weak schedule, but that's what you get with a weak team.

[BNaylor]

Nah! Weak schedule? How so? Playing the Superbowl Champion Giants twice in the 2008 schedule?

Regardless, at least pre-season game #3 turned out better considering the Cowboys beat the Houston Texans 23-22. Some major errors but IMO the 4th quarter was worth watching. I recall Dallas had the 3rd overall best offense in the NFL last season but we shall see what happens this year.

However, pre-season games really don't mean much considering the NY Giants lost their first 3 pre-season games last year but went on to win the NFC and Superbowl.

[BNaylor]

Final pre-season game. Cowboys 16, Vikings 10. Looking better. Now on to the regular season.

Ha! Ha!. Thanks for the advice SL. Thank goodness preseason is over. Are you going to start a Packers Regular Season thread? May the better team win but I always had great respect for the Packers.

The only thing I may get concerned with is people that troll or have nothing but one sided comments especially the ones that really did not participate in any of or most of our last years NFL threads in which overall we had great discussions and fun considering the competitiveness of the NFL fans.

[BNaylor]

Dallas over Cleveland, 28-10. First game of the regular season. 1-0.

[VR43000GT]

From what I heard Owens had a hell of a game. I also hear Favre did too so HA! Oh....wait, that's right, he doesn't play for the Packers.

[VR43000GT]

Alright, I am doing a pregame bet on the score. Let's say Cowboys 31, Eagles 17. We'll see.

Good call but man what a game! It had me on the edge of my chair until the end. Cowboys 41, Eagles 37. (2-0). But too many turnovers and penalties. 380 total yards. 312 passing and 68 rushing.

Ahh the Cowboys thread... A miffed QB/RB exchange saved the Boys from a .500 record to start the season Will the Pack be able to continue their impressive record against Dallas for gaes plyed at Lambeau??? I think so... and this is from a Bears fan

Well, look who the cat brought in. Welcome back dude.

Good question considering Dallas is 0-5 at Lambeau Field.

IMO it will be down to the quarterbacks and the least amount of turnovers. I think Dallas is favored by 3 points but that doesn't mean much. If Dallas wins Romo will be the first Cowboys QB to do so at Lambeau. Good luck and may the best team win.

[VR43000GT]

Best of luck Bob, will be seeing your boys' in the Bay tonight.

[BNaylor]

My hats off to GB but the offense and defense just ran out of steam. Not one of the Cowboy's better games but man Barber had some excellent rushing yardage and Austin out shined TO.

I guess we can lay the zero wins at Lambeau Field to rest.

Cowboys 27 (3-0) , Packers 16.

Speaking of other games hard to believe it was the same Eagles defense that played the Cowboys last week. They pounced on the Steelers and Ben. How many sacks?

And the Bears loss to Tampa Bay? I bet that made Brian Griese feel good. ......

[VR43000GT]

Yeah, I was disappointed with the offense of GB. I have not seen that poor of performance from the offense yet this season. The Cowboys defense seemed to do well too. However, Cowboys MVP this game was hands down, Barber. He and his cement hair did a hell of a job breaking through the defensive line.
