Re: 7 - 2

Here's my simple take on this. I think we need to be mindful that the Cowboys D sucks from top to bottom, front to back and side to side. However, even if this was the reason it demonstrated the following lovely little chain.....

1) The O-line was very good indeed
2) This allowed us to effectively run the ball
3) This allowed us not only to control the clock exceptionally effeiciently but opened up the passing game for Drew Brees
4) This allowed us to hit multiple receivers in all sorts of play calls
5) This allowed us to run our offence in the lights out fashion we know they can play
6) This allowed us to build a lead that meant the opposition, in this case the Cowboys, couldn't afford to keep running the ball
7) This played into our defensive positives (pressure and our secondary coverage) and away from our negatives (our rush defence which still is pretty sucky)
8) This allowed us to win the game in a truly ludicrous fashion.

This absolutely amazing comment comes from nfl.com and rather sums it all up....

Re: 7 - 2

Sean Payton is now 13-3 in prime time home games, including the playoffs. I don't know about you all, but to me that's really impressive. I don't have time to dig and crunch it all out, but I wonder if there is any other active coach right now who has a better record in prime time, under the lights.

That is exactly why corners aren't wide receivers.

At the pro level he should still be able to catch a short pass though, romo didn't laser it in or anything, greer has picked tougher passes than that off before but he's struggling now

The Cowboys have several really good starters, but they're like the Clowns in that they have no depth. And they can't blame injuries on their offense converting 0 first downs.

Re: 7 - 2

- the media said ATL would repeat as champions of our division
- the media said the Saints would only win 6 games
- Jahri Evans looked liked a healthy Jahri Evans....
- This game hurt both teams on both sides it was physical count the names.....
- Chris Ivory inspires Mark Ingram yet again....
- A running game wears down a defense.... and running the ball well consistently demolishes a defense.
-The shutdown Dez strategy employed by Rob Ryan was personal....
-Don't look now Corey White is ready to take over for greer...
-Don't you laugh every time Jimmy and Sproles are in the same picture
-Sean Lee is Dallas's Brian Cushing
-If we hold your team to 17pts we are gonna win every time.
-Jason Garret seat just got hot

You shouldn't throw stones if you live in a glass house, and if have a glass jaw you should watch your mouth..... cause I'll break your face!!! -50 cent
