The Game was rife with story lines, hell, Redskins v Cowboys is always big, no matter the steaks or records. But, here we had one team trying to come from a 5-7 record to make the playoffs. The other team is supposed to be one of the best in their conference, but they haven't played like it over the last month. Dallas barely beet Carolina and Detroit and lost in the Jessica Bowl to Philly. Even though T.O. didn't play, the did let Romo stay out there for an awful long time for a team that wasn't trying. In the end the Skins wiped the floor with the Cowgirls to the tune of 27-6.
One storyline that I didn't hear anyone mention was the Todd Collins v Wade Phillips story. Collins was drafted to be Jim Kelly's successor, but when Marv left town and Phillips took over he was cast asunder. After kicking around as a back up for the last decade, he finally got a chance to show Phillips what he is made of, playing a near flawless game. For his part, Romo looked positively average and the 'Boys rushed for 1 yard. One. Three feet. 91.44 centimeters. You can fall forward and gain a yard and a half.
Meanwhile the Skins D looked like 11 ballhawks, Santana Moss and Clinton "Sheriff Gonna Get Ya" Portis are playing at the top of their form. I just wish the next game wasn't in Washington State, but you have to play the ones you're dealt.
