Choking and Heart

[BIGDen]

From the bottom of my heart, all the pessimists, "realists", naysayers, etc. can choke on this win tonight.

I saw lots of heart and a team that came up big in the end (even though they seem to enjoy giving me more gray hars). My hat is off to you Romo, Ware, Austin and co. - you guys really made a lot of people happy tonight.
Go Cowboys! Now lets finish the job!

That catch by Hurd where he's dragging Saints with him for the first is raw heart. That's nothing more than desire to win.

Why would anybody be choking on this win??

Whether you are a realist, pessimist, happy-go-lucky, optimist, optimus prime or quadriplegic you are happy with this win.

Is it OK to wish that we hadn't made it so close at the end?

Yes but we got the W...

I was hoping for a blowout when we got up so big at the half.

...easy big guy...the Cowboys have burned through a lot of credibility the last two weeks...there's still two tough division games left to play...they won't be gimmes...Dallas will be favored in both of them...if they can keep up the intensity they can close it out...the realists, pessimists and naysayers want to see a team hit it's stride with some consistency...that can STILL happen but we should'nt get too high from this win...enjoy it yes...over some Christmas punch, but come sunday, it's once again into the breach against a division foe ready to play spoiler...

...that said, congratulations to all here on the boards...to the team and to the organization...and no December talk this week!...

Well, I was going to say choke on something else, but that would have gotten me in trouble. I'm sorry but when you read how we have no chance, will get killed, etc. over and over - it gets annoying. When you see those who are hopeful, and actually willing to let the games be played before "mailing it in", get chastised as if they are delusional children - you want to tell those who act as if they "know" the team will lose to choke on their words, the win, or whatever it is they feel like choking on...

I've talked about losing faith (this season).... a big part is that I'm just sick of my teams (Dallas and UTEP) being done in by STUPID mistakes and a lack of execution vs clearly outmatched teams. ....it's been a long long season for me.

But tonight, this lit a flicker of hope in me. When they do execute, when pressure on the QB is consistant. When they limit mistakes (though they had plenty this game) but can over come those they do committ, this team can be unstoppable.

That Hurd reception, the Barber TDs, even Phillips having the heads up to stay inbounds. I mean...smart heartfilled play. I wanna kill this sig-monkey so bad.

Really, whats any different with this team?

One thing I never bought into was all the recent talk about the talent level on this team just not being that good. That we had all been fooled.

This is, and has been for a few seasons, a very talented team and can play with anybody.

When they want to.

I believe they could dominate the league.

If they wanted to.

I'd like nothing better than to see them win 6 more in a row. Maybe Wade, and Dungy inadvertently, finally found a way to light a fuse under them.

Maybe this team is finally growing up and learning how hard it is to win and how focused they have to be.

Or maybe they are just the NFL equivalent of a talented, but spoiled brat that only tries its hardest when its feelings are hurt.

We will find out in the next 2-3 weeks.
