Thoughts on last night's game, and on the Cowboys
This game. This fucking game hurt to watch. I've made no secret of my complete and utter disdain for the Dallas Cowboys. From the Tony Romo/John Madden/Peter King circle jerk, to TO's retarded antics, there is nothing about this team that's worth a damn. The Cowboys are who we thought they were! Now if you wanna crown em, then go ahead and crown their asses! They haven't played a single fucking quality opponent, and just because they appeared to be the best team in the NFC, people think that puts them up there with the elite teams. No jackass, the NFC is like Pop Warner compared to the AFC. I guarantee Pittsburgh or San Diego could easily beat them. There is no way on Earth your team can be considered a contender when your top receiver(who some would attempt to argue is one of the best in the league) drops that many fucking balls in one game. And then not even any passes, but crucial, cruical ones. Had the Cowboys lost tonight, next to Tony Romo, TO would easily be in second for the largerst share of the blame. For those that didn't watch tonight, this was the gist of it. Buffalo was leading the entire game. The entire, fucking game. They scored on interceptions returns, they scored on a kickoff return. They intercepted Romo 5 times, and forced another fumble. But Dick Jauron kept too tight a leash on Trent Edwards. Except for one pick, he put in a solid effort statistically, going 23/31. But he only threw for 176 yards. That's 7.7 yards per pass completion. If you're not gonna let your QB attempt to make some plays and try to win this game, then it's not gonna happen. The reason the Bills din't put up any offensive touchdowns was because they either ran it with Marshawn Lynch, threw screens, or tossed short passes for small gains. Despite throwing 5 fucking interceptions, Wade Phillips was still letting Romo throw the ball downfield. And in the end, that was what got them into field goal range to kick the game winner. Buffalo had this game. They had it wrapped up, and they gave it away, and it was disgusting. And instead of looking at this as proof that Dallas isn't the juggernaut that everyone thought, the media is only going to mark this as another chapter in the lore of Tony Romo. "This team is so good, they can throw five picks, then come back and win it!". No. Good teams don't throw five picks and then come back, good teams minimize mistakes and take leads. Good teams don't have their star receiver drop a two point conversion, and then a crucial pass trying to get into field goal range. Good teams won't keep the opposition from scoring any offensive touchdowns, but still find themselves losing with seconds to go.
