Yesterday, the Cowboys got their collective butts kicked at the Meadowlands by the G-Men. There is plenty of blame to go around for sure. But, did we not expect this? Wasn’t it obvious (it was to me…read more here) that the ‘Boys had no shot at winning this game? Everyone knew it…the coaches…even the players!
For the past few weeks, everyone has been toting the company line, saying the right things, rallying behind Brad Johnson. Yeah, yeah, yeah…we all know that the Cowboys were just hoping to stumble into the bye week with their heads above water. You know what? They did, as they limp in at 5-4, with a chance to right the ship.
Hopefully, after the bye, the Cowboys can turn the switch “on”…though, that is easier said than done. I do like their chances though! With Romo coming back, that will bolster the offense. The addition of Roy Williams hasn’t really panned out so far…but it will, once the Cowboys are healthy. And, don’t forget about Felix Jones either…he will add a little “juice” to the offense as well.
Defensively, the Cowboys should get T-New back, and possibly Adam Jones…that should help as well. So, there is a pot of gold at the end of this rainbow. We just need to patient as the Cowboys start crawling out of this hole that they have dug for themselves! Again, that’s easier said than done as the Cowboys find themselves in the cellar of the NFC East…at the bottom of the barrel!
Short Shots:
Brad “noodle arm” Johnson got the hook in favor of Brooks Bollinger in the 2nd half of yesterdays debacle. Brooks played fairly decent after his pick…which he threw on his very first pass!
T.J. Houshmandzadeh is half way there (on his 2 win prediction) as the Bengals got their first win of the season. Yeah for T.J.!
Indy got a big win against the Patriots last night…I like it when the cheaters lose! Boo for Belichick!
For the Cowboys and their fans (myself included)…thank God it’s the bye week!

I couldn't believe Bollinger's first pass was an interception. I'm bummed they lost, but it certainly wasn't unexpected. Couldn't put it any better than you - TGITBW (thank God it's the bye week)!
Cowboys will get there confidence back. Romo will play. I had the reason I think cowboys struggled last three weeks in my blog. I just believe Wade never installed any confidence in Brad. Worse was Jerry Jones saying Romo will play. That had to take a mental toll on players.
In my opion they saw the press clippings. Jones saying Romo was going to play like he had to be there. The players in mind assumed he was not and they did not have a chance.
One thing you have to give Big Red and the Eagles credit for. No matter what starting QB is in there the Eagles go out and look like they can play. They have confidence.
The Cowboys have not played with confiendence. The Tampa Bay Game was no difference.watch that game and watch the highlight neither team wanted that game.
So good luck the Man is back. Owens will perform again. And the Cowboys will be digging them self out of the hole.
