PrintWell, this really is the end of the NFL season, if you can actually count the NFL Pro Bowl as a game. Still, they will be playing some semblance of football and you can glimpse a few Cowboys playing for the last time until preseason.
This is an open thread for the Pro Bowl.

I still habitually alternate between
4, 5, 9, and 11 because I’m not sure which is which in Denton.
Kanye, you want to be the voice of this generation? Get in line! It goes me, Obamagirl, the Freecreditreport.com guys, then It's a tie between you-and Crocs.

Flo like a fox
He’s going to cripple Breeze to eliminate one team from contention next year.
We could cut Henry and Roy
Then restructure some contracts, there must be a way we can fit him under the cap
He said he wants to play in a 3-4
Don’t know if he means DE or OLB.
OLB
He wants to rush off the edge.

I'm sure we have bigger needs
Like ILB, NT, Backup QB, O-Line Depth…
But it would be great to have him replace Canty.
So on consecutive plays...
..Jared Allen strips Kerry Collins, recovers the ball, and goes a few yards. Then “Purple Jesus”/AD/AP goes 13 yards up the middle for the TD.
Which begs the question: How bad is Tavaris Jackson ???
Just checking in and I notice Eli has thrown an interception.....
Imagine that.
Defending Big D: A Dallas Stars blog on SBN: easy to use, free to join.
Not a noticeable play
But AP did an amazing job recovering his own fumble.
The fade to Larry Fitz....
If I were in the endzone I’d throw it up to him every freaking time.
The only way you can stop him is if you push him out of bounds.
That is what made the goal line INT so puzzling
Just toss three corner fades to Fitzy and kick a FG at worst.

I missed most of the 2nd and 3rd Quarter
Did Gurode snap one over the QB’s head?
remember
I’ve probably been watching football longer than most of you have been alive, but remember when the NFL used to have the previous year’s champion play the college all stars (rookies mostly) in the preseason? Wasn’t always better than this “exhibition” Pro bowl? Why they quit doing that?
and no,
the game I recall were dullsville.
cause the pro teams didn't want to do it
and why would you want them to? Just another chance to get your guys injured.
Plus, the teams that drafted those guys don’t want them being exposed either.
Let them play the Arena Champs
with 45k on the line and see what happens…
One year
Cowboys were in the game, maybe after the first Super Bowl win, and had to play a team with Robert Newhouse as an All-Star. They had drafted him and he put on a show. College boys may have even won the game. It was kinda cool.
I remember that game
In today’s world, there’s no way that game could happen. If you’re an agent for one of those rookies, would you let them risk that?

Still better than this "Pro Bowl"
It seems that the rooks were showing the pros up more than the champs were comfortable with.
Bad Roy says
Parcells regime was better, more structured
Owens is a good guy but he is setting a bad example for the younger players with his actions.
He played better in a 4-3 because it was more “gap sound”
He is willing to restructure his contract, also taking into account if it is good for his family.
Anyone catch Ray Lewis's pre game prep speach ???
That reason alone is why he’s needed on this team…
yeah, we all know how important
pre game speeches are and how they are responsible for winning games…give me a break, execution on the field wins games, pre game speeches have nothing to do with that.
In Romo we Trust
I never watch the ProBowl but I caught a few quarters
Let me just say, after watching Flo play with the real ProBowlers, it’s clear he’s not in that league anymore. It was embarrassing to see as a fan.
I think Jerry made a big mistake extending him, and it’s going to end up costing the team.
They should step up preparing Free post haste, and/or make finding the future LT a priority this off-season.
T-New, shutting down WR's for Dallas since 2003
It doesn't take much to get Jerry to give someone a big payday
Hamlin, Flo, Barber, Crayton, RW2 – he is a softie.
I think he doubts his ability to gather and develop talent, so he overpays to hang on to what he has.

Jerry didn't make a mistake
he might be on the downside of his career, but he’s much better than Free or McQuistan. He had no choice but to re-sign Flo.
In Romo we Trust
He's better than the young backups
But that means they didn’t address finding his backup with enough urgency. So I have to blame Jerry either way. Flo is clearly on the downside, I just hope it’s not a quick decent.
Feb. 18-24 -- NFL Scouting Combine
Feb. 27 -- Veteran free agency signing period begins. Trading period begins.
April 25-26 -- NFL Draft
Backup should be replacement

That is the problem with this teams depth
no young guys pushing old guys out. Even Anthony Spencer can’t make Ellis sweat, or Jenkins to Henry. Our five OL are generally decent, but irreplaceable on the present roster. This way overinflates their perceived value.

Exactly
the error was in not finding a replacement. Three first rounders started every game at LT for their new teams last year.
He had a choice not to be forced into resigning Flo. Just because Flo is better than McQuistan doesn’t mean he deserves the big payday.
Why not franchise him?

+1 Tom...I was not happy with the resigning one bit...especially when you got possible replacements like Jordan Gross about to hit FA in a few weeks...
but then again, I agree Jerry should have this addressed prior to being held hostage in negotiating the recent contract…
