“We’re anxious to get him back”, tight end Jason Witten said. We’re not getting any younger in this game. They should be no worse than 9-6 heading into the finale. “Robert Klemko of TheMMQB.com wrote that Bryant “blew up” at a reporter and said: “‘Until they stop disrespecting this team I don’t give a f-k.

IRVING, Texas – The last time Tony Romo was a scout-team quarterback was 2006. They could easily be 7-4 before going to New England. When the run game with Alfred Morris and rookie Matt Jones is working, the Redskins are tough to beat.
Eli Manning has the NY Giants (5-4) in first place, a half-game ahead of the inconsistent Eagles (4-4).
Sam Bradford and DeMarco Murray will be the key players for the Eagles as they pursue a division title.
Much like the rest of his teammates, Graham has three of his four sacks over the past three games, which isn’t all that different from the fact that his best statistical season came in his fourth year after the Eagles traded up to select him 13th overall back in 2010 over the likes of Jason Pierre-Paul and Earl Thomas. Prior to Sunday night’s meeting between the Eagles and Cowboys, FOX had a few fun with the division in a parody video.
Dallas had several injuries in the game, including LB Sean Lee’s second concussion of the year, but none was as damaging as the loss of Hicks (who had added a pick-six to his glittering stats before he went down).
“We have to address why it hasn’t been good enough”, said Garrett, whose longest losing streak in five years as coach was two games before the current skid.
With Tony Romo set to take the field in 10 days against the Dolphins, there is a reason that Mincey is trying to get this team focused on the task at hand. If the Cowboys are smart, they have an eye on the offseason already, a time that may signal big changes for a franchise in desperate need of a do-over. The more functionality that is found in a Romo-led offense creates opportunities for the defense. It will great to that type or pressure on the field and that type of leadership.
What it’s going to take is a strong look in the mirror from everyone involved. Also, as has been the case all season, the quarterback situation in Philadelphia continues to be evaluated as the Eagles try to figure out what will happen at the position in the long-term future. The Dallas Morning News reports that Bryant should be “fine” for the game on Sunday, but he missed practice on Wednesday and was limited on Thursday for the Cowboys. If you think the season is over, you’re one of those fans. If Washington escapes November with a victory, it’ll be progress (and if they do get a victory, hope it’s against New York). If Mincey is right and “enough is enough”, these guys have the ability to win and win big.

It’s just too much to ask from the 35-year-old signal caller to will this deflated team back to make a second-half playoff push. Anything is possible for the Cowboys with number nine at the helm.
