MNF



Cowboys win
Wow, what a game. I was saying that after the first quarter. We don't get too many shootouts in the NFC East. Although, the second half turned into a pseudo grind-it-out game. The QB's put were awesome. Big time players made big time plays.

Tony Romo - the comparisons to Brett Favre are nice, but I hope he can be better than that. And by that, I mean leading his team to multiple Super Bowls. He has to eliminate the mistakes and make smart plays. As much as I like his style, he has to manage his wildness (which is part of what makes him so good).

TO - absolutely abused the secondary. Why did he not get any looks in the second half?

Jason Whitten - what a stud. This guy plays his heart out even after sustaining a painful shoulder injury.

Felix Jones - This guy is scary. I bet we will continue to see great things from this guy.

MB III - Typical grinding performance that eventually wore down the Eagles defense. GREAT job by the offensive line throughout the game.

Defense - unfortunately, the injury to Roy might actually help this team. The offenses were so good in the first half, that it is hard to blame them. In the second half, the Eagles only scored 1 TD. McNabb held the ball too long on a few plays and was indecisive on the Westbrook fumble. But, the last sacks were a result of good coverage by the Cowboy secondary.

The refs missed a few calls in the one - Jason Hatcher facemask, Greg Lewis interference, late hit on Patrick Watkins tackling Westbrook out of bounds.

Brian Westbrook is simply amazing. This guy scares me every time he is on the field.

DeSean Jackson - wow, incredible talent with a peanut brain.


This is a game that will be discussed for a long time. Next week should be another dandy. Sunday night at Green Bay.
