cowboys

anybody else pumped? this team is pretty damn good. i could easily see them making a superbowl run in the nfc. i think it is fair to say that this team would be 7-3 or 8-2 if they had been getting this level of play out of the qb all season. you look at the four losses 3 were pretty much 100% due to drew bledsoe being a complete dufus. he just sucked against jacksonville, throws an INT whent hey are driving to score against philly, and who knows what direction that giants game goes if he doesn't throw the infamous INT that gets him benched. then you have the wasington game which involved one of the biggest fluke plays in nfl history. i guess i'm a homer, but i'm a realist too. i'm not one of those, 'yay!! dallas is always the best!' people. i really think this might be the best team in the nfc and a top 5 team in the nfl.

We'd be winning anyway
If Bledsoe was the QB.

The coaching staff stopped being dumbasses as soon as Romo came in for one. There was a big change in Parcells demeanor.

That said, I think Romo is playing great. I have yet to actually see one of his games yet, but from what I've seen on highlights he looks to have excellent talent, and it's hard to see anywhere he's worse than Bledsoe, but with the positive of more mobility.

But again, the coaching staff is actually trying to win now, so that's a big change.

They knew they couldn't win
with that statue of a loser, Drew Bledsoe.  I mean really, the guy has been a bad QB most of his career.

No,
he had one of his better years and rose up to being mediocre.

Try to find the post
where I said Romo sucked.

You of course said the Cowboys would regret moving away from the mediocre at best Bledsoe.

Really ...
You need to actually watch a game before making comments like this.  It's obvious that this offense has more life with Romo at the helm.  He's not making dumb decisions like Bledsoe did ... he's passing the ball around to all his receivers which Bledsoe didn't (Witten had disappeared from the offense with Bledsoe at QB).

Well...
that would be because Whitten always had to be protecting the passer instead of out running routes.

Bledsoe still sucks
Would it make you feel better if you found out Romo was a Bush supporter?

I'd still caution though
That Tony Sparano still calls plays here, and I dont think he instills fear in a lot of opponents heart (although he is decent). It will probably bite us in the ass sooner or later, but I hope not.

This guy though, is right now co-ordinating at another level. Best in the league, period:

They smell like a Super Bowl to me, although I sure hope Indy wins one for Peyton instead.

It's pretty funny though, how Marty Schottenhemier is supposedly a button down, conservative coach, that runs and wins defensive struggles, and his team is lighting it up, and nobody notices and thinks to mention that the head coach really doesn't mean a whole lot in this league unless he calls plays..same as Dungy is supposed to be a defensive guy and look at Indy..crap defense all the time..

I don't deny
that their play calling has been great, but life is much easier when you have a guy like LT.
why don't teams not called the Red Sox or Yankees just close-up, burn down the stadium, and then as a group jump off a cliff

LT
... continues to make coaches look great.  If I were an aggy I would hate LT with all my heart for putting the Fran in Frantastic.

I love LT
For one he reminds me a lot of Emmitt. Those little guys are so much more fun to root for and watch than another 220 pound bruiser.

I also remember, he wrote a DMN diary for a while going into the draft, or maybe it was his final season? I read it every week. Thought it was pretty cool.

Kinda bad
'cause we need him to do well; not suck it up...

I hate being right about this one...
