NFL Week 15: Mike Phipps' late delivery

I might call you a dreamer, Tommy.

 

I wouldn't be so thrilled with how he handled the weather. He put the ball on the ground four times.

Interesting.

 

Yes because Romo obviously plays defense too.

I'm not saying he hasn't been crap in past Decembers. The Cowboys in general have been terrible in past Decembers. However, saying they have no shot against a Washington team that isn't all that great either is a big stretch.

Whether you like it or not.

 

I'm sure they have a chance against Washington. It's a crapshoot.

I'm not blaming it all on Romo either. I'm saying during this era, that is how the Cowboys lose -- somebody fucks something up. Oftentimes, but not always, it's Romo. More frequently of late it has been Jason Garrett, and when he sent his kicker out there for the 61-yard field goal attempt I think we could all see it was going to be no good, the Steelers would throw two quick passes and then kick the winning field goal. Unfortunately the timeout gave him time to think.

But the Cowboys' pattern has been this way for many years. Honestly don't see it changing.

 

I will say this. And this comes from watching so many friggin collapses over the past years, this team has something those teams didn't. It's got heart. All it needs is a brain.

 

I don't even know how significant it is anymore. The last three teams to win the Super Bowl didn't have a bye. I think it actually becomes a disadvantage when you look at some of those teams that clinch home field early and then rest starters during the last week or two of the season and between that and the bye, come out flat in the playoffs.

Having half the teams make the playoffs doesn't thrill me. But if it makes more than a couple games in the last week of the season matter, I think that will be huge.

 

The last two years, five of eight teams that had the bye won that game.

If everybody knows they're going to be playing Week 1 anyway, I don't think you see nearly the effort at the end of the year that you do now. Every team that knows it's in with a top-four seed and a first-round home game would be resting guys. No real advantage to getting into the top two.

As I said, though, I'm pretty sure this is going to happen because right now just about every market in the NFL would still have a team in the "playoff hunt." The Jets would almost be guaranteed to be going, and a lot of the 5-8 teams would have a good chance.

 

Someone has probably already said this somewhere, but wouldn't it be hilarious if the Jets made the playoffs and the Giants didn't?

 

Once the likes of JJ and Parcells left, the brains left. And they haven't returned.

 

. . . and how could the Cowboys have that moronic manslaughter jerkoff wandering the sidelines, yesterday. Unbelievable.

 

because jerry jones is a spineless enabler moe interested in being a friend to his players than a molder of men. a classic enabler, this jerrah character.
