Cowboy Football, September 19, 2005

I am writing late Monday night with a very very sad heart. The Cowboy defense played a near perfect game up until the last four minites of the game with Washington. They then gave up two long touchdown passes to Santana Moss to lose the game. The deep coverage was not there. Roy Williams was to supply this on at least one of the touchdowns. Aaron Glenn was beaten on both touchdowns. Also, the offense failed to get points early in the game when the opportunity was there. Cortez missed a very makeable field goal in the first quarter. Dallas' offense was also very conservative for most of the game and I think that obviously hurt them by not being able to put more points on the board. Drew Bledsoe and Terry Glenn both played good games, but Julius Jones struggled running the ball. Overall, most Cowboy fans now wish they were in Japan. This was not a game for the faint-hearted. Hopefully, the game with San Francisco next week will be better. Even in my now current low state, I do think the boys are quite a bit better than last year.
