I like Mike Golic’s analysis this morning on the games this coming week. He picked cowboys to go 7 and 9 so they’ll lose to the Falcons. WHAT?

I do like the underdog position a lot better then the opposite and I do hope the players can use it for some emotional edge. They really need something to rally around. I thought maybe it was our ST coach, or maybe Brookins leadership, or just us against the world.

put much stock into what “experts” say ….. how many of them came out and said, “I think the Raiders will actually beat the Eagles?” None.

No way do Chad Henne or Mark Sanchez deserve to be on that list instead of Tony Romo. How strange.

but he’s been off the Cowboys wagon for a while now. He likes those other teams better, so good on him. I do think that he questions our coaching a great deal and that’s the tie breaker. I can guarantee you that if we were coached by Rex Ryan or Jeff Fsher or even our old guy Sporano (or the Tuna for that matter) we’d surely be in his top 15. He doesn’t respect Wade as a head man – and frankly, that falls in line with many on these boards…

The guy has some of the best real estate a sports journalist could have, a weekly column in Sports Illustrated, and he rambles on about coffee, hotels and the coffee that is served in hotels, the acela train and the coffee served on the acela train, and his daughter’s softball games.

Every week KissingSuzyKolber deconstructs Fatty McButterpants’ column, and it is usally laugh out loud funny.

As for him"watching a lot of football" he has lips so firmly planted on Brett Favre’s tucchus that I doubt he gets to see much. Dr. Z wrote about football. Don Banks writes about football. King writes about personalities. His analysis of games and strategies boils down to “Belichick (and/or insert the name of whomever King has a mancrush on) won’t let them lose.”

I know he has been writing about football forever, but the guy is a joke. The Cowboys did not play last week, which means that Peter did not see them on TV, which means he forgot they existed. As they do not exist in his coffee addled, hotel staying, train riding world, He could not put them in his rankings.

Have the cowboys dropping 2 spots to number 19 this week. Our only two losses come against their 4th and 5th ranked teams. We are their lowest ranked 3-2 team and are ranked below three 3-3 teams. Teams like Chicago that lost this past week actually climbed up two spots. Thank Goodness they don’t matter.

How far will we drop when we beat their number 7 ranked team this week?

Time for Tex to wager against Tony Romo in a big game… again.

If, if and if.

If:

1. Tony Romo was more consistently accurate with his throws.
2. Flozel didn’t false start at least once per game.
3. Ware had 6 sacks.
4. Roy Williams had 10 first downs.
5. Austin had catches the first four games.
6. The defense didn’t like to lay down 58 minutes through the game.
7. Dallas had a very good Free Safety.
8. Felix Jones wasn’t hurt all the time.
9. Martellus Bennett was used more in the passing game.

Comparing the current Falcons to the Cowboys of the early 1990s?

Not only do Matt Ryan and Roddy White fall short of their respective Triplet counterparts, but Gonzalez is past his prime and Emmitt is arguably the best running back in NFL history. Turner has had one good year and is average this year (he’s on my fantasy team and I’ve replaced him with late pick Cedric Benson).

Eatman writes:
“Michael Turner isn’t the biggest or fastest, but just gets the job done and racks up yards. Yeah, that was Emmitt.”

Actually, Turner is the biggest…and the fastest.

How could a knowledgeable person make such a claim about a 244 pound back nicknamed “the burner”

Turner relies almost exclusively on his athleticism and will therefore have a short window of success. Emmitt was a threat in his thirties due to an uncanny ability to find holes and keep his balance.

Let us also not forget that there’s no Larry Allen on the Falcons. I like Justin Blalock, but come on.
