For those who did not watch the Pro Bowl this year, the AFC beat the NFC – 59 to 41.  Whatever.  Some played like it was a regular season game, though most did tone it down quite a bit.  Boring.  It was fun to see all the best players of 2011 get together.  After all, its all about the stars of the game, right?  I guess.

Do I sound less than thrilled?  A little cynical maybe?  Well, as a Cowboys fan, I think I have a right to be.  To begin with, only two Cowboys players went to Hawaii, least since 2002.   I thought we were loaded with talent?  Only Cowboys fans still think that, but regardless, to only pick 2 – why these two – .  I also find it ironic that those two, DeMarcus Ware and Jay Ratliff, were not only not as dominant in 2011 as in past years, but also came from the weakest of the three parts of the Dallas Cowboys in 2011, the Defense.  If the Pro Bowl were to represent the best players on each team from 2011, then for Dallas they would come from the Offense.

I still can’t believe that there won’t be another Dallas Cowboys game until August. What are we going to do with ourselves without seeing the star in action every weekend? Actually, if you think about it, fellow fans, did the Cowboys really play like a playoff team with any consistency (that Buffalo blowout being offset by the Philadelphia blowout)? Although the offensive line showed signs of real promise, they really were never better than mediocre. The old adage is “you are what your record says you are.” The 2011 Dallas Cowboys were an average team. (more…)
