Folks, I hate to say I told you so, but I did. I simply couldn’t see a way that the Cowboys would be NFC Championship Game bound this season. I felt that there were far too many superior teams than the Cowboys and the game against Favre and Company proved it. Make no mistake about it: the Cowboys were the inferior team on the field. It was a complete role reversal from last week’s game. The Eagles had no answer for us and the Cowboys had no answer for the Vikings.
Earlier today, Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk.com posited a scenario in which Jason Garrett could make a power play for Wade’s job. I’ve heard no one else in the traditional media talking about this possibility, but let’s look at it just in case.
So here you are, disappointed and in shock. After hearing the entire country jump on the Cowboys bandwagon last week, you began to believe, not just hope. You may not have said it, but you expected to see your team in the Super Bowl. You planned on savoring three more weeks of glory. And then the unthinkable happened, and you watched an old man rise to the challenge as your team went down in flames.
It’s official: The Dallas Cowboys 13-year playoff victory drought is OVER! Last weekend the Cowboys did what only few other teams have done in the NFL, they defeated an opponent for the third time in one season. Dallas claimed their third win over division foe Philadelphia Saturday night allowing them to advance to the next round of the NFL Playoffs.
Apologies for the delay in this week’s edition, Cowboy fans. Saturday evening started with a celebration of Cowboys postseason success and then from Sunday to now I have been laughing at the expense of Southern Cal, rival to my Alma Mater, as Pete Carroll jumped ship, rumors of NCAA sanctions were around the bend, and then last night it climaxed as they hired Lane Kiffin out of nowhere. To say my research for this week’s edition has been slightly sidetracked with these recent developments is a gross understatement.
Can’t believe the Cowboys let MartyB put this video out on the Web. The locker room used to be this sacred place we all wanted to see before and after the game. But Martellus is bringin’ it to the peeps.
He may not be an offensive factor, but you can count on MartyB (Martellus Bennett) to deliver some killer behind-the-scenes footage. See how the Cowboys feel after an important win against Philly.
Listen to Keith Brooking talk this week about his transition to Dallas and the growth of this Cowboys’ defense. He also shares his thoughts on Adrian Peterson, Brett Favre, and this tough Minnesota Vikings challenge.

Who do YOU give kudos to after this win?
From the Book of Dallas, the Story of Jones:
The reign of Jones in the Kingdom of Dallas has been filled with tales of many triumphs and tragedies, setbacks and successes. Those days have filled with periods of bounty and dominance, as well as sorrow and suffering. What follows is but a brief glimpse of those early days:
