Enthusiasm is at an all time high.
Chests are puffed.
The strut has come out.
The fandom has returned.
The server in the Cowboys shop is down.
So let's look at what ails this team:
I'll start with one: Turnovers. I believe we are +1 in that category. This has to increase. It's the law of the game. Harris is beginning to make me hold my breath with every punt. I don't like that feeling. We got lucky yesterday, but those turnovers have kept teams in the game. ala Houston.
Call me a negative Nancy, but I just wanted a "different" thread for a day or so.
Got any more?
You have to wonder what will happen the day the running game gets stuffed for whatever reason and how the defense will respond when they have to be out there the majority of the game.
They still have the ability to give up big chunks of yardage and scores much quicker than anyone would like to see.
Something I, for some reason, keep having nightmares about involving their upcoming games with the Eagles.
My gambling record, as of late has been just a few small shades above abysmal so I'm not getting overly worried about my gut feelings as of yet.
The fumbles are STILL a problem.
Whether it's Murray (who appeared to fumble late in the 1st quarter, but the ball went out of bounds), or Harris- this is a problem.
This team is playing (in my humble opinion) above their heads a little bit and they cannot keep expecting to overcome needless turnovers and expect to win.
It will bite them.
The Special Teams unit has regressed and it's been pretty bad from penalties on nearly every opportunity (last game) to blocked punts to running out of the endzone at the worst time to FUMBLES.
Bisaccia needs to get those guys heads back into what they were last year (obviously besides White Mamba Bailey)- a solid unit that could be depended upon.
The pass rush is barely good enough also.
Pressures are good- sacks are better and total, consistent pocket chaos is best and this team is not creating that nearly enough.
There. I have no more salt to place upon any wounds presenting themselves to me. That was therapeutic! You should charge for this.
If you don't, some goober in Los Angeles who happens to be a Cowboys fan will read this and immediately Copyright, Incorporate, make an infomercial and then you will be reminiscing on "What could have been" while L.A. goob is swimming in money like Scrooge McDuck's vault.
Shoot- you better do it before I do... I'll shoot an Infomercial in a heartbeat.
Of course I'd probably ruin it- not being able to take anything seriously. I'd most likely offend my demographic as I attempt to sell the product.
Dang it! I know I would! Like trying to sell Beano by offending people who are chronic farters.
All right my friend- I concede I will not attempt to steal your business opportunity.
