After the night to sleep it off... If this was not the Cowboys on National TV, I wouldn't be/have been half as mad as I am.

We're not going to win them all. Rex has to protect the ball better, though. I know that's his MO, and it comes with the territory, but this is three weeks in a row that the game could have swung on one of his turnovers (and last night it did). That has to get better. I'm certainly not pinning the whole game on him, but this is why he has not had the real chances in the NFL.

Overall, through 3 weeks, I think if you asked everyone on the board if they'd take 2-1, they'd have taken it an run. I still feel good about where we're at.. we've outplayed the Giants, and I think we played better than Dallas last night (albeit beat up)...

Win or lose last night, we'll know if these are different Redskins next week. The Rams stink. They're not good, and if we want to be thought of as a good football team, we'll roll in there and take care of business and go into the bye and get ready for Philadelphia.... I wish I was confident this would happen, but I'm more hopeful than confident.
