RG3 looks good, Shanahan always finds a way to fuck it up though haha.

I'm excited about our D, Brandon Carr and healthy Mo Claiborne on the corners, Sensabaugh stepping up safety, and Ware wreaking havoc at the line.

One more year of hoping Romo doesn't choke

Always so much promise, then the season starts.

So Ochostinko is still living in the slammer like hes still a Bengirl

Apparently the fight with his wife was because she found a receipt for condoms......best comment on a local sports channels FB page "Johnson is the last guy on the planet that needs condoms. He spent a year here and didn't catch a thing."

I pretty much approve of most if not everything Goodell has done since he's become commissioner. If you look at it in an unbiased light, he's only doing it for the good of the game. There's no way he thinks that suspending star players and/or coaches makes him look like a good guy in any way. If anything, not having star power on the field might even lose money for the NFL and lower his approval rating, if it exists.

Yet he does it anyway... I wonder why?

You know everything they do is for the good of the league, aka the business. I'm not saying they don't personally care about the players or their current and future well-being, but they're doing everything they can to make the league look good. All about the $$$ at the end of the day.

He'll be just like TO when his career is over. Broke and owing on back child support.

I sure hope not. We'll see though. The season will tell all.

The Dallas secondary looks much improved this season. Bout the Interior O-line looks to be in shambles.

You guys have only one decent receiver too (Austin can't stay healthy) You guys might have to rely on the D to win games. Looking forward to the Thanksgiving games

Tell me about it brah. I was calling for them to yank Romo halfway through the 1st quarter

Too many noobs, O-line looks fucked. 10-6 and I will be over the moon haha. Shit I'd take 9-7.

Not too many guys stay on a team for 8 years anymore. Hopefully he signs with somebody else, I've always thought he was an interesting player.

He was a free agent and we just let him walk when we signed BenJarvis Green-Ellis and have some other younger guys on the roster.

I still think he has some left even though he's I think 32 y.o. Assuming he stays healthy and on the team I bet you're thrilled to see him at least twice this year

We've already signed enough of your failures and turned them into legitimate players, like that Benson guy

3Com Park, Monster (Cable) Stadium, and they've been back to Candlestick Park for a while now.

I can't wait for a new stadium. I haven't been to any other football stadiums but I can't imagine any other stadiums being more decrepit than the Stick. Good memories there but it's old as fuck, and the only thing I'm jealous of about the Cowboys is their amazing stadium

Now that the team can play worth a damn and there'll be a new stadium in a few years, they might find a sponsor for it again.

Dallas' running game looked good and the secondary is much improved. Romo was typical Romo making the Oline look better than what it really is.The Giants looked pretty lackluster and their secondary is VERY thin. Overall pretty boring game. Ogletree stepped it up
