NFL  > Dallas Cowboys  > Dallas vs Atlanta
October 26, 2009, 10:02 AM
The game between the two teams yesterday surprised me somewhat. I was expecting Atlanta to do as they did their first drive the entire game, and as they've been doing since last year. They're a pretty good team.

However, I was pleasantly surprised by the 'Boys as they finally got off the porch and went hunting. I had earlier this week mentioned to someone that this game would tell if the 'Boys were going to be able to hunt with the big dogs or continue pooping with the puppies, and at least for this game, they decided to go hunting w/ the big dogs.........:-)

Yes, there were too many penalties,but all in all, I was pleased with their play. I even stood up and hollered a couple of times.....Lol......... The offense started clicking in the 2nd quarter, and played as well as I've seen, and the defense is doing what they should have been doing all year. They recorded 4 sacks, 2 INT's, and 2 fumbles. Good day at the office.For all of you Romo haters out there, try this one on for size;

21 of 29 for 311 yards and three touchdowns. Not to mention he eluded 3 would be sackers and tossed a TD to Crayton.

Miles Austin is a 4th year UNDRAFTED player, similar to Romo, and he is coming into his own now. 8 catches for 173 yards for an encore of his 250 yard day against KC. Will Roy Williams be a bust? He may not be the so called #1 receiver, but I believe he can play a big role in this offense, if nothing else but be a decoy. A couple of passes thrown his way was near his feet, so those can't be blamed on him.

Nice punt return Crayton!...

Now, we need to stay consistent with the play on both sides of the ball, because the schedule is not going to be easier, with the exception of the Redskins and Oakland. But, even those two teams shouldn't be overlooked.
