    and laugh at the total number of playoff wins since 1996....hey oh....


    1996! WOW.

    yep. which, if I'm correct, makes no difference in terms of trophies if you don't win it all. so, while you made the playoffs and always came up short, we were getting higher draft picks to help create the team we have today.

    congrats on your NFC East division winner hats and NFC Conference trophy.

    and I don't think we'll need 45 points a game, 41 seems like enough for some teams.

    and he was on cloud nine in philly with mcnabb. owens (i refuse to call him by his self imposed nickname) will implode, i have no doubt in my mind. only thing is, when will it happen? this season? probably not. next season? most likely.

    Been hearing "TO is going to implode next season" every season since he came to Dallas.

    true, but can you honestly say that the probability of that happening didn't just increase?

    I doubt we will be seeing that much double coverage with him, Witten, Williams all running around so I say it improves his chances of getting the ball more often

    he looked pretty pissed that last game but it was understandable. Even if it was only half about "the team" and half about himself, at least he gave a crap about what was going on.

    They gave Williams $20 million guaranteed plus I am willing to bet the deal is worth more than T.O's..T.O will not stand for that neither will Drew Rosenhaus...prepare for a looooong off season Cowboys fans...as for T.O calling Williams it was probably to say "Welcome to the team but the ball is mine"

    I would be too. That team had no fire at all on Sunday.

    Everyone needs to remember we had another pretty good receiver who used to walk up and down the sidelines screaming at people. He wound up in the Hall of Fame.

    Everyone keeps saying Dallas got fleeced. I disagree. We got picks from Tennessee beacuse of Pacman. We had an abundance of picks. So basically all the Cowboys gave up was a 1st and 3rd round for a proven young reeciver who will be here for years. They were probably going to pick a WR with that 1st rounder anyway and it would have at least been in the 20s. So what is the big deal again? And really, this is Jerry's way of looking forward. TO isn't getting any younger and appears to be on the decline. When his contract expires, Roy will only be 30.

    I think it is a good move. we got a new talent and it's not like he is 34 years old...he is only 27 and we dont need to waste a couple years developing him.

    The point is he isnt TO, he isnt Randy Moss, he isnt Larry Fitzgerald or even Anquan Boldin..he isnt even Calvin Johnson! its a 20 million dollar gamble and if your owner wants to take that gamble all the power to him...good luck with that cap in the future

    we'll just keep doing what we did when we had Aikman. we got in a little tight cap trouble, restructured Aikman's deal and we were fine. it happened every year and there was never any problem. you just love knit-picking at every little thing the Cowboys do. this offense just got so scary that you're praying that they self-implode the way people think they're "supposed" to.

    Hopefully Pacman is out for good this time..what a joke, and what a joke of an owner defending this scum..though he did recently changed his tune on the matter..

    yea I want him out. I'm sure the players do too, but they know better than to say it. I think Jerry protected him just because he's a player on his team, but thankfully, he did seem to change that. I like when he said that the 4 (FOUR?!) bodyguards that he hired to "protect" Pacman now were all out of jobs.

    Tony Romo is willing to do his part.

    The quarterback informed coaches on Wednesday that he is ready to play Sunday against the St. Louis Rams, a high-ranking Cowboys source told ESPN.com's Matt Mosley.


    Romo
    He suffered a broken pinkie finger on his throwing hand in a 30-24 loss at Arizona on Sunday, and Dallas medical staff said that he will miss a month. The injury did not require surgery.

    Romo did not practice on Wednesday but did throw the ball on the side, and according to eyewitnesses, he was able to throw the ball with good velocity and appeared confident after throwing. The session was not open to reporters.

    The Cowboys' biggest concern is that Romo gets hit again, causing him to miss more time than initially anticipated.

    Brett Favre, who has started an NFL-record 258 consecutive regular-season games, told ESPN on Tuesday that he called Tony Romo and encouraged him to try to play.

    "The only thing I said was, it's worth trying [to play] if you can deal with the pain and can function good enough with a splint,'' Favre said. "If not, don't try.''

    Favre has played through a fractured thumb in the past.

    After saying he'd try to play, Romo's streak of 30 consecutive starts is now in the hands of Cowboys coaches.

    I'd dress him, but not start him. even with a special splint that he used today, it's still very sensitive and even the smallest hit could really set him back. MAYBE, just maybe, not even dress him this week, and try and get him ready to go for next week.

    of course...I just like the attitude. At best, I say sit him on the sidelines this week and see how he feels for next week....maybe even save him for the midgets depending on how Johnson does.

    yea of course, I love the attitude as well. apparently he threw on the sideline today with a special splint and he threw with good velocity and accuracy and didn't seem uncomfortable afterwards. also, the finger won't need surgery so that's great.

    and ROY WILLIAMS (#38) fully participated in practice today and it looks like Pat Watkins might be back too. Kevin Burnett is in a walking boot though with some calf-strain type of injury. he's questionable for this week.

    I think he at least needs to sit this Rams game out and then see how it feels.

    Don't worry Romo, Favre won't think you're a pussy if you don't play.
