Cowboys 26, Chiefs 20 (OT): Men on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown

Talk about a career day…

TO WHO???

“He (Miles) has the charecteristics of the Reciever that just left here.” haha won’t even say TO’s name

We were able to scrape by Kansas City, barely.

While I’m more than happy they showed all the heart and resiliency in the world, we almost blew it. Honestly, I don’t know if we win against Atlanta.

With that said, a win’s a win. So I’ll enjoy it today :D

And there seemed to be some real positives to take from the game, such as the play of Choice, Austin and Romo. However, I still have no idea how we got so far behind the Chiefs.

And I benched Romo for Favre.

But, at least these Cowboys Miller High Lite cans seemed to help superstitiously…

Btw, we have a killer 58 minute and OT defense.

After blowing two last-second games, it definitely boosts their confidence that they can actually win one of them.

And I was ecstatic to see Miles score those long ones, but honestly he could’ve put the game away so much earlier if he had caught those two endzone passes.

Still much work to be done, but a win’s a win, and their morale must be good right now.

Also, I released Miles Austin on my FF team yesterday because I needed a defense for this week. How about that? I was gonna pick him back up after this week, but we’ll see how that goes now.

A win is a win. But, how many games will they win playing like this? Very few.

    Glad to see Romo picked up his game and Austin showed some real promise. Ultimately though..this team seems closer to falling apart than pulling it all together. A bye week can mean a lot in the development of a team and they need an intervention this week..

That game was more exciting than it should have been.

Hat’s off to Austin, Choice and Romo, and the defense who were put into tough positions once again by ST and offensive miscues.

They needed to win a close game, even if it was against an outmatched opponent.

really really should have gone for it. don’t know what they were thinking.

But how is this team going to turn it around? It’s not like talent is the issue, we have some great players. Our problem is discipline, and there is no discipline under Wade Phillips. A bye week can be a great cure for struggling teams, but this isn’t a new problem. It’s the same problem we have been facing, and it isn’t going to change because of a week off. On a positive note, hats off to Romo, and a special hats off to Choice, Austin, and Brooking.

I’m a realist, and they’re playing worse than i thought they would. The wheels appear to be coming off. The “tougher camp” was obviously propaganda. I don’t think wade will make it to the end of the season.

Good thing is we should have a great draft pick………… and at least we’re not as bad as washington

Every game is a battle. 3-2 isn’t ideal, but this team hasn’t played one complete game yet. Lots of penalties today. Offense put the defense in a hole early. Hat tip to Miles Austin. 2 huge TD plays with most of the YAC. Choice is becoming the closer while Barber continues to get back to full strength. I need a bye week.

I’m just not sure it will be a winning one.

for most yards in a game in his first start and not T.O. in 3 seasons.

to just have something to feel good about. The were the only team to lose this week, a week when the NFC eas opponents were a combined 1-15 (raiders, KC, Car, & TB). That is Houston Texan bad, the pathetic kind of sad, by the way the tex-anns are already down 3 TDs in the 1st half to the cards, today is looking good.

not because we didn’t lose but because there is nobody with backbone in the organization to facilitate change. all those people calling for flo and carpenter to be benched and coaches to be fired (including me) – we can forget about it. nothing interesting until the end of the regular season. I can’t imagine anybody within the organization doing anything drastic.

He gives us absouletly nothing there….Go with RW, Austin and I would like to see Ogletree as the #3 at some point this season…..

once we get Felix back we’re gonna be ok, plus MBIII is all the way back off his injury we are gonna be soooooo good if Opie doesnt go retarded

today just makes the case stronger..He brings nothing to the return game and is sub par as a WR…he doesn’t get seperation and drops balls at crucial times….Hopefully, they learned today Austin is a true #2 WR and Crayton is nothing more than a #3 or #4 in this league…

…would anyone happen to have a stream of the Denver/NE game?

no one complaining about the refs. Did no one see the horse collar tackle on Miles Austin on his first catch and the helmet to helmet hit on Romo? How about the Helmet hit called on Ball.. Seriously.. that was a good hit and the only reason his head moved was because the guy that got hit lowered his head… This game was almost lost thanks to the officiating crew.

as the Broncos’ uniforms.

I’m going to attempt some objective analysis because there are things that I like even though its been incredibly frustrating season. So here goes.

Positives:

If you had asked me before the season where I was looking for improvement i would have had the following list.
-Special teams
-Replace TO’s production (actually thought that would be easy with Felix and Roy W)
-Improvement with Anthony Spencer
-Improvement with Mike Jenkins
-Upgrade Zach Thomas

Frankly, except for replacing TO’s production, I think the Cowboys have accomplished all of the above, which makes it surprising that they’ve struggled. They’ve gotten great play out of Brooking, and Spencer and Jenkins are playing well. The defense should be consistently good.

Negatives:

The Cowboys are turning the ball over and getting a lot of penalties. After 3 years of Wade is this a pattern or are we getting fooled by a bit of randomness.

Now that I’ve calmed down and think about it, I think there is a bit of randomness working here. Crayton muffing a punt seems a little fluky (i.e. Crayton doesn’t consistently muff punts), as do the Whitten heel pick and Felix’s kickoff fumble. And the penalties were under control until today. Considering the progress on fixing the special teams, I’d give the benefit of the doubt and be cautiously optimistic that Dallas will improve the penalties and turnovers.

I think this team is better than last years 9-7 version. What about others?

One other interesting point.

I know Wade is often criticized for being soft but there hasn’t been a single serious injury yet. I’m encouraged that the team will be at full strength coming out of the bye.

to bring out blitz packages in passing/long yardage/3rd down situations. Especially at the end of the game, he just allows the defense to take body shots. They’ve had the opposing team drive the field on them in the last drive of almost every game this season.

Discussed but. WHY WAS BARBER STILL THERE IN THE 4TH?

I mean choice was obviously more effective, and barber could not make it to the gaping holes? I mean are we the only one with eyes?

Denver playing NE tough makes us not look quite so bad losing a close game to them. the Broncos are for real.

How do you get 4 offsides penalties in a series (or was it 5?) – and all by different players!~!

I have never seen anything like it.

The Pats aren’t as good as they were a few years ago, but they aren’t bad. It makes the Cowboys loss not look so bad. With a little luck we could be 5-0, but you make your own luck by playing four quarters of good ball don’t you?
