First of all, this had to be one of the absolutely most difficult and miserable Cowboys games to watch in a long time.  At the beginning of the game we played with absolutely no heart and no discipline.  In the end, I couldn't help but find myself saying that neither of these teams deserved a win.  On offense, the Cowboys moved the ball fairly well only to eventually shoot themselves in the foot over and over again.  This had to of been one of Flozell's worst games in a lonnnggg time, and he has had some bad ones recently.  When he is not committing the most inopportune penalties, he is getting beat badly and showing awful technique.  Some positive notes: (1) T-Choice is the REAL deal, the dude has moves and shows us over and over again that he can carry the load of an every down running back; (2) Miles Austin is one slippery dude.

On the defensive side, Ratliff and Brookings are absolutely inspirational to watch.  Did anyone else see Brookings running down the side-line when the offense was on the field.  The dude is a leader that we so desperately need on this team.  Ratliff, what can I say, he is a dominating force out there and plays all out every play.  D-Ware, great to see him finally get some sacks but I want to see a more dominating game out of him.  Also, I am becoming more optimistic about Jenkins every game.

With all the good, comes the bad.  The Chiefs were absolutely miserable and we should not have let them stay in this game.  Prior to the game-tying drive at the end of the game, their best offensive weapons were the guys in stripes.  We have to quit committing the most annoying and easily correctable penalties (offsides??? it felt like every other defensive snap).  With that said, for the Refs not to call the helmet to helmet on Romo down in the redzone was pretty inexcusable with how closely they have called every other "touching" of the QB.  I disagree with the rules...but if they are going to call it, it sure would be nice for us to get the benefit of a call every now and then.  Second, the call on Alan Ball was questionable at best.  When it happened I was worried about a flag, but when they showed the replay I was floored.  It looked like a clean shot to me, but what do I know.


A lonng rant I know, but in the end, a Win is a Win.  I just know we won't win many more if we play like we did this past Sunday.

P.S. - I didn't even bother to mention the special teams turnovers.  That has to stop...and stop now...period.
