Yep. Because I remember thinking he got fired that day and was just playing out the 15 game string. What a horrible loss that was. Guh.
When asked whether Jason Garrett is the right head coach for this team: "I don't think there is anyone else that could. I think he is an unbelievable coach. We've responded to him and he has made us better football players, better people. If you watch us I think we play with a certain relentless spirit." --Sean Lee

Tim Cowlishaw: Great question, Cliff. I think Texans will be toughest. That team beat Dallas, 19-10, when it had never played a game. Houston is going to break through and be a wild-card team at some point. I don't know what the Texans plan to do for a running game, and that's a big problem since (Steve) Slaton appears to be too much of a fumbler. But I like Dallas' chances to win the other two, not easily, but the Cowboys should win if they play. The Texans game will be a toss-up.

The Texans may very well beat the Cowboys this season, but if they do...it will have absolutely nothing to do with them winning their inaugural game against us.

Cowlishaw's logic (or lack thereof) is proof that anyone can be a sports writer.

Anyone.

this Buehler experiment does seem like an unnecessary risk to me,,, then again they may be ready to go with plan B if he doesn't remove any doubts they have...

I just don't agree with Cowlishaw very often. This is another one of those times.

This is a team who is battling several major injuries to
key players including Pro Bowl talents like Lee, Austin, Jenkins, Murray,
Carter and Ratliff. Other key starters missing include Costa, Smith, Church and
Coleman. That is 11 key players - that's half the starting lineup. Yet we still went 8-8.

Maybe the writer had to go to the bathroom or something. The story sure does stink.
Did you know there are only 5000 Snow Leopards in the wild now and they are confined to Central Asia? However, the effective global population (those likely to reproduce) is less than half that number.

That 2002 game really was a hornet's nest for dallas, a bad dallas team going against raw emotion, in the end the Houston thwarted Dallas' effort to be 6-10 and made them finish 5-11, a game better than the 4-12 Texans, quite an achievement (sarcasm).
