Yeh the Texans lost too but at least they were competitve. Man those playoff hopes are getting slimmer and slimmer.
I'm a semi-Cowboy fan, and I expected Philly to roll. They've killed the Cowboys the last 3 years or so. Cowboys look like a 7-9 or so team.
Hmm...we're aren't going to discuss every Cowboy game, are we? Dallas had a few dumb mistakes which may have cost them the game. In the beginning, David Akers, the Eagles K, put on his jukes and got a 1st down on a fake. We also threw someone down after the whistle and looked pretty bad in the secondary. Had some good pass rushing early, but slowed down drastically later. DM just killed the D. If Dallas had the WR's covered, he ran. If they tried to get him, he passed and got a TD. It looked terrible. As for positives, the kickoff return for 100yds and a TD was nice. The offense was ok. QC got 201 yds with a pretty good completion rate, but he fumbles twice on throws. (when you pull back, your arm goes foward but the ball slips out.) PHI also pressured him a little and he doesn't do so well then. Emmit was ok. Didn't really throw down field, but that may have been due to the PHI D. Plus, not having Larry Allen helps them too. Well, we got another tough game next...hmm...and you don't have to make another thread for that too. (btw, our offense still hasn't clicked yet. Its no excuse, but we're still not used to it.)
Of course, there's a difference when one team is in the game throughout and playing hard and another is literally being embarrassed. It should also say something that the team being embarrassed is not the expansion team.
No offense Cowboy fans but who cares if the Cowboys won or lost, this forum is for the Texans, Comets and Astros....in other words "Houston" teams. It appears a Texan fan started this thread for no other reason then to take a jab at the Cowboys.......give it a rest
The only problem I have with this thread is that we play Philly next week...so if we give up a similar number of points or (god forbid) MORE points, it will come right back and bite us in the ass.
Yikes, I didn't think about that Raven,...but one thing that is true is the Texans' defense IS better than the cowgirls defense after all....so I feel better regarding that!
I was going to wake up at 4am in the morning to watch that Cowboys game (Sydney, Aus). Thank god I didnt! I follow both the Cowboys and Texans....great week so far!
Dallas was actually doing pretty good until they started kicking their own a$$. They had almost 100 yards in penalties, and fumbled 3 times. The rookies made several mistakes, and the play calling was pretty bland. I still think the Cowboys will end up with an 8-8 record. They do however need a serious upgrade in talent at RB, CB, O-Line, backup LB, and QB.
Philly was kickin Dallas butt with or without "Dallas mistakes". Had Philly's starters played the whole game,they coulda put 60 on the board. Dallas is a 5 win team........at best.
Here's the difference...everybody was talking trash about how the Cowboys were going to be in the playoffs. NOBODY actually thought the Texans would come close to a winning record, much less the playoffs. In the end...it looks like the Cowboys are light years behind where they thought they were.
