It was all part of the plan.  It was starting to look like a SF

will.  :^)

They say the run and shoot can't function in the cold and snow, and then Warren
Moon threw for 525 or so yards against a tough defense (KC) in the freezing cold
in December a couple of years ago.

I would agree with Madden in general, unless it's a grass field that is soaked with
rain.

And you failed to mention the great NFC championship game at Soldier
field.  Who would have thought the Niners can beat the Bears in such a
cold weather with a razor-sharp passing game by Montana, Rice and Co.?
They even lost to the Bears at Chicago in an Monday night game earlier
in the season.  That single win made the Super Bowl itself sort of
anticlimatic (except for the last 3:09)...

Yes, that was truly a memorable season...

This is true, but it doesn't sound as good when we yell, "Squish the

Hi,

Did anyone catch this on Letterman the other day?  It was something like
"Top 10 reasons why the Houston Oilers gave up a 35-3 lead and lost the
game".  Some of the ones I remember were:

-"I know you didn't see any Dobermans on the field, but dammit there were
  Doberman's on the field".
-"Players only gave it 109% instead of giving it 110%"
-"Hey, you try tackling those guys"
-"Didn't REALLY want to go Disneyworld"

Anyone else remember more?

IMHO the best thing that came out of the Cowboys spanking of the Eagles
today was demonstrated by Jimmy Johnson's game plan (as well as the
result of thge game).  The coaching staff has finally come to the point
where they realize that if they play mistake-free football, they can and
will beat teams like the Eagles.  Their conservative play demonstrated
this quite well.  There were alot fewer risky calls (and, as a result,
far fewer mistakes) because JJ realizes now that his team is good enough
that it doesn't need to take as many chances.


As for the two biggest mistakes the Cowboys made:

1.  The offsides call on the Iggles punt (first Philly drive).  The ball
was quite clearly moved foreward before the snap drawing the line
offsides. I'll stop just short of blaming this on the refs.

2.  The Smith "fumble" that was clearly caused by the ground.  This was
the fault of the refs!


To Iggles fans: congrats on a good season.  I think we have quite a
rivalry going here, and it is fun [espeacially when we win (-: ].

To 9ers fans:  see ya next week!  It should be a good one.

FRANK

btw I'm glad my 24 (Cowboys)-17 (Iggles) prediction was wrong!  (-:

In today's Washington Post, it was stated that the Bears organization is
interested in Rich Petitebon, the Skins Assistant Head Coach/Defense, for
the head job in Chicago.  For years I've heard announcers and other 
coaches give Petitebon as much credit for the Skins success as Gibbs.  It
is a truly fine coach who can win with only three "star" caliber players
(Mann, Greene, and Marshall).  I wondered last year why he wasn't at
least interviewed for one of the 9 or 10 jobs that opened up.  Petitebon
says he hasn't heard from the Bears, but evidently they have to wait
until the Skins are out of the playoffs.  This is tough news for Skins
fans.  Obviously, I'd like him to stay, but I also want him to get the
chance and recognition he deserves.

For starters the first joke is mine, next if I were Ray, living in the 
Philly area where, you can't drive your car to the game if it has Cowboys
stickers on it our you get flat tires or broken windows, I would feel the
same way. Do you think the Eagles fans wouldn't have had a hoot at our
expense if they had won ? As for talking trash, he's right. The entire locker
room door was covered in Texas Stadium with enough Eagles trash to fill
a landfill. Many Cowboys fans do see the Eagles as "The Evil Empire"
and the Cowboys as the good guys. Many teams do dislike each other 
somewhat but the "Hate" betewwn these teams is real.

Although I give credit when due, the Eagles although they did talk a load 
of trash before the game they did handle the loss with the most class
I have ever seen from them.

Go Cowboys !!!!!

You know.. sometimes I wonder if that is the Dolphins problem this year...
Jim Jensen was simply a marvelous player...  He was perhaps the best special
teams player, their 3rd down specialist, their backup kicker and QB, etc...
It was a sad day when they cut him.  Funny, I would probably put him on my
Dolphins AllTime best list as well...  He was always there to make the key
3rd down conversion and Marino seemed to always find him at the sticks.
Why o'why did they let Jimmy go ;-(

Yeah, I also liked earlier when he ran left...  Great block by Humphries opened
up about a 8 yard gain, but the best is when the DB came up to stop him and
Aaron just crumpled his skinny butt...  Probably the last time that DB tried
to go shoulder-up with Aaron...

I think Mark Rypien has the potential to be a great QB.  This year, however,
he's faced a number of obstacles that he didn't face last year.  First,
he had a patchwork offensive line.  Second, defenses had the offseason to 
prepare schemes that would take away the big plays that dominated the Redskin
attack last season.  Third (and I have my doubts on this), he held out; an
argument can be made that this affected the offense early-on.  Fourth, the
best lineman in the NFL held out -- he was clearly not ready to play early-on
and then was injured.  Fifth, the Redskin defense has been hit with many
injuries as well -- their best corner held out, too.  When Green came back,
it was clear he wasn't ready, either.

I'm not a Redskin fan, but I know this whole season isn't Rypiens fault and
I think he's got the potiential to be one of the greats.  This season is the
exception, not the rule.

Actually they embarassed themselves BEFORE the game with all the whining
about not getting media attention and name calling of the Skins O line
("Jacoby is a Neandrethal" etc.).  They did go down hard against the Gs
but only because they didn't make the plays they should've (like letting
Dave Megget slip by a bevy of Bills on a 3rd and long, Beebe dropping passes
he should've caught, Mark Ingram running for yardage through the Bills D).

I truly hope that the Bills can manage to win one this year because they are
a talented bunch and shouldn't go down in history as "also rans".

All the people bashing the R&S in Houston should have paid attention
to how well "conservative run it out" worked for the Saints.

There's nothing wrong with the R&S in Houston; it was the lack of
teamwork, esp. on defense and special teams.  That's a decade long
problem.

IMO, the Bills embrassed themselves only in the 92 SB against the
Skins.   I thought they went down hard against the Gaints in the
91 SB.

I used to hate the Bills as much as I dislike the Boys and the Dolphs.
But somehow these Bills have earned my sympathy after Kelly has

This is in defense of Reggie White.  He is a class act!  I would take him over
Charles Haley simply because his personal life/ideals are good.  He is probably
the most decent player in the NFL...yes, he will crush you on the field, but
off the field he would help you out (Please don't let a Philly fan interject
with any Bill Clinton-type controversy.)  Of course, this doesn't mean I would
want him in Dallas now...I like the team the way it is...but Reggie is probably
your solution to trouble rather than the problem.  Plus, who would want anybody
that sounds like Bill Cartwright? (oops, in case you are basketball illiterate,
Bill Cartwright plays for the Chicago Bulls...you know...that Jordan fella's
team...:-) )

Hmm...I think I just attacked another Dallas fan...gotta make up for this one..
