Mike McCarthy was moved when his players gave him a game ball for his first win as Cowboys’ coach. “Those are the moments in this great game that you always remember,” he said. “ Those are the moments when you’re sitting on the porch at the end of the journey, you’ll look back on. I mean, it was a great regular season win for us, no doubt about it. To come early in the season like this, I think there is definitely an opportunity to build off this win.”

Special teams coordinator John Fassel said he heard from a number of colleagues after Greg Zuerlein’s successful onside kick attempt from Atlanta. So much so that he apologized to those he had not gotten back to yet. But does he have more tricks in the bag? “Oh you know it. We’re still learning too about ourselves and some other things we can do,” he said. “I guess that game we emptied it out. But we’ve got a bullpen full of them that we can fill it back up with.”

I appreciate the bag of tricks but wish he had a punter in that bag as well. Tricks are great but you need guys who can get the job done and Chris Jones simply can't. He is a handicap that weighs down on the unit.

So does Fassel get a redemption for the bonehead fake punt fails?

I think a lot of special teams guys want to pick his brain about that onside kick. Was it luck or brilliance? It's hard to say for sure yet but probably some of both.

Yep. I said it was a great move when it happened. If you don't make it, you can strategize on how to get there. If you wait until (potentially) the end of the game and don't get it, you're just screwed.

I see #89 and still think it's Amari Cooper

89 seems like a slow ass TE number.

This year's MNF broadcast crew is their best since Madden and Al Michael's jumped ship to NBC.

That's what I was thinking last night.

Fassel's a genius. The fake punt fails set up the onsides kick success.

Eh. Same thing. A venue built for money.

Of course they are built for money. The NFL is a business and the presentation of every aspect of the game should create revenues to pay these underpaid players.

This was actually pretty good.

No... actually, it sucks, BAD. A destitute man's Scooter McGruder.

[Cowboysrock55]

Yeah pleasantly suprised by his play so far.
