For Dennis de la Pena:  Your pick the other day turned out to be the right one-the 'Boys persevered amid the chaos (below) in the game against the Eagles. Now if they can just get past the Giants and Redskins, i think they'll possibly make it to the playoffs. And yes Dennis, Romo has kept his head and his cool after the big contract-gotta love him for that.

For Mike Rosen:  I didn't catch the hit on the Texans' Staub the other day-sorry, but diehard 'Boys fan here-couldn't care less about the Texans unless Dallas ever meets them in the Super Bowl.

Mike Rosen's blog about that hit does bring me to my point about the game with the Cowboys and Eagles though. It's always tough enough to play in Philly, with the out of control fans they have up there. But, I have to say that there were two shots on the 'Boys that should have been called, and I'm sure when the league refs review the tapes, these players will be fined. The first was the hit on Julius Jones after he was already immobilized on the ground, and got hit helmet to helmet by a defender. That cheap shot, just as the announcers said, should have been an automatic ejection from the game. I was really surprised that it wasn't called. The second cheap shot came when Jason Whitten was hit helmet to helmet-the ref said no foul because he wasn't up in the air-? What? Helmet to helmet is just that-cause for a penalty, and besides the second defender on that play ripped his helmet off by pulling on part of the face gear to yank it off. I don't get these no-call refs on these two plays. Both of these hits were uncalled for and should be reviewed for fines levied against the defending players. I can't wait for week 15 when they meet up again, maybe the 'Boys can get some sweet revenge by sweeping the Eaglets. Keep it rolling, 'Boys.
