	What about the Cocky Cowboy fans with their " Randall Chokes,
Herchel Chokes, 20-10 was a drubbing but 31-7 at the Vet was a close game"?
If you want to be appreciated, show some appreciation unlike what your 
post seems to suggest.

>I realize Philly is a good team and they match up very well with Dallas.

	Ditto about your first sentence. I will be watching it on TV and 
can't wait for some of the hits Gang Green will dish out.

	Your appreciation for the Birds seems to have ended here. Good 
Defense causes offensive mistakes. They did not just happen for us like you
describe. Our lethal pass rush caused your QB to cough it up.
You describe 2 games out of our 12 wins this year and you take 
away something from us in each of those games. Don't worry. I am not going
to whine about your relatively easy schedule, quality of wins etc. It has been
overdone.

	Sheesh. I can't believe this. Joyner's interception was a beauty. He 
came out of nowhere to pick up the ball. The adjustments made by Bud Carson
at halftime closed the holes and made Gang Green step up the pressure with
blitzes etc. It did not just happen because Hebert lost his cool/nerve.

	That was 3rd and 10 and not 3rd and 1. So, it is not sooo stupid.
He did not throw it up for grabs. At the time, Cunningham threw the 
ball, there was just one defender on Barnett. The other guy came in late 
so our QB did not make a desperate throw into double coverage as his
detractors would have you believe. Barnett is a good receiver who made a
great catch.

	By the way, SF almost did allow us a secondhalf comeback ( although
not one of this magnitude).

	That's funny. That is what I think about Philly too ie. if they
limit their mistakes, they will win.

	I absolutely agree with you. If you agree that is how Emitt Smith got
his 163 yards( in game 2) of which you Cowboy fans are soooo proud of.

	I agree about it being a good game. I thank you for your opinion
whether you decide to include me or not.
