The team from Big D whipped up on the franchise with the big-time D on Sunday night. By embarrassing the battered Bears, the Cowboys offered a powerful statement about which team could supplant the Super Bowl XLI runners-up as the NFC's representative in Arizona this season.
Oh, and Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo continued to deliver this loud and potentially lucrative message to owner Jerry Jones, as well: Time to quit dawdling, Jerry, and reward the fifth-year veteran with a long-term contract extension. Perhaps drawn down to the level of the pathetic Chicago offense in the first half, the high-powered Dallas attack sleepwalked through the opening 30 minutes, with eight penalties, a turnover and countless mental lapses that led to a 3-3 score at halftime. But once Romo and the Cowboys woke up, it was lights-out for the Bears. As Dallas took control of the game on both sides of the line of scrimmage, Romo began shredding the Chicago defense. He hit 13 of 18 passes for 189 yards and two touchdowns, in the process compiling a gaudy 146.5 passer rating for the half. For the game, he was 22-for-35 for 329 yards.
Upside: Dallas is 3-0 since the 1999, Owens has been exceptionally happy, and who ever though that Anthony Henry would be leading the league with an astonishing 4 interceptions and 1 Td in 3 games.
Downside: Flozel cost the Cowboys 3 penalties, his 7th of the year. This is not acceptable from a lineman who only had a total of 5 penalties in the 2006 season, J.Jones has been receiving to much playing time, and Marion Barber hasn't had a concussion or steroid problem, yet. Barber said "I used to bang my head against the wall because I had this rage in me. Now, I grew my hair out on purpose so when I come in contact with a defensive player, my helmet pop's off and they'll get all dreadlocks and a black forehead."
