My thoughts on the game (not all bad)

- The kicking game.. what can you say? It's directly costed us 2 games this year. How can Cundiff make a 56 yarder one week and miss a 34 yarder the next? It's sour grapes but this team should be 9-1 right now if they had a decent kicker.

- Parcells coaching style is about 10 years outdated, it just isn't working. We played a perfect "Parcells style" game (dominated TOP) and still lost. The play calling was horrible..that 3rd and 1 screen pass to Glenn on the 2 minute drive in the 4th was stupid. I don't know who called that but why not just run it with Barber.. and if you absolutely have to call that play then throw it to Keyshawn, who took 2 screen's for big gains already in the game.

- Terrance Newman and Roy Williams are finally living up to the hype, they both made game changing plays.

- Rob Pettiti and Marco Rivera are TERRIBLE football players.. seriously. I hate them, and I usually don't *hate* players, as much as I may dislike them.. but I really hate Pettiti and Rivera, they are utterly useless. The line was no worse off with Andre Gurode at guard.. and BTW, Matt Lehr is a pro bowl candidate for Atlanta right now. Maybe we just need some good coaching.

- Zimmer's blitzing scheme (if you can even call it that) is crap now. We have maybe 2 or 3 different blitzes and that's it.. watching the way Denver confused our offense today with their blitzing schemes made me dream of the day when we get to have a true D-Coordinator. The book on picking up Zimmer's blitzes is out and every coach has it.

- When you play these conservative games that Parcells likes to coach your chances to win are 50/50..it just pisses me off so much that he has no killer instinct. He's perfectly content with dicking around all game and hoping a few breaks go our way. His coaching style puts us in a position where a coin flip could decide it, and that happened today... literally.

- Witten is the best TE in the NFC, I don't care what the stats say. He was open all day and we should have gone to him more.

I think the team played well enough to win today and overall I am ok with their performance..........outside Billy's botched field goal.

However, what gets me disgusted each week is the playcalling..........what the hell was that with 1 min left????? Again, when you play not to lose...you usually do. Parcells needs to be more aggressive...just my opinion.

I am a Cowboy fan to the end and for 25 years..BUT, I knew that going into overtime we would most likely lose.

Go Cowboys..............Lets get ready for the Giants.

bottom line, you have to be able to run the dam ball. third and one and we try stupid passes and then miss field goals and kick punts. we'll never win without effectively running the ball.
