Go Phins, Go Vikes
No strong love of either team, but it would be fun to watch Philadelphia go down in flames again.

ok with go vikes
sale reason, wipe out the eagles smile (I’m sure Philly fans must think it’s their sports year) but it is unpleasant to watch Miami ’s success due to former cowboys coaches, so go Ravens

Hey Deke
The Patriots have decided to ensure that quarterback Matt Cassel won’t be an unrestricted free agent, as scheduled in March.
Sources told ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen that the Patriots will use a franchise tag on Cassel that will give the team two options: Trade him if all goes well with Tom Brady’s rehabilitation from a knee injury or keep him because all is not well with Brady.

I think they'll wait to see if Brady is healthy for the season first
before they think of trading him. There have been mixed reports on his health, some say he’s ahead of schedule, some say he needs another surgery, who knows with the Patriots….
Patriots have alot of money under the cap, but to carry almost 30 million for two QB’s is exsessive…

that is part of it
I think we mismanaged Fasano.
I never thought much of Polite.
I don’t think ZT was an upgrade of Ayodele. They were both JAGish two down LBs with no knack for the big play.

Fasano was not going to beat out Witten.
He had an important role and I think we did teach him well. We just decided to go in another direction. As far as coaching goes, are’nt the guys teaching him now the same guys teaching him when he was here.
by squidlo97 on Jan 4, 2009 2:09 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Beating out Witten - neither did Bennett
Is Bennett about to? Spending a second round on a backup TE when we had a decent backup TE was a strange move. The team was fine at TE and moving Fasano created a need.
I think the mismanagement was in terms of not using him enough, and deciding he was scrap.
by I_miss_Switzer on Jan 4, 2009 2:34 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
I'd take Bennett over Fasano
any day of the week.
Bennett is a much superior athelete and has WAY MORE upside

So would I
but we needed upgrades and depth at S and OL. Spending a second rounder on a second TE was a luxury we could ill afford, and it filled a need that was created artificially by gifting Fasano to the Dolphins. It looks especially costly seeing as how we have given up first and third rounders this year to fill another position of non-need.

weren’t to fond on Pennington too, regardless of what you say the coach wanted.
by joey7289 on Jan 4, 2009 2:18 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
you dont know what you're talking about
Pennington was the leader in the locker room and on the field with the Jets, Players respected him. It was ownership that wanted Favre, they wanted some press to take away from the Giants and a QB to throw it down the field more, that’s not Penningtons game, as I said….
If Pennington was with the Jets this year, they would of made the playoffs, because they had a one of the best running games in the league setting up playaction, his bread and butter….

The Jets spent 140 million on players in bonuses and contracts
The organizaton wanted to make a splash in New York, because of all the press the giants were getting. What better way than to get favre, they wanted to stretch the field more on offense, you cant do that with Pennington. They didn;t cut him because he sucks or any other reason. They gave him his release so he would have a chance of signing with someone else, a class act by the organization.. They went out of their way to thank Pennington publicly for his service with the jets…

I never said he was the answer
I said he was the best QB for what Miami was running- try understanding what I say and don’t jump to the ridiculous conclusions
And if dallas ran the ball as they should of instead of throwing the ball down the field all the time, which this team is not, then a two tightend power running team and a QB in pennington who doesn’t make the poor decisons that romo makes, and doesn’t force the ball into double coverage all the time that Romo does, then he would of lead the cowboys to the playoffs….but we have a whinner T.O who is never happy and Garrett was trying to satisfy him instead of spreading the ball around.
by Deke on Jan 4, 2009 2:23 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
No you didn't
I remember clearly what you said and you said if Pennington was on the Cowboys we would be in the playoffs. This is exectly what you said
If we had Pennington this year, we probably would of been in the playoffs
certainly makes better decisions than Romo

by joey7289 on Jan 4, 2009 2:27 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
because the gameplan would of been different, clue in
We have a power running offensive line, we wouldn’t be trying to throw it down the field all the time.
Our best drive in the philly game was a ball control, running the ball, throwing it to the tightends and backs out of the backfield, inside out, that’s our offense. We certainly wouldn’t have Pennington throwing forty yards down the field all the time as Romo wants to do. Different GAME PLANS FOR DIFFERENT QB’S… DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT!!!
The problem is that Garrett is too busy having Romo trying to make big plays down the field instead of checking down, and not being patient with the football
And that’s exactly what I was saying
by Deke on Jan 4, 2009 2:35 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
That is what I said
Last week is that the Dolphin’s system that fits Pennington. You told me when you protect the ball you win games. I then told you that the Dolphins played an easier schedule and you laughed at that. Look at what happens when they play a good team. Pennington looks even worse then Romo has been.
by joey7289 on Jan 4, 2009 2:38 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
also said about Pennington.
yeah, we wouldn’t be losing 7 games this year and in the playoffs
by Deke on Dec 28, 2008 7:34 PM PST to parent up reply reply actions actions 0 rec
My only point this entire time is that Pennington is no better then Romo, but according if we had Pennington we would be in the playoffs. Your words…not mine.
by joey7289 on Jan 4, 2009 2:41 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
I never said he was better than Romo talent wise
If we played a the power running game for which this team is, whether you want to believ that or not, Pennington would of been a better fit if we actually played the way we were built, because we wouldn’t have been throwing down the field all th etime.
The cowboys right now are built to be a power running team setting up playaction, plain and simple, but with romo we spent too much time trying to make big plays all the time down the field…
by Deke on Jan 4, 2009 2:49 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
they couldn't run the ball today to set up playaction
what part of that dont you understand. It’s not that you substitute one QB for another and not change the game plan.

