This past weekend, ESPN was running a series of shows titled “ESPN’s Greatest Games” and since the wife was out to a movie with her friends I took full advantage and tuned in to one of these. The program featured a particular game of interest from the past along with commentary from coaches and players as the game progressed. The particular game being reviewed in this episode was the 1996 playoff game between the Denver Broncos and Jacksonville Jaguars. Jacksonville, in only it’s 2nd year of existence at the time, barely made the playoffs and was playing the heavily favored Denver Broncos, in Denver. Jacksonville, behind a young and gritty Mark Brunell, pulled off the upset against a stunned Broncos team which pretty much thought they would be playing in the Super Bowl.
When interviewed about this game, most of the Broncos players said that they didn’t like to think about the game because of the memories it brought back. The Broncos (like the Cowboys this year) had a successful season and were one of the top teams in the league, not just the AFC. Most people had at least penciled Denver in the AFC Championship if not the Super Bowl altogether. However, it was not meant to be that year.
Interviews from some of the Denver players indicated that when they returned for training camp the following August, the attitude of the team was that anything less than a Super Bowl win would be unacceptable. That season, Denver made the playoffs as a wild card but would eventually go on to face the defending Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers in the Super Bowl. Denver was a pretty heavy underdog but the team had the resolve, it didn’t have the year before when playing Jacksonville, to gut out an improbable win against the Packers. Many of the Denver players said, as painful as it was to lose to Jacksonville, that loss helped galvanize the team and propel them to a world championship a year later.
Many people had Dallas penciled in the Super Bowl this year…or at least playing in the NFC championship game. However, collectively, they blew it. My hope is that the same attitude that brought the Broncos together back in 1997 will permeate the Cowboys locker room next Fall. Outside of Dallas’ WR corps, the team is really pretty young. Hopefully in another ten years we will be watching Dallas talk about winning their 6th Lombardi Trophy and how loosing to the Giants in 2008 helped make that possible.

What Just Happened?
I don't know where to start, I really don't. I truly feel ill. I don't know which is a bigger let down...the Mavs choking it away, as a #1 seed, to Golden State last spring or Dallas losing tonight, as a #1 seed, to the Giants. I will say this...Tony Romo going off to Mexico had not a damn thing to do with the reason Dallas' season is now over and ANYONE who says so is a freaking moron, period. I know I might hear that this week (and it will make me crazy every time I hear it) but I will try to block that out. Romo's play was NOT what got Dallas beat. The thing that got Dallas beat was the biggest strength of the team coming into the game today...the offensive line. I have absolutely no idea what happened to the offensive line and every one of them is going to have 6 months to think about how they let the game get away. The reason Dallas lost starts there...and ends there in my opinion.
In the second quarter, the Cowboys, had a 10 minute drive where they completed 3rd down conversion after 3rd down conversion. Romo was looking sharp, Barber was running with fury and the offensive line was doing a what they normally do...beating up the defensive line of the opposition. Very little, if any, pressure was getting to Romo. In 3 consecutive series, Dallas scored a TD, a TD and a field goal.
But in the second half the offensive line, for whatever reason, stopped playing with the fire they had all season. They started letting guys through to get to Romo. And the Giants were getting to Romo without blitzing linebackers or defensive backs...they were getting to Romo with their defensive line. Romo was running for his life and just didn't have the time he had in the first half. The huge holes that were there for Barber in the first half were no longer there in the second half. How many penalties were made that shouldn't have been. And how many more freaking false starts must we endure from Flozell Adams?!?!?!?!? Holy crap...pull your freaking head out!!! But he wasn't the only one with mental breakdowns.
Leonard Davis (which was a HUGE signing in the off season, both literally and figuratively) has played very well all year and is going to Pro Bowl because of it. But the penalty he had in the 3rd quarter when he hit Strahan late, which nullified a Cowboys 1st down, was where the game turned. From there, Dallas had to punt from deep in the own territory and the Giants got a 25 yd return from R.W. McQuarters. The Giants ended up getting the go ahead TD on that drive.
