I am hoping the Cowboys can at least do better than 8-8.  If we make the playoffs, great, but I just want a winning season, preferably one with 10 wins or more.

Since I am in Utah, I will be following the Broncos and 49ers a lot closer since they are the closest teams to me.  I will never stop being a Cowboys fan, just like I will never stop being an Oklahoma Sooners fan or Oklahoma City Thunder fan.  I will just 'follow' the local/regional teams.

We've got a good defensive struggle brewing in New Jersey.  3-0 Giants lead and that only thanks to a Tony Romo miscue that nearly resulted in a defensive touchdown if not stopped by a horse-collar penalty.

Both defenses look pretty decent.  This game won't go any higher than 14-17 points for the winner.

I was thrilled when Tony Romo got the first touchdown of the new season and lead 7-3 early in the 3rd quarter!  If our defense can hold, Dallas may have a chance to take one away from New York and go into Seattle 1-0 next Sunday.

Dallas just escaped the hardest place for them to win with a victory!  We not only get to go to Seattle with a 1-0 record, but we have a major leg up in the division already by winning a division game on the road!  It also boosts the Cowboys confidence.  Anybody who had Tony Romo on their fantasy team is probably smiling right now.  Same goes with Ogletree.

Prediction: Eagles last in division, Vick and Reid goners.

That'd be the best thing for the Eagles, honestly.

That was embarrassing. We need to beat the Dolphins before losing two straight.
To be fair to the Jets, that was a much more important game for the Steelers than it was for the Jets.  The Steelers had to win that game, the Jets just needed it.  Losing on the road to a good team isn't the end of the world.  Ya better win that game next week in Miami though 'cause your schedule ain't getting any easier after that.

Except, Miami is coming off an unexpected, but nevertheless welcome win against Oakland.  Miami is not going to be as easy as people think.

I must say I am very intrigued by the Dallas Cowboys.  Only they could go in to the toughest place for them to play (New York) and not only win, but dominate the game and then turn around the next week going to a rookie quarterback's house on a team that has a lot of questions heading into the season and lay an egg... 

Bravo, Dallas... Bravo!!

The officials in the Saints/Packers game aren't any better than those in the Packers/Seahawks game...  I wonder if the refs both replacement and regular got together in the preseason to agree on sabotaging the Packers season?  Two or three clear calls have gone in the Saints favor when they should have gone to the Pack.

The Eagles barely escaped with a win, dropping the defending Super Bowl champs to 2-2 with both losses coming against division opponents.  Somehow, the Eagles are 3-1 when their quality of play could easily have put them 0-4.

My Cowboys are mediocre at best this year.  However, it is comforting to know that my two most hated teams - New England Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers are doing crappy this year (by their standards).

Ugh... Cowboys. Down 16 to 0 and the 2nd quarter has just started. 3 turnovers already. My Facebook status update feed is going to reach "Apocalyptic freakout" levels from all the Cowboy fans I know.

Their defense is keeping them in this... barely. It could be a lot worse. On the bright side, their offense is getting a lot of rest today from all the turnovers. It'll keep 'em fresh for next week... (heh.)

I know, I had to change the channel.  I'm now watching Hurricane Sandy coverage on The Weather Channel.

The only thing that makes this Giants win somewhat bearable is it is, at best, a split for the Giants.  We snuck out of New York with a win in Week 1.

That's true. At least the 'Boys split the season series. Who knows. Maybe something insane will happen and the Cowboys will somehow come back. I'm not holding my breath, but there's still a ton of game to play.

Its not over, yet.  23-10 in the 3rd quarter.  We're within 2 touchdowns.  Still not likely, but it doesn't look as bad now.

Believe it or not, the Cowboys are leading 24-23 now. I admit, I'm impressed with them right now. Hopefully they'll keep it up and win this one.

Troy Aikman was just saying the Giants better wake up or it could be a blowout the other way.

It doesn't get any easier for Dallas.  They have to visit 7-0 Atlanta next week and then to Philadelphia the week after.

     Nah, you just had Tony Romo behind center.

And, we had Dez Bryant...
