Week 9 Analysis: 7-1

Wow, it's hard to want to recap this game after the incredible Colts/Pats game last night. That was an amazing game. If you want to know my thoughts about it, just ask. Otherwise, here's the recap of the game played by America's Team:

Domination.

Our offense couldn't be stopped, our defense did exactly the opposite.

Offense:
Romo launched 324 yds with 3 TDs (and probably the stupidest INT anyone will ever see). Only one wide receiver caught a pass for the Cowboys. But it more than made up for our lack of spreading it around. The player caught 10 passes for 174 yds. Jason Witten caught 3 passes for 77 yds! I couldn't imagine the difficult decisions facing defensive coordinators that play against the Cowboys. Do you blitz your linebackers towards Romo or do pull back on the blitz and double Jason Witten? It seems like everytime they blitz Romo, he would pop it out to Witten, but everytime they tightened up on Witten Romo would have plenty of time to set up something long downfield with the player.

I'm very proud of our rushing game. Jones and Barber complimented each other well. Jones had 13 attempts for 57 yards, Barber had 16 for 56 yds. It's nice having two guys that share duties yet still both average about 45-60 yds per game each. It's tough for teams to come back against us when we are eating clock and moving chains in the fourth quarter. As long as we go into the 4th quarter up, things will most likely go pretty well. These guys hardly fumble, too!

Defense:
D. Ware is a beast! That's about it. Oh...and Hamlin caught an INT, but mostly D. Ware is a beast!

That special announcement I promised will come tomorrow! All I lack is a picture, which I will get today. C ya then!
