The offense didn't show anything really. A couple short passes, little running and a few penalties. I didn't see anything that I thought was laziness or sloppy play in the little time Romo was in. Columbo's penalty was really a reach, especially since they gang tackled Barber the play before. Columbo wasn't going to let someone cheap shot a stood up Barber. Still, Romo had good protection for the most part.

The defense was sloppy but really aided by a sharp QB in Cutler. Several of his completions had a Cowboy within a step of the receiver. Not alot you can do then when the pass rush wasn't there. Especially the play action. Ware just stood his guy up a few times thinking it was a run. That really negated his strength. All I read about in the rags today was how BRandon Marshall just beat Pacman down all day. I didn't see it though. In fact I saw him beat every other DB but Pacman. He beat the rookie Jenkind for that touchdown.

Brady's late hit was a little more understandable but still not flagrant. When Austin Miles scored a Denver DB shoved him as he stood up. Where's the flag?

How funy was Deion Anderson trying to get up after getting his bell rung on the opening kick off?

All in all it wasn't as bad as it was made out by the gloomers on this site. That's 4 sure.

You must have read the Associated Press game story, which was all about how Marshall beat "a frustrated Jones," then ran right past Jones to celebrate his touchdown.

Except it wasn't Jones. It was Jenkins. Jones wasn't even on the field.

The AP had to release a correction today.

Spoken like a person who is objective and has perspective.
Agree.
The chicken little's running around and telling us the sky is falling come out every year during the preseason. I think those people watch to much ESPN.

Adam...............it was an absolute circus. They hit and missed on Cowboy players all night. I was there with my little T.V. There was a vengence and noticable hatred with the outside commentators.

In my live experience, it was their superbowl. Shanahan took it to us.

Beware Denver fans........Your HC exposed your team.
