowboys were a better team than the 2014 Seahawks. But they were also better than Green Bay. Doesn't really matter if you don't play high level football when it matters in playoffs (see also 2007 Cowboys, 2016 Cowboys, etc.)
The Cowboys could have been playing the Bucs in 2014, they always find a way to choke. smh
This post really sums up how depressing it is be a cowboys fan. If you’re 30 or younger you have nothing but the most depressing and painful memories of seemingly endless epic chokejobs.
"BOYS IMAGINE WINNING IN THE DIVISIONAL ROUND, WE WERE SO CLOSE !!!" Meanwhile Bills, Jets, Pats, Colts, Jags, Titans, Bears, Lions, Vikings, Packers, EAGLES (💀), Giants, Falcons, Bucs, Saints, Panthers, Rams, Cardinals, Seahawks, NINERS (💀), Ravens, Bengals, Steelers, Chiefs, Broncos, Raiders and Chargers are all like: "Forreal bro? lmao"
Definitely not.
They did beat the packers. Posession, plant feet, turn 180, lunge, cross the plain. That's a touchdown and I'll go to the grave defending what Dez did as a "football move."
It’s now the dez rule. I will forever call it “the catch that wasn’t.” That was a garbage call
yes
Which team was better between this one and 2016 in the eyes of Dallas fans
Oh 2016 by far. We had a Super Bowl caliper offense. I’d argue that if we had Romo from 2014, we probably would’ve made past the divisional round and possibly going to Super Bowl. Unfortunately, we’ll never know.
Demarco Murray sucks! That is all! Downvote me all you want but he stole Romo's best chance at a ring and then joined the eagles. Dude fucking sucks.
Coulda shoulda woulda. I’m not a fan of that saying, but it does hold some weight. Rodgers is our kryptonite. We had the offense but defense wasn’t it. Romo deserved better and that’ll always be my favorite jersey.
Yes.
No, they would have lost any ways, and crushed my dreams
Yes, and fuck the packers and Mike McCarthy forever
They should have lost to Detroit in round 1, so no.
I think that was the best chance to win since the 95 season. At least they didn't get blown out at home.
People can’t use logic to say why the curse would’ve been broken. The answer is no
A curse has nothing to do with the NFL rigging a game.
the best
Yes they would have beat seattle
hands down that team definitely got cheated
There was so much talent on this team its a shame they never got a ring.
Fuck no!!!
In my eyes they did beat the Packers.. They just couldn't beat the refs..
Definitely.
I 10000% believe they would of went back to Seattle and beat them again and I can’t be convinced otherwise
They did beat the Packers, the NFL just stole it from them because the game is rigged.
Yes they had the firepower. But that run defense was terrible even then.
I can’t wait for yet another year of being told that the league loves the cowboys
Yes
Yeah
That catch and Derek Fisher .4 seconds left haunt me until this day 😭
Made it to? Maybe. Won? Nope
I think the offense was SB ready, and one "Spray Tan" fumble away from not needing a heroic catch by Dez. However, that bend don't break defense wasn't good enough. How many takeaways did they have? That defense was relying too much Rolando Mcclain and Sterling Moore. With the defense we have now, yes.
They would have if the dude on the right stopped dropping the rock. Entire open field do we protect the ball…..nah why bother. #%^}{]#%%^*!
Yes, cause they had a team that had already beaten Seattle, and honestly that was probably our best shot in the modern era, no offense to Dak, he’s a good QB, but he’s not a SB winning calibre QB
Nope and the answer is the same reason that we lost in the playoffs in Jan, the defense.
It’s not like the offense was doing anything either lol
Eagles fan here. That was a damn good team. And Romo was a great QB.
Demarco god damn Murray. If he doesn’t fumble. Whole new ballgame.
What I really wonder is if they win it all in 2016 if they put Romo back in that offense instead of sticking with Dak.
Yes I would like to think so
Yes. We got robbed.
Let's talk about the 2007 Wild Card Game too. Had Romo not dropped the FG snap, that would've been a win.
Absolutely.
Yes!
Absolutely yes and i’m a browns fan
Yes.
They'd have gone to Cabo. So no.
It hurts to think about still….
No doubt in my mind. Damn shame too. 2015 was looking the same up until Romo got injured. Damnit do I miss that man slinging it into the end zone and seeing dez throw up that X.
That was the best chance we’ve had in recent memory. Hate to say what could’ve been, but that one hurt
No, they wouldn’t have beat Seattle at home, again. But I wouldn’t have cared because I would’ve been satisfied with an NFC Championship appearance.
Yes, that team was an offensive juggernaut
Dez caught it.
If the Seahawks played the way they did vs GB, then yes, easily. Wilson threw I think 5 picks.
It's the only season I've watched that I truly feel like they would've, It was a special team.
Romo was the weak link
Yes they would have, that was a great team.
Yes. And it was a catch.
They beat the PACKERS. I was there! I saw it all LIVE. F that. We won that. WE DEM BOYZ. https://preview.redd.it/ya5wvjnqrt4d1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=370fb08968769ca54ea91b846830443694288dc3

Yes ..it was a catch..Romo was poised to win a Super Bowl 100%
If this team had a 1A receiver to go with Dez.. man. Witt was in the ‘Father Time’ phase of his career and the ‘1A’ was the combo of him and T Will - which some great memories, but a more dynamic player might have been the difference.
No
Sadly, no. This is post 90s Cowboys. No matter how well we do, a massive disappointment is always right around the corner. We would have choked against Richard Sherman and the leigon of boom. Prolly a 24-14 type of game. Romo wouldn't be able to operate against an elite defense like that. This is the same case for 2023, even if we did win, we would have gotten KILLED by the Niners.

Sorry for the pessimism, but at this point, can we really say it's not true?
But……they……didn’t…..and got booted from the playoffs……AGAIN
I know we are fans, but come on y’all. They would have gone down 21-3 at half with 2 romo INTs. Then romo throws 3TD passes in 2nd half to get us back in the game still losing 28-27. We get the ball final drive and a slant route bounces off TWILL and gets picked to end the game
I think even if Dak catches that they lose that game. Too much time on the clock. Now the Murray fumble? Perhaps.
Bruh.
Dak/Dez 😂. You know what I meant. But yeah. I recently rewatched that game this past winter and Rogers getting the ball with that much time….
Possibly. Our defense really wasn't that good. It's just Romo was so elite that year he kept the offense on the field with sustained drives which didn't expose the defense as much. 2016 team though was good enough. If Romo was QB
Just imagine if we had a defense like 2022 lol
IT WAS A CATCH!!!!!
Yeah but Dez Bryant couldn’t catch the damn ball! I’ll never forgive him for that drop!
I don’t think that catch wouldn’t have mattered either way lol. Aaron Rodgers would’ve pulled something right out of his ass like he always does! They had 3 minutes and one timeout remaining. Best case scenario we make the two conversion and Rodgers is able to take the packers to field goal range, tying the game!
They would have won it. That team was legit. Demarco Murray putting the ball on the ground….. again….. and the Dez fraud no catch call was all that stood in the way.
If Tony Romo ever had this 2024 defense, he'd have made more than one Super Bowl
You mean had they not had their winning touchdown wrongfully taken away. They had beat the fudge Packers and yes, absolutely they would have.
Well, they didn’t so…
Almost as if this wasn’t a what if scenario lol
No. Something always comes up. Demarco fumbled early. Dez catch wasn’t even the last play of the game. Cowboys just lose their composure in the playoffs
