Instant Review: Staff Writers Give Quick Analysis On Loss To Patriots
Two teams headed in different directions will meet on Sunday in Arlington, Texas, as the Dallas Cowboys host the New England Patriots at AT&T Stadium. From what Belichick and Patriots quarterback Tom Brady said after the game, it sounded as though he put in a new defense. They won this one with defense, giving up a season-low points total. But they’re just a better team. We hit the quarterback a lot and that’s what you have to do against a team like this. But it’s still digesting to see this guy championed for being a good football player and having that erase the things he did in the past.
NOTES: Cowboys DE Greg Hardy and LB Rolando McLain made their season debuts after completing four-game suspensions. From that, you can see that we’re typically fresh throughout the game.
“He’s shown exceptional in his healing”, Jones said. On the moneyline New England is priced at -380, while Dallas is a +340 underdog. I thought that our players and coaches did a good job of making those adjustments during the game and throughout the game.
“It was definitely a different look”. That caused us a few problems but we scored 30 points. New England had three sacks, two coming from defensive end Jabaal Sheard. The Cowboys are at the New York Giants on October. 25.
“I don’t want to talk about it. I’m going to let my play do the talking”, Weeden said.

No matter what they might want, the benching talk is just starting to heat up. Today, he gets the Elvis treatment, everybody, except him, with opinions about his personal life and what Hardy said.
On the season, the Cowboys average 107.8 yards in passing and 256 yards in rushing. Amusing how time can completely change things, back on early September this was being billed as Tony Romo vs. Jimmy Garoppolo. “The whole crew is going to ride with him from the receivers to the coaching staff”.
To be sure, Weeden doesn’t deserve all the blame for the Cowboys not scoring a touchdown for the first time since the 2009 playoffs when his running backs only netted 37 yards on eight carries and his offensive line couldn’t always stop a tough Patriots defensive front. Having Hardy back on the field does help the Dallas defense in a big way, although it also has caused a lot of drama in the media due to his choices off the field. With star quarterback Tom Brady and Gronkowski in the game, it’s sure to look like a very long and professional game of “Keep Away”.
No one has been able to slow down the Patriots offense led by Tom Brady so far this season. New England inactives: DT Khyri Thornton, LB Jon Bostic, WR Aaron Dobson, DE Rufus Johnson, C/G Ryan Wendell, S Tavon Wilson, DE Trey Flowers.
