This was the game I was waiting for. Romo gunslinging it to no avail, and a complete Cowboy meltdown.
The Good:
*Comparison of Romo's stats to Tom Brady's after six games. Before you panic about Romo after last night, take a look at Brady's stat line from yesterday.
*That's the JJones we'd been waiting on. What happened to him all year?
*Great open field tackle on Bush by Newman.
*McBriar punting. He's gotta be the ProBowl starter.
*TO busting his butt to block for JJones and later on Glen, then walking away from McKenzie later in the game.
*NO ran their challenge beater to perfection.
*Great concentration by TO to catch that touchdown. How does he do that, and miss the one's that hit him in the hands.
*I like Pink's voice. I've got a thing for girl bands.
*I don't have to hear Al Michaels say "New Or-lee-uns" for a while.
The Bad: All this could go under Ugly
*Missed tackles, dropped passes, false start (4th and 5 yards 3 inches?)
*Did the Zebras look dazed and confused to anyone but me?
*Romo's passes were high all night, he never settled down.
*First time in 47 years an opponent gets 5 TD's against Dallas at home.
The Ugly:
*I don't care how you slice it, RW is a liability in coverage. Just let him stack on 10 more pounds and play linebacker.
*Romo vs Brees, 1st half completions. 3 to 19
*NO racks up 500+ yds of offense agains the number 4 defense in the NFL.
*Dallas gave up drives of 95 and 88 yards in the first half alone.
The Bottom Line:
*Dallas has been playing on borrowed time for the past few weeks. They looked like they did 7 weeks ago. Somebody ran the pretenders out of town, and the real Cowboys showed up. NO came to play and Dallas came to be interviewed. This was Rocky II vs Clubber Lang (first time around). This was Cletus Snow vs Fonzi before the waterboy showed up. This was a behind the woodshed pants-down spanking on national TV. Parcells once again looks disinterested and his team quit on him. No other explanation. They were getting beat, and they quit.
*I don't subscribe to the theory of a "good loss". My only hope is that this pi$$es them off and they work really hard to come out and destroy Atlanta next week.
