Ha ha, to true. I think to many fans bought in to much to the good feelings and media attention from last week. Personally I spent all last week thinking to myself that it they gave us way to much respect. We did good but it was way to much for the first game of the season.

Griffin is definitely ahead of schedule but we have to remember he's still a rookie and he still has a bit of a ways to go before he takes that next step as a passer. Sad thing though is he's already a better passer then any QB we've had since Brad Johnson.

Agreed. We're scoring TDs now and not settling for field goals. Every win is hard to come by. The Browns put up a good fight, the Pats went down to the Cards, the Giants were on the ropes and, of course, the uber talented Cowboys only scored 7 in a loss to the Seahawks.

1-1 after 2 road games to the Saints and Rams is nothing to be ashamed of. We're averaging 35 a game and are plus 5 in turnovers. Now let's take care of business against the Bungles.

Maybe the Rams aren't half bad? Just tossing that out there.

The funny thing too was that I was pissed off as much as everyone else, but Josh Morgan makes this team better and on top of that -- he seems amped up as much as everyone else (including fans). I can't hate him when I see that in a player.

Shanahan is just trying to get a leg up on negotiating Cundiff's next contract.
"Well Billy, Bruce and I have reviewed your contract demands and while we want to resign you we believe your asking price is a bit high. For starters, the St. Louis game where you missed that game tying field goal in the 4th quarter......"

So, who wants to start the Scud's Studs and Smoot's Smackdown threads?

No they aren't, Sam is a great qb and he is showing it this year

[Bushead]

Man was I deflated, but i've calmed down now. It was a very odd came from beginning to end: Rams spotted skins 7 right off the bat; blown calls; broken plays; Redskins Defense collapses; Stephen Jackson benched; Out of control chippiness; Another blocked punt; a late TO by London Fletcher to give Skins a chance; bone head play.

I mean my lord. I feel like this was the most unusual game i've been a part of.

Thats disappointing. Glad we got Jenkins

Jenkins is starting to look like a reach. He's not stout enough but, that can't be the reason he was drafted. Baker if/when healthy may go ahead of him.

They really aren't. They should have beaten the Lions last week, and did a incredible job holding them to the amount of points they did.

[skinsfaninok]

Not having our number 1 WR killed us also.

there is a cowboys blog i read and laugh to myself, especially after disappointing losses, like today to the Seachodes and i want to use a phrase everyone uses on their blog when explaining a loss to a team they felt they should have won. They like to use the phrase "playing down to the level of your opponent"....thats my favorite. But in all honesty, Rams played well enough to beat the Lions last week, probably should have won. I knew they be bringing it at home, Bradford is the truth son. Guy was straight ballin

[TheMalcolmConnection]

It did, but I really like the other guys stepping up. Outside of his ridiculous last play (not only that, he had the first down if he just walks backward) Josh Morgan is a decent possession guy for us.
