The good news is that the Eagles lost. The bad news is that the Cowboys were pretty poor in all 3 phases of the game. It didn't help that the officials were astoundingly bad.
I'm not sure why the kicker that is on the roster to do nothing but kick-off into the end zone is not doing that anymore. The field goal kicker can kick it short just as well, and save the roster spot and some money to boot... har.
I guess the good news is that the Cowboys have Washington and Oakland coming up. They should win both games, leaving them at 8-3. That's a good chance for a division title, if not an easy wild card spot.
More bad news is losing Marc Columbo (right tackle) for the season. He's a solid player. It'll be interesting to see if Jerry Jones looks to sign a replacement, or use one of the young guys.. probably Doug Free. Good news is that Ken Hamlin was injured and is out for a few weeks. He's terrible.. terrible.. terrible.
Pretty much everything that could go wrong in the game, did. I think I've mentioned before that I used to officiate high-school ball. Some of the things they did (and didn't do) would get you a stern talking to after a varsity high-school game. In the pros, it's a complete embarrassment.
Oh.. and the Seahawks lost.. so ya, they're done. When a team has lost a chance at the playoffs, it's always a good time to give the young guys some playing time to see what they can do.

Is it just me, or did Flozell Adams look terrible?
At least he didn't have a false start again.
Flozell has a terrible time with quick and athletic pass rushers. He gets beat every time. If I were a defensive coach for the opposing team, I'd line up a fast linebacker on that side on passing downs, and do a lot of corner blitzes on him. He can't move for shit.
And the Cowboys should recognize that and keep a back in on that side to help him. Sort of a chip and bounce out onto the flat in case Romo needs to dump off.
Yup, the Seahawks are finished. I thought a win against the division leading Cardinals could have brought the season back, and they looked like they might pull it off until the 4th quarter.
Oh well. Gonzaga basketball has begun so that will keep me happy. They played a close game against Mich St last night, for which they lead most of the game. Really could have won it. It was good to see that they're not awful this year and should definitely be ranked.
