First off let me start this off by saying I do not think the game was as bad as the score was. Overall I think the Cowboys did play a pretty solid game against the best team in the NFL. I must say the Cowboys beat themselves up in todays game, having 12 penalties for just under 100 yards is ridiculous, it is time for Phillips to really get the team more focused and not have them dig themselves a trench. I think there were two or three times when the Cowboys jumped offsides on 3rd down causing an automatic 1st down, that is just not acceptable especially being at home.

Tom Brady stole the show, set a personal record (throwing 5 TDs in one game) and picked apart the Cowboys defense all day long. Jerry Jones brought Phillips here for Defensive reasons and today he could not slow down the Patriots at all. Our run defense played well, but that didn’t matter at all our secondary seemed crippled all day long. Roy Williams really needs to step it up, in my opinion I would like to see Keith Davis or someone else worked in to the mix whenever we know the other team has a high powered passing attack, Roy Williams can not play the pass at all this year.

As far as Tony Romo, I think he did play a pretty solid game against a great Defense. Although he did throw a sloppy interception late in the game, he played well. We had a lot of holding calls that played a role in the game, I really wish we would stop making such lousy mistakes. I really would have liked to see Julius Jones mixed in to the game a bit more tonight, whenever he did touch the ball he seemed to do pretty well. I thought that he would be an X factor in todays game and maybe he would have done a bit more if he was mixed in, and maybe it would have opened up the field more for Romo. What we really need is a deep threat, and hopefully here in the next few weeks we will get some good news about Terry Glenn coming back and that could really spark things up.

The Patriots played a good game, they are the best team in the NFL right now. The Cowboys got a taste of what the need to get ready for, because if we do make it to the big game I expect to see Tom Brady and the Patriots again and if we play like we did today it will be another blow out. That is looking way too far ahead, this is just week 6. After all we still have 10 weeks to go.

Hats off to Brady and the Pats, they were brilliant all around.

Go Cowboys!
