Cowboys win their first ever game at Lambeau... 27-16

This game reminded me of one of those games that Romo throws out several times a season. Buffalo last year, Philly..you know...Red zone interception, two intentional grounding calls tonight a fumble... This seemed like a bad game where he can't get anything done. I wonder if he's over came it so much that this is worst game he's going to throw out? And the 'boys still win going away. Romo:17 of 130 for 267. 1 TD 1 int. And all he cares about is the scoreboard.

TO: What can you say about that player?? He didn't have a big first game, had a few drops, but yet he still announced his presence with authority. Watch the Felix Jones' TD run. TO goes from a dead stop, 5 yards behind him, and outruns 26 to the end-zone. Amazing. He probably could've caught Felix if he wanted. He basically made 2 blocks on that play. And he made a great block on a Barber run too. He also showed great hustle running down field on the interception return and making the tackle.

Felix Jones: Jason Garrett said, "This guy is special." Proved it again. 3 Td's in 3NFL games.

Barber: I don't think that Barbarian describes him accurately. Is there even a word for what he does? I guess he's not a finisher according to Madden because he fumbled. Wonder how much the ribs had to do with that? Why didn't Wade challenge that? He was pretty damn close to being down. Barber looks like my brother only very athletic and black.


Romo: Already covered about his "bad" game, but 13-2 in his first 15 road games. Tied for the best ever. And people say he can't win the big one?

Jason Witten: Separated shoulder, making blocks left and right, and making great catches and plays. He's not under-rated in Dallas, but does the rest of NFL fans know how great he is? He is amazing and the best I have seen in a long long time. He's the real deal.

Tellus: Made some special team plays, committed a special team penalty, made a great run and got into a fight. It was with Jovorskie's half brother from another mista or sista Jermichael Finley. Not sure of the actual familial relationship. I'm sure Tellus, Jorvorskie and Jermichael have smoked a bowl together. Cracks me up. Hey Madden, if you rip another players helmet off, that's usually the penalty. I guess the A&M-tu stuff never goes away, even in the league. On his 37 yard catch and run and he looked great hurdling AJ Hawk. I don't think anyone was in the picture for the first 30 yards.


Miles Austin: I loved the way he was playing in presseason, and while his injury hurt the offense, it didn't hurt on the W/L. He made 2 great catches and was over 100 yards and a TD. He can't be 100% if he got chased down by a safety.

Pass rush: I'm not sure the total amount of sacks, but it seems like for consecutive weeks that Cowboys get pressure but can't finish the job. Damarcus Ware is the man. He's fun to watch. At the end of the game though, the sacks are there.
DaMarcus got 2, Henry 2, and Ratlif one?

Defense: After the first couple of series, it looked like they couldn't stop Green Bay. But they shut them down when it counted in the red zone, and only gave up 9 non garbage time points. Did anyone else notice Roy wasn't in the game? I didn't even think about it until Hamlin committed the holding in the endzone. Stupid play.

Summary: A win on the road in the division is huge anytime.

PS:
Rick Gosselin: He's probably the greatest writer I have ever read when it comes to the NFL. I love his style, I love his draft knowledge, but... "Packers are going to win because the Cowboys have never won in Green Bay. 0-5." Seriously, what kind of prediction is that? There's a first time for everything. Cowboys maybe have 10 players left from the last time they played in Lambeau. And none of them were born before the Ice Bowl. It's be similar to say the the Cowboys will win at Texas Stadium because Favre doesn't play well there.

Ok, so this post may be from "2008", but since the Cowboys are about to play the Packers again here in 2009, I thought I would comment and say, the 27-16 score from 2008, seems to be a pretty good bet for tomorrows game.
