Seriously, I can't stand the Cowboys, but $1300 is $1300.

You're right Steve. I hit record on the dvr before I went to bed. No way I could sleep.

I ended up getting out of bed and wtched the ending with no commercials.

It was a great game. Too bad someone had too loose...........Not really


Cheeseheads are next!!

That's right Matt - i'm just trying to get on your nerves in this thread. >>




I actually like Westbrook. Great player, nice dude.

We had cheesesteaks together last year.

We will be having them again in January when we're both sitting on my couch watching the superbowl

The better team of course

The Eagles are the better team. The Boyz got lucky last night. And to think the Seahawks have to play them both!

Unless the Cowboys can find a way to consistently pressure opposing QB's, I believe we Dallas fans are in for another disappointing season. How many times did the Eagles face 2nd- and 3rd-and-long and end up with an easy conversion? I would love to see them scrap the 3-4 and go back to a 4-3 with Johnson and Ratliff providing a steady push up the middle. This could tie up the o-line enough to allow greater opportunities for the likes of Ware and Ellis. We could also benefit from more creative blitzes now and then.

We haven't had a consistent pass rush since the days of Tolbert and Haley, and haven't won a playoff game since then, either.

It's not realistic to expect the offense to shoulder the load each week. As good as they are, they aren't going to play mistake-free and simply outscore their opponents every game. Romo is sensational, but he is inclined to committ one or two turnovers (at least) per game. The defense has to get more stops and an occasional turnover to set up the offense once in a while.

There is a ton of talent on defense, but the scheme stinks. It's basically a low pressure/soft coverage combo that makes life easy for opposing passing attacks. They have the athletes in the secondary to play tighter coverage, and enough strength and speed in the front seven to bring more heat. Our defense is, in a word, soft.
