Where’s the Post about the Cowboys’ Humiliating Loss?

Do you REALLY need to read ANOTHER article about how humiliating the game was? Exactly. No one needs to be bitchslapped more than a handful of times before it gets really old. The new stadium IS gorgeous, though, even if it’s greatest accomplishment is as the metroplex’s largest paperweight.

Unless something happens behind the scenes, you’ll see the same coaching staff and same players next year. The Cowboys will give it another go. Maybe if Romo stays healthy the entire season, the Cowboys will have a good enough regular season record to afford them another spot in the playoffs despite how they perform in December. Then again, if something on this team doesn’t improve, a visit to round one of the playoffs will prove to be worthless anyway.

Merry Christmas Wade! Don’t Waste It

Wade Phillips and his Dallas Cowboys woke to a week of holiday hope. With Tampa Bay and Philadelphia both losing their games over the weekend, Dallas has a clear opportunity to squeak into the playoffs. The road leads through Philly, and an absolute must-win season finale.

The Eagles have a candle of hope, but theirs is a much more unlikely scenario. Not only does McNabb have to defeat Dallas, but every team ahead of them must lose as well. It’s a much less likely scenario. I’ll be interested to see which team comes out more motivated this coming Sunday.

A Flicker of Playoff Hope Remains

As of this very moment, San Diego leads Tampa Bay 41-24 in the 4th quarter. Should Tampa Bay lose, which appears likely, Dallas has a chance.

No matter what, Dallas has to pummel Philadelphia next week. That is a given. But in addition to the win, at least Tampa or Atlanta has to lose a game, possibly two.

The “experts” aren’t so experty, and we’re still waiting to hear what exact scenario has to go down for Dallas to take the wildcard. Philadelphia and Chicago also look to be possibilities, though Chicago may need every other team to lose twice, which isn’t going to happen.

Stay tuned. We’ll update you with the latest as we hear it.

Cows Lose! Cows Lose!

That which we had feared but didn’t expect is upon us. Our beloved Cowboys are all but guaranteed to miss the playoffs. Good thing owner Jerry Jones specifically requested the Baltimore Ravens as the Cowboys’ final opponent in Texas Stadium. At the time of his request, Baltimore seemed like an easy win. Oops.

Baltimore fed off this knowledge the entire game, wanting to show up the presumptuous Cowboys on their last night in the stadium. And as Matt Mosley mentioned on ESPN.com, Baltimore fans got to see once again how fortunate they were to not get the head coach they originally wanted (Jason Garrett).

Dallas’ Season on the Line Against Giants

With 10:46 remaining in the 1st Quarter, Dallas desperately needs to pick up the pace. The season is on the line here. With Atlanta’s win over Tampa Bay this afternoon, Romo and the Cowboys have to win to stay in the Wildcard hunt. Tampa Bay and Atlanta are currently in the two NFC Wildcard slots based on win-loss record. Dallas could tie both with a win tonight.

Neither offense has shown any sparks of brilliance early in the game. Stay tuned for a Half-time update. You’ll be able to read my take on the 1st Half right here on this post.

With the third quarter winding down, Dallas leads New York 7-3. It has been a battle of the defenses. Eli Manning has been sacked seven times already in the game. Romo has been rushed and hurried and continues his post injury pattern of downfield overthrows.

Just about every receiver on the team has touched the ball, as Romo judiciously spreads the love around. The Cowboys look to win this game if they can keep the momentum and avoid turnovers.

The Pacman Effect

As we all know by now, Pacman Jones is currently serving an indefinite suspension of at least four games without pay.

We all know about his past indiscretions, but how does his latest suspension affect the future of the Cowboys franchise?

Romo or Johnson: Cause and Effect

The news not coming out of Irving the past few days is brilliant.  Speculation on whether or not Romo will start because of a broken pinkie on his throwing hand has served it’s intended purpose: create a news frenzy that the local talking heads are filling the airwaves with and creating lead stories on all the major sports news networks.
