First and foremost, about the 49ers – Giants game and something I wrote last week: 

‘…after I watched Alex Smith’s play against the New Orleans Saints, I might be done laughing.  It’s like the Wizard of Oz (in this case, Head Coach Jim Harbaugh) gave the Cowardly Lion (yes, Alex Smith) the courage he’d been missing the last 6 years.  A first round QB with confidence and courage befitting the first over all pick and a hard hitting (they punctured Romo’s lung) aggressive Defense and we better all watch out for Alex Smith and the San Francisco 49ers!’

Boy, was I wrong! - Not about the 49ers D, but the same old Alex Smith came back with a vengeance!  In the Giants case, I was right about what happens when a team gets on a roll.  Much to my annoyance, Eli Manning (not Alex Smith) played.. well.. with courage and confidence befitting the first over all pick.  Now the insult to injury of watching Eli play in his second Superbowl before Tony Romo plays in one. 

Now that I got that out of the way, I can talk about the Cowboys again. (more…)
