OT: Cowboys vs. Packers Open Thread
Biggest game of the year. Already told El Jefe not to expect me in too early tomorrow.
If interested, I stumbled across another "what an all-american good kid Tony Romo is" article, a good one.
http://www.nfl.com/news/story?id=09000d5d804971a0&template=with-video&confirm=true
Among other things, it says, contrary to the media's incessant claims, that John "My electric toothbrush has to be kickstarted" Elway, not Brett Favre, was his favorite QB growing up.
I have no idea how this game is gonna pan out. There's a kind of lame poll to your right.
Boldass predictions welcome on this thread...

I think that
I think it will be close in the 1st half, with the cowboys pulling away and a late turnover to seal it. Then Marion just bitchslaps kids for 16 to 22 times and closes it out.
Cowboys 31 Packers 17

Oh, sweet
I watch very little NFL, but I'd be sad if I couldn't watch this game.
I watched Sportcenter at the gym today (there's no option to change the channel on the communal TV), and it was pretty much just an entire hour of hype for this game.
OT: I f'ing hate Sportcenter.

Just to let everyone know...
they're running clips of interviews and showing some guys at a desk, and then going to replays and live action for like 3 minutes at a time.
that's one way to watch if you have no resort.

How am I eating crow?
I've never said the guy sucks..just that A) Any single player is pretty irrelevant (proven time and again) and B) Ellis has been used for parts of two seasons as some sort of catch all excuse whenever the defense sucked, because he was gone, which I think is stupid.
Ellis is the Terry Glenn of the defense. We've been without Terry Glenn all season and by all rights that should be a huge, team crippling injury, if you looked at it before the season. But it just doesn't really matter, and we are 11-1. Except, offensive flaws are not typically blamed on lack of Terry Glenn.
I mean, honestly, I wouldn't really care if Ellis was out for the season tomorrow. It just doesn't really matter. I dont care if he gets some sacks, that's great.
If you're blaming a certain football player for much of anything, you're just misguided, that's the bottom line. Remember that year Flozell Adams was out? Then he came back and we played good..then went back to sucking with him. It all went full circle.
It doesn't mean I'm not happy to see these guys get back..even I allow myself to buy into the talent myth a little bit now and again.

It's like in his abscence Greg Ellis became the greatest defensive player of all time or something. It was stupid.

If you're blaming losing a certain football player for much of anything, you're just misguided, that's the bottom line.
I'm not sure why you keep saying "sharky owned" about Ellis..clearly you dont understand what I was joking about.

I dont really have much thoughts on the game. I wasn't happy with our defense. And I dont think Marion Barber is very good. And we caught the benefit of a lot of big penalties tonight. Since I always bitch when we get screwed, I figure I gotta be fair. And the early play where Harris stripped the ball from TO probably shoulda been GB ball as well from what I saw.
