The Dallas team in the first half...

[Sheik]

The Dallas team that showed up in the first half is the Dallas team that can beat any team in the league.

The Dallas team that came out flat in the second half and scored just 3 points and had a turnover is the team that can lose to any team in the league.

I'll take it, but hopefully next week they'll stomp the shit out of the Eagles and leave no doubt.

Hard to tell how impressive tonight's performance was considering the opponent. They were kinda in a no-win situation. If you lose, you're December chokers. If you win, well, that's what you were supposed to do. Next week will bring a stiffer test.

"Best players" being pretty subjective.

I'd say Lee absolutely deserves mention on that list and I'd even throw Tyron up there as well.

I like Rat but he's not the force he was a few years back and Austin missess too much time to be ahead of a guy like Lee who has literally been one of the more important pieces to to the team.

Tampa Bay is a bad team. They stink. Thankfully the Cowboys got the win and were able to rest Ware and Rat in the second half.

I didnt see them as flat, it was highly unlikely they were going to duplicate the first half performance. Plus they rested Ratliff and Ware the entire 2nd half, and ran the ball a ton just to get the game over.

I mostly agree. What they did in the 2nd half is what they should have done to kill off the Detroit game. The turnover was bad but it is really the only thing that kept Tampa in a position to freak us out about a possible comeback.

And that play probably never would have happened if Smith hadnt got caught for holding on Jones' first run. It was a hold, but it was no worse than alot of the junk I see them ignore on Ware all the time.

Every week bob starts with some new campaign about why we are so bad and how everything is wrong here. I don't even listen to the guy anymore and I used to love bad radio.

He spent the whole summer saying Jerry was broke, running out of cash and that is why he is cutting veterans and not signing anyone. Then Jerry starts handing out cash all over and he will not discuss the topic anymore.

He has done this over the past year with a number of topics, obsesses over them till they are proven to be wrong and then he just invents a new one.

Felix, Jenkins, lee, Doug free, Tyron smith, demarco Murray, DEz Bryant are all very good players but it doesn't fit with his current whining so he belittles them.

Anyone who thinks lee, smith and Bryant are not set up to do great things is an idiot.

I used to think bob was really really smart, and he still is but he let's these dumb agendas he creates dominate is show and the pre game shows on the ticket. He beat the Jerry is broke thing to death because it got all the people who hate jerry calling in and responding, then when summer was over and Jerry actually spent a bunch of cash he never brings it ip again.

And for fun he spent last year saying the reason we were not good was because the players were all overpaid and comfortable, then a few months later his story was Jerry is cheap and running out of money because of the stadium and he doesnt want to pay anyone.

I told him he was crazy with this notion on twitter and he responded to me with an approximation of what Jerry pays a month for the mortgage.....I unfollowed him and don't listen to him anymore except the pre game show....

I am glad I don't listen to his radio show because I think his blog articles are top notch.

He allows his agendas to peak through every now and again but he is very fair and analytical about everything else.
