The loss had nothing to do with T.O.

The story was the same story as last year and every other year since Aikman retired- Big D needs a big arm rather than a tired, old noodle about to be put out to pasture. Bledsoe, Vinny, WHOEVER is not going to get it done consistently no matter how good the rest of the team is while turning the ball over three times as often as he passes for TDs. The lame pass protection was exacerbated by the fact that Bledsoe's turnovers kept putting the D back on the field in bad field position. Julius's 100 yard game and the Cowboys ability to move the ball and control the clock get thrown out the window when you cough up the pigskin like a cat does a furball.

The Cowboys are the better team, though, and the game reiterated it in my mind despite the loss. It took all those turnovers and defensive TDs to beat the Cowboys at home on the last play of the game- on TO's return- in a game they HAD to win following the Giants-game collapse. The 'boys will stomp a mudhole in the Eagles when they visit Texas Stadium on Christmas Day.
