When healthy Megatron is the best receiving in the NFL no doubt. But when you are hurt a lot your “Vaule” to the team is greatly diminished and therefore he is not the Most valuable player.
Have you ever spent much time around Texans, people living in Texas, people living in Dallas that are Cowboys fans, people living outside of Texas that were originally from Texas, or any other social group of individuals that have rooted for the Cowboys at some point while living in Texas? It's unlike anything I've ever seen. My wife and I have traveled this country back and forth for the last 6 years through work, an no city in this country has a love/hate like Dallas does with romo. I've personally witnessed it on countless occassions. When the Cowboys lose, heck even if romo throws an interception, or has a fumble, the trade takes start amongst the fans. "We gotta get rid of him, he's a cancer, we need a new QB." But, when he wins, he's the messiah, and better than Joe Montana. I can't think of another winning football town with the same thoughts. Patriots, packers, Seahawks, Broncos, Colts to name a few, I've never seen anyone ready to lynch Peyton manning for throwing a pick 6, or trade Russell Wilson because the Seahawks got off to a rough start. Also, all my in laws are from Texas...if only I could record the conversations my cowboys fan brother in law has with his family during and after the games. Half the time you'd question whether he really likes the Cowboys at all.
Evidently you were never in Green Bay when a post season dream was dashed by yet another stupid int thrown by Brett.
Also, not to stir the pot anymore to those of you betting on Dallas, have you ever looked at his regular season numbers vs. his elimination game numbers? It's pretty evident the guy has a hard time winning big games. I believe someone above called him a "big game" QB...how? Has he won one single playoff game 4 years ago and was eliminated the following round. I'm not for or against Dallas, if anything I'm for them seeing as I've married into a bunch of Dallas fans, but I just enjoy debate.
Nope never was in Wisconsin with Brett at the helm, only since Rodgers has taken over. I'm not talking like a one catastrophic event leading to angry fans as in the case of Brett. I'm talking about on a regular basis, nearly weekly the people of Dallas love/hate romo for something.
Look at his QBR right now (especially the 4th quarter). They arent' imaginary numbers. And anyone can obviously see this is a VERY different Cowboys offense. He doesn't have to sling it 40-50 times a game forcing plays anymore. Hell he threw it around 20 times in that Eagles game. Combined with the running game and the protection he gets this year and half the load is off his shoulders. Just different.
As a Detroit Fan, I'm really not that shocked the Lions blew it in the end. I mean the Tigers and Wings have been doing that since the early 90's
The lions should have won tonight, woulda been nice to see Dallas loose, Green Bay will beat them, then the pack will loose to Seattle in the NFC championship. Seahawks - patriots in the SB. Seattle's gunna repeat! Go Seahawks! .. Haven't the wings won like 5 cups since the early 90's? Haha
4 Cups since '97 but they have had many more disappointing playoffs losses since, 4 for 25 on playoff appearances lol
I found it funny that big bad Suh was fighting off tears during his meeting with the media, tough guy can't handle losing. THERE IS NO CRYING IN FOOTBALL.
First of all I am a Packer fan so you can't hold the Vikings against me, and I believe the Minnesota Lynx recently won a championship.
I like how the Cowboys match up against GB compared to the Lions game. They have a good chance of coming out of that game with a win as long as they keep running the ball and play average defense.
I give the Boys a decent shot. Not great, but decent. I don't know if the defense can hold up enough against Rodgers and company. The road doesn't matter really being 8-0, but I think the will allow a lot of points and will be tough to win a shootout. Cowboys will have to control the game with the running game and keep Packers offense off the field is their only chance (or turnovers/special teams). Not out of the question with Murray against the 25th ranked run defense. Wouldn't bet on it, but certainly a chance.
