1. The will of this team to come back to get a W on the road after being down 21-6 and looking like they were still feeling that Commander hangover.

2. Terry Glenn being the deep threat that can get us into scoring position.

3. Drew Bledsoe being able to come back and finish strong after throwing a couple of picks, one which was just a pass that should have never been thrown.

4. Dat Nguyen's ability to suck it up after being dinged up. His leadership on defense is a much needed asset because there are a lot of young players on this defense.

5. Terence Newman. This guy is solid on 9 out of 10 plays and should get better as the season goes on.

6. The offensive line - they had no holding/false start penalties, they allowed Bledsoe to stay comfortable in the pocket all day and they blocked enough on the goal line TD's so Julius could get the ball in the end zone.

7. Keyshawn. This guy is a gamer and comes to play every Sunday.

8. Larry Allen showing some emotion on the field, so whay if it was to rough house his teammate.

Dislikes...

1. Coaching staff trying to be cute every now and then. On that first drive of the game the Cowboys should have just run the ball on that 3rd and 1, but instead they tried a play action and Bledsoe got sacked by Bryant. Just run the freaking ball from now on and keep the chains moving.

2. Where's Julius on first down. Too many times the Cowboys tried to pass on first down and failed to complete the pass which lead to a 2nd and 10. Then of course they ran and it was 3rd and long before you knew it. I think this was a product of last week's melt down and hopefully it's a one week thing.

3. Anthony Henry. I know everyone has bad games, but I am now wondering if this is one of those guys who has 5 great games and then plays like he's in high school for a game. I hope not because the Cowboys can't know when this is going to occur and Jeckyl and Hyde cornerbacks can be more frustrating than your average player. I mean this guy was lights out the first two weeks and then Brandon Lloys uses him up like an old dishrag today? Weird.

4. The decision to allow Jeff Robinson to leave. Condo has a few crappy snaps a game and against a good team this may cost us a win.

5. Bonehead plays. Bradie James knocking the ball into the end zone. Glover's late hit in the beginning of the game. Bledsoe's first pick. Julius Jones fumble because he wasn't holding the ball properly. Polite dropping the ball every time we dump it off to him in the flat.

6. Having to sit through another "heart attack" game. After three weeks I am thinking I can maybe make it til Week 10 before I need a pacemaker.

7. That freaking stretch running play that never works. Just use the delayed handoff and the quick hit running plays. That stretch play is a 2nd and 11 waiting to happen every time.

8. Patrick Crayton, 2 things about him. He has to stop running with the ball like he's on the field by himself and I have seen enough of him on punt returns. Bring in Marion Barber before Crayton fumbles a punt return deep in our end of the field.

Man, do I agree with 7 and 8.

Yes, that stretch running play makes me want to scream........it has not worked once in the last 3 weeks, and its time to scrap it.......not gonna happen.

Crayton on punt returns; enough said. I have never like him on punt returns as he is too slow, has no feel for it and is by far not a game breaker with it. I say to try Barber......or hell, how about Price???

Yeah, Crayton as a punt returned needs to stop and hopefully soon. I still wish they would put Newman back there at least part of that time, but I won't hold my breath. Crayton is a nice WR, but he does not look like the greatest of runners out there. They probably also need to stop lining him up under center as well. There was a note in one of the articles I read that mentioned that Crayton took too long to get the snap on the fake punt and allowed the defense to get set too easily. He also did the same thing if you remember against Seattle last year when they went for two and moved him under center in a failed two point conversion attempt where he got stuffed like he did today on the fake.

Would love to see Thompson returning punts, wish he could develop into a "DATNE HALL" type ST player. Hopefully he can grow into the postion over time..

I'd add that on 3rd down we need to get PAST the first down marker when running routes - not 1 yard short!

Agree 100%. It seems like we're doing this consistently and I don't get it. Crayton is understandable, but we're seeing Witten, Keyshawn, and Terry do the same thing so I'm led to believe it's intentional play calling rather than poorly run routes.

1.) Like having the fifth ranked offense in the NFL
2.) Like having the fourth ranked receiver in the NFL
3.) Like beating a team on the road the plays well at home (beat the Rams)
4.) Like having a pass rusher that commands double teams to help free up Ellis
5.) Like having so many wapons on offense that they can't take away just one
6.) Like getting Pile in the game, the down field stuff seemed to stop w/ him in there
7.) A kicker that has some mojo he led special teams in tackles against the Chargers
8.) Like the Giants getting creamed against a team that we beat on the road

In all fairness to James, Condo batted the ball off his shin. The punt was another wedge from McBriar and didn't really need to be stopped from rolling into the endzone. Just an overexcited rook, I guess.
