I know Roy is an issue, but I didn’t realize Barber was a problem. I thought he was a machine for the Cowboys. I’m wrong.
Hands down, they beat my Saints. I took a lot of crap for that. Now I get to give it back to some friends.
Yes, the NFL is full of surprises.
Some of the Benson family has been talking about moving the Team to San Antonio. Just never know.
After Katrina, I thought a Saints move to San Antonio was likely, and unlike the Utah Jazz, the San Antonio Saints would have fit the team emblem with the city fairly well. Now, I would be surprised to see it happen. The city rallied around the Saints and the Saints rallied the city.
On Jones firing Wade or trading Romo, I don't expect it. Jones has become more cautious about blowing up the team every three years. After Johnson left and Jones signed Deion and hired Switzer, he thought he could buy a Super Bowl as Steinbrenner consistently bought pennants with the Yankees. The salary cap and revenue sharing in football make that almost impossible now, and after running through three coaches in ten years Jones has become more patient and cautious. On the fan boards for the Cowboys, there are always calls to fire Philips and trade Romo. Last summer, quite a few were calling to trade Romo for Cutler straight up.
To his critics, by definition it isn't a big game unless Romo loses it, but the Saints game and both Eagles games were big games and Romo played well. Romo isn't, and I doubt will ever be a Brady or Montana, but he's a solid QB. Favre, Brady, McNabb, Peyton Manning, Kurt Warner and every other quarterback of note has had a terrible playoff game when their O-line breaks down. It was a team loss, and a lot of players and coaches could have done better.
On Jamarcus Russell, I think he's slowed by a big wallet and lack of motivation. Like Vick when he was with the Falcons, he thinks that his athleticism means he doesn't have to do the homework.
