Cowboys' offense has too many weapons

In the Cowboys' win over Green Bay, you saw the beauty of Dallas' offense: They simply have too many weapons.
Teams that attempt to stop the run like Philadelphia, get burned with the pass. Teams like Green Bay that try to stop the pass, get burned with the run.
And even if you can shut down their primary play-makers like Marion Barber, Jason Witten and Terrell Owens, the Cowboys complementary players are so good that they can burn a defense too.
Patrick Crayton had a 184-yard performance against St. Louis last season. Miles Austin caught two passes for 115 yards and a touchdown against Green Bay.
There's no doubt Marion Barber is going to have a 100-yard game this season.
Then there's Jason Garrett orchestrating it all. He's creative and smart enough not to keep banging his head against a wall, if his game plan isn't working after a few series.
He's not opposed to change.
The Cowboys have not scored fewer than 27 points in a game, but they all know they could've scored more than 40 in each of the first three games, if they eliminate the red zone turnovers and penalties that have plagued them.
That's impressive.
