Oh, whoa is me, and people wonder why Cowboys fans are hated so much. We lose a game and the end of the world is near. If anybody has ever played this game at any organizational level you know that you pick your ### up and get ready to play the next game. That's right, there's a game to be played next week. And the week after that, and the week after that. You don't sulk and feel sorry for yourself or make any indication as to who's fault it is. It's over. You move on. You suck it up and get prepared to line up with your next opponent. If you're going to mope, you turn in your jersey and pads to the equipment room and make your exit.Yes, we would have liked to win that game, and should have won that game. It's over. We lost. Reasons for the loss will be addressed in the film room and on the practice field. That's how you fix it. You work on your shortcomings and mistakes in preparation for the next game. That's what everybody does at any level, and you can bet your bottom dollar that that's what the Cowboys will do.Enough of the big stage. The opening of Jerry World is over. It was an embarrassment. Ever been embarrassed? Ever wanted retribution? If you have a gut you have. So we're 1-1, big deal. So are the Patriots, Steelers, Packers, Eagles, and Chargers. And let's get off of Tony Romo's butt. He's only helped quarterback this team to the 3rd most points scored in the league thus far(65), behind only the Saints(93) and the Ravens(69). The Steelers have put up a whopping 27. The Patriots? 34. Yeah. The Chargers? 50. Ya, Romo had a big stinker, but I've never had a greater sense that this one will finally sink in. The guy can play, let's not forget that. His career QB rating of 94.2 is only bettered by Peyton Manning and Tom Brady among active QBs. So who is it exactly that anybody wishes to replace him with anyway?I've said since the offseason that this team will have no trouble putting points on the board. That it is the defense we need to focus on. I pointed out opening day morning in this very thread that this unit is looking at 5-6 new players and it will take some time for them to gel. No sacks and no forced turnovers are killing us. Yes, Wade is a sorry head coach. That much is clear. But until Mike Holmgren is introduced as the next head coach, I still have faith in Wade getting this defense to perform to the level that they are capable of.Today may have been the first day of fall, but that doesn't mean that the potential of this Cowboys season will fall as well. Nature is an amazing thing, just as the NFL season is in it's entirety. Leaves change and turn different colors, as does the integrity of different teams. Let's give this team and in particular the defense a little time before we decide to rake them up and bag them.Parcells always said that nobody knows anything until after Thanksgiving, and he's right. There are 14 teams currently sitting at 1-1. Let's allow them a little more time for them to show their true colors.
