    anyways... i'm still a little more scared about the giants running game... especially seeing the way steven jackson played against them... with 3 running backs that the giants have they're pretty scary. eli manning... not so much.

    a lot of Eli's success comes off play-action calls. in order to be successful at play-action, you gotta have a good running game. I myself still don't know exactly how good Eli is, because the running game is such a threat. Eli has had moments of greatness though, just look at the playoffs last year and the game-winning drive in the Super Bowl, that was fantastic.

    the Cowboys Defense has been overrated from the beginning of last year. you want to know why Clinton Portis was the only back to run for over 100 yards against us? because our offense put up so many points that opposing teams HAD TO THROW against us. so basically, our offense was our best defense but I think that if our offense can simply do more than go 3 and out or turn it over, our D is one of the best around . now with Tony Romo, Kyle Kosier and (hopefully) Felix Jones coming back on offense, I expect better results. and Terence Newman coming back on D is great too.

    Clinton Portis is active tonight. Jason Taylor is also active, but not starting.

    does anyone know what the hell a tie means for the Eagles and where they stand in the division? football should not end in ties.

    Big win. Nice to see Romo back. I think that first INT was because of his hand hurting. Otherwise, welcome back. You can tell the team plays better with him there.

    MBIII carried it for Dallas last night with an Emmitt-like performance in the 4th quarter.

    Terrence Newman had one of the best games I have seen him play, shutting down Cowboy-killer Santana Moss.

    Defense hit Jason Campbell hard and pressured him all night.

    Now, if they could only do something about the penalties and special teams play. It should have been a bigger spread but penalties killed us here and there.

    yes. and a 100% portis would have been trouble. romo had some very errant throws last night...hopefully that finger continues healing. and TO needs to catch more passes for longer than 2 yds...good way for him to get injured.

    Nice!
    They really needed this win, obviously.
    Team looked much better, although someone should tell Flo that penalties are bad.
    Romo looks like he back to being Romo....interception-yes (1 wasn't his fault), couple bad passes-yes.....Shovel pass- yes!, making something out of nothing-yes!, Smiling-yes!, no sack-yes! (thanks to Kozier).
    Ratliff was nasty, Witten is back, Newman played well with an int,Bennett with one hell of a catch, Austin made some key plays, Barber was a beast
    Once F.Jones comes back they should be even better.

    They just need to play every game like it could be their last and not take teams for granted. I think it's possible to go 12-4 although 11-5 seems more realistic as I doubt the Giants are going to lay down even if the game doesn't matter
    If a man speaks in a forest and there is no woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?

    i'm willing to bet the cowboys will beat the giants bigtime... will probably be a blowout.... it's the playoffs where the giants will kick the cowboys ass again... unfortunately.

    That will happen when your team doesn't know the rules of the game.

    The 'Niners are no push over, I see another tough game coming.

    haha, tie games. WTF. I knew they existed in the NFL (you too McNabb, right?) but I still think it's crap. a tie is like kissing your sister.

    anywaysssssss

    Cowboys got 49ers this week, it's time for Tony to get into a rhythm now with all his receivers and backs. let's start getting some MO for a playoff run. it started Sunday and needs to continue. I'm pumped.

    I guess Patrick Crayton is the #4 receiver now. Did he even have a catch?

    I trust Miles Austin more.

    They are roasting McNabb & Reid on the radio the past two days around here. Even my g/f who barely watches football knew the game was finished after the OT, granted I do think they should have a better system, but not the NCAA one, but c'mon, a 10-11yr veteran in the league doesn't know there is only one overtime then tries to turn the blame on the NFL by his comment about "hate to see what happens in the playoffs or the Super Bowl".

    Anyway....just got done booking my flight and everything else for my trip down for the last game in Texas Stadium.....not looking like they will get a home playoff game..LOL....can't wait go.

    Well never fucking mind because Miles Austin is now out 2-4 weeks with a sprained knee ligament. This offense has not played one game with everyone healthy!

    I am trying to get tickets for the 49ers game and take my 10 year old. Probably the last time I see a live Cowboys game because I won't be able to afford to step foot in the new stadium.

    I know. And as far as the Eagles go, welcome to the Cowboys circa 1999-2000. End of an era, on the downhill side, and time to rebuild. It sucks.

    Dammit!!!!!, Felix Jones out for season



    The Cowboys’ worst fears about Felix Jones’ toe injury have been confirmed: The dynamic rookie running back will undergo surgery to repair a torn ligament beneath his left big toe and will miss the remainder of the season.


    Jones suffered the injury while rehabbing his partially-torn hamstring. He went through light individual drills in practice Wednesday while the team tried to determine his physical limitations.


    Additional tests taken Monday were evaluated this morning by Dr. Robert Anderson, a foot and ankle specialist based in Charlotte. The Cowboys’ medical staff, with input from Dr. Anderson, decided surgery was the best option for Jones’ long-term health.


    Much more to come.
