I thought I'd talk about the Cowboy season like that feller Smith used to.
Watching the game last night I saw a lot of issues from the past that never seem to go away. Turnovers and lack of discipline.

They didn't find a solid replacement for Murray at running back, and the defense has some holes in it, but the line is solid and they did win. Romo is at the end of his career, will he finally get a ring?

Feel free to chime in.

That was a helluva game. That winning drive could very well have been Romo's best moment in football. You may want to save that ring talk til later in the season though. LMAO

After last season it's appropriate to discuss the possibility of a Superbowl.
I don't know that this group of coaches , along with the owner are capable of making it happen, but the core of the team is good enough to do it.

As far as i could see...the issues seemed to revolve around the receivers not holding on to the ball....Tyrone Williams has game-breaking potential but can't seem to be consistent....2nd year man Devin Street is gonna have to step it up now that Dez is out...now we get to see what he can do with 1st team reps....plus it might not be a bad thing to develop receiver depth for the long run....not worried about the running game...i think we can have a committee backfield....IMO, McFadden looked better but he will eventually be worked in more...kinda like when Garrett started as coordinator...he would utilize Julius Jones early on and finish off with Barber to punish...needless to say we have acquired Christine Michael who may have the most potential of the bunch....once he learns the offense...so i think our running game will be solid, we just have to commit to it...i'm loving the D....i think our biggest loss right now is not Dez but Randy Gregory...he's a stud and an impact player...we have a solid D, if the secondary can hold their water...that's where the pass rush comes in.....and i've never had a doubt about Romo, so...will be interesting how things go this year....coacing staff is great, we'll see

Well, the Boys are 2-0, both division wins. Romo and Dez are both out, but I feel like they can get some wins even in that situation.
Murray has about 11 yards total for the Eagles this season, and was really missing his line from the Cowboys.

I'm not a Romo hater, but I just hope his first game back is not a playoff game. I remember the last time he rushed back in this type of situation; it didn't end well.

Coaching staff sticking to 'next man up' approach..Boyz just picked up Matt Cassel as backup...if they can hold their water and remin competitive until Romo is functional, Garrett may be up for coach of the year...but first things first...on to ATL

Glentz · 09-23-2015, 11:08 PM

Have never been a big fan of Brandon weeden, I felt alot safer when we had Orton as the backup...look for Cassel to eventually get the nod.if they can be at .500 till Romo comes back we'll be ok. Big if

Roy D Mercer · 09-28-2015, 06:46 AM

Well that got ugly yesterday. They had a great start and a terrible finish.

djsps · 09-29-2015, 04:05 PM

That letdown sucked balls. You have to imagine ATL was gonna adjust to the dink and dunk passing game the boys had going on...and since we did not challenge their secondary, it was easy for them to recover....A little disappointed the defense couldn't adjust....28 points should be enough to win a game, so the D is gonna have to step it up...especially if Drew Brees is healthy enough to play next week and New England around the corner. Them boyz have to maintain their intensity.

Let's just do it the hard way: lose 5 more, then go on a winning streak into the playoffs.

It looks like they may take your advice.

I have come to a surprising conclusion:

Brandon Weeden sucks!

NiceGuy53 · 10-05-2015, 04:01 PM

The Cowboys have a lot more problems than just Brandon Weeden right now. Their defense has been pretty much non-existent the second half of their last 2 games. And their injuries continue to pile up. They are in deep shit right now with some tough teams like New England, New York and Seattle coming up.

I have it good authority that all this is Jerry Jones's fault. Lol
