i'm looking for team play...
i’d like to see the o-line run the sh*t out of the ball…….and do it well…….and the d-line get good push……
I don't need a compass to know which way the wind shines....

Special teams put the Defense
in a hole but they had a good stand,good pressure on the QB and held them to a FG

if Felix is the KR
he runs it back.

I hope
we win this thing. I know its preseason, but here in Houston anytime they play the Cowboys everybody gets all geeked up and they friggin brag about preseason wins if they get it. I’m also sooooooooooo glad that the ‘boys beat the Texans last time in the regular season. You don’t know how sickening is it to get 19-10 thrown in your face every time you say you are a Cowboys fan down here.
Tom Grieve is my hero.
shame about Williams
and it happened because the guy that hit him was facked out so bad by Stanback
In Romo we Trust
to show his concern....thought it was a great shot of TO

audio delay
the sound is off here at the bar so i’ve got WOAI in my ear, but it’s like a full play behind, pretty funny listening to the call for the last play as they run the next one
tehre still was a big hole if he turned right
to me, abortion is not a religious issue, it's a common sense one...
There we go
He only got to the 25 or so this time.

That sounded
PAINFUL. Who put that helmet in there?

I like what I see so far...
But if the coverage team doesn’t get a lot better really soon, I’m calling for Read’s head.
Romo's not going to have the same humbers this year
If the return guys keep returning the ball well.
Waiting
waiting waiting waiting
Don’t they have a 1st pick DE or something? ;- )
Tom Grieve is my hero.
Deke...
I’m still worried. Specials aren’t covering kicks and a good defense isn’t enough to keep an NFL team from scoring on a short field.
The offense is fine, but the secondary is still a big question mark.
That said, there is a lot to like so far tonight.
