They Are What I Feared They Were (Dallas Cowboy Update)

Ugh. I thought I had seen the ugliest of the ugly in terms of football in last night's Sooner game. 12 penalties for 150+ yards. TO drops a sure touchdown catch. A blocked FG. Add it all up and you've got yourself one ugly ball game and one the Cowboy's deserved to lose. On the bright side, well, it's still a pretty fresh wound so let's call it a hazy side, Tony Romo played excellent again today. 2 TD passes and what would have certainly been a 3rd was dropped by the self-titled best wideout in the game. That was the stomach puncher. Romo made some great throws to get the 'Boys in postion at the end of the game, and then our line must not have realized the importance of the kick and didn't block anyone. That or they thought going into overtime garnered them some overtime pay. Either way, they didn't block and the 'Skins did. Good play by Springs to not just sit on the ball and go to OT working his way downfield and then tacking on 15 yards from someone trying to tackle him by his face mask. Tough loss for the 'Boys. Will try and get it together next Sunday against the overrated Matt Leinart and the Cardinals.

Thoughts

1. Is it me, or is Roy Williams severly overrated as a safety? He is constantly out of postion on
deep throws. He needs to move to line backer and play the run or cover the TE's but relying
on him to help on the deep patterns is killing the Cowboys.

2. Is the Tuna Cooked? He looks disinterested on the sideline. After 12 penalties, I would like
to see him PISSED OFF!! That many penalties, and it comes down to coaching. Hate to say
it, he is one of the best coaches of my time, but it's time for him to get his analyst job back at
ESPN.

3. The win one, lose one pattern continues. The true trademark of an average run of the mill
NFL team. Painful because this team has the talent to be very good. But if they are going
to continue to drop wide open passes and commit stupid penalties, they will remain average.

Not sure where they go from here. Losing to a team that lost badly to Vince Young and the Titans does not make for a playoff caliber team. Luckily, a 4-4 record means they are not out of it yet, but they HAVE to find a way to beat teams that the talent level is at the same or just a little better than theirs. Could have been a confidence booster to win today, but they will try and start another winning streak next week.
