Breer: Cowboys now have more firepower than 2007 Pats

[ScottieC]

Re: Cowboys now have more firepower than 07' Pats (article)

When Romo wins 10 Playoff games in a row, 3 super bowls, 2 Super Bowl MVP's, 1 League MVP and throws for 50 TD's in one season - call me.

Until then, shut up about the comparisons.

Not even close.... Brady made so many amazing adjustments and hot reads that romo can't even pretend to make, Moss can actually catch, and Wes Welker unlike Roy Williams is good on the field as opposed to good on paper. They combined clutch play with excellent play calling and execution something the cowboys haven't come close to approaching this year

I agree that Welker is better but you can't even begin to tell me that Roy Williams is not good on the field.

Cowboys have a better TE, better RBs, we have better QB and WRs.

However, if the 'Boys win the Super Bowl, I'd give them the edge.

they have a better run blocking o-line

Re: Cowboys now have more firepower than '07 Pats (article)

For the most part I think the comparisons were decent.
Their o-line can be much more dominant than the Pats were last year, which translates into a better running game, and less likelihood of an offensive meltdown when it counts.

Romo is more likely to make mistakes than Brady. TO is more likely to drop balls than Randy, but more able to be effective all over the field than Moss.

Unfortunately for the Girls, they have Wade Phillips steering the ship and not BB. The Girls have some locker room cancers, whereas the Pats did not. And, Brady trumps Romo every day of the week.

their comparisons are not bad, where they are wrong is that taking different parts of an offense and analyzing them individually, they think will portray the results of the unit as a whole...

that is why the 08 boys wont come close to the 07 pats (that plus coaching, something they forget in their comparisons)

They've already lost twice as many games as we did last year.

Also they do not have a QB/WR who will both set historic single season all-time records.

Joke article.

And we didn't give up a first-round pick for Randy Moss, either.

i think he is talking talent comparisons not the production so far. even if we had brady this yr with all the same players from last yr it would be hard to duplicate 16-0,50-0, 23 TDs etc...
its once in a blue moon it happens and lot of things have to fall your way.

Get used to it. The by product of having the greatest football team in the history of the game means that group will be compared to teams for a long long time.

Not quite... Belichick choked his lung out in the Super Bowl. Our Super Bowl teams would technically be better since they actually were World Champs.

 

[Deus Irae]

Breer makes a couple of truly bad assessments, probably the worst being his evaluation of the two offensive lines. The Patriots offensive line last season was tremendous when it came to pass blocking, often giving Brady time to cook and eat a meal before making his throws. Calling that edge to the Cowboys, especially in as decisive a manner as he does, is just silly.

 

[VJCPatriot]

I'll believe it when I see the numbers. If Romo throws for 51 TDs then yeah. Otherwise, it's all just hype.

 

[Rob0729]

With Romo being a major downgrade from Brady, I can't agree with the premise of the article. When you judge an offense it begins and ends with the QB. The Pats offense wouldn't have been what it was last year with Romo running it.

Also, it should be interesting to see if they have the better OC. Even before this trade, the Cowboy's offense had become one dimensional by giving up on the run too quickly (201 pass attempts to 161 rushing attempts for the season and they have gone farther and farther away from the run each week) and predictable because everyone knew where Romo was throwing to. (Gee, where did I hear those arguments before?)

Now that they have Roy Williams and Felix Jones is out, I wonder if they become even more one dimensional and predictable.

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

Firepower. There's an agruable case that the Cows may have more ammo.
But it's the guy pullin' the trigger that counts more.

 

[Pats726]

I would not agree with what he has said..in fact, it's more a tip of the hat to the present maybe as HYPE..as opposed to what the team did last year. A bit surprised..as I have always liked him and his reporting..and insight...THIS I feel is him getting to a larger audience..and striking out in the big leagues. Really..more disappointment...I also don't think he made the case for his boys. (Maybe a major thank you to where he ended up...)

 

[slash83]

They probably do have more targets, Im not going to say better targets but they do have more options then the Pats, but Romo aynt even in the same class as Brady baby!!!!

Nope. Not a chance I'm buying that - I've got 30+ years of watching football and that was the best team I've ever seen, bar none. Even the Fluke Bowl excuse won't sway my opinion.

Lets let history tell the story.

Gracious and generous to a fault, again Miguel.

a lot of us havent watched the cowboys as closely last yr as we did the pats so its tough to say our o line gave brady more time than dallas gave romo.breer was the dallas morning news writer and he has followed the pats closely also. So his assesment isnt just a run of the mill article.
the big difference is wins and losses ...when you go 16-0 , everything looks better than anyone else. dallas has one of the better o lines in football.

its funny how once someone writes something great about the pats its a "great read" and when there is somewhat and objective comparison we hear "i used to like him..but not anymore"
