I wish I watched the game with this fan You would have thought the Cowboys were not only 14-0 but were in fact winning by 30 points and were probably just going to force the NFL to forfeit the playoffs and just award the world championship to the Cowboys.
None of this is reality. It's one of the billion reasons why the Cowboys will not be good as long as Jerry Jones is making significant decisions within the organization: It's a disillusioned fanbase propping up a disillusioned owner and general manager, all of whom are insanely quick to point blame or criticize others.
The Cowboys are a plain 8-7, they will play for their season in a week in New Jersey and they had their asses beat by Philadelphia twice this season. The Eagles, clearly, are underachieving based on their talent. They are also probably better than the Dallas Cowboys.
The Eagles are a letdown. The Cowboys just aren't very good.
My cohorts in game watching kept going on and on about how the Cowboys are just banged up and the number of "Dream Team" references was off the charts. Meanwhile, the Cowboys couldn't keep Stephen McGee upright.
Don't worry, fans, the Cowboys are just a move away. Just one move.
If they can only get some coaches in here. While we're at it, let's get the Rangers some goddamned pitching.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
Grades:
Quarterback -- D-
We debated as to whether or not Tony Romo would have kept playing had the Giants lost earlier in the day and the division were up for grabs. I'd go with "YES!" The Cowboys were not just playing for the division. They were playing to keep the Eagles out. A pair of Giant losses and beating the Cowboys tomorrow and the Eagles take the division. I realize that McGee was under durress all day, but he also missed a lot of throws. Playing on the road ... err. Sorry.
Running Back -- D-
Felix Jones lasted one more series than Romo. Battling bad hammies all week, Jones was benched early as soon as the final for the Giants-Jets came down. I'd like to reiterate what I said on Friday: Blowing the game intentionally was a dumb move. If the Cowboys are the Green Bay Packers or New England Patriots, momentum and all that might not mean much. Those are proven teams, teams with skins on the wall. All this team has is Wade Phillips, Terrell Owens, Jessica Simpson the Special Teams Draft.
Wide Receiver -- F
Those dudes were out there the entire freaking game, which is sorta funny when you consider that who's more valuable next week against the Giants: Miles Austin, Jason Witten, Dez Bryant or Felix Jones? A lot of catches and yards came with the game out of hand.
Tight End -- D
It feels like at least Martellus Bennett's had a relatively productive year, probably the best in his four years in the NFL. No. Not really. Just 16 catches (third most), 139 yards (carere low) and zero touchdowns (tied for career low ... of zero). I forget he had a pretty nice rookie year with four touchdowns. Not another in three seasons.
Offensive Line -- F
Jason Babin drinks your milkshake.
Defensive Line -- C+
Good enough to win, for sure. Could've used more, always.
Linebackers -- C-
Oh look! It's DeMarcus Ware collecting another two meaningless sacks in a blowout loss. If you took Ware's dozen meaningless sacks and exchanged them for two or three meaningful sacks, then the Cowboys probably have 10 wins. Sorry. You don't approach the NFL sack record and complain about being triple teamed per your inability to be consistently game changing.
Secondary -- F
I read somewhere that the Cowboys' secondary took turns getting burned. A lot of Frank Walker. A lot. Kinda get the feeling he needs to go away.
Special Teams -- B
An "A" for effort for Mat McBriar. It probably hurt his foot like shit to have to punt nine times. Dwayne Harris needs to get his hands on the football. You can't tell me he's worse or just as good as Kevin Ogletree or that long-named asshole from Texas Tech.
Coaching -- C
With Jerry Jones barking in Jason Garrett's ear, you get the feeling that this was out of his hands. The Giants had won and this was a "meaningless" game and Romo and Jones needed to be extricated from the game. The defense was not good. It was, however, 75 percent better than the offense.
