Ok... so its monday morning and I am walking around the office singing..... "I've been waiting all day for Sunday night..." da-da-da-da.... yeah, yeah yeah yeah.... LOL

Great win.
Great to see offense show us what we can do.
Great to Garrett calling plays(lay off the cutsie plays and remember to start running the clock down sometimes ;))
Romo turned another page.
TO playing like a 20 something
Crayton has some sweet hands.
Hurd can be "a player"
Witten is like a Novacek


What a difference a win makes... no matter how it comes... a win is a win is a win.... just think... look what happened to the Eagles.

They feel not so good I think. -Yoda

I think he might be better.

His blocking is no where near as good as Novacek but Witten is a better receiver. IMHO.
Witten is a better player overall and I don't recall Novacek ever being a good blocker. He simply got in the way of a few guys while Big E and the rest paved the road.

Novacek was excellent at get-in-the-way blocks. That's about it.

Even if that's all he did he was still better at blocking than Witten. I agree Witten is better overall.

I don't know. Witten put a few good blocks on Strahan last night while helping Columbo.

I will agree Witten is better than Novacek when he has a couple rings. Don't forget, Novacek has three.

How does that have any bearing whatsoever on the argument?

Another factor to consider is that Novacek was "getting in the way" while playing with, possibly, the best O-line in the history of the game. Witten doesn't have that luxury. Witten is hands down the better player. Novacek played on the better team.

BTW, I am a HUGE Novacek (former Wyoming Cowboy) fan. :)

I don't think it's even that close.

Novacek was no slouch.You take him off those teams and there are a lot of third downs that wouldn't have been converted.He was Aikman's security blanket.I think they are pretty close in terms of skill and value to the team.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

We have a winner.

He may not be considered one of the triplets... but he directly contributed to their cause.

His play won some games for us. Big games.

I think it has a lot to do with the argument. Novacek was a huge part of the 90's Cowboys. He did it day in and day out. Witten is good, but let's see him do it on the big stage.
