...like it or not, a Cowboys playoff victory really doesn't amount to a hill of beans. The sun will rise, the birds will sing and there will be another season next fall. Cubs fans know this feeling well, as do Bears fans. There will be alot of Monday morning quarterbacks that will question work ethics. Perhaps Tony's time would have been better spent watching game film than in cavorting with a well known blonde celebrity. But then again, if they had won, nobody would bring this up. What it comes down to is that off weeks are treacherous, a fact that people would do well to remember. There is a great deal to be said for keeping a consistent focus and that's hard to do on a bye week. What will come out of this is that we are going to see what kind of character the members and owners of this team have. There have been rumors that Wade would be fired if this game was lost and that would be wrong because he has managed to corral T.O. and bring a very raw quarterback to game level far more rapidly than expected. But this is more about egos than anything else. If Jerry goes in an cleans house, then he has no concept of what coaching is about. If he trades Romo, he will probably live to see him win a Super Bowl for an opposing team. If you want to toss blame, you may want to look at how the offensive line prepped for the week. They were clueless for much of the second half. And one of the key rules of offensive linemen is "protect the quarterback". The pocket was shifting like sand and like it or not, even a quick release QB like Romo needs some time to find the open man. I didn't grow up watching Texas and SWC football not to know a thing or two. So all you men who think you know it all, you'd better think about what happened and consider what may happen and then decide if you know what this Cowboys team is made of.
