Let me give you a nice article to read Flacolaco:

Here you go!

A few choice excerpts:

1) "We won this game because of the defense," Romo said after the Cowboys inched even further into the thick of the NFC playoff race, now standing 6-4 and knowing for sure that only two teams in the NFC have a better record than they do, and there could possibly be only one by the time they return here on Thanksgiving to meet Tampa Bay. "You can't write enough about them."

2) Do you realize no team has held the Colts to fewer than the 14 points they scored Sunday all season and only once now in their last 23 games? Do you realize these 14 points were the fewest the Colts have scored in the past five games?

3) Do you realize the Colts' four turnovers on Sunday - two lost fumbles, two Manning interceptions - were twice as many as they had suffered in any of their nine games this year and the most in their last 26 regular-season games?

4) Do you realize no team has intercepted Manning more than twice in his last 30 regular-season games, and at that, this was only the third time?

5) Or course, there was the old vet, Aaron Glenn tipping that slant pass Burnett intercepted, who then looked like his old running back self, returning the ball 39 yards to knot this game at seven, the Cowboys' second interception return for a touchdown this season and the first pick returned against Manning since 2003. There was the Bradie James strip of Marvin Harrison, his first fumble in his last 226 receptions. There was James' fumble recovery after Manning was hit from behind by Jay Ratliff. And there was Roy Williams' pick at the Dallas 1 to save a TD when tight end Dallas Clark fell to his knees at the 2.

6) Count it up. The Cowboys allowed the Colts - the Colts, I'm telling you - to score only once in three trips inside the red zone. They allowed the league's No. 2 offense to score on only one of two goal-to-go possessions. The Cowboys' defense held the league's No. 2 passing offense and the top-rated quarterback to 26:18 possession time. That's defense, now. "That's the best offensive team we've played against," Cowboys head coach Bill Parcells said when asked if this was his team's best defensive effort of the season. "So I would say yeah."

Yeah, TERRIBLE DEFENSE!

You are just pissed because the Stars have been sucking lately. Don't take it out on the Cowboys though!
