Cowboys are busily strutting around and showing all who will take notice just how good they can be. After a through 44-7 beat down of the Buffalo Bills in Week 10, the Boys are again feeling good about themselves. This was just the kind of win that could kick-start the Cowboys push to the playoffs. DeMarco Murray once again showcased his remarkable rookie-of-the-year skills while the much traveled, Laurent Robinson might just be the 3rd wide-out needed.
Inexplicably to Steven, DeMarcus Ware has been fined $15,000 for roughing the passer in Sunday’s win. The hit did not seem to be all that violent of a hit. Steven’s not even sure he hit the helmet. Jeff asks those who dole out the fines to remember that the game is not played at super slow-mo.
The Injury Update from Valley Ranch brings good news. RB Felix Jones is back at practice and looks to play in the game, though not as a starter. Jeff defends the decision to take Murray over Jones as the starting tail-back. WR Miles Austin still sits out with his hamstring injury. LB Sean (thumper) Lee will continue to play with a cast on his hand.
Looking ahead to the Washington Redskins at 3-6 has the guys terribly optimistic. Sure the Redskins would love to play spoiler for Cowboys playoff run, and their defense held the Cowboys without a TD last time they played. This is a retooled team with more weapons from last time and the guys see a big win in the immediate future.
Not being a Cowboys hater Steven, but they beat a Buffalo Bills team who’s defense can’t stop anybody. So I don’t really see it as a turning point or a catalyst for a playoff run. It was a case of a middle of the road team beating another middle of the road team. The Redskins however, are not a middle of the road team and the Cowboys should win easily.
I don’t like the fine on DeMarcus Ware. Why don’t they just play flag football at this point? Or two hand touch… but, only around the numbers. If they touch a player on the helmet or around the knees they will still be fined and/or suspended.
I apparently gave the Cowboys too much credit. They had a hard time getting past Rex Grossman and the ‘Skins today.
Hate to say I told you so… but… Sorry Steven!
