(ESPN TV) Tom Jackson:Cowboys are the most vulnerable of the Big 4

[Boysboy]

Tom Jackson, along with Mike Greenberg and Sean Salibury just finished discussing the Playoff Picture. Tom Jackson was eventually asked which of the Big 4 were the most vulnerable and he said the Dallas Cowboys. Here is the recap:

TJ = Tom Jackson
MG = Mike Greenberg
SS = Sean Salisbury

TJ: every since they beat GB they have looked different

TJ: 1 yard rush yard against the Skins and I wouldn't want to have that over my head for 2 weeks

TJ: They played alot of their starters but they didn't even play

SS: I saw alot of head hanging

MG: They didn't play well

TJ: Wade waited for them to play well but they didn't play well so he had to pull them

MG: They may be without TO. But the question is will he be healthy

Yeah-and Tom Jackson is also the same guy who RAVES about the Eagles and McFlabb every freagin' week. Don't take anything he says at face value.

If we are without TO that is the biggest missing piece of any of the big 4 team's puzzles. I would agree with TJ in that respect. If TO is back and contributing, I disagree and think the Colts minus Freeney and with a rusty Marvin Harrison are most vulnerable.

I disagree. I think the Colts have proven time and again that they can get by without one or two of their stars. In my opinion, at this point, Reggie Wayne is every bit as good as Harrison. They also still have Peyton, plenty of playoff experience, a good running game, a good TE and Anthony Gonzalez is coming along nicely.

Even with T.O., we've got a lot of inexperience in the playoffs, injuries to key players and a suspect running game.

The only thing that would make the Colts vulnerable is that they have to play the Pats before they can make it to the playoffs, but the Colts have looked very sharp going into the playoffs.

I agree that we are the most vulnerable, at least in terms of momentum coming into the playoffs.

This is so strange. Is Jacksonville getting this after getting throtttled by the Texans? Was Pitt getting it when they were down by 20 points to one of the worst teams in the leauge before a couple late scores?

They're talking about the big four, if I'm not mistaking, they are comparing us to the teams that have a shot to win it all, the elite teams not the second teir. We should be happy that is the case. That being said, Jacksonville didn't even play their two RB's, and they are a running team. Pitt didn't play Rothlisberger, and lost their starting RB, etc.

I don't know why people are so steadfast on comparing us to the lesser playoff teams instead of the elite ones. Who cares what the bucs are doing, we're trying to get to the elite status and we should be compared with the elite.
