Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo is having another solid regular season like he did a couple years ago.

What people need to remember is that Romo’s performance in the regular season means nothing.

Romo’s reputation is that when the games become more important he starts to choke.

If Romo is going to become an elite quarterback he needs to perform like this in the playoffs, and lead the Cowboys to a win.

In the end I’ll be excited when he wins in the playoss, because that is what it is all about.

The Dallas Cowboys have quietly climbed the ranks of the NFC East as they have won three straight games.

This Sunday the Cowboys play in a huge game as they play the Philadelphia Eagles this week who is in a first place tie for the NFC East.

The Philadelphia Eagles are coming off a huge win against the New York Giants.

In that game the Eagles defense intercepted Giants quarterback Eli Manning twice raising their total to 14, which is third in the league.

That means the game will be a defining moment for Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo as he vowed change earlier this year.

This is also the first time the Cowboys have played the Eagles since the blow out 44-6 loss to the Eagles in regular season finale.

In the end if the Cowboys don’t win Sunday they will most likely miss the playoffs again as their schedule only gets tougher now.

The National Football League caught Dallas Cowboys left tackle Flozell Adams for the third time leg whipping a defensive end.

The NFL dropped the ball as they only fined Adams a measely $7,500 for it.

That is down right appaulling as in week two a leg whip hurt New York Giants defensive end Justin Tuck.

The fine will do nothing as Adams simply doesn’t care as long as the leg whip doesn’t get penalized.

In the end something will only be done when a player breaks his neck due to the trip.

Dallas Cowboys left tackle Flozell Adams was caught tripping twice in the first two weeks of the National Football League season.

According to ProFootballTalk.com, Adams was caught a third time on Monday Night Football NFL commissioner Roger Goodell should suspend Adams for a couple games.

Adams already hurt one player as in week two his trip hurt the shoulder of New York Giants defensive end Justin Tuck.

The fines are not doing anything as after the Giants game Adams stated that Tuck hurt his shoulder, because he doesn’t have good balance.

Hello McFly! Tuck lost his balance, because you tripped him.

In the end it is time to send a clear cut message that this type of behavior will not be tolerated by suspending him for several games.

With the Dallas Cowboys playing on Monday Night Football National Football League fans eyes will be peeled.

To see if some punts will go off the scoreboard.

If you think about it that is how pathetic the whole situation is when a punt going off the scoreboard is the main attraction.

With there being two running teams tonight I’d say the over under on punts going off the scoreboard is 2.5.

In the end Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and the League’s office look pathetic.

Dallas Cowboys head coach Wade Phillips led the Cowboys to a disappointing record of 9-7 in 2008 after going 13-3 in 2007.

2009 will be the last year for Phillips as the Cowboys head coach.

The main problem with the Cowboys is that they lost to much talent that they have not replaced yet.

The Cowboys’ in February cut wide receiver Terrell Owens, safety Roy Williams, outside linebacker Greg Elllis, and lost defensive end Chris Canty to free agency.

To replace Owens the Cowboys promoted wide receiver Roy Williams to the number one receiver on the depth chart.

To replace Canty the Cowboys signed defensive end Igor Olshansky.

Then to replace Williams the Cowboys signed safety Gerald Sensabaugh who only became a fulltime starter last year for the Jacksonville Jaguars.

In the end the Cowboys did not do enough to solidify itself.

The Dallas Cowboys just got a dose of really bad news as they learned that wide receiver Roy Williams has a broken collarbone.

With no other legitimate wide receiver on the roster the Cowboys are most likely going to be a losing team this year.

The Cowboys now cannot take for granted their first five games as they go up against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, New York Giants, Carolina Panthers, Denver Broncos, and Kansas City Chiefs.

Without Williams teams will concentrate their double coverage on tight end Jason Witten who is their best option at the present moment.

There is only one way that the Cowboys can overcome the loss of Williams and that is run the football more than 40 times a game.

The Cowboys can do that since they have a good offensive line and two solid running backs in Marion Barber and Felix Jones.

In the end if the Cowboys suffer anymore injuries it will be a long season for Cowboy fans.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo drop in his performance has been attributed to distraction.  In 2009 that will not be the case as those distractions are now gone.

Romo apparently had two major distractions last year in wide receiver Terrell Owens and girlfriend Jessica Simpson.

However, doesn’t have either of them to rely on for an excuse as both are gone.

First, earlier this offseason the Cowboys cut wide receiver Terrell Owens citing that they wanted to go in a different direction in giving wide receiver Roy Williams the chance to be the number one wide receiver on the depth chart.

Then on Tuesday the Dallas Morning News reported on an article in People Magazine that Romo dumped Simpson.

Lets not forget that Romo still has the same offensive coordinator in Jason Garrett.

In the end if Romo’s prodcution stays the same or drops he could eventually find himself in another jersey.

The Dallas Cowboys may have gotten rid of wide receiver Terrell Owens and the media attention he brings along with him to any team.  The thing is this is the Cowboys and distractions  just follow them everywhere.

At the begining of the regular season the Cowboys will be playing in a new stadium, because of that additional media will be there at the regular season home opener.

Also, the Cowboys will have to get use to the field as it is a new stadium and each stadium has unique wind and field conditions to them.

Then there is the story of the indoor practice facility that collapsed and left Cowboys scouting assistant Rich Behm paralyzed, which will certainly be also on their minds as the season progresses.

Then there is the situation with wide receiver Roy Williams as the Cowboys traded for him during last years regular season.

The Cowboys cut wide receiver Terrell Owens to make Williams the number one wide receiver, which to some fans is not a good idea as he did not do very well last year.

Finally, lets not forget the relationship between quarterback Tony Romo and girlfriend singer Jessica Simpson.

Seemingly, everytime Simpson has displayed publically her support for the Cowboys they lost.  The best one being her bashing the Philadelphia Eagles on the Today show, which resulted in Cowboys getting killed by the Eagles 44-6.

As long as Jerry Jones is the owner of the Cowboys distractions will always engulf the Cowboys.

It sometimes takes tragedy to get points across, unfortunately.  That is the case with the Dallas Cowboys as they have learned a lesson from the tragedy that took place this past Saturday.

Football has been a sport that has always been played and practice outside.  That is till someone had the bright idea of creating indoor facilities.

Every team in the National Football League has an indoor practice facility.  Many thought until Saturday that they were the safest places to be when bad weather was taking place outside.

The Cowboys learned that even the best facility that money can buy is not immune to the wrath of mother nature.  That also means that teams need to have a plan in case of an emergency.
The fact of the matter is that practice or games should be held outside unless there is a hurricane, tornado, or thunderstorms.

The thing is that when bad weather happens during practice those are the most fun to be in.  The reason is that not even the coaches are immune to getting dirty as usually us players like to catch coaches off guard, and throw them in the mud.

The one thing that bothers me that with all these billion dollar stadiums being built no one has had the idea of creating an indoor practice facility underneath the stadium.  That or use concrete so that it is a safe haven to go to.

Teams will still use indoor facilities all the time.  Just hopefully the NFLPA forces owners to come up with emergency plans for tornados, hurricanes, or other emergency.
