The problems are real; not in our heads.

Leeblair long ago proved that he knows nothing about football... he basically ran himself out of the Ranch with his endless litany of ignorance... it got to a point over there where he could actually have made a valid point, and nobody would have discussed it with him... they'd much prefer to just abuse him...

But ask him, and he'll tell you ALL about his vast experience in coaching...

Tee ball... I swear, I'm not making that up... :D

Of course it's ridiculous to form any impressions yet about the Cowboys' offense... my biggest concern in that area is that Tony has looked a little "off" for the last week or so, and I'm starting to wonder if he's not concealing some sort of minor injury that's holding him back...

I think Romo will be just fine. I think those guys are anxious to get the regular season going..

Can anyone here guarantee that the 'problems that they see now' will carry over to the regular season? Or is this simply cases of concern which are totally unfounded unless the 'problems' present themselves during the 2008 season?

The thoughts of other teams' fans are welcome. cowboyrock..?

Cowboys limp home from Denver

August 17, 2008 4:42 PM


Posted by ESPN.com's Matt Mosley

Like most of the country, I was more interested in Michael Phelps' chase for an eighth gold medal Saturday than a couple of preseason football games. But through the magic of technology and a six-pack of Diet Coke I've now watched Cowboys-Broncos and Commanders-Jets in HD.

We'll start with Cowboys-Broncos, which caused Ed "Guns of Navarone" Hochuli to throw a season's worth of flags -- in the first quarter. As one of my pals texted me this morning during church: "Cowboys encourage Super Bowl hopes ... in Denver."

That would've made the perfect headline because this vaunted secondary we've been telling you about was shredded by Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler. And don't you wish players and coaches would spare us from this "we played as vanilla as we could" justification for looking awful in the preseason? To listen to Cowboys players, it seemed like they purposely allowed Cutler to begin the game 12-of-12 to give him some confidence heading into the season.

Dallas Morning News Cowboys beat writer Todd Archer accounted for the poor showing here, and he placed part of the blame on Tony Romo, who was 6-of-9 for 33 yards but wasn't able to lead the offense on a scoring drive. And as bad as the offense looked at times, the defense was worse. The Cowboys gave up 238 yards and 15 first downs in the first half.

The Cowboys managed to trim the margin to 14-7 shortly before the half because backup quarterback Brad Johnson and third-receiver candidate Miles Austin displayed some nice chemistry. Unfortunately for Austin, he suffered a knee injury on the ensuing kickoff and had to leave the game.

During a TV interview in the waning moments of the first half, Romo suggested the "thin air" may have contributed to him missing a wide-open Sam Hurd on what would've been a 74-yard touchdown. He's developed a wry sense of humor, so I'm hoping he was kidding.

Toward the end of the interview, he joked how writers would overreact to Saturday's loss, and at least one local columnist took the bait. But upon further review, maybe Jacques Taylor of the DMN wasn't harsh enough. He's not concerned with wins or losses in preseason (nor should he be), but at some point you need to display some signs that last season's 13 wins weren't an illusion. Last December, the Cowboys' offense made the mistake of thinking it would be able to flip a switch in January and roll through the playoffs. We all know how that worked out.

In addition to losing Austin to a knee injury that could prevent him from playing in the season-opener, starting defensive end Chris Canty suffered an injury to his hip early in Saturday's game.

Calvin Watkins dealt with "5 key issues" that the Cowboys were facing. He puts a positive spin on a fairly negative evening.

I'll have several more observations on both games later this evening.


Dallas Cowboys, Jay Cutler, Tony Romo, Chris Canty

We need to figure out who's gonna make the roster, Rock-head...

Bet we could kick some serious butt if we just played the starters, but it wouldn't help us figure out who has the ability to help the team in a backup role, would it??

And of course, if some of our starters were to be lost for the season in a freakin' preseason game, you'd be screaming about that, too... that's the beauty of being a Chicken Little, I guess, no matter how things go there's always SOMETHING to whine about...

No, but I do have to wonder what pleasure you get in being ridiculed for every one of your posts... it seems kinda sick to me, wanting to hang out with a bunch of people who have no respect for you...

Do you get some pleasure out of being despised?? Does it validate your own sense of self-loathing??
