For only the second time this season, the Cowboys lose, going down at the hands of last years NFC East Champs, the Philadelphia Eagles. Steven recaps the game and this time, the Fat Lady Sang early thanks to the smart play of Eagles RB Brian Westbook. The Cowboys offense struggles all day long and Tony Romo looks bad especially after he injured the thumb on his throwing hand.

In Cowboys news, the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders head off to support our troops at the 65th USO Tour. Safety Roy Williams has been suspended for one game. Williams appealed the suspension, but it was upheld today. Here are the Panthers, still fighting for their playoff lives. How will the Cowboys handle this late season adversity.

The Good:
TE Jason Witten: In a game where not much went right for the Cowboys, Witten posted 8 catches for 113 yards. Week in and week out, Witten just gets it done.

The Bad:
QB Tony Romo: Romo has done almost nothing wrong this season, but against the Eagles he was not himself. For the first time in 17 straight games, Romo was held without throwing a single TD pass. He finished the game with 13 of 36 passing for 214 yards and no TDs with 3 INTs.

The Ugly:
SS Roy Williams: Williams was flagged for an illegal “horse collar” tackle against Eagles QB Donovan McNabb. This was his third such personal foul penalty called against him this year, earning him a one game unpaid suspension. Williams needs to remove this bad habit from his playing days.

Congrats to the Dallas Cowboys who clinch the NFC East Division Title by virtue of their 28-27 last minute comeback against he Detroit Lions. Steven recaps the game and says it isn’t over until the Fat Lady Sings! The Detroit Lions gave the Cowboys all they could handle, but in the end, TE Jason Witten catches the game winning touchdown pass from Tony Romo to atone for his fumble earlier in the game.

In Cowboys news, the Cowboys open up a waiting list for season ticket holders for the new stadium, WR Terry Glenn hits the practice field, CB Terrance Newman stays off the practice field and Terrell Owens has some words for ESPN’s Keyshawn Johnson.

The Good:
TE Jason Witten: Not only did Witten catch the game winning TD with 18 seconds left in the game, Witten became the first tight end to catch 15 passes in a single game since Kellen Winslow Jr. in 1983. Witten finished the game with 138 yards and that 1 TD.

The Bad:
Run Defense: The Cowboys defense was only allowing 80.2 yards per game to opposing offenses prior to the Lions game and they allowed the usually inept Lions rushing attack to net 152 yards on the ground. The defense will have to stiffen up as they face Brian Westbrook and the Eagles this week.

Steven recaps the 37-27 beating of the Green Bay Packers. Brett Favre gets knocked out of the game and QB Tony Romo continues to have a fantastic season, earning him NFC Offensive Player of the Week for the second time this year.

In Cowboys news, the Cowboys vs Packers game becomes the highest rated cable TV show in 14 years. Not bad for a game that was not available to as many people as should have been. Plus Steven gives a preview of the upcoming game between the Detroit Lions. Steven says he would not trade places with Lions QB Jon Kitna for all the alcohol in Ireland.

The Good:
QB Tony Romo: if not for a Terell Owens bobbled pass in the end zone causing an INT by Al Harris, Romo would have been perfect, throwing 30 times and completing 19 passes, 4 of them for TDs. Romo now has 33 touchdown passes making him the Cowboys single season TD pass leader.

The Bad:
2 minute defense: Once again, the Cowboys allowed points right before the half. After taking a 27-10 lead, the defense allowed the Packers to go 74 yards on 8 plays to cut the lead to 27-17 just before the half.

The Ugly:
Finishing Off A Team: The Cowboys need to improve on finishing teams off. They need to get back to that killer instinct they had earlier in the season and put teams away when they have a chance.

The Cowboys 34-3 Thanksgiving beat down of the New York Jets give them a 10-1 record for the first time EVER. Steven recaps the turkey day game and hands out not one, but two Game Balls! One on offense to RB Marion Barber and one on defense to CB Terrence Newman.

In Cowboys news, Owner and GM Jerry Jones talks about the Thursday Night Game on NFL Network and his role in trying to bring the Network and the cable companies closer together. I think he takes a shot, but he covers himself pretty good.

The Good:
RB Marion Barber: 103 yards on 13 carries and one touchdown gives him a game ball. Not just for running over 100 yards, but for running the ball effectively in the second half when the Cowboys were trying to run out the clock.

