The Nightlife Problem

An edit to a previous Diary called "The Jessica Problem"

I've noticed a problem with my beloved Cowboys, and I wondered if any of you guys on this most excellent of blogs had noticed it too.

Now, I'm not putting the blame on Jessica Simpson, as if she was some totem that causes the Cowboys to play poorly, but I think the root of the problem with the Cowboys recently has been their lack of enthusiasm while playing at home.

On the road, the Cowboys are a dominant team.  Something about getting away from Dallas, focusing on nothing but the game while cloistered in a hotel room in the opposing city, makes the Cowboys better players.  When they are at home, it's as if they all go out and get hammered out of their minds the night before a game, and just do not show up on Game Day, b/c they are all hung over.

Now, some of you will say that the mark of a Great team is that they can win when they have to, that they can win when they suck.  But these Cowboys should have come out and destroyed the Bungles, but instead, they tried to sit on a 17 point lead Parcells-esqe.  Garrett's gameplan was better this week, but the box score shows that the leading passer was Carson Palmer, and the leading receiver was TJ Whoseyermama.

Next week, we are @ Arizona, so if my theory is correct, we should blow them out of the water.
