Cowboys 34 - Bears 10
Thirty four points on the Bears (should've been 48). Twenty-seven of those points being scored by offense. Tony Romo throwing for more than 300 yards....on the Bears. Terrell Owens showing the world what happens when even the Bears defense tries to play man against him. Moving at will on the stifiling, smothering, NFC Champion, terror of the midway Bears, in their house. Can I get a "How bout them Cowboys"?
To be fair, the Bears Offense was positively anemic, but they've been that way for the better part of the last two years. The Boys defense, which is still not what it should be, did an admirable job holding them down. I knew that we'd be able to do that, knowing Grossman. What worried me, obviously, was the Bears Defense. I thought we'd have a pretty hard fought battle with them, hopefully scoring 17 or so points and praying that'd be enough. However, the Dallas offense continues to surprise and impress me, and they absolutely shredded the Bears defense about as much as any team has over the last two years. Seriously, if it wasn't for all the Cowboys penalties and Patrick Crayton dropping a sure, in his numbers, TD we'd have hung 48 points on the Bears, in Chicago. All this from a Cowboys offense lacking it's third best player. Yes, I say third best. Tony Romo is edging out Jason Witten now. He's for real, absolutely for real. I always had my doubts about Romo, but they're erased now. Jerry Jones needs to hand him a contract tomorrow before he starts asking for $100 mil.
The rest of the season looks bright now. The Cowboys are the best team in the NFC and they're in the drivers seat in the east. It's a long way to go before we prove we can hang with the AFC teams, but even they aren't looking like their old selves right now (excepting the Pats). Still damned early in the season, but damned if it isn't an exciting time to be a Cowboy.
And yes, I know Auburn sucks this year. Frankly, at this moment, I don't care.
One more thing. I need John Madden's job. Seriously. Every time I said something during the game to Deborah, Madden repeated me verbatim seconds later. If I can throw out the same color commentary that Madden does, then I seriously want to start bidding on his spot. I will do it for $75k a year, travel expenses, medical and dental and a retirement plan. Lets see Madden low ball that. Seriously NBC, give me a call.
