Plenty of Credit To Go Around

For those of you who haven’t heard, the Cowboys defeated the Philadelphia Eagles Sunday night to take sole possession of first place in the hotly contested NFC East. The game featured plenty of penalties and challenged plays, but what it really showed was the progress this team has made since the beginning of the season. So who gets the credit for the continued improvement of this team? Well, there’s plenty to go around.

Credit QB Tony Romo for his continued solid play (21/34, 307, 1TD, 1 INT) and especially for his patience. The Eagles blitzed like crazy Sunday night and Romo took the patient route, dumping off short passes and wide receiver screens. Romo has matured enough to know that it’s better to gain a few yards that go for it all and have something bad happen under heavy pressure. His pump fake on the Austin touchdown was absolutely beastly. He has become the clear leader of this team.

No playoff victories in a decade. The Pack will be back next Sunday to bury them.

Not with this offensive line:

Cowherd is a hack.

Did they win a game? Really?

I give the fans about 30 days to turn on Tony “Mr. December” Romo.

You can say that but I did some research and noticed that after Thanksgiving in the last twelve seasons, the Cowboys play shockingly poorly--something Cowherd pointed out for several years. Meanwhile, note that the Steelers play REALLY well in general by the time December rolls around.

As a navy guy, I tried really hard to make chief. Year after year, I got rejected. Finally I had made my peace with it and decided that retiring as a first class wasn't that bad. Lo and behold, in 2006 I got selected for advancement.

My point? That past failures do not hold sway over future success.

Cowherd still sucks, btw.
