Cowboys Week 10

This was a very defining game for the Cowboys. It essentially gave them a 3 game lead over the Giants by dropping them to 6-3 and sweeping them for the year. I didn't really expect them to beat the Patriots, but they did hang with them better than anyone outside of the Colts and that was with a banged up secondary. So, without looking past the upcoming opponents, it looks like we are on our way to an NFC showdown with the Packers that could be a preview of the NFC Championship game. It is a huge game because it could decide home field advantage for the playoffs including the championship game. We don't want to be playing on Lambeau Field in January.

Back to this week's game... The Giants came in with a good formula...and that was to take Witten out of the game and exploit Roy Williams. I'm getting really tired of discussing a Pro Bowl caliber first round pick like Roy as a liability, so an announcement needs to be made that for the rest of the year, he is officially auditioning to remain with the team. Hamlin is doing an awesome job, so he has the comliment they say he lacked. He lead the team in tackles, but that is only because they had no fear of going at him. I saw numerous plays where he watched other tackle and just stuck his hands in to pull a player down rather than to knock the crap out of them.

The corners continue to impress me. They are getting healthy and even Green has gotten enough starts to be able to come in with experience in a nickel situation or against the Patriots or Colts in a possible Super Bowl matchup. The WRs for New York had only 8 catches for 74 yards and no TDs.

I wanna see Barber get more touches. Jones had better numbers than Barber this week, but I knew that was padded as soon as I saw a poor defense give up a 20-yd run on the first play of the game. Outside of that run, they were about equal, but niether was very good. As good as Romo and the passing game is, I'd like to see us have the ability to chew up the clock with 5 yds per carry.



Stat of the week: Shockey 12 catches for 129 yds and 1 TD - that's on you, Roy...
Owens - 6 catches for 125 yds and 2 TDs - thank you Romo and Jason Garrett for making your team better by loving TO!
