Would have probably made the playoffs if they were healthy. I hope the Bengals can stay healthy because it does make a difference. What if Dalton didn't get hurt? He would have started the playoff game. Lets just hope the injuries are minor and the Bengals starters are on the field most of the season.
The injuries the Cowboys had would be equivalent to losing Dalton and AJ Green for darn near the entire season.
We lost WJ3 and Billings. No one else looks like they'll miss more than a couple games, and none of those players are as important as Romo or Dez Bryant. The Cowboys also had bad situations at backup QB and RB.
And again, our team dealt with far worse injuries in 2014 and still had a fine season.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
