Still coming down from that incredible high - what a performance. They finally (well mostly) manned up in a hostile environment and refused to lose. Still two tough games to go, but if that doesn't give them confidence to win the next two and go into the playoffs with all the momentum in the world, I don't know what does.
Random thoughts:
1. I know he's been terrific the past couple of games, but tonight I saw Tony Romo finally enter the world of the elite quarterback. He was simply magnificent in all phases - threw the deep out well, made great decisions, kept the pressure on the Saints all night. He was better than Brees tonight, no question, and if he continues to play like that, the team is going to be very tough to stop the rest of the way.
2. DeMarcus Ware was simply amazing. To come back less than a week after what initially looked like a season-ending injury and play the way he did - you can't come up with enough superlatives. For mine, he's every bit as valuable to this team as what Troy Polamalu is to the Steelers.
3. The running game. Thought both Felix and the Barbarian had more burst tonight than I've seen in a while - whether that was just the O Line beating up on a smaller opponent or the RBs finally getting healthy who knows, but it was a really positive sign for me.
4. Mike Jenkins. Okay, he got lucky on the Henderson drop, but otherwise he was sensational. Is it a stretch to say that right now he's one of the top 5 cornerbacks in the league? I mean, would you swap Revis or Asomaghu (sp) for him?
5. Cut Folk. Enough said.
