I was hopeing for a big blowout statement game for the cowboys but what I got was a hard fought, confidence building up the gut win. MB3 was a beast all day, putting the nail in the coffin on a 4th and 2 with under two minutes to play. Give Cudo's to wade for makeing the call when they could have kicked a field goal and went up by seven. That call and play very well could be the defining moment of the cowboys season. This is a momentum builder brothers and sisters. We got a little lucky on certain non calls, but we have more than unlucky all year, so I'll take it. Tnew had a big day. I still hate how the defense ALWAYS leaves the center of the field open, but still they only gave up 7 pts, including a BIG break up on a 4th and 4. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My favorite part of the game was the final drive, controling the line of scrimage jamming the ball down their throats and getting the win. BIG BIG WIN! Prossman

;D Well, the team walked on down their journey, but picked up another win. Similar to the game against Pewter Bay, the defense was seen in the game. The injury status paid a big part of this game, and the lack of real deep receiver dangers might have given this defense enough to work with. Ratliff got some good pressure and two sacks by your nose tackle has to be sweet. The team still gives opponents way too many chances on each and every first down series down the field. I guess that there were about equal numbers of missed or dropped passes by both teams. Marion Barber left yardage on the field, but was very important to this win. Felix Jones will greatly help, as he might have scored on a couple of plays that Barber carried the ball tonight. Romo will continue to improve again, and I really liked what Roy Williams brings to the receiver group. He is pretty explosive and will break a couple before the season is over. I tell you, I would work the special team's players until their tongues would NOT go back into their mouths... and Martellus Bennett was some second round choice, huh.

Thats what concerns me the most , special teams. As focused as the fan base has been on getting back our key components healthy, ST's has been a concern all season long. Just simply can not keep giving teams optimum field position after every kick off, and the coverage/tackling is just down right pathetic. Lets hope it doesn't turn out to be the Achilles heel. PS... I see everyone is liking their new smilies.... hang tight, more to come.... dang smilies, pain in my @@@.

Failure is a part of each and every football game. Football is a game of extreme magnitudes that at best, are managed....keep your great Cowboy heart, and share it with us all. This season is far from over, and the Cowboys are all of our shared element. This was a nice win, and in it's own way, as dramatic as the Buffalo game was last year. Part of a winning season!!

This bye week seemed to last 2 months vs two weeks. I didn't think it was ever going to end. Thank God the boys stepped up their game when they really need it. Prossman
