Thoughts before the Giants game...

The Cowboys escaped DC with a 27-20 road win. 
Now the Giants play Dallas for the second time this season.
Dallas defensive front last week triggered five sacks and 8 QB hits. If they put up a similar output, they should walk away with another victory.

Thoughts before the Football Team game...

Cowboys Tony Pollard is injured so they signed free agent RB Ito Smith. Hope he gets a few times with the football just to see what he can do.
QB: Dak Prescott vs Taylor Heinecke. Who comes up with the fewest turnovers will likely walk away with the win. The Defense intercepted Taysom Hill four times in the Cowboys last win vs the Saints.

Will the Cowboys rest Ezekiel Elliott going forward?

The Micah Parsons show: a rookie who is playing beyond his years, Washington will know where he is on every snap. 

Head Coach Mike Mccarthy guarantees victory in this game. A bold statement, doubly so going on the road.
Go Cowboys!

Cowboys Lose to Vegas, win vs Saints

With the Dallas Cowboys losing a heartbreaker in overtime to the Raiders on Thanksgiving, they needed a much better showing vs the Saints in the dome. 
Taysom Hill threw four interceptions as the Cowboys beat the Saints to get back on the winning mark. Dan Quinn became the interim head coach due to Mike McCarthy battling COVID. Michael Gallup hauled in one of the best touchdown catches of the year. A 27-17 Cowboys victory!

Cowboys lose a Statement game

That game was horrible.
No Tyron Smith on the offensive line.
Frank Clark 4 sacks.
No time for Dak to get rid of the football. No Amari Cooper.
CeeDee Lamb out at halftime with a concussion. I would be stunned if he played vs the Las Vegas Raiders on Thanksgiving. He or Cooper will both be out for this game.
Dak threw a couple of interceptions. One at the end of the half. One at the end of the game. Cowboys lose by ten, 19 to 9.
There were a couple of pass interference calls missed by the referees, that could have taken Dallas into first and goal territory. 
Happy Thanksgiving. Go Cowboys! Enjoy the Turkey!

Cowboys Run into a Buzzsaw

Were the Dallas Cowboys playing Providence Steam Rollers? Because that accurately describes what happened. The Denver Broncos lose their best player, LB Von Miller via trade. And they go on the road and drop 30 unanswered points! 
Dak Precott had perhaps the worst game of his career. The Coaching Staff and their refusal to try the Field Goal early on was mindboggingly stupid. A 30-16 final could have been closer, even as close as seven points if they kick the Field Goal!

The defense could not stop anybody either. A 30-16 final score. A couple of touchdowns and two point conversions in garbage time. 

On to Atlanta!

Thoughts on the end of the game

I did not have a lot of faith in Cooper Rush to back up Dak Prescott once it was announced Dak was out for the game, and through one half I was right. 

Whatever Mike McCarthy said to his team at halftime must have worked, because Rush threw a touchdown pass to begin the third quarter. 

Vikings clock management was absolutely atrocious! Their refusal to take their final time out only to spike the ball with one second left.  Then the inability to get out of bounds at the end was just as bad if not worse.

Greg Zeuerlein did not make all of his field goals, but he made the ones he needed to to win the game.
 20 to 16 Cowboys win!

Thoughts before the game

Dallas plays on the road at New England today. I am Excited to see Mac Jones play. I am getting serious Brady vibes watching him play. He takes care of the football and rarely turns it over.
The Cowboys defense has been incredible. I love the play of Trevon Diggs, the league leader in interceptions. He is quickly developing a reputation as a Shutdown Corner.
Ezekiel Elliott (ribs) will play. Tony Pollard will likely get a bigger workload with the injury.
Good statement game coming up later.
Prediction: Cowboys win 28-7.

Cowboys thoughts

Zeurlein at the buzzer makes us 1-1. A young inexperienced Chargers team penalized the game away. Dallas would be 0-2 if the Chargers had their things together. Chargers lost their home field advantage when they left San Diego. 
Monday night got off to a much better start. Dak Precott in his first start thew a dime to CeeDee Lamb just shy of the endzone. 
Cowboys have a home game vs Carolina, a true "measuring stick" game versus the undefeated Panthers.

My thoughts on The Dallas Game

So it's been a long while since I have made a blog post. The Dallas Cowboys and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers played an amazing season opener on Thursday Night. Here Are my thoughts on the game

Dak Prescott is back
Dak Prescott was back in the saddle, and he looked great. First game back since he was injured in Week 5 and had to miss the rest of the season. He threw for 403 yards And 3 touchdowns, and threw one interception that went through the hands of wide receiver CeeDee Lamb. He even took the run/pass option! Dak Is back at 100 percent. This loss is not Dak's fault, but rather inept coaching playing for the Field Goal instead of trying for the endzone.

Tom Brady looks better than ever
Tom Brady found his buddy Rob Gronkowski for two touchdowns in the game, just like in the Super Bowl. Brady threw two interceptions, including on a Hail Mary right before halftime.

Cowboys Kicking Woes Continue 
Greg Zeuerlein missed a couple of kicks that he should have made, and I am not including that 60 yard long kick either. Z missed an extra point way leftward, indicating to me he is still battling that groin injury. He was healing up all preseason and did not try any kicks until then. Hopefully he uses his off time until the next game vs the Chargers to heal.

Cowboys Defense Seems better
The Cowboys defense seems at least somewhat improved. They intercepted Tom Brady twice, and took The Bucs down to the wire. Yes the defense gave up 31 points, but this defense will only get better on defense once Kelvin Joseph gets healthy.

The Cowboys next game is on the road vs the Los Angeles Chargers.
