Dallas Cowboys Off to a Strong Start in 2009

The last few seasons for the Dallas Cowboys have caused the team and fans serious heartbreak. The 07′ 13-3 season ended with a disappointing loss to the New York Giants in the divisional playoffs, the 08′ season ended in a 9-7 season missing the playoffs. The last game of the regular season against the Philadelphia Eagles was an embarrassment, 44-6 loss.

Tony Romo was appointed the next great quarterback prematurely perhaps – that doesn’t excuse the rest of the team under performing over the years.

The NFC east will be very difficult to win for the Cowboys, the New York Giants look very strong thus far and the Philadelphia Eagles are strong as well.

The Cowboys have, if not the best, one of the best running duos in the NFL with RB Marion “The Barbarian” Barber and Felix Jones, – during the colder months running the ball will become even more important.

The Cowboys defense will need to improve because even with QB Tony Romo, RB Marion Barber, RB Felix Jones, TE Jason Witten, WR Patrick Crayton, and WR Roy E. Williams – they may not be able to out score opponents every single Sunday.

The Cowboys play in the very difficult NFC East with the New York Giants and the Philadelphia Eagles – playing these teams twice a year will show how worthy the Cowboys are to contend in the NFC.

While the Cowboys stadium is nice and quite the spectacle, a nice stadium won’t help a team win games – the Cowboys must do that themselves.

The Cowboys have a very good, capable team that can win many games if they play up to their potential. Cowboys need to end their playoff drought – going over 10 years without winning a playoff game for the Dallas Cowboys in unacceptable.
