The Aftermath Of The Showdown!

Was your popcorn ready for the showdown? Did you find yourself making sure all work was done by 5.. so you could get home, put your jersey on and get comfy on the couch? Did you make it to your friends house, or local sports bar by kick off? Where do I start?? Cowboys are 11-1.. They clinch a playoff spot tonight.. Can win the division with a Giants loss this weekend.. Sounds pretty good right? While driving home tonight, I was listening to the post game show on a local sports talk station here in Dallas.. The first caller of the night was a Packers fan.. and I knew this question would be coming.. “If Brett Favre had not gotten hurt do you think the Cowboys still would have won?” Who didn’t see this one coming.. Yes the Cowboys would have still won this game.. Key reason.. prior to Favres leaving this game he had 5 completions for 64 yards, and 2 interceptions.. that right there would lead me to believe the following..

A. Favre was seeing pressure that he is not used to seeing, and he was not allowed to pick our defense apart..

B. Our secondary finally showed up to play!!

Second caller of the night.. obviously another Packer fan.. “The refs gave the Cowboys the game, because they wanted America’s Poster boy “Romo” to continue his cinderella story “Are you f**king kidding me”? I might buy that if Romo had another retarded attack like he had in Buffalo.. but come on, are you serious? 19/30 309yrds 4 TD 1 interception.. and keep in mind the interception was not his fault.. Eventually people are going to have to face facts.. Tony Romo is for real! I don’t really see why that is so hard for people to believe.. Yes he was undrafted, yes he sat on the bench for 4 years.. I guess everyone seems to forget the fact that Tom Brady was the 33rd pick in the 6th round of the 2000 draft.. Is it that hard to believe that Romo is for real?

Now I know with these big games comes the really stupid questions and comments.. Packer fans.. no disrespect.. but I truly believe, simply put.. The Packers finally ran up against a team that made them look average.. the Cowboys exposed soft spots in the defense.. and got pressure on Favre.. Not to say our defense did a stellar job in the 2nd half.. because honestly.. I thought this game was over at half time.. especially with Aaron Rogers at the helm.. The Cowboys defense started to scare me down the stretch..Before I get the irate email for an angry cheesehead. I understand two of your key secondary players were out.. might have made a difference in the outcome, but hey.. we could bring up the fact that we are playing without Glenn.. When it all boils down to it.. This Cowboys team is for real.. and I guess the only way they will get the respect they have EARNED and deserve.. were just going to have to make a trip to Arizona.. and bring us back a trophy!

Last but not least.. As a Cowboys fan.. the pass interference call late in the 4th quarter really could have gone either way.. Romo aired it out on 1st and 1o.. Worst case scenario.. we don’t get the call, and its 2nd down and 10.. roughly about 10-15 yards more.. were in field goal range.. and we win by 6..
