It's amazing what one season can do in terms of optimism

As long as Jerry runs this team his way, what you have been seeing for the last 12 years is what you will be seeing for the foreseeable future. It is what it is.

On a positive note, WOW! I have really enjoyed watching the playoffs so far, all the teams are playing with great enthusiasm as if they really care whether they win or lose; it's incredibly refreshing. I wish the Cowboys could do something like that.

Parity is what makes the NFL great. Any team can win at any time. You guys are in better shape (on paper) then most teams out there.

When Dallas was 13-3 with similar personnel people were talking about how talented they were. Now that you had a mediocre season, the talent level has dropped? I don't think so. Performance changes, but talent doesn't.

I still think you have one of the most talented rosters in the entire NFL. You guys just have to somehow piece it together.

Over-rated team in terms of talent? The Giants.

I hope one of the changes JJ is talking about is at least letting the team focus on football rather than TV promos.

I really DO think that this off-season is going to be much more intense in terms of the way practices are run, the hitting and tackling, and the work on technique.

Also, I don't see JJ going after questionable characters in 2009. I think he'll look more for "team oriented" guys - for the 2009 season, at least. Probably more 2nd tier talent guys who fit in the team concept better.

Now, in 2010 all bets are off.

Yes, he is a short term memory man.
