The Morning After: Cowboys 31, Giants 21

Owens was really explosive. His hands weren't anywhere close to that of Dez Bryant though. Bryant's ability to play the ball and the wide array of catches he can make exceeds anything Owens was capable of. In terms of pure explosive speed though I'd give Owens the edge. Overall I'd take Dez.

Not to mention Dez doesn't give a shit if he gets the ball. He truly just wants to win.

and if the officials did not butcher the call where Terrell McClain stole the ball from Andre Williams, that would have given Dallas the ball all 3 times.

This kind of shit has been happening way too often this season. Twice to the Cowboys alone. But it's been all over the NFL with terrible officiating mistakes.

I understand wanting to protect players, but fuck, at least let forward progress TRULY be stopped before you blow the play dead.

The rest of the year Dallas has four tough opponents: Indy, Arizona and the Eagles twice-- 3 of which are at home. If they go 2-2 against them and 4-1 against Washington, Chicago, Jacksonville, and New York they end up 12-4 with a likely first round bye.

One game gets them to the NFC Championship game, and then anything can happen. So how do they blow it and not reach the conference title game?

What you said made me nervous/anxious. I'm not sure if my nerves could take it.

Or worse, someone finally figures out a way to stop Murray and the ground game.

This is what scares me, but for another reason. It scares me because, unless the line suffers multiple injuries, or we just start abandoning the run again, I don't think the ground game can be stopped.

We are not only beating them schematically, but we are wearing them down physically and overpowering the opponent with regularity.

It's ones of those things where, even if they know it's coming, there's not much they can do to stop it.

Case in point: our 3rd and short run game has been money all year. Defenses know we're going to run Murray straight down their throats, and they cannot do anything about it.

Yeah, this is the third time a quick whistle cost us. First two we were at least able to challenge and get the ball (though we lost out on two probable TD returns). This one was the worst though since we couldn't even challenge due to the refs' incompetence. And there have been a ton of other huge officiating mistakes throughout the league as well. Just this past week there were two BS ejections of players for contact with an official.

They were 6-0 and lost to New England. They won their next six (not seven) to go 12-1 then lost in the Jessica Simpson game 10-6 to go 12-2.

Their last 7 game winning streak previous to the 1992 season was in 1983 when they started 7-0 and lost to the Raiders on MNF (40-38!) to go 7-1.
