Poor Bill Parcells. First, he has to deal with T.O. There’s not much I can say about him that hasn’t been said more times than you or I care to read. The real irony here lies in the Gramatica / Idiot Kicker situation. Parcells went so far as to release Mike Vanderhoushmandzadeh, saying he didn’t feel confident with him at the end of the game. Nevermind that he’s the most accurate kicker in the history of professional football. Parcells didn’t feel confident. That’s fine, that’s what Parcells is there for, and Gramatica played well. Who knew that the problems in the kicking game would come from his idiot holder?

To say people were a little quick to pull out the “anointing oil” for Tony Romo is like saying that Tony Montana ended up with a little drug problem. Romo lost 4 of his last 5 games, including a home game against the Lions. Yes, the Lions. The Fighting Matt Millen’s pulled out a victory against the playoff bound Cowboys when the ‘Boys were still fighting for a division crown and a home game. Maybe the balls would have been stickier at home.

Romo also threw 2 interceptions in 3 of his last 6 games, and fumbled an incredible 4 TIMES in one of the games he didn’t. He bottled Dave Krieg and Brett Favre, took their worst elements, and managed to channel them with a concentration that hasn’t been seen since Ryan Leaf.

Of course, he looked great to Cowboys fans when he replaced the great Drew Bledsoe. The Cowboys line was something of a must’ve had a religious objection to pass protection, and Bledsoe would lose to the Pope in a 40 yard dash.

I suggest this plan of action for the Cowboys: Upgrade the O-Line in Free Agency, and the defense in the draft. Maybe get a safety who can cover, since Roy Williams can’t catch the ball, only hit it. Ditch Bledsoe, bring in Kurt Warner, and bench Romo. Usually the backup QB is the holder, but they might want to reconsider that. We’ve seen how bad the NFC on the whole is, and a healthy Warner might be good enough to push them to the top. They’ve got about 1 more season before the novelty of TO is up and Bill wants, so push hard for next year and then take your chances with the Rominator. May he bring you many 9-7 seasons.
