And you can count on the fingers of one hand how many times I'll say that. I couldn't really pick a winner, since the only two teams I still care about were playing each other, but that last TD pass was running up the score, plain and simple. You're up by 24 points, the Cowboys have only managed ONE FIELD GOAL in the whole game and you've got the ball at their 20 with <5:00 in the game. Since points don't carry over to next week, there's not a helluva lot of difference between 27-3 and 34-3, except the latter removes any shred of dignity the Cowboys retained. Twenty yard TD pass; what if it's picked off, run back for a TD, onside kick recovery and another TD? Suddenly it's a 7 point game again. What if Jay Ratliff (who's had a great year at NT; two seasons ago I was sure he was hopeless) sacks Favre and breaks his arm? Run it up the gut (with your third string back) and kick your stupid field goal.

That said, I'm down to my last team: Go, Vikings! I'm rooting for Favre; htf did this happen?!!! I just hope they run away with the next two games, because I know what Favre does when the game's tight and he has the ball.

Also, I truly hate the sound of Phil Simms' voice. And I'm obliged to say: IMHO, Romo never choked as I kept expecting, not even at the end; his team just got outplayed. They hung in there, but by the fourth quarter the D was tired and the offense was running out of time, and that's when the Vikes sealed the deal.

Finally: If the Jets hold on to win this, Wade Phillips may not be the only ex-Cowboys coach looking for a job Monday (just the only one with a winning career record. )

EDIT: Oh, and remember who gave Indy their first loss? Personally, I expect the Colts to make that their battle cry this week. Great, now Jim Nantz is quoting me five minutes later; good to know there's someone to replace Madden.
