So even with Romo not getting calls, like when he got hit late, or when he was hit late again, he stepped up - repeatedly. Say what you want, but the guys is as tough as any QB in the league. Thoroughly dominated the champs. Defense is playing otherworldly. Ro McClain - AGAIN. Spencer healthy and played well. Offensive line clearly the best in the game. Huge win.

Love Romo, if he didnt make stupid mistakes late in games, he's a top 5 QB.

He also has made a **** ton of great plays late in games. But the games were constantly on his shoulders. He had to throw the ball 40+ times with the defense giving up 28+. Put him on a lot of other teams and he has a lot more success. Roethlisberger isn't nearly as good, either is Wilson, and a lot of other guys.

Cardinals still remain in the division lead after this week. They aren't really this good, but they are playing smart football right now. I think they will compete for a playoff spot for sure though.
Would love to see Dallas get HFA in the playoffs. Would be great to start their season off with a loss and end it as well.

Playing the Waiting Game
doubt the cowboys would gift wrap the niners 2 wins in 1 year
Once the 49ers are fully healthy they wouldn't need any help from any team.
Only reason that game was even close was the refs.

LMAO.
Keep telling yourself that, buddy.
Your offense really isn't that good. Kaep hasn't made much progress. Still an average thrower.
We still handed you guys a lot. We haven't been doing that of late. And you haven't looked too great.

Dilfer put it perfectly about Romo. He said a lot of QBs need to "wear the cape," aka be the hero 2,3,4 times a game. A few years ago, Romo needed to "wear the cape" 9, 10, 11, 12 times a game to even give the Cowboys a shot. And more often than not, he delivered. The mistakes were magnified more. I've been saying this for years. So much on his shoulders week in and week out. More than a large, large majority of QBs.
49ers have probably had the hardest schedule in football. Not easy to look great when you are consistently playing really good team.
Again, Romo had some bad picks but the refs extended at the very least two of your scoring drives and the Aikmen even said so during the game.
Dallas is much better now than what they were in week 1 and by the time the playoffs roll around the 49ers are going to be much better. The secondary has been great this year with no pass rush. When they get one of the top 2-3 pass rushers in the league back its going to be fun.
You are right about Kap but he is still doing enough to win games and at the end of the day wins and losses are the only thing that matters.

So the less than stellar Eagles D shuts the Giants out. That speaks volumes of the Falcons

Eagles can rush the passer. They're not amazing at it, but they have some semblance of a pass rush. Falcons also really are missing LB help. I think that's been their biggest problem in the run game, I think the DL has done an OK job of controlling the OL, if they had Spoon I think things go differently in the run game. But at this point you almost have to wonder if Spoon is the type who'll never stay healthy.
You guys can't control the Line of scrimmage. Until you do that you'll never be a winning team.

You must not watch most QBs in the NFL. Most great QBs in the NFL do that regularly. If you look at a stat like DYAR, it considers the guys who're asked to be heros and come through, and Romo did well in that stat. But he regularly was in the 5-10 range. Romo is an example of a good QB asked to be a great one. He isn't a great QB, he tends to make too many bad decisions, he gets bailed out by his receivers entirely too often, not that other QBs don't get bailed out by their QBs, that would be a lie, but when I watch Dallas I see 3+ plays a receiver makes a well above average play on a ball. Yesterday's 3rd and 20 catch is a prime example of that. I mean what that receiver did to make that catch was nothing short of amazing. Full sprint, leaping, and a toe drag. If he doesn't make that play Dallas loses yesterday.
I'm not taking anything away from Dallas, they played an exceptional game, but I don't want Tony Romo being overrated because Dallas is winning.

Falcons are 2 players away. Their interior DL is strong and 4/5 of their OL is strnog. Baker can't be counted on. They need someone to rush the QB and someone to play RT. They're fine at RB, CB, S, DT, LT, G, and more. C they're OK, LB they have some concerns, Biermann is a good second DE, they need an ace in the hole.

Yeah, I'd love to play that one over again. A healthy Romo and the result is probably different. And before you say I am crying, remember the guy couldn't clear his hips on the throws and get anything on the throws.
Do the 49ers get to play that game with Smith, Bowman, a game shaped Boone and Anthony Davis?
It should be a great game and hopefully we can see it again in the NFC Champ game.
You are two all-pro's away. Lots of teams can say that.

No they're not 2 All-Pros. They're one impact DL and one solid RT. A good first and second round pick could do it. I named 2 players that the falcons could draft who could be that player.
