The Dallas Cowboys Fall Short
This was perhaps the most anticipated game of the NFL football season thus far. The first ever regular season game in the new Cowboys Stadium, a mega dome for America's football team, and by association, America's stadium.
With a larger "space ship like" stadium and a party atmosphere comes high expectations for the actual team. Jerry Jones isn't shy about spending money - hopefully the Cowboys on field achievements can equal that of the new stadium.
A plasma television above the field was bigger than any high definition unit in the history of the world. The picture looked crystal clear, just as clear as the plasma TV set I watched the game on. Too bad it may interfere with punks and kickoffs at times. Not sure who planned that?
The running game of the Cowboys is fantastic, they are averaging around 200 yards per game. If they can keep averaging 200 yards per game remains to be seen - a valuable running game is a quarterback's best friend.
The Cowboys defense will need to improve because even with QB Tony Romo, RB Marion Barber, RB Felix Jones, TE Jason Witten, WR Patrick Crayton, and WR Roy E. Williams - they may not be able to out score opponents every single Sunday.
The Cowboys play in the very difficult NFC East with the New York Giants and the Philadelphia Eagles - playing these teams twice a year will show how worthy the Cowboys are to contend in the NFC.
The question the Cowboys need to answer is who are the locker room leaders. Romo will need to take the next step, manage the game and make plays when necessary and not be "Tony Turnover".
The Cowboys have a very good, capable team that can win many games if they play up to their potential. Cowboys need to end their playoff drought - going over 10 years without winning a playoff game for the Dallas Cowboys in unacceptable.
