Seriously, I can't believe everyone is ignoring the Niners in many of the
posts I've seen.  They had the best record in the NFL and look pretty
unstopable and all I hear is Eagles and Cowboy woofs.  C'mon Niner fans,

WRONG-O!!!  Tampa Bay and Seattle have both been one game from the Super Bowl.
Bucs in 1979--lost to Rams 9-0.  Bucs also made the playoffs in 1981.
Seattle lost to the Raiders in the AFC title game in 1984 (or was it 85) well,
after the 1984 season, I'm quite sure of it.  As far as I know, every NFL team
has played in at least one playoff game, but I think that only the Saints (and
maybe the Cardinals) are the only teams that have never won.

Oh well, looks like its between the Niners and the Skins...**sigh** more hype
from the local papers to come....

But, I agree with the JJ's.  Why replace a productive defense for just one 
person?  The Niners and the Skins need him more that Dallas does. 

Onward to victory....

A friend of mine pointed something out that I didn't notice before.  He
thinks that Cunningham has more problems with a pass rush because he takes
a long time to cock and throw the ball.  Not a *long* time, obviously, but
significantly longer than others.  Dan Marino comes to mind; his release
is lightening fast.  It seems that maybe Cunningham brings the ball back
further than most, and the little bit of difference in time is all that
NFL defenders need.

This is hysterical.  First you say how the Eagles defense was on the field
the whole first half, and then slam the Cowboys' offense in virtually the
same breath.  Pretty funny.

Waa-waa-waa.  The refs robbed us, the refs robbed us.  The refs *gave* you
the opportunity in the first place, with an unneccessary roughness call on
Holt after the Eagles failed on third down.  Gee, so the score should have
been 20-14.  Much different.

>And may I add, led by a quarterback who has never won a playoff game.

Again, hysterical, considering that the same could be said of your beloved
Randall three days ago.  At least Aikman hasn't *lost* a playoff game.  Or
three.  Cunningham is a hell of a lot shakier than Aikman ever was.

Dwight Hollier is taking his cues from Cox and his two fellow rookies,
Coleman and Vincent.  Coleman, Vincent and Hollier are only rookies,
so they don't know yet that the Miami defense isn't supposed to be any
good. Also, If you watch special teams, you'll see that Hollier is
always in on the play.

Jeff Hunter was picked up in mid-season, after Alfred ("I was
kidnapped!") Oslesby was let go.  Hunter was waived by another team
(Detroit, I think), and the Dolphins picked him up to help the pass
rush and to be a backup to Cross and Coleman.  I think I read that he
had 6 sacks last year with whatever team he was with.

Hmmmmmmmmm......  Cross, Coleman and Cox - the killer C's?  Nah.  It

There really wasn't any one Cowboy who really dominated his position.
Da 'Boys play at least 7 linemen and 4 linebackers.  If some linemen played
4 downs then you would see them in Hawaii...ex. Jim Jeffcoat leads the team
in sacks with 10 1/2 but he only comes in on pass plays.  I don't see him 
beating out Reggie White for the Pro Bowl, or in the Pro Bowl without Charles 
Haley since Haley is the key to Jeffcoat's success.  But this is good...Since noone player on the team really shines over another, it should be all or none in
the Pro Bowl.  And for the the JJ's sakes, it would make it much easier to
negotiate with level-headed free agents who would now have something to prove tothe league next year.  Don't forget people...the Cowboys use a lot of players 
at the same defensive positions and they are very young.  I think they would 
bypass the Pro Bowl for a ring....wouldn't you?

In other words, "They" are the best defense in the league which is not exactly
comprised of the best defensive players in the league.  But I'll take that
over a Wilbur Marshall defense.

AHHH, Come on.  I'm never one to pass up a decent buy.  A buck and a quarter
