i was personally impressed. I really like how Romo realsed the ball so quickly and efficently. I enjoyed watching them eat time on the clock by "nickle and dimeing" the colts D. Julius Jones really impressed me with his speed and how he hit the whole. Yes Barber III had more yards but he also had more carries and he dances around to much for me. As far as the defense goes i was please but not as impressed as i hoped to be...but i also think that is becuase it is still so early and they have to work alot of kinks out such as...I personally noticed they were showing the blitz to early and not sitting back until the end...and there were to many "arm" tackles....the middle of the field seemded to be wide open for the majority of the night also....on the plus side i really liked seeing how they were communicating with EVERYONE and they all seemed to know was was going on..... anyway what do ya'll think?

Romo seemed to be getting out from under center faster. New coach or experience? Don't know. I'll tell you who really impressed me was the rookie competing for the third QB spot. Matt Moore? Hadn't paid any attention to the guy until last night, but he was cool under pressure and seemed to grasp the offensive scheme. He looked pretty good.
You're right about there appearing to be holes in the middle of the defense. 1st game; it's fixable. I'm expecting great things from this defense this year. DeMarcus Ware getting some support form the other side and Roy Williams playing closer to the line... could be fun to watch.
Fasano looked great. They say that Garrett likes to run a two tight-end set. That should complicate the lives of defensive coordinators. The offense as a whole seemed a little more opened-up. With the receiving tandem of Owens, Glenn and Crayton, that should be fun.

I think the Cowboys will get the division this year. Although the Eagles will be tough but if we play the way we did last night the whole season we should be able to pull a trip to the conference championship. We just need to stay away from the sacks (like that 16 yard loss cause of Johnson fumbling) and our defense needs to play like that all the time and we will be great. I look forward to the cowboys season this year and I hope we can make something out of it. Oh and I am talking about the starters that played first quarter, Romo worked hard and did good the defense was able keep the colt offense to just a field goal and even if it is the preseason I say the way Peyton was when on the bench and he was definitely not looking to happy studying the playbook like he does in any other game. Peyton didn't look up to form. I have no idea what that pass to the 3 cowboy defenders was but thats definitely not the Peyton Manning that won the Super Bowl.

As already mentioned, it's just preseason. Yes, preseason is fun for players, and good for us fans to ease into the season. A win is a win in the NFL, but I wouldn't be too dependent on what you see in these preseason games.
I'll admit, Romo looked really good. He had an awesome preseason last year too, suprisingly. If you ask me, Romo won the starting job in the preseason last year, but Parcells wasn't allowing it to be a contest at the time. With Philips at the helm, I know he has confidence in Romo, and I see the Cowboys doing very well this season. A divisional championship and maybe even a birth into the NFC title game. Any farther then that might be a stretch, but anything can happen. They have the players and the talent to go as far as they want to, we'll just have to see how everything plays out for them.

Its preseason. Look at the Chargers from a few years ago. 4-0 in preseason 1-15 during the regular season.
Edit: To the guy below me what are you smoking. Best team yea right.

it was very obvious that the Cowboys are the clear cut best team in the NFL this year. The Colts, who were the best team last year, seem sacred of the boys. the Colts could not stop the best running tandem in the league at all. Plus the boys defense had Peyton Manning looking mad. TO did not have a TD but that's because coach wade is holding him back and not wanting to use him when it counts. Bet the HOUSE that the Cowboys only lose 1 maybe 2 games this year!
