Your Dallas Cowboys are not done. We're getting back the Kraken. You think Hardy played with a chip on his shoulder before it will be 20x that after everything that's happened. Even if he's rusty he's still better than anyone we have on the defensive line. Crawford appeared to be alright has he went back in the game. Rolando McClain when he was right and engaged was one of the best Mike backers in football in 2014. You won't see him getting trucked by anyone. For all the talk about Weeden he has been more than good enough to win. The dude has a QB rating of 108. I don't wanna hear this crap about how he won't take shots because he CLEARLY took some tonight. Also Dez will be back after the bye. That may be bigger than Romo coming back because our wide recieving corps are decimated right now. Getting Dez back will put everyone in their right positions. T-Will is clearly not a #1 and he'll go back to being a #2 where he excels. Cole in the slot. Takes a defender from potentially stacking the box. With Weeden's arm strength he should be able to have a good raport with Dez.
The Giants haven't impressed me. Dallas would've blown them out if it wasn't for turnovers. They beat a Buffalo team with an anemic offense missing their two top weapons. People keep talking about another SB run in New York, but they don't have the same caliber of defense line as their championship runs. Michael Strahan, Justin Tuck, Osi, hell even a JPP ain't walking through that door. Who else scares in the division? Sam Bradford still doesn't look like an NFL starter and their offensive line still cannot run block. The Commanders have a noodle armed quarterback.
With Randle's idiocy we should start to see more of Christine Michael by default. He only got one carry tonight, but he gives us a different style of runner that neither DMC or Randle are. I just don't see any of these teams that the Cowboys are playing as games we can't win. Dez coming back for the Giants is gonna be a huge boost. The Seahawks haven't looked anywhere near the team that nearly won back to back Super Bowls. The Eagles are an absolute mess and look on the verge of implosion. Tampa Bay has a rookie quarterback who doesn't look anywhere near ready for the NFL.
I'll admit I was super pissed after this game, but taking a deep breath and realizing after this coming game there are some very winnable games on the schedule. Not nearly as daunting as it once appeared. The lackluster division, the fact that we are getting some real high impact level players back soon, and the fact we already have two wins and two division wins is huge and there is reason for optimism. The defense stunk down the stretch, but most of the game they hung in there. Some missed opportunities not getting interceptions, but they're just too banged up right now.
We are getting one of the best pass rushers in the National Football League back. Who will make everyone else better. I mean just think about the kind of pass rush we can eventually have with the likes of Hardy, Gregory, Crawford, and Lawrence. This will improve the opportunities for turnovers as well. Weeden has done his job. He was more aggressive. He just doesn't have the playmakers around him, but with Dez's return on the horizon that will change. The goal line offense will improved significantly with him back on the field. Won't have to rely on T-Will. Just throw it up to Dez and he'll come up with the ball. We know how good he is on those back shoulder fades.
It's a long season fellas and we are still #1 in the NFC East. Really none of these teams have taken full advantage of our injuries and things are gonna start to upside.
