This.

The offensive line is limiting the way Jason Garrett calls a game, and even when they scheme to hide/protect the glaring weaknesses, they still can't muster more than 16pts per game. This running game is one of the worst I've ever seen, and it's in large part due to a spectacularly abyssmal offensive line.

It would also help if the defense could create a turnover or two. The secondary seems allergic to interceptions.

You have no idea what you're missing.

4 preseason games are INTENSE

I'm actually very excited to play Ray Ray and 'em.

CATCH17 · 10-09-2012

Im not excited at all. I feel like im just going through the motions watching a game now days and im way more likey to turn the game off if it gets out of hand.

BigD · 10-09-2012

I see us getting punched in the mouth early and quitting similar to the Seattle game, but hey, I'm excited to watch the Cowboys play as I am every Sunday. I just hope for some real effort against another very physical team.

With Barry Church, I think we had a top 5 defense. Without him, meh.

I'm excited, but I'm tired of having a scrub at safety.

People act like he's Darren Woodson 2.0. He's an average player at best. Secondary isn't the issue people. The issue is the defensive line and not being able to apply pressure consistently.

i'm hesitantly excited as if I'm going to my favorite restaurant that hasn't been the same as it used to be when I first fell in love with it.

As a result, I'm not sure if I'm going to get a tasty meal or if the chef is going to come out and kick me in the nuts.

tupperware · 10-09-2012

To be honest I'm not excited at all and the excitement just goes down and down game after game. Pitiful, I know.

I haven't seen a thing from this team to make me think it's ever going to change. The moment you think something good is happening it just goes away the following week.

I'll treat it like a Soap Opera!

Wouldn't you agree there was no talk of playing Carr at safety while Church was healthy? If McCray is adequate to the task, why don't we just plug him in and play him instead of trying to work our best cover corner into some kind of safety rotation?

The team as had it's butt handed to it 2 out of the last 3 games. If they have any heart at all, they man up and come out and take it to the Ravens. I think they have heart. I think they have some fight in them. I think they will take it to the Ravens.

Fire away, bash away, whatever you feel like you need to do. I will be in front of that TV on Sunday, expecting (not wishing, not hoping they prove me wrong or whatever the catch phrase is today) a win by MY Boys! The next 5 games will define this team and season.. I say we go 4-1 and have a 6-3 record when its all said and done.

Sunday's Score: Cowboys 24 Ravens 10.

To borrow a saying: Book IT!

Thats because you have a short memory. You will be excited till about the 2nd quarter rolls around. At least if we do it my way and play conservative, we could at least be in it until the 4th quarter. If Garretts gets up on his horse and starts having Romo fling it all over the field and abondons the running game in the first quarter, we will be doomed.

Wow, the confidence and excitement level for our Cowboys seems to be at an all time low, at least in my recent memory. Can't say it's not without merit, though.

Fair point. I'd argue that our defense hasn't missed a beat without church
