The Cowboys have won three in a row now as they get ready for a big one in Steel City.
Let's see who's up and down.

Stock Up

1. Bradie James. Had his best game of the season with two sacks.

2. Tony Romo. Looked pretty good with a 331 yard performance and three touchdowns.

3. Jason Witten. I know. I know. I said Witten should sit. Just for a rest. They needed him and he played well. Nine catches for 115.

4. DeMarcus Ware. He said his knee is fine and the Cowboys need him for the last four weeks. Ware had three sacks and four tackles for loss. Wow.

5. Offensive line. Protected Romo and allowed the Cowboys to rush for 116 yards.

Stock Down

1. Marion Barber. Has a dislocated toe. Status is uncertain for Pittsburgh.

2. Pacman Jones. He comes back Monday and the Cowboys have to deal with the distraction that is Pacman Jones.

3. Secondary. Gave up too much to Matt Hasselbeck (287 yards passing).

4. Seattle. Can we get a better opponent for the last Thanksgiving Day game?

5. Time to go home and get some turkey.

why do they keep adding hurt players on the "stock down" report?

to make your stock go down, your performance has to hurt your standing, hence the term "stock"

because he is following a formulaic deal where he offers 5 stock downs....

pac man... come on.
we gave up passing yards today in bunches... so if anything pac man is stock up. hard to be more stock down that where he was 2 weeks ago.

Probably because not many players hurt their stock today.

Much like why you'd put the secondary on there after today. Didn't give up a TD, intercepted a pass ... yet their stock down? Well, if you've got to pick 5 "stock down" guys after a 34-9 win, you're usually going to be reaching.

so he's making **** up just to fill up writing bloc space?

I should have known better

Well, "Time to go home and get some turkey" did have an awful game today. That dropped pass was ridiculous.

What number is he again?