Objectively, Dallas did not play their best football in December. Through their first 12 games, Dallas averaged scoring 33 pts and allowing 20 points. The final four games, Dallas averaged scoring 15 pts and allowing 19 points...and that was the game we say tonight. The Giants, on the flip side, were probably playing some of their best football during the past 3 games and they played well enough to beat Dallas.
But Dallas has no one to blame but themselves for losing. New York's defense was far from healthy. The Giants already had two starters out (Madison and Dockery) and ended up losing Aaron Ross in the 3rd quarter. So New York was playing with a defensive secondary basically held together with duct tape and chicken wire. And Dallas' high powered offense (with Terrell Owens, Jason Witten, Marion Barber, and Terry Glenn) couldn't take advantage of it. Just sickening...absolutely sickening. Give all the credit in the world to the Giants because it appeared they wanted it more than Dallas. That's probably not true...but that's what it looked like at the end of the game. New York played harder in the second half and took the game away from Dallas, not that Dallas did anything to really prevent it.
Dallas IS the better team...no doubt in my mind about it. They just are. But they didn't play like it tonight. They played a home game against a team, in the New York Giants, which was not as healthy, after a full 2 weeks of rest and only managed 17 points. That is just...unfathomable. Dallas now becomes the 1st #1 seeded team, since 1990, to lose in the divisional round of the playoffs. Oh, and Dallas STILL hasn't won a playoff game since 1997. Un-freaking-believable.
This is such a bitter pill to swallow, a bitter, bitter pill. I honestly thought Dallas would be in the Super Bowl...I really did. And now we have until next September to see if the team can bounce back and take that next step. I think Romo is going to need to go a little farther than Cabo to get over this one.

A Few More Facts About This Weekend’s Giants – Cowboys Game
Here are a few facts about this weekend’s game and why it is so hard to pick:
Stats that could favor Dallas:
- Since 1990, in the divisional round of the playoffs, the rested home teams that lost their final game of the season (like Dallas this year) are 24-5 (83%).
-In that time same, rested home teams favored by 7 points or more (like Dallas is) are 15-1 (94%).
-The key to Dallas winning is stopping, or slowing, Giants WR Plaxico Burress. Of the 23 TD passes thrown by Manning this year, 12 were to Burress. No other Giants player had more than 3. Stop, or limit, Burress’ production and you stop or limit the Giants offense.
Stats that could favor New Yawk:
-Since the NFL merger, there have been 17 times where a team met it’s opponent in the playoffs for the 3rd time that season (like Dallas and NY this year). The team that has won the previous 2 meetings is 11-6 (65%). Even though this stat slightly favors Dallas, it also shows that upsets happen more than just a couple of times in this situation.
-1993 is the last time both #1 seeds for the NFC and AFC (Dallas for the NFC; Buffalo for the AFC) have gone to the Super Bowl. This year, the #1 seeds are Dallas and New England and we all know what kind of season New England has had. So, if I were a betting man and had to pick one of those two teams to lose before the Super Bowl, I don’t think I could objectively pick New England.
-If T.O. Owens is out of the game, or severely limited, Dallas is in trouble…period Since he got hurt before half time of the Carolina game, Dallas (without Owens in the line up) has scored 4 field goals in 6 quarters. Not good…

A Look Back on College Football - The SEC…Still the Best on the Block
I’m always a little down after the college football championship game is over because that means no more college football until September. This was the case on Monday night after I witnessed LSU win it’s 3rd national championship by defeating Ohio State who had just lost it’s 2nd straight national championship game. Oh yeah, both teams Ohio State lost to, Florida and LSU, were from the SEC.
