The ratings have been down for the NFL.  Get a couple more games like today with Dallas at Pittsburgh and the ratings go back through the roof. 8 lead changes.  Dallas goes ahead with a little over a minute to play when it looks like the Steelers let Ezekial Elliott score to preserve the clock.  Smart move.  Dallas goes FUCKING prevent defense and Pittsburgh goes 75 yards on 4 plays.  The TD was scored on the infamous Dan Marino fake spike to stop the clock with Big Ben throwing a strike to Antonio Brown for the go ahead score.  Wow!

Dallas and Dak get the ball back with 42 seconds left and holy shit, they go 75 for the score.  Several quick passes by Prescott aided by a face mask penalty and the Boys are in field goal range.  The Steelers line up to stop the run but Elliot breaks through to the end zone.  Game over.  Killer game. 

No one saw Dak doing this but he has taken this team over.  And Elliott is a freakin' beast.

Nothing personal against romo but you can't risk screwing that chemistry up now.

This is Prescott's team.  If Jerry Jones (And it is absolutely JJ making the decisions) calls for Romo, this team will implode. Ever seen The Replacements?

Glad you two could have some Cowboy love.

It's not that. But you have a rookie qb rb combo leading the nfls best record. That's news. And pretty impressive.

As a Romo fan who has been made fun of more than a couple of time, I say there is absolutely NO WAY to put Romo back in at this point.

But dude is making like $20,000,000 a year for the next 4 years. That is a lot of money owed to that guy. Will be interesting to see what happens.

Oh yeah, it was reported here that Romo will be active this week as Dak's back up...that is crazy to me. I thought they would just keep him completely off the roster for the year.

As old and fragile as he is, he is still a decent qb. And a lot of teams would love to have him even if only for a couple of years to jumpstart their teams. Think Cleveland, buffalo, miami type teams. A trade may be an option with Dallas picking up half his salary for his new team. The new team gets a quality qb cheaply and Dallas gets to shave some cap.

I don't think there would be any cap space shaved in that scenario from what I understand. I could be wrong though.

Yeah I'm not sure how all that works but I thought the new team inherited the contract for the most part. Just assumed. I know he has a few good years left and would hate for it to end for him this way. He would prob make a hell of a coach one day.

Sure, if you wanted your team to suck.

His post season follies aside (that have been uber magnified), he's a field general and has a very high football iq. Think Jason Garrett but more physically gifted as a player.

First coach in the history of the NFL to go on "Injured reserve"

It's like you guys think that coaching and playing are the same thing. Strangest damn thing today.

[Godfather]

Actually that isn't true.  Harbaugh has 2 playoff wins as a starter in 95.

Yeah but isn't that what you are doing.  You are equating him playing to equaling that he would be a good coach.

and I'm just fucking around cause he's a homo.