But once again in Dallas it would be no different so what don’t YOU understand.
by joey7289 on Jan 4, 2009 2:45 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Pennington would of taken the check downs more and wouldn't have the turnovers Romo had
instead of throwing forty yards down the field having INT’S… checking down, moving the chains
I have no doubt if Pennington was the Qb under the system we should of been playing, we wouldn’t have lost 7 games..
by Deke on Jan 4, 2009 2:52 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Romo didn't have the time
During the end of the year. Pennington didn’t have the time today, similar to the way Romo didn’t have the time when he played the Ravens. Not to mention we played the Giants, Eagles, and Steelers, plus the Ravens. Four of the best defense. Romo had no time to make plays and to be honest I don’t think Pennington would have changed the lack of blocking.
by joey7289 on Jan 4, 2009 2:54 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
I'm not puttng it all on Romo
All I’ve ever said is that he needs to take better care of the football, cut down on the stupid turnovers, two in the raven game were on him, learn to throw it away when there isn’t anything there and to take the checkdowns more. Romo, dont call it a punt when it’s second down, that’s riduculous
It doesn’t help when you have T.O running poor routes, stopping on routes, as the first turnover against Pittsburgh was. We never establish the running game enough early.
we had a great drive in philly going, running, hitting witten and the backs out of the backfield, moving the chaons, then when we get in the redzone on a third and two, we run some riduculous, shotgun, fake draw, lateral to a receiver two yards behind the line of scrimmage..
Romo still throws bad passes when he does have time
by Deke on Jan 4, 2009 3:05 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Fair Point
Glad we’re civil now. haha But in seriousness I really think they need to pound the ball a lot more like your saying. Set up for that play action and deep routes. And Romo throwing bad passes when he has time isn’t just him, many NFL QBs do that too. I think you give him time, like in the Giant game and he’ll make the plays.

Onomatopoeia players
this is just a stupid amusement while watching other teams play playoff games, but I was thinking about players whose names describe what they do. (Kind of like an onomatopoeia, a word that sounds like what it means.)
Here’s some examples I can think of, only current players:
- Quentin Jammer (CB)
- Rock Cartwright (RB)
- Leonard Weaver (RB)
- Lorenzo Booker (RB)
- Marty Booker (WR)
- Gary Brackett (LB) (bracket the WR)
- Michael Turner (RB) (turns the corner and turns it on)
- Ed Reed (FS) (read the QB)
- Chris Gamble (CB) (gamble to jump the route)
- Willie Parker – too much time parked on the bench lol (he was on my ff team)
any others? retired players?

maybe. But looking at the way we split the games this year, i’m not sure how that game could be called any more than a push.
Theres obviously Eagles bias on this statement, but i think the Eagles will win this game. Its amazing what not having to double team Burress will do for a defense.
If we do win this game, you gotta like the Eagles chances the rest of the way

That's for sure
Its amazing what not having to double team Burress will do for a defense.
It’s like getting a twelfth man on defense. The Giant’s fans and the medial can claim otherwise all they want but when you don’t have to double team ANYONE on the opposing team’s offense then you can pin your ears back and rush the heck out of the QB. Hence 8 sacks when we played them. I get the feeling the Eagles will be using the same game plan against the Giants that we did.

You might be right about Cowboy fans in general, but not all Dallas sports fans act like that
Anyway, the big difference between the fans of the Cowboys and the fans of the Eagles is that Eagle fans have less to be complaining about. Look at the success you’ve had in the last 8 years or so. No comparison. If you hadn’t won a playoff game in 12 years you’d be a little testy too and have a right to it BTW.

I guess that is a fair point. No rings would give one a lot to complain about. Still, you’re right. We do have more to complain about than you guys. We’ve felt what it’s like to win it all and be dominant. Then to go to the bottom for so darn long is simply unacceptable. As if any of the players care what we find acceptable. LOL
Right now we can’t even get on the doorstep. There’s a sign on the front lawn that says “Dogs and Cowboys stay off the lawn!!!”