The Good: Part II
CB Terrance Newman: I believe that Newman is almost at 100% with his foot and is starting to play like the corner we know. That interception he returned for 50 yards was a thing of beauty. Newman had a perfect break on the ball and he showed his speed and outran everyone to the end zone. Something he could not do in Week 5 during the Buffalo Bills game when he intercepted Bills QB Trent Edwards. Healthy is good!

The Bad:
2 minute defense: Right before the half, the Cowboys allowed the Jets to march down the field on a 13 play drive that setup a 40 yard Mike Nugent FG. I know I am being a bit picky here, but that drive should never have resulted in points.

The Ugly:
4th quarter defense: Are you kidding me? No ugly this week, as the Cowboys dominated the game from start to finish.

The Cowboys improve to 9-1 for the first time since 1983 with their third win against a division opponent in as many weeks. The Cowboys now have a date with destiny as a win over the NY Jets on Thanksgiving will give the team their first every 10-1 start to a season in franchise history.

In Cowboys news, WRPatrick Crayton is nursing an injury and may not play against the Jets, while WR Terrell Owens’ is gets the weekly honor of being named the NFC’s Offensive Player of the Week after catching four touchdown passes against the Redskins

The Good
WR Terrell Owens: I said it last week, Owens saying less and doing more on the field! Terrell Owens is torching secondaries right now, and this week it was the Redskins as he posted 8 catches for 173 yards and 4 TDs. Each TD was got longer and longer, with TDs of 4, 31, 46 and 52 yards.

The Bad:
Roy Williams: I don’t want it to appear as if I am picking on Roy Williams, but that 1st quarter TD pass caught by TE Chris Cooley should never have been caught. Roy turned the wrong way, something he does often in coverage and allowed Cooley to cut inside to a wide open middle of the field.

The Ugly:
4th quarter defense: After taking a fourth quarter 28-16 lead, the Cowboys should have closed the door on the Redskins. Instead, the defense allowed the Skins, to go on a four minute, five second 12 play drive that resulted in a Santana Moss touchdown. The defense needs to step up to stop teams when the offense has worked hard on the field to build a sizable lead.

The Ugly: Part II
Center Andre Gurode: If the Cowboys are going to continue to use the shotgun formation, Gurode has got to get better at snapping the ball. Four times the ball sailed over Romo’s head and several other times, it was high enough that Romo needed to leave his feet to secure the snap. Come on Andre – FOCUS!!!

I am just going to tell you right now, the media is gushing over the Cowboys right now, and so am I. Back to back road games against division rivals and the Cowboys beat down the New York Giants 31-20 to sweep the season series. I break down that victory which keeps the Cowboys alone atop the NFC East at 8-1 and tied with the Green Bay Packers in the NFC.

In Cowboys news, QB Tony Romo’s No. 9 jersey is the No. 1 selling jersey in the NFL, while WR Terrell Owens’ No. 81 is at #6 and FS Roy Williams’ No. 31 is at #9.

The Good
WR Terrell Owens: Is it just me, or is Owens saying less and doing more on the field? You got to hand it to Terrell Owens, when he focuses, he is pretty unstoppable. He torched the Giants secondary with 6 catches for 125 yards and 2 TDs, his longest, the second of the day, a 50 yard TD strike that silenced the hostile New York crowd and put a nail in the Giants coffin. That was also his fourth TD of the year against the Giants.

The Bad:
Roy Williams for Allowing Jeremy Shockey to have a big day: There are some players you just don’t like, and then there are players you hate! Shockey is one of those players and I just hated him having a big game against the Cowboys. He had 12 catches for 129 yards and 1 TD. Most of that yardage and that TD were put up against Williams.

The Ugly:
Personal Foul Penalties: LBs Bradie James and Kevin Burnett helped the Giants put some points on the board with their personal foul penalties. James had a 15-yard penalty against RB Brandon Jacobs and that help set up Jeremy Shockey’s 8-yard TD. Burnett’s penalty for taunting, happened in the final seconds of the 1st half, allowing the Giants to get into FG range as Lawrence Tynes was able to kick a game-tying FG just as the half ended.

With Eagles QB Donovan McNabb saying the NFC East title goes through Philadelphia, the Cowboys showed up at the Linc and ran all over the road trouncing the Eagles 38-17.

