After watching the Dallas Cowboys play like the Miami Dolphins yesterday in a 10-6 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, I have come to a couple of conclusions regarding Jerry Jones boys in the Lone Star state.

First, I would like to have whatever every NFL analyst had for breakfast Sunday morning as the majority of the experts picked Tony Romo as the third best quarterback in the league, behind only Tom Brady and Peyton Manning.

The three top Sunday morning NFL pre-game shows all must’ve ate at the same buffet. The buffet had to be prepared in Texas with a lot of illegal substances cooked into the food. That is the only way to explain how these analyst’s could possible say that Romo is a better quarterback than Green Bay’s, Brett Favre.

Romo looked absolutely dumbfounded as the Eagles turned up the pressure in the second half yesterday. The Eagles wore down that mammoth offensive line of the Cowboys and Romo was seen laying more on his back the second half than standing up in the pocket and delivering a strike downfield.

Romo finished 13-of-36 for 214 yards, with a career-low rating of 22.2. It came in front of his parents and his newest A-list girlfriend — Jessica Simpson, who tugged the front of her pink No. 9 jersey, then mouthed the word “Romo!” when cameras spotted her. For what it’s worth, Romo’s previous worst rating came last December against Philadelphia when then-girlfriend Carrie Underwood was here.

Hopefully Romo learned a couple of things from yesterday’s debacle at Texas Stadium. The only thing Romo can do at this point of his career is hold Favre’s jockstrap, not play like him. Also, Romo needs to keep his girlfriends away from Texas Stadium, especially against the Eagles. 

The second conclusion I came to watching the Eagles and Cowboys is that Dallas is no longer the best team in the NFC.  That distinction belongs to the Green and Gold who play their home games at historic Lambeau Field. The Packers are led right now statistically by the best quarterback ever to play the game. If Favre and company can somehow get home-field advantage in the NFC, its lights out for the rest of the conference.

The Packers are a long shot to get home field on the Cowboys but they have a little bit easier schedule the last two weeks of the season. Dallas is on the road the last two weeks. The Cowboys visit Carolina (6-8) and Washington (7-7) to end the season. Green Bay meanwhile travel to Chicago (5-8) to take on the Bears next weekend and then they finish up at home on December 30th against the hapless Lions.

Is the long NFL season finally catching up with the Cowboys? They should’ve lost last week in Detroit and they looked pathetic yesterday when they had a chance to take firm control of the NFC.

If the Packers can win at Soldier Field next Sunday against the Bears, the Cowboys are in a world of hurt. Dallas will lose one of their last two games and that means that the Cowboys would be relying on the Lions to upset the Packers on the last day of the season. Fat chance.

My NFL dream might finally come true after 31 years. My two favorite teams meeting in the Super Bowl. It could be a reality. Only time will tell if Super Bowl XLII matched the Indianapolis Colts against the Green Bay Packers.