The SEC has proved yet again it is hands down, top to bottom the best conference in the country when it comes to college football. Consider the following points when comparing the SEC to the other 5 BCS conferences for 2007:
-The SEC sent the most teams to bowl games (9)
-The SEC had the highest winning percentage in bowl games (78%)
-The SEC sent 2 teams to BCS bowls (winning both)
-The SEC won back-to-back national championships (Florida last year, LSU this year)
-Since the inception of the BCS, the SEC has won the most national championships (4)
This season, we learned that not only is the SEC the best football conference but we also learned that the season would be better if we had some sort of playoff system in place. I know when I say “we” I may not be talking about everyone because clearly not everyone shares my opinion about this topic. However, there are many that do.
Think about how crazy this country goes for 2 weeks in March when the college basketball playoffs commence. I know comparing the current basketball playoff system with 64 teams to a possible football playoff system with 6-8 teams isn’t exactly apples to apples but you get the point I am trying to make. For instance, I would love to see if USC could take down LSU. Or who would win if Georgia and West Virginia squared off. Or if Kansas could win it all.
I know there is little chance the NCAA will ever move to any playoff format for college football because the sponsor money from the bowls (especially the BCS bowls) is just too lucrative. But to me, that is a lame excuse. If Div. I-AA, Div. II and Div. III college football can have a playoff system, Div. I should be able to follow suit. There has got to be a way that the bowls can even be working into a playoff format. I’m sure with all the mighty brain power the NCAA has at their disposal that they can make it work. They problem is they don’t want to make it work.
The BCS system is better than the way the national champion was crowned before 1998. Before 1998, voters decided the best team in the country instead of letting things be decided on the field. However, a playoff system is ultimately the best way to crown the best team in the country. Hopefully, the NCAA will get it’s act together sometime in the future and make a playoff system work. Until then, there will be teams left out of the national championship which could actually be the best team in the country.

G-Men vs. Los Vaqueros...The 3rd, and Final, Round
The one team I didn’t want Dallas to face in the playoffs makes their way to Texas Stadium this Sunday. The New Yawk Giants are a team that is playing well, has revenge on their mind and is capable of pulling off the upset. They are also very comparable to Dallas in just about every way. Amazingly, this is the first time the division rivals have faced each other in the post season. My gut tells me though that Dallas wins a close game (3-7 pt difference) because I really think Dallas is the better team overall. But then again, the Mavs were the better team last year too (vs. Golden State) and that was a series and not one game...and everyone knows how that series ended up. So, I'm a little nervous about this game for the following reasons:
-T.O. Owens may not play but if he does, he won't be 100%. He is THE difference maker and the Dallas offense will not be the same without him. The level at which he plays could determine how the offense plays. This is not like the injury he came back from in ’04 to play in the Super Bowl when he was with the Eagles. He had 7 weeks to come back from that and that was the final game of the year. If he does play and aggravates his ankle injury, Dallas could be in trouble.
-Eli is a solid QB (NOT unstoppable as in the Citizen watch commercial), contrary to popular opinion, and with both Amani Toomer and Plaxico Burress both healthy and playing well right now, that could really test Dallas' secondary…which we all know is Dallas’ weakness on defense. Burress is a legitimate top tier WR and is scary good when he is healthy…which he is.
-Even though Shockey is out, the Giants haven't really missed him. They gave New England all they could handle and beat Tampa Bay in Tampa.
-The ONLY road loss for the Giants this year was the opener in Dallas...they are not afraid of playing on the road (however, Dallas was also 7-1 on the road this year with the lone loss coming against the Deadskins).
-The defensive front four for the Giants (Strahan, Umenyiora, etc.) are playing very well right now. They are healthy and could make things interesting for Romo.
-Even though Dallas is the top seed, they haven't won a playoff game since 1996, which I attended, and the last time they tried to beat a team 3 times in the same season, they lost in the playoffs to a Jake Plummer led Cardinals team in 1998.
Reasons I think Dallas will win a close game:
-I think they really are the better team overall.
-I don't see T.O. Owens sitting this one out. I will be shocked if he does. And Owens at 80% is better than a lot of starting WRs in the league today.
