Arya welcome all the mocking by Dallas fan
 

Great game, but now I'm open for the mocking.

giants suck. dallas sucks more.

they both will finish 6-10

wow yeah so Dallas really sucks.....NY must have thrown that game

Hi, my name is Andi, and I am a long-frustrated Dallas Cowboys fan (...said in support group manner & *ducking flames* from GC Cowboy Haters) I wanted to destroy my television last night during the second half & went to bed before it was over. The DH didn't though, and he was happy to rewind the TIVO so I could see the kick.

Yes, the Cowboys have sucked for some time. They will not be going to the Super Bowl, but it was an exciting game! Go 'Boys!

To you nay sayers:

:p
Beeeeeeeeeeoooooocccchhhh!

GO COWBOYS!

Is it true that they're going to cover up the hole in the dome at Texas Stadium because God doesn't care to watch anymore.

(Old joke for any of you who are "mature" enough to remember the rest)

YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH BOY!!!!

Who's your daddy now?

theres no more naysayers now. The boys are 4-1 in a weak division. I can't believe Parcells can take any team he wants and make them good.

I dunno about all the Cowboy hoopla.

Among their remaining games they've still got to play TB, the hated 'Skins twice, AT Philly, Carolina, Miami and AT New England.

Out of that bunch, they MAY beat the 'Skins once, Carolina and the Pats. MAYBE. It pains me to say that, as i HATE the Skins and i HATE Spurrier. They have not truly dominated anyone and let's not forget they lost to the woeful Falcons.

Yeah, they're 4-1, but they're a botched squib kick and onside kick-return for a TD away from 2-3. Parcells still has his work cut out for him.

My Texans and Broncos on the other hand.........<sigh> long season all around.

Kitso
KS 361 times Shanahan needs to draft a QB this year, who's good that's coming out? Philip Rivers?

I hope your right about Dallas but Parcells is a genius and somehow manages to get the job done.

It's been an up and down season....
 

mostly up but

Win over Giants sends 'Boys to PLAYOFFS

NFL.com wire reports

IRVING, Texas (Dec. 21, 2003) -- The first time Bill Parcells spoke to the Dallas Cowboys, he told them to "get your expectations up."

After the Cowboys beat the New York Giants 19-3 on Sunday, culminating a rise from four straight non-winning seasons to making the playoffs, Parcells repeated his original message.

"That's where mine are," he said. "So get them up."

Behind an efficient game from Quincy Carter and another big performance against the Giants by kicker Billy Cundiff, Dallas (10-5) earned its first spot in "the tournament" -- as Parcells calls it -- since 1999 and handed New York (4-11) its seventh straight loss.

Where the Cowboys fit into the postseason bracket isn't determined. They could still win the division, trailing Philadelphia by one game, but would hold the tiebreaker if both finish 11-5.

"It feels good to know we're in the playoffs, but we've still got to get better," safety Darren Woodson said. "The hottest team in December usually wins it, so we're trying to get better."

Parcells has turned three previous losing franchises into championship-caliber. But this is the first time he's made the playoffs in his first season. The 10 wins in his debut year is another first, and it's the most for Dallas since 1998.

The timing was nice, too. On the first anniversary of the day Cowboys owner Jerry Jones admitted he'd talked to Parcells, they celebrated the 27th -- and probably most surprising -- playoff berth in team history.

"This season is beyond expectations," Jones said. "You have to give credit to coach Parcells."

While Parcells will gripe about mistakes such as silly penalties on Andre Gurode and Ebenezer Ekuban, players he's demoted in recent weeks, he has to love the momentum Dallas is building.

Since giving up 76 points in consecutive losses to Miami and Philadelphia, the Cowboys have allowed just three points in two games, albeit against bad teams. Next up is New Orleans, which was eliminated from the playoffs Sunday, giving the Cowboys another chance to try getting sharp.

"This league is such that if you get things going, get the right pieces at the right time and get a couple of breaks, you can make some advancement," Parcells said. "But I didn't come here just to do that."

The Giants are hoping a new coach will provide them the same kind of turnaround. On Sunday, though, they still had to play the second-to-last game under Jim Fassel, who was told Wednesday he won't be back next season.

New York broke a streak of six straight games with just one touchdown, although not the way it would've liked. In matching their longest losing streak since 1994, the Giants hit a season-low with three points.

"I don't care what the circumstances are or where in the season we are," Fassel said. "We have to get better."

Quarterback Jesse Palmer, making his second career start, was 18 of 32 for 190 yards and was sacked five times. About the only highlight for New York was three sacks by Michael Strahan, who has 17 this season.

Carter was 17 of 25 for 240 yards with one touchdown, no interceptions and no fumbles. After opening the game with a 64-yard pass to Joey Galloway, he avoided the impulsive decisions that often land him in Parcells' doghouse.

In the final minute, he and Richie Anderson dumped ice water on the coach. Then Carter savored joining the fraternity of quarterbacks who've taken the Cowboys to the playoffs.

"You think about Staubach and Meredith and Aikman," Carter said. "It's an honor."

Although the injury-ravaged Giants seemed to be playing out their schedule, Parcells warned his players not to take them for granted. He threatened that anyone not hustling wouldn't be back next season.

The big opening play yielded only a 24-yard field goal, which New York answered. A 36-yard pass to Jason Witten midway through the first quarter put the Cowboys ahead for good.

Cundiff did the rest by making kicks of 21, 42 and 49 yards. It was his most field goals since tying an NFL record with seven against New York in September.

NOTES: Carter became the first Dallas QB to throw for more than 3,000 yards since Troy Aikman in 1997, his fourth-to-last season. ... New York goes into its finale trying to avoid its longest losing streak since 1980 and most losses since '83, Parcells' first season. ... The Cowboys became the final team to have a touchback on one of their kickoffs. It came on Toby Gowin's 60th attempt and was aided by a 5-yard penalty.

Interesting. We'll see how the cowboys do in the NFC Playoffs.
