Dallas Cowboys Season in Review

Considering how the season started it ended about same. In between were a lot of highs and lows. Both NY Giants games seemed to be the lowest points in the season. The Eagles would like to know what the Giants have that they haven't . The three Eagles victories along with the Saints road win are classified as the highs of the year.

We watched Tony Romo wake up after a horrible first Giants and Denver games to set Cowboys season records. Most attempts, completion, QB rating fewest interceptions are now records owned by Tony. We saw a team get better by subtracting T O from the team. We watched Miles Austin become a true number one and Roy Williams fail on the biggest stage.

We watched the Cowboys defense finish number two in the league in scoring defense. We started with a platoon between Mike Jenkins and Orlando Scandrick and ended with Jenkins in the Pro Bowl. All totaled the Cowboys put nine in and that tied the Eagles for most.

We watched "Wade's Guys" perform at a high level..Keith Brookings and Igor Oshanski both performed over what was predicted as did Gerald Sensabaugh. We also saw MartyB with so much potential live down to his. We watched the good and the bad of the Oline. Running wild against NO and Philadelphia,yet being eaten alive by GB and Minnesota.

We stayed healthy until the final game and suffered the consequences when Flozell went down early against the Vikings. If not for a horrible field goal kicker and the inability to make fourth and one, we might still be playing. We saw the offense get yards at will and yet struggle to score.
All in all twelve wins came as a surprise to nearly everyone. If you include the real predictions and not "Homer Calls" this team exceeded every one's expectations. Avenging a 44-6 drubbing by the Eagles was sweet satisfaction only to be eclipsed by a blow out loss to the Vikings a week later.

In conclusion this off season is going to be interesting. The Cowboys have nearly everyone under contract with only Miles Austin as a significant free agent and he is restricted. This team actually has a number one pick and a pick in all seven rounds. Wade got a two year extension and except for Dat Nguyen, all coaches are coming back. This season was a victory in the sense the team won the NFC East and won a playoff game. It could have been better but judging by what happened the year before all is good.

Go Cowboys..
