GO COWBOYS!!
I know the game is 5 days old already, but I never got a chance to blog about them. Green Bay just looked pathetic against the Cowboys right up until Favre got hurt.
After that you could see a noticeable let down by the Boys in Blue and let the Pack slip back into the game. But they woke up enough to finish them off strong and never really let them close enough to make them worry us.
Probably the worst thing to happen was their QB-1 getting hurt and had to leave. That was why we let up. The Boys just cannot let up in that situation. The biggest thing that helped us though. #31 sitting on the sidelines when they went 5 wide. Williams just cannot cover and Coach Phillips is figuring that out.
I am loving the DeMarcus Ware, Greg Ellis, meet you at the Quarterback, combo. They are a 1-2 punch that is outstanding.
With Henry getting back on the field more and more along with Newman and we have a very nice secondary. Now that Reeves has gotten in a lot of experience, he makes a great 3rd back for those nickel and dime packages we use so much of now days.
But my hat is off to the O'line this week. OMG!!! Romo was back their sipping tea. He had so much time, he would look around and see no one was near him. Green Bay was supposed to be this great pass rushing team. I know their top guy was out, but replace the guy they had with the starter, and I'm not sure it will be near enough.
That was just fantastic.
With Terry Glen supposed to be back in 2 weeks (he better be, I have him sitting on my Fantasy League Bench ready to throw him in), will anyone be able to stop us.
Oh yea, stop down, New England still looks pretty good. But after 2 weeks of near losses, is this a Patriot let down, or other teams finally finding chinks in their armor. Dallas I think showed people the way. Then the Colts and Philly.
New England defense is great if they know you are going to run, or know if you are going to pass (which most people have to when they are down by 21 to the Pats offense). But if you can do either, they are not that good. And you can score on them. I really think the Ravens blew it last night. They had that game won in so many ways. Just 1 yard. They needed 1 yard to get that first down and keep the Pats off the field. Then just 2 yards. 2 yards out of the end zone.
So wouldn't it be cool to see the 16-0 (then 18-0) New England Pats in a rematch with the 15-1 (then 17-1) Cowboys in the Super Bowl. What a great game that would be? I think it would be really close as I think the Pats are beatable. And I think the Boys are the team to do it. Perfect season, but lose in the super bowl. Sweet.
And I think these last 2 weeks have shown the Pats to be mortal after all.
Until next time...