-The addition of Terry Glenn will take some pressure off Owens/Witten and provide another ample offensive weapon for Romo. Glenn, also, may not be 100% but he will command a fair share of attention due to his speed and ability to stretch the field.
-I think Romo will have a very solid game. He really has only had one bad game this year (vs. the Filthadelphia Foul in Dec.) which WASN’T due to Jessica Simpson’s presence. The media hype about him going to Mexico this past weekend won’t make a difference with his preparation for this weekend. Romo is viewed as a top tier QB all over the NFL and for good reason…because he is that good. However, if Dallas loses or Romo struggles, the media and some fans will attribute it to not being focused enough on football and being too focused on his blond girlfriend.
-Outside of TO Owens, everyone else is healthy. And since Dallas' offensive line has done a pretty good job against the Giants pass rush two previous times this season, I think they will be able to hold their own again giving Romo time in the pocket. And generally if Romo is given a little time, he will make something good happen.
-Dallas’ defense has been getting good pressure on the opposing QB and has gotten better as the year has progressed. I don't expect that to change on Sunday either. Eli's flaw is how he plays under pressure which has gotten to him in the previous 2 games vs. Dallas. Dallas needs to collapse the pocket and force him into bad throws as they did previously. If Eli is given time though, he will sit back and pick Dallas’ secondary apart.
-Even though they beat Tampa Bay, the Giants didn't really open up their offense that much and Eli didn't lose the game for them. Tampa Bay is very average, at best, offensively so while the Giants looked solid in beating them, you also have to consider the opponent. Dallas is very potent, offensively, and the Giants' secondary is suspect. If the pass rush doesn't get to Romo, the Giants' secondary will be exposed.
In the end, I think Dallas wins a close game. But like I said, I am nervous about it. It’s one game and even though Dallas won the previous two games, they were both close late in the 4th quarter and Dallas needed 50 yard TDs (in both games) to put them away. The best team doesn’t always happen to win…but I think it does here. Prediction: Dallas 28, New Yawk 23.
-T.O. Owens may not play but if he does, he won't be 100%. He is THE difference maker and the Dallas offense will not be the same without him. The level at which he plays could determine how the offense plays. This is not like the injury he came back from in ’04 to play in the Super Bowl when he was with the Eagles.

I Hope Dallas At Least Makes the Game Tomorrow Competitive
I don't have just a whole lot to say about the Dallas - Foreskin game tomorrow. Washington can make the playoffs tomorrow with a win so you know they will be going full speed from start to finish. Dallas, on the other hand, has already secured a #1 seed in the NFC, 1st rd. bye and home field advantage through out the playoffs. Even if they lose tomorrow that will not change. So, I expect Dallas to treat the game tomorrow like a preseason game where the starters, that do play, will only play about half the game...at most. Which means Dallas will probably lose by 10-14 points.
I do hold out a glimmer of hope that Dallas' JV team will play balls out and maybe even have a small chance of winning. Terry Glenn is playing some tomorrow (if it doesn't rain) and getting him back, even if he isn't 100%, is a great thing. However, I think Dallas' game plan, on both sides of the ball, will be very vanilla and they won't show much of what they are planning for the playoffs.
Sweeping Washington, especially if it mean knocking them out of playoff contention, would be sweet however a Super Bowl victory would be 10 times better. So, I'm willing to take a loss tomorrow if it means going deep in the playoffs and possibly going to the Super Bowl.
My prediction: Washington 24, Dallas 13

Damn Patriots
Damn Patriots. There really isn't a damn thing I like about that team, not the least is their cheat for a coach. I really wish Goodell had taken away more draft picks, fined the team more and suspended Belicheat several games, but oh well. I was a serious G-Men fan tonight man. In fact, I kinda feel a little the same way as if Dallas would have lost. Some people want to see New England go undefeated but I'm certainly not one of them. Unfortunately, that may happen but I will not regard this as one of the best teams ever...even if just for spite.
And yes, that is really the way I feel about it.
