The 2008 Dallas Cowboys road to the Super Bowl....

Flagg

The turnover thing is starting to bother me. I mean, NO interceptions in three games?

They were able to stop TO but in doing so couldn't stop Barber and everyone else.

I don't know what to think about this game. Nice win against a good team in their home but it was kind of ugly. Another couple of bonehead plays by Romo. It was a good bad game.

PatrickBateman

well, it seems we can expect Romo to make one blunder per game, but the good news is, he seems to forget about quickly and gets it going again. Madden was all over Wittens' jock and deservedly so. That guy is incredible. TO didn't look too happy, but didn't he drop 2 as well? No big deal as he was smiling at the end of the game. Austin taking advantage of the situation and not screwing it up...very nice. Ware had a good game.....Both Jones' played well with Felix looking VERY promising.

3-0
Bring on the Skins

One thing to note about the defense. They definitely showed a new wrinkle last night as Anthony Henry has played his 1st 104 games in the NFL without a sack, but had 2 sacks last night.

Even though they can't get an interception, the defense is piling up the sacks.

We did have some easy opportunities for INTs in that one.

A needless forced pass that was an easy INT, two intentional groundings (although one was bullshit), a strange looking fumble, a bad miss to TO on the crossing route, and looking over-anxious at times.... its wasn't a very good game for Romo. He did very well most of the time and seemed to recover from his mistakes easily, but he needs to keep his head together. He's got a great team and is completely capable of playing great, as we all know. I see him on the after and before game interviews and wonder if his head is really as into this as he should be. Very possible that he just doesn't reveal very much, but I'm wondering about his confidence. Someone needs to shake him, he's got the f-ing ability, there is no reason to be intimidated.

Right about Romo. What I liked about him from the beginning was his "go out there and have some fun and win some games" Now that we KNOW what he can do, it somehow lost a little of it's cuteness. He needs to step up and be a leader

personally, I just think the thing with Romo is that he tries to do TOO much. sometimes it's better to just scramble out and throw it away or just throw it out of bounds in the general area of a receiver. no need to try this hard, just take the loss of down, it's always better than loss of yards or an interception. the coaches NEED to get that in his head.

like that flub against the Eagles.....just take the safety.

although he would been a miracle worker had he pulled it off

don't worry, his head will hardly be together after the Giants D sacks him all over the place in a few weeks

no no no the same D that pummeled Brady to the ground..Brady..a QB thats MUCH better than whoever yall got and a Patriots team thats much better than the Bengals, Rams and Cowboys all combined.

pretenders or not....we're the ones with the RINGS! DEFENDING SUPER BOWL CHAMPS!


just to remind the haters worldwide

Giants have played nothing but three sorry teams so far and struggled to beat one of them (Bengals).

Dallas beat two teams people consider to be Super Bowl contenders and only struggled against one of them - the Eagles.

1. I know. We are very familiar with that feeling from winning in the 90s. Everyone hates a winner.

2. We haven't played Pittsburgh. The two contender I meant were Philly and Green Bay.

3. On this we agree. They lose Westbrook and/or McNabb for a long time and they will be done.


Isn't it great to be in the NFC East?

oh true my bad...I had the Eagles Steelers game in mind from last night


yea, honestly the only ones I would worry about is the Cowboys cause the potential is there..it's just that they havent really convinced anyone yet, and after 3 games even you guys gotta admit...Romo HAS fucked up a bit. Let's see what happens come playoff time cause the Giants and Cowboys would prolly be the only 2 "Locks" as of right now to get in

then it remains to be seen how GB and Philly hold up thru the remainder of the season

put any pressure on this guy whatsoever and he stinks. he cannot even hold fg attemps in clutch situations.

Peter King has 'em ranked #2. I'm sure ESPN will have them in the top 3 or 4 when they release their power rankings.

Eagles are Super Bowl contenders. But as we discussed, injuries may do them in before the season is out.

We should just have an NFC East thread since most of the football fans on here are fans of NFC East teams and we all jump on each other's threads and fight it out anyway.

not at all. at 3 and 0 and looking good when it counts esp. in the clutch, we stand out already more than most teams.

fucked up a bit? romo has only had one bad game against the packers. the other 2 games he's had 100+ ratings... yeah, sure a bit. but nothiing so far to worry about. this last game... i give credit to the packers defense... neither the eagles or bengals had put enough pressure on romo as had the packers.

but i'll give you that one though... giants are the champs. regardless of what regular season stats might say about you guys or winning in close games to inferior teams they've done what the cowboys havent' been able to do as of late. i want them to show up in the playoffs... i'd personally want a cowboys - giants rematch. and would like to see the cowboys blow you guys out.
