Someone made a great comparison to the Pats of the mid 1990s, after Parcells left, when they hired a players coach in Pete Carroll. What happened afterward was a team that showed a lack of discipline, committing dumb penalties.

Larry Brown on the Cowboys postgame show made a great point. When he was playing, especially under Jimmy, they took pride in not making mistakes. To make mistakes was to jeopardize your position on the team. That doesn't seem to truly matter right now. I mean, if Wade Phillips wanted to cut a player right now, would he just be able to tell Jerry to do it and everything would be OK? I highly doubt it.

All this being said, they are still 4-2, and these next three games are all winnable. If they can bond together as a team and truly play as one, this injury could be a blessing in disguise. Or, the whole damn thing could implode. I'm sure you Redskin fans would HATE to see that happen.
Funny I saw it very differently when you guy's tied it up at the end of the game. They showed a shot of TO and Romo and they both had that smirk on their face like now we will put them away in overtime. I even had that same feeling as here they go to pull this one off but we now know "the rest rest of the story".
