I cannot say I exactly called it, but i had a sneaky suspicion that the biggest letdown of the NFL in the Dallas Cowboys would put up a fight against the surging New York Football Giants. I never imagined however the 13 point shellacking that the Cowboys laid down at New Meadowlands Stadium. Dallas led by their interim head coach Jason Garett and the newly dubbed stud Jon Kitna, marched into New Jersey with a portion of their lost swagger a proceeded to beat down Eli Manning and his boys in blue.
This game on paper seemed like it would go in another direction to say the least, the last time the the Cowboys won was the same as the last time the Giants lost, Five weeks ago. Even the Stadium seemed confused, losing power two times during the game. Jon Kitna, yes Jon Kitna threw for 327 yards and three touchdowns with a passer rating of 124, which is absurd. This post cannot go without talking about Dez Bryant who is going to be a star (no pun intended) in this league. The Fox broadcasters joked about the Cowboys going 9-7 and making the playoffs, while I wont go that far i think they will win half of their remaining games, most of which are against quality opponents.
As an avid listener to the Scott Van Pelt show on ESPN radio, I listed to Mr. Van Pelt himself rank the Giants as the #2 best team in the NFL last week, I wonder what will be said about that tomorrow on the show. All I'm trying to say is that this was an impressive win for Jerry Jones' boys from Arlington. Let's see what next week brings, maybe the Dallas Cowboys won't be such a let down after all.
