JJ who? In all seriousness, he had 1 or 2 good plays.

Dallas got really conservative at the end and couldn't stop Foster. Our 2 turnovers in their territory really hurt us. IMO, we should have attacked their corners more.

McClain saves long runs from happening. Durant looks like he's susceptible of getting eaten up by blockers.

Wilcox & Scandrick looked good. Car was average.

Church looked bad as well, joked out off his socks by Foster!

It was hard fought, at times ugly, game but the team came through when it mattered most. The end.

Watt was kept it check pretty much all game. He had a couple good plays that ultimately didn't affect the game and didn't show up on the stat line.

Romo was ultra-sharp all game. Crucial drops (by T. Williams) and fumbles (particularly inside the Texans' 10 yard line) took this game from a dominating blowout to a close one. But it was clear as day who was the better team on the field.

We saw the great Romo and the bad romo with that gimme interception in the red zone. And that intentional grounding call late in the game.

Biggest play of the game, Dez came up huge with a 3rd down catch from Romo who just chucked it up and ducked for cover Eli Manning style.

Trap game. Offense had no focus. Defense collapsed late. We won anyway.

The offense didn't look prepared, defense was stellar, ST's need chewed out and we almost blew it due to coaching and quarterback issues at the end. Dez saved the game with a new "the catch".

The offense was prepared. They just shot themselves in the foot. In the first quarter we had two 11+ play drives that ended with no points. One due to Murray fumble. The other due to drops and offensive penalties.

We aren't good enought o shoot ourselves in the foot and still win games. Well...except today that is.

Right, throwing it to Dez with one on one coverage while getting hit is chuck and duck...

Without a Demarco murray fumble and a Tony romo interception in the redzone this should of been a 31-13 game give or take.

Actually, that was a perfect play by Romo. They came out of coverage and blitzed nearly everyone leaving Dez one on one, and if you put it in his neighborhood, he's going to come down with it more times than not. WE used to scream at Romo for not just chucking it up to Dez, well when he's left in single coverage, that's always a good play.

I thought it was a good play too. Just think it was all dez. But I'm glad romo gave him a shot.

It was a let down game after the big performance against the Saints but they managed to win it with some luck.

The offense was not ready to play today but to their credit two clutch drives at the end. One in regulation (missed the FG) and the other when we got the ball back because if we don't score I don't believe the defense holds.

It was a bad spot for the Cowboys. Coming off of the Saints game, the Seahawks the week after, smelling themselves at 3-1. They figured to not bring their A-game today if you believe in those trends.

Hopefully this means they will be all systems go against Seattle.

I don't know that you could say the offense was unprepared. Romo was really sharp in the first half, it's not his fault his receivers dropped 3 perfectly thrown balls. Murray, again, had a fumble as we were driving to score in the first half.

I don't know that you could say the defense was stellar either. They definitely were bend but don't break. Foster was gashing us pretty bad.

ST had penalties every kickoff it felt like.

Romo had one miscue in the second half with the int. He just misread the defense. Houston was getting good pressure on him in the 2nd half, but Romo made tons of great throws today.

I thought coaching was pretty decent overall.
