It was a hard pill to swallow having to watch the game slip away last night. But how many of the people who are all ticked off today, really gave the Cowboys any chance to even compete in that game?

I can't really fault Romo for the fumble trying to score. How many QB's in there first real start after breaking their collarbone sell out like that? The pick at the end was bad, but was any of it Dez's fault? We'll probably never know since Tony took the blame.

(Not for nothing, but didn't Big Ben turn the ball over 5 times himself yesterday?)

I for one, feel real good about what I saw on defense. They are only going to get better as the season goes on. Never let up or faded like they made a habit of last year in the fourth quarter.

Tyronasaurus! this kid played despite being declared out for up to four weeks just a few days ago. The line overall played pretty good after settling down. Considering they had three rookies starting, I couldn't fault the few mistakes they made. And they to, are only going to get better.

Shaun Lee looked very instinctive, nine tackles. Glad to see him starting.

If they can get Dez to play a complete game at some point, the offense is going to really start rolling. I'm feeling good about this team.
 
I knew it was possible we'd rise to the occasion and steal a win, but I didn't expect it. Once we got in to about the 2nd QTR or so, that feeling changed to a real confidence. I guess that's the problem I have with this Cowboy team, they play with my emotions too much. Just let me sit in my expectations for once and be happy I was right!

Get Dez to play a complete game??? The guy was injured. Why are some people not acknowledging this?

Not sure how you can fault Dez on the INT when Revis played the underneath coverage all the way. Even if Dez runs a shorter route, Revis is still there waiting for the ball. Romo got tricked and threw right into the coverage.

It did seem like there was some communication problem, Romo and Dez was discussing it after the play. I feel Dez should have been on the bench anyway. You could see he was having leg problems. A heatlhy WR could have made that cut/comeback if that was Romo was expecting.

Anyhow, INTs happen. That blocked punt is unexcusable, that man was untouched. Trip his *** if need be.
