Gee, thought I read people on here that said we had no chance to stop the highpower Atlanta offense and couldnt do anything with the Falcons great defense. Strike up another great call for CZ experts!

Outstanding win by the team. Other than two drives, our defense totally stopped them. Michael Turner didnt do crap. Matt Ryan really didnt do crap. Roddy White averaged something like 8 yds a catch. We didnt do anything in 1st quarter offensively, then they couldnt stop us. They did a good job vs the run, but they couldnt contain our passing game. For the first time this yr, Romo REALLY played a great game. He had a couple other solid games that looked better because of WR's YAC's, but today he was the "great" Romo.

1) Yes, Miles Austin is absolutely legit. Remember when we cut TO, Jones made the comment about Austin potentially being a #1? (not just a good player, or decent starter) Yeah, Jones was just in a drunken state I guess.

2) I think this is by far the best the pass rush has looked this yr. All you dopes that said Ware was a potential waste of money 3 weeks ago, please stand up and be accounted for. Of all the stupid crap thats said on here on a day to day basis, people questioning THIS guy have to be rated as THE dumbest. And the pressure didnt just come from Ware, it came from alot of people.

3) Alot of teams get credit for hiring this coach or that coach, but us bringing in Joe DeCamilis never gets mentioned, and its a shame. What a DRAMATIC difference in special teams coverage units. Buehler and McBriar are just ridiculous, but our coverage units when teams to try run backs are just amazing. It's the best we've had since the early Jimmy days.

4) Maybe we should demote Patrick Crayton more often.

5) Thought our offensive game plan was outstanding, though I have to admit I hated seeing the kneel downs at 2:00 mins. I wanted another TD and some more rushing stats. Over 400 yds of offense again, and over 8.0 yds per play.

6) I still believe that at some point this yr, Roy Williams is going to have some big games.

7) Yeah, I'm glad we didnt trade Martellus Bennett. He was more involved today and like RW above, I believe there's gonna be a few games this yr where he shows up huge.

8) Allen Rossum, we hardly knew ye.

9) Wade deservedly gets bashed for alot of stuff, but insisting on adding Keith Brooking once he got waived is something he deserves a ton of credit for. (I admit, I thought Brooking was done when we got him). It was also Phillips who wanted DeCamilis.

10) Mike Jenkins, you are a future probowler. No doubt in my mind about it. Wont be this yr, but look out 2010 onward.

11) Hard to gauge much on our RB's today, the Falcons clearly were geared up to stop the run. But Felix looked pretty damn quick to me. Only negative was the fumble, but he was solid other than that.

12) Gotta take care of Seattle next week, otherwise todays win doesnt mean much. But assuming they do, being healthy (potentially) and 5-2 going into Philly doesnt look so bad.

When Jerry made that comment about Austin, I laughed.

Guess Jerry and Austin are getting the last laughs in.

I must admit that Austin suprised me with the game he had today.I still want to see a few more games from Austin though to see how he does as more tape is compiled.I'm sure that after today defensive coordinators are really going to study what he can or can't do.I'm hopefull that he comes through with flying colors.

Me too, but now he's like in my top 3 favorite defensive players behind Ware and Jenkins.

The good thing about Miles that I see is that you can line him up anywhere, not just to the left or right but in the slot....... Irvin, Rice, Harrison, TO and so on strickly lined up to the right.....

Alot of posters have been on the Joe D bandwagon for a while now. I floated the idea of him as next HC. Love that guys intensity.

Great post, David...

On Ware, I wondered when they made the announcement about his foot this week if it wasn't nearly well, and that's why they finally said something about it. And sure enough, Brad Sham said during the game that Ware told him his foot was feeling better than it had since the first week. IMO they didn't want to say anything before they had to because maybe teams wouldn't slide protection to him if they knew he was hurt. But he's almost back now.

And to be fair to Vintage on Brooking, Keith wouldn't look this good in a speed-based 43. Even Brooking himself said he knew he had to find a system that fit his talents at this point, and this one does better than any of them.

The only thing that really, really peeved me about the game was that snafu in coverage that gave them that last TD. Next time call a time out if there's that much confusion. Otherwise, great day. It's going to be fun listening to talk radio all day tomorrow about us winning and the Giants getting spanked at home. :D

Yeah, because the defense FINALLY showed up to play. I said it would take a mighty effort from the defense, and they FINALLY brought one. Too bad it was game 6 before they did. Let's hope it's not the last time this year we see one.

Yep...and soon he'll be seeing double teams, which means RW and Romo better figure this chemistry thingy out.

Very telling that this is how you start out your post.

Why not just skip this nonsense and write all the other stuff?

I guess we should all just read your posts from now on and then we will know exactly what's going to happen, lol.

And please don't tell us you knew Miles Austin was going to have anothe huge game or that the Cowboys defense would get four sacks on Ryan or that Crayton would have a punt return for a TD or that this secondary would come out hitting hard and coming up with interceptions.

This team finally played a complete game and I am sure they surprised themselves somewhat with the performance. This team has played inconsistent in the first five games.

Can't just be happy about the win. Just had to try and crap all over the fans who weren't confident about the Cowboys going into this game.

And I predicted the Cowboys would win so I am not referring to me.

Some of the posters on here are so ready to call out the other posters instead of just talking about the game.

This has become your M.O. on here now.

Everyone else is stupid and you are the smartest person in the world.

Until next week...

:lmao:

What about Sensabaugh?? The guy had a great game and made his presence known. If not for the cast, he'd have had an INT today.

Romo tucking the ball and running; SMART. It takes some of the aggressiveness from defenses and ultimately helps him. I'm glad he didnt' hesitate much to run when there was nothing to throw to.


The OLine did a good job despite the 2 sacks. Credit to FLozell, he handled Abraham. Had help sometimes but still..Abraham was kept in check.

Well put. As I noted last night, a certain segment of the fan base seethes with contempt for their fellow fans, and this petty diatribe is Exhibit A. The old David was never this callow or vindictive, so the mystery lingers.

I know he wasn't.

He's a great poster. But some of those great posters have turned into the 'love the team or else police'.

Like any one of us knows what's going to happen. The players don't even know. But the fans who believe what they were seeing for five games are now stupid because we played one good game.

We need some sort of truce called around here.

A fresh start.

Something.

I'm not sure why I'm showing a quote in the Quick Reply window, nor do I know what a "CZ Expert" is, but I was certainly one of those who had very little faith that we'd play well enough to keep up w/ Atlants, let alone beat them.

But I am the first to admit this was a great win and it is incredible what this team can do when it puts it's mind to it. I'm not totally convinced we are in the POs, but if we play like this every game, we have a great chance to make the POs and even win.

I just hope this is really the start of something big, and I sense it may well be, especially the relationship that is developing between Romo and Austin. Their play seems to be lifting the entire team to produce. It's going to get a lot tougher in 5-6 games when team have some game film on Austin, but for now I'm just gong to enjoy what's unfolding before me...

I was pretty neutral on the KB signing. I figured it would be just like Z. Thomas 2.0

I think he's bringing some much need leadership AND enthusiasm to this team.
