The Dallas Cowboys are 9-1 since…well a long time, I have no idea in all honesty and I am way too tired to look for the stat! Anyways, what can I say about this? More than impressed with the way we have been playing lately and picking up the win over Washington was big, although it was not the prettiest.
In my opinion Dallas first came out and was playing way too predictable with their play calls, not until a little later in the game did we really start to open things up. Terrell Owens obviously played one hell of a game, catching 4 touchdown passes in one game, the first player to do that in 4 years…until Randy Moss matched it a few hours later - in one half.
I think the overall game that we played against Washington was decent, I really do think we need to get ready for the Packers passing attack, right now with Roy Williams playing the way he is, that isn’t going to cut it. He is officially the worst pass coverage safety in the NFL, and the slowest. Players were taking advantage of him all day long, and do it every week.
I think our offense played well, our line played solid. Except for Andre Gurode’s early snap problems, although all game they seemed to be a bit high. I wonder what that guy does all week long, you would think that snapping the football is among one of the easiest jobs as a center. Our passing attack looked pretty good, T.O dominated all day long and you could really see that he wanted this win and wanted to play a large role in it…and he did, Every touchdown! I really want to see our rushing attack step up in the future weeks, Barber and Jones aren’t doing nearly as well as they were the first few weeks of the season, and with our passing attack going the way it is right now you would think things would be more opened up.
Go Cowboys!

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!

Oh wow, what a game that was! It started off pretty slow and more defensive, the offense sucked for both teams the first half. They Cowboys won big and came out after half time and put up a lot of points. I went to the game and had a good time, the seats were incredible, directly on the 50 lower level, thanks again Adam!
I am excited about the game this upcoming week against Buffalo, hopefully we blow them out. I know it is two weeks away, but I can not help to look at the Patriots game here in Dallas. That is going to be one hell of a game. I plan to actually write my only “serious” post and try to Digg it on the game, I want to do a preview on it so hopefully it will work and drive a few more football fans here.
Anyways, Romo played great, everyone played well. What I was not too impressed with was our running game, we never could get much going really. Owens had a solid game but couldn’t do too much. How about Crayton? That was a great performance…he really racked up some points in fantasy this week, too bad he was on the bench.
I can only imagine how powerful and diverse our offense is going to be once Glenn gets back on the field, that is going to be a real show to watch. We are so dangerous right now, teams will be running around in circles wondering what the hell hit them because we will be attacking from every direction once Glenn gets back.

Well, 3 weeks has gone by and the Cowboys are 3-0 and on top of the NFC, in my opinion on top of the NFL. We came out strong and looked good last week against the Bears, pretty much we were faster, in better shape, smarter, quicker, and plain out out played them in every aspect of the game. Although they did have some key injuries we really took advantage of that and started to run the ball. Marion Barber had another awesome game, it looked like to me he earned some respect from the monster Urlacher and a few of the other Bears defensive players. Romo had another solid game, I really want to get him on my fantasy team but I am not thinking it will happen. Owens plain out dominated, although he did not get him a touchdown he wore out the Bears defense and really opened things up for our running backs.
Going To the Cowboy Game
This week is going to be great, we play the Rams at 12:00 and I got tickets to the game! Woohoo! I am going to the game. I am so pumped. I will take some pictures and post them up. Thanks a lot Adam, your the man!
Go Cowboys

Thats right! The first time since 1999 the Dallas Cowboys are off to a 2-0 start. I must say I am quite pleased with our offense, everything on that side of the ball seems to be going smooth. I can only imagine when/if we get Terry Glenn back this year how much more powerful we will be. Our running game seems to be going well, thanks to Marion Barber contributing a lot more than Julius Jones. I really would like for him to start, but I completely understand why Phillips doesn’t want to do that.
The main thing I am concerned about with the Cowboys is…yes you guessed it, our Defense. Our crappy does it look right now at times? Every time I watch Roy Williams screw up play after play I start to hate him playing safety. They really should try and work him in as a LB. He is way to slow and seems out of it at times when he is reacting to pass plays. After all, Roy Williams did get noticed and “famous” by making a play at the line of scrimmage against Texas (you all should remember the play).
This week we play the Bears and it is their home opener, look for the Cowboys to run it early Julius popped 150 yards on them a few years back. If our offense keeps up and puts up big points against the Bears this week, look for us to move to #2 or #1 on the power rankings. Man that will be a great feeling…I have been waiting forever.
Well, off to bed.
Take it easy,
