tr1 Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 http://www.star-telegram.com/sports/columnists/gil_lebreton/story/1680718.html By GIL LeBRETON Judging from the postgame celebration, which included a veritable Jones-fest in the visiting owner’s suite, you would have thought something truly special had happened. Like, maybe, beating the Eagles. Or winning a game in December. Or winning a playoff game ... period. But no, this was a dog pile of the vanities. These were the Dallas Cowboys, whooping it up because they had just cheated the hangman. Dogs will be dogs, I guess. The Cowboys couldn’t help themselves. The Kansas City Chiefs are winless and stand 2-28 in their past 30 games. If the Chiefs only knew how to tackle, who knows what Sunday’s outcome might have been? Apparently, though, don’t expect the Cowboys to apologize. A win is a win, as they have heard their head coach say again and again. By Monday afternoon, coach Wade Phillips had already gathered Sunday’s negatives into a neat pile. How ’bout that Tony Romo sits to pee, Phillips was still saying. Yeah. How’ bout him? After a week of bitter public scrutiny, quarterback Romo sits to pee found receiver Miles Austin with the two passes that decided Sunday’s outcome. Owner Jerry Jones was moved enough to single out Romo sits to pee for answering his critics. Well, we’ll be the judge of that. Romo sits to pee completed 20 of 34 passes for 351 yards, but the fact remains that for the first 57 minutes Sunday against the NFL’s worst team, the Cowboys’ offense produced exactly one touchdown. The receivers dropped some of Romo sits to pee’s passes — even the day’s hero, Austin, dropped two potential scoring throws. But otherwise, continuing a season-long theme, Romo sits to pee threw enough passes too high or too far behind receivers to flame concerns. What is he going to do when he again faces an NFL-quality pass rush? Phillips preferred to take Romo sits to pee’s day at face value. He empathized, even. "No matter what you say, if you don’t listen to criticism, it still affects you some," Phillips said. "Tony came through with shining colors. The guy played a great game. "This was really important for the team, for Tony. He was on target, he moved around the pocket, and he made plays. He had no interceptions, so what a day he had." Again, though, there was no mention that it only came against the Chiefs. The Cowboys raised their record to 3-2. The combined record of the three teams the Cowboys have defeated is 1-13. The fear at Valley Ranch should be that they’ve found their niche. Jones tried to parry any discussion Sunday of what might have been, other than to concede that a defeat could have sounded some alarms. He neither said nor implied anything about changing coaches. What sort of coach, however, spends his whole week listening to the public rumblings and then sends his football team out so mentally ill-prepared? Are the Cowboys that bad or that apathetic? The answer may be both. Watching them Sunday play the lowly Chiefs on mostly even terms, the Cowboys appeared to be a team that had hummed its way through a week of uninspired practices. On the other hand, they lack star power, especially on defense. Phillips countered, "Our rush was pretty good. If you go back to last year’s team, it pressured the quarterback pretty well. We’re getting back to that point." He said he would stress that an effort such as Sunday’s is not good enough. "That’s what we tell them," Phillips said. "You tell them that. You point out the things we need to do better, and we work on those things. Especially this week, we’re going to work hard on our 2-minute defense. We’ve got to get better in that. "And our red-zone offense, certainly we’ve got to keep working on that." But again, Phillips made no excuses for his team celebrating its overtime win. On the contrary, he said that winning in overtime — never mind the opponent — could be a catalyst that propels the Cowboys onward. "Those are things where you start trusting each other," Phillips said, "believing in each other that somebody is going to make a play. Somebody is going to come through for you. "I’d rather not have the close game, certainly. But I do think that feeling in the dressing room after the ball game brought us closer together." And there’s the problem.

If you feel compelled to start a thread about the Skins, please do so in the Stadium. Thanks in advance. Who mentioned the Skins? Oh... I just checked the NFL.com and realized the Chiefs play at Washington next week. I wasn't aware. My comments were made because I felt the Chiefs weren't as bad as their record indicated and I felt they'd give a good fight to their upcoming opponent. I can understand how I ruffled your feathers. Now, back on topic: Romo sits to pee threw for 350 yards with two TDs, including at least 2 passes dropped in the end zone. Austin had a break-thru game and I'm looking forward to him getting more playing time. Ware got a few sacks. Brookings continued to make plays - glad we signed him. And Jenkins is really coming on. I worried about a 2nd year slump for him. Scandrick hasn't really impressed though. We need better safety play. But it was good to get a win going into the bye. Go Cowboys!

"Thank you Tony for throwing two great passes." In fact, I'll take it a step further... "Thank you Miles for working hard all these years, running a great route, and running through a tackle to get two long scores." "Thank you offensive line for giving Tony protection to drop back, make his reads, and delivering those great passes." Man, it's almost like this football thing is a team sport, eh?

Thanks in advance. you started a thread about the Skins in here not too long ago, but in case you don't remember here are a couple of clues: 1) it was about Jason Campbell and his lack of turnovers and 2) it's been bumped recently.
