Cowboys... Not Done Yet

So, even I muust admit I was ready to give up on the season after the dreadful Monday Night Football perfromance. A move I had been calling for for weeks, had blown up in Parcells face. Benching Bledsoe and going to Romo against the Giants was not the shot in the arm I thought it would be. The team looked for the most part... embarrassing. I was ready to pack up my jerseys and hats and let them rest until next September. The Boys had a rough game coming up against the Panthers... I did not have high hopes. Then they played the game.

Cowboys looked a little flat at first, but then something happened. Romo started moving around, working the ball to everyone, and the offense looked like the explosive unit I thought they would be. Owens and Glenn stretching things along the outside, Witten (finally involved in the offense, now that he doesnt have to stay in and block for the immobile Bledsoe) cleaning things up in the middle of the field, and a dominant Julius Jones running all over the Panthers. It really was the best case for a team that could have mailed it in, but didnt.

Now I have high hopes for the rest of the season. I think the offense will continue to play at this high level. They seem to respond and have a swagger with Romo that they simply didnt with Bledsoe. He gives them the best chance to win with the current offensive line. Plus he seems to have connected with Owens. If the defense can stay consistent, and stop their rollercoaster type play of the first 7 weeks then look out. They are only 1 back on the Giants and have a game against them late in the season. It should be an interesting second half for the Boys.
