Romo didn't have a real good game against the Giants, but he still made the plays he needed to make. Mark of a good QB and I'm tickled pink about it.
Cowboys look good, no doubt. I've been sayin' for 2 years that the only piece of the puzzle they were missing was the QB and I've been screaming from the mountaintop from day 1 of this season that Romo needed to be starting. When Parcells finally benched Dreadsoe, the final piece was in place and they are indeed playing like a Super Bowl team. Can I get a "hell yeah!"
And someone tell Parcells that I should be on his payroll as an advisor.
Bears are a first round loss, no doubt about it. Smith is a good coach, but he stated last night that he's keeping Grossman in. This is a guy that threw 3 interceptions and for a total of 34 yards against Minnesota. Minnesota's offense is utterly inept and the only way the Bears won that game is because their offense was worse than the Bears. You've got a pro-bowler in Griese on the bench and Grossman starting...makes zero sense. They have 4 easy games left and will probably roll, even with Grossman starting. But the first round playoff will be against a good team and with Grossman starting, they will have no chance of winning. Plus, if you do decide to go with Griese down the line, every game you wait gives him less time to get comfortable back there again. Which is fine with me, since I am a die-hard Dallas fan.
As far as the AFC goes, Bengals have the hot hand now, I think. Sure, they are in a must win situation, but they are playing solid now, especially the Defense. The Chargers are red-hot, too, but I'm wondering how Rivers is going to handle the playoff atmosphere. I don't think the Ravens have the offense to carry them through the playoffs and the Colts are back to fading down the stretch.
Super Bowl matchup? Cowboys vs. Bengals.
