The Vault
1. These guys continue to amaze me. I mean going into what seemed to me the most hostile crowd because the Philly crowd sure did not seem hostile and just taking apart the defense was amazing.
2. I still am going to gripe about the stupid bonehead penalties. If this team is serously going to go deep into the playoffs, these penalties are going to have to stop. Taunting, hitting and shoving players? The one that bothered me was the taunting because we had just robbed the Giants of any momentum going into the half aftger Craytons score and instead of burying them and forcing them to run the clock, we gave up a field goal which is enough to spark momentum. Thank God the Giants have a QB that still cannot figure out how to get the play off by the time the play clock expires.
3. Wow, Terrell Owens really seems to be maturing and I am now wondering if that prediction of a blowup is going to ring true now.
4. I will count Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, and Brett Favre as teams that have a better QB than the Cowboys right now. Tony Romo is the real deal.
5. Remember when I said that the great QBS have bad games? Well Tony Romo's 5 interception game sure looks a lot better than the 6 interception game of Peyton Manning. I sure don't see anyone questioning Mannings ability the way they qquestioned Romo's.
6. The real test is coming though because the Cowboys have not had a winning record in the second half particularly in December. If another collapse happens, no more blaming the story about how Parcells wore out these players and that he was too tough. No more excuses guys, you have a coach that is easy going laid back and is not pounding you as much as the Tuna would have and Julius Jones better not say he is running like a robot, or TO complaining about how Parcells is to set in his ways or anything else.
7. This brings an interesting point, if the Cowboys run the table and win the Super Bowl, who gets the credit? Mr Fix it or the Tuna? I they both deserve credit. PArcells did not leave the cupboard bare and Phillips has not exactly screwed it up because he does know how to coach. I mean look at the Chargers situation. I mean Norv Turner almost became our head coach and have you ever seen a team look so deflated after the ugly weird win the Chargers had over the Colts? I just don't believe the Cowboys would be 8-1 with Norv Turner at this point.
8. And of course Jerry Jones does deserve credit it for bring in Phillips and for bringing in Jason Garrett. Problem is that Garrett will probably be gone and be a head coach after this year and I am just hoping GMs will look at his inexperience and not hire him because of that and we keep him here a few more years.
