We have always had a hard time winning Chi-town!
I hope their QB has one of his bad days and Romo has one of his good days!
That game on Turkey day about made me PUKE!!!

Still recall Cutler pedaling an exercise bike on the sideline as his team battled deep in the playoffs.
You can keep them both!
McCoy who had struggled most of the season gashed them for 160 yards in 3 quarters. Forte is also pretty good and a viable threat as a receiver too so Dallas has to be cognizant of that, too. Chicago has a stellar receiving corps. Dallas has Dez Bryant and Williams, an over the hill Witten and that surfer dude with the long blond hair, lol.

Jay cutlet is the highest paid and most useless QB combination in recent memory. But if I had to choose between him and Romo I'd ask Drew Bledsoe to come out of retirement instead

I hoping for some inspired, enthusiastic play with a sense of urgency.
If that aint there..........little chance for the win.

9-4 certainly will look better than 8-5 but I don't feel they need to win out. Of course it will help but not necessary imo. It's a two team race in the east and the Eagles most likely will lose a few. They still need to play Seattle, the Cowboys, Washington and the Giants. Don't concede the division just yet.

Kidding.
Well.....
Okay, yes, I'm kidding.
Seriously, though, there is no reason why the Cowboys shouldn't waltz in and take care of business. Unless their early-season play was a ruse, which -- and we all know it -- may very well be the case.
The Bears are absolute garbage on the defensive side of the ball. On average, they have given up as many points per game as the Raiders. Shall I repeat that?
Offensively, they do in fact have weapons. But don't let that fool you. Devoid of cohesion, superfluous disorder. I am soo tired of Cutler. Million-dollar arm, ten-cent head. Allow me to mark one off of my things-I-never-thought-I'd-say list: What I wouldn't give to go back to the late 70s/early 80s and watch superlative signal callers like Mike Phipps, Vince Evans and Bob Avellini. At least those guys were expected to suck. Wasn't Jay Cutler supposed to be, like, extraordinary and stuff? Dude has 14 picks this year. Only Blake Bortles has more. Shall I repeat that? When you have Alshon Jeffery, Brandon Marshall and Matt Forte at your disposal, that should never, ever, ever, ever...........wait, one more time.........ever.........happen.
With all of that said: Chi 31, Dal 28
To the bank, baby.
Isn't that crazy........they are undefeated (5-0) on the road!
easy. I mean WAY easy. Although in full disclosure, I am a closet Bears fan since they have grabbed up
Jarred Allen. He is on a very short list of my all-time favorite players
<< <i>Dallas should do well, it's an away game. >>
It's funny. Years ago, the away games in the blue road jerseys were always the kiss of death. This season sure is different.

Playing soft because of a big lead will get you beat against a good team!!!!
NOT SATISFIED WITH THE PLAY IN THIS GAME AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Luckily, Chicago is not that. I told you not to sweat this game, DM...just listen to me. And you know what? Sea is going to beat Philly this week and Dallas is going to beat Philly in 2 weeks and guess who will control their fate for the NFC East title? Now, in the playoffs, all bets are off, LOL..

<< <i>Grote - we play the beagles next....not 2 weeks! I'm glad you are guarenteeing a win.......I feel OK now! LOL
Next is like having a bye week now, though~10 days to get ready!

The coaching staff will need all 10 days to teach the players how to play with a BIG lead!!! Just in case we get one.
Dallas first drive, Murray misses a block on the end resulting in a sack which takes Cowboys out of FG range.
Pass Interference on Carr on 3rd and 8; Scandrick 6yd tackle for loss helped bring up 3rd and 16.
Romo throws high to Witten on 3rd down.
Bruce Carter gets a piece of the ball and the punter; leads to good field position for Cowboys.
Murray converts on 4th & 1, Murray converts on 4th and goal TD
Marshall makes big juggling catch , Bears convert on 4th and 7 and Marshall takes a knee to the back from Church and leaves game.
Bennett wide open for TD
Romo converts 3rd and 15 to Witten. Beasley catches TD pass on 2nd play of the hurry up 2 minute offense just before half.
Dallas makes a lucky strip fumble from Forte. Romo gets flushed from the pocket makes a good touch throw to Beasley for the TD 21-7 Cowboys
Melton deflects a Cutler pass on 3rd down, Harris returns punt for a score but block in the back negates TD
Romo makes a big play to Bryant for 44 yards/ Romo to Escobar for the TD
Dallas pounds on the ground with Murray but finishes with Randall making a great run through the middle and bouncing it to the outside for the score.
Scandrick called for holding keeps drive alive, 2 players miss a sack opportunity on Cutler during the same play, Carr gets beat deep by Jeffrey
Church blocks the PAT, this virtually never happens, incredible, 35--13 Cowboys early in the 4th.
Murray makes a Big Run down to the 5 yard line, Murray dances around and scampers backward for a huge loss back to the 20. Dallas held to 3 pts
defense becomes lax, Bears score TD, Bears complete 2 pt conversion, Bears make onside kick, Escobar plays the onside kick like a Rookie in need of a remedial special teams class, Bears football.
Cutler runs around the edge and gives the Bears 2 scores in less than 2 minutes. NFL teams realize no lead is safe as long as Dallas is trying to hold onto it!
This time Dez shows Escobar the proper way to snatch an onside kick so your team isn't ridiculed on twitter.
Murray makes a big run, Bailey makes a FG because he's cool like that, its what he does.
Scandrick makes good on his sideline tirade by intercepting Cutler in the endzone, Cowboys give testament to being true road warriors.
Romo was efficient, Murray punished the defense all night, Randall and Beasley both made key contributions, Dez did what he could with limited opportuities.
Witten made 1 key play, Escobar made 1 key play for both teams--way to play neutral Escobar! Terrence Williams, Did he even play in this game? Williams was MIA, AWOL, Milk Carton.
Rolando McClain looks like the steal pick up this year, Scandrick missed a tackle, made a big hit and a key pick to seal the game. Carr was inconsistent as always, Hitchens played well.
Church made some valuable contributions with the blocked PAT #impossible and by inadvertently removing Marshall from the game.
Overall, Dallas still needs work. The passing game looks stagnant at times missing some easy throws, and that shouldn't happen when the running game sets up so many short yardage situations.
Murray should not have to carry so much of the load. 41 touches is too much, Dallas should have found more openings against that Bears secondary and not force the O-Line and Murray to win the game for you.
D-Line still lacks significant pressure in key passing situations. Cowboys are showing some promise, but still not good enough if they want to win in the post season.

<< <i>Seattle is not that good.......Green Bay is the team to beat! >>
Disagree. Seattle is getting healthy and will only get stronger down the stretch. They will win the West.

Do you work for the Bleacher Report?
I watched the game and still enjoyed your recap.
I especially agree with your summary in the last paragraph. My thoughts exactly.

I agree on the state of the passing game but believe Romo's health might be part of the problem. He has had flashes of his former self but he is not throwing the ball well or moving like he used too. I think they have had to lean hard on Murray because Romo can't consistently make the the throws he has completed for most of his career. If he does not look better after these 10 days off the passing game is going to continue to struggle.
