Triumph Over Turmoil

The Dallas Cowboys will make it to the 2009 playoffs.

Book it.

Then they are on their own...I can only do so much.

The insanity that has come from the media surrounding this team is almost too much to bear. If the team wasn't under a microscope constantly, half the stuff that comes out of Dallas would actually stay in Dallas.

After all the talk about T.O. and the receivers having a fit about the Romo/Witten connection, the Boys come out and beat up on the Giants 20-8...looking real good in the process, defensively at least.

During this time you could see Romo, Witten, and yes T.O. chatting it up, smiling on the sidelines like nothing has gone wrong. Romo said afterwards that T.O. made it all up to take some tension off...whether that's true or not is to be seen...but I wouldn't put it past Owens.

The defense stepped up big and pummeled Peyton's younger brother for 8 sacks and holding them to less than 250 yards of total offense. That is the kind of effort that will put a team into the playoffs and one, hopefully, that will extend their stay.

Neither Witten nor T.O. caught many passes, 5 and 3 respectively, but one of the other "disgruntled" WR's did, Patrick Crayton, for a TD...no harm there. Romo wasn't himself early, but mainly because the underachieving O-line wasn't doing their job, again. On one play it looked as if half of them didn't know the play even started...which includes the man they just signed to a new deal, Marc Colombo, which costs the Cowboys a safety...but to no avail for the Giants.

So whats the media going to do now? The Cowboys have won 4 of their past 5 games...even throughout the entire PacMan and upset T.O. problems. You think they can leave them alone now? Probably not...probably not until they pull it together completely and win a game, or 2, or 3, in the playoffs. T.O. isn't getting any younger, he wants to win now, he needs to win now. This is a perfect chance for Dallas to slip by some struggling NFC teams like the Giants, Cardinals, and Eagles and blow into the Super Bowl by playing their best football late.

Oh and props to Demarcus Ware, who is having a Pro Bowl caliber season. He is only 3.5 (or 2.5 depending on how you view it) sacks away from tying Michael Strahan's single season sack record. As mentioned, it may only be 2.5 sacks away if good ole Brett FaVRE didn't fall down to allow Strahan to touch him down for his record breaking sack. Another reason why I dislike number 4. I'll get to him at a later date...he nearly threw the Jets out of the playoffs this past Sunday...god damn JP Losman...god damn Bills offensive coordinator...should be drug out into the street and shot...all you need is 5 yards, first down, 3 kneel downs, game over...nah lets roll out...we've only been killing them on the ground....Marshawn Lynch hitting 4 yards the entire drive...yea, lets roll out....

But like I said, that's for another day.

So my Browns won't make the playoffs and I will be 5 dollars cheaper because of it...but the Cowboys can end my sorrow with a playoff berth, a playoff win, and maybe even a Super Bowl...if T.O. can "stay happy."


Out and "Disgruntled"...I think I'll have a "meeting" with the Blog Coordinator to understand why Facebook Notes gets more attention than I do
