On the plus side the running game and defense is looking solid. On the down romo has deffintly lost a step.

i'm really, really happy with the way the team is fighting right now, but i'm also reminded of parcells' classic line...
"don't eat the cheese." if they keep scratching and clawing like underdogs, this could turn into a surprisingly good season. if they start thinking they've arrived, it's going to get grim in a hurry. especially with that brutal stretch of away games late in the year.

I am very happy with the O line play, and as long as Romo has some help he will be a very efficient QB and they will be in most games this year.

I read today that Murray had never carried the ball more than 217 times in a season. Through 4 games he's carried it 99. That's a huge difference and, if they don't panic like they did against the 49er's and go one-dimensional, this team has promise. They need to stop having injuries on the defensive side of the ball. And not start on the offensive side.

I'm getting excited about the cowboys. I thought this was going to be a 8-8 year at best, but if we can keep Murray and the o-line healthy we'll win the NFC east and wind up int the playoffs.
I don't think we can get very far with our defense, but it would be nice to have a decent season and still shore up the defense in next year's draft. Should be a fun season to watch.

I seriously doubt it. I think the Cowboys have the skill, but the coaches and QB aren't good enough to consistently get wins. You never know what team is going to show up. And then there is the owner meddling. It isn't impossible, but I seriously doubt it. |

We never held hands in the huddle but we did go to the line in unison. I played in the early to mid '70s- think wishbone offense. We never did the Cowboys shift either. I remember they were the only team that did that and for years every other team in the NFL bitched about it- mainly because they would jump offsides because of it. |

IMO the secondary is going to be exposed because of a lack of NFL level talent and almost no pressure on the QB. So far the LB play has been decent, and their offense has not put them in too many bad positions other than the SF game. And when I say exposed, by that I mean they will lose against the better passing teams in the league. |
