Welcome to The Dallas Cowboys Fan Network - join us it's free!
That's me in the picture with Tony Romo. We have participated in a few functions together since 2006 - he is a great guy and a good friend to The Dallas Cowboys Fan Network. You can get more detailed information on The Dallas Cowboys Fan Network and hear the story about how I got to know Tony Romo here

Dallas just got whipped
I wish I could blame play-calling or effort or overconfidence, but the fact of the matter is, Dallas just got whipped by a better team.
The O-Line got whipped by a pass rush that gave Romo a vest pocket, at best. At one point, Niles Crane said Romo was "running for his life." I wish. He was bracing for a hit - he had no room to run.

An even matchup all the way through...
After looking over the specifics of this game, you really won't find a more even matchup in an NFL playoff game. First, let's look statistically:
Let's start with rush defense: Minnesota is ranked 2nd giving up 87.1 yards a game. Dallas is ranked fourth at about 90 yards a game - a 3 yard difference. Passing defense - again both teams are close right in the middle of the pack with Minnesota giving up 218 yards a game to Dallas giving up 225.

Cheese and Kool-Aid: Breakfast of Also-rans
Former Head Coach Bill Parcells used to warn his players not to "eat the cheese," meaning not to get too caught up in their own good press. Cheese, he reasoned is used to bait traps.
There are a lot of things I don't miss about Big Bill, but now would be a good time for the Cowboys to heed the that advice. And for fans still giddy about the first play-off win since 1873 (or whenever,) don't be too quick to drink the Kool-Aid.

Wade opens a 50-gallon drum of "whatever" on Philly
Our Dallas Cowboys slammed the door on the Philadelphia Eagles last night, and left no doubt at all about who was the better team. What was more impressive is that Dallas actually managed to improve on an already terrific late-season run in two important ways.
While closing the season on a three game winning streak, with consecutive shutouts in the last two, and Tony Romo named Offensive Player of the Month for December, the Cowboys still came up short in a couple of areas.