In Cowboys news, the Cowboys lost their team chaplain John Weber, who passed away last Thursday afternoon after suffering a heart attack. Tank Johnson was activated to the roster after his 8 game suspension was lifted and the some Cowboys players go out and do some good in the community, as they helped serve an “early” Thanksgiving dinner to more than 200 men and women at the The Salvation Army’s homeless shelter in Dallas.

The Good:
The Offense Striking Early: For only the second time this year, the Cowboys offense scored early getting not one, but two TDs in the 1st quarter against the Eagles. The first TD came after McNabb fumbled on the first play from scrimmage, and the second TD came on the Cowboys 2nd possession, just after the Eagles had tied the score 7-7.

The Good: Part II
WR Terrell Owens: Owens came back to Philly not just a self proclaimed captain as head coach Wade Phillips made him a captain for this game. T.O. delivered and earned this weeks game ball with his 10 catch, 174 yards and 1 TD performance.

The Bad:
Garbage Time: What happens when you get a huge lead, and you don’t want to rub it in the face of your opponent? Your opponent gets to put some yards up against your defense in garbage time. The Eagles, being down 38-10 did manage to score a meaningless TD late in the game, and RB Brian Westbrook caught 7 of his 14 receptions late in the 4th quarter when the game was no longer in question.

The Ugly:
Injuries: The Cowboys lost rookie fullback Deon Anderson. Anderson was placed on IR after this game as he suffered a torn rotator cuff against the Eagles.

Back from London, Steven puts a nice and quick show talking about Tony Romo’s BIG FAT contract extension! Jerry Jones is gave Romo a $11.5 million signing bonus and $67.5 million over six years, and the deal includes $30 million guaranteed. Not bad for an undrafted free agent!

Steven also talks about the Cowboys on the preliminary list for the Hall of Fame Class of 2008. Jerry Jones, former coach Jimmy Johnson, TE Jay Novacek, DE Charles Haley and DE Ed “Too Tall” Jones are on the list among other former Cowboys.

The talk then focuses to what the Cowboys have to do against the Eagles to make sure they come out of Philadelphia with a win. Look for TE Jason Witten to have a huge day and for the defense to put lots of pressure on McNabb.

The Cowboys come out and show they can bounce back after a loss and handle the Minnesota Vikings 24-14, improving to 6-1 for the first time since 1995, the last time they won it all.

Steven continues to send his thoughts and prayers to former Dallas Cowboys running back Ron Springs and the Springs’ family. Steven talks about NFL Network reporter Adam Schefter’s reporting that QB Tony Romo took out an insurance policy for $30 million should Tony get injured this season.

The Good:
The Cowboys Defense: Yes, I know, it was only the Minnesota Vikings but after the Vikings 1st possession, the defense was stifling all day long. They only allowed 196 total yards to the Vikings, and a season low of 72 passing yards.

The Bad:
Turnovers: The Cowboys turned the ball over twice via fumble. Romo was hit from behind while scrambling out of the pocket and WR Patrick Crayton fumbled after making a catch in the middle of the field. The Cowboys find a way to overcome those mistakes, but they need to find a way to eliminate them all together.

The Ugly:
Injuries: The Cowboys world almost turned upside down when Romo hobbled off the field after trying to make a tackle in the 2nd quarter after Patrick Crayton’s fumble. It was not too serious, but I have seen enough injuries this season and I hope they stop. Romo will enjoy this bye week and hopefully, his hamstring injury will recover quickly so he can be ready for the stretch run!

The Cowboys come out on the losing end in the Duel in Dallas but Steven sees the good things that came out of the 48-27 loss at the hands of the New England Patriots. The Cowboys comeback to take a brief lead, but MISTAKES, MISTAKES, MISTAKES keep the Cowboys from winning the game.

Steven announces recent Cowboys news: The new Stadium reaches a milestone, as Jerry Jones was there to see the completion of the first steel arch. In other news, Steven sends his thoughts and prayers to former Dallas Cowboys running back Ron Springs.

The Good:
Terrance Newman: Hard to find a bright spot on a team after a loss, but there were actually plenty of good things in this game, and the best was Newman’s performance. His 8 tackles, forced fumble and coverage of Randy Moss shows that the corner is getting healthy and he was doing all he could to lift the Cowboys to a win.

The Bad:
Safety Ken Hamlin: Hamlin was out of position on both the 35 yard TD pass to Wes Welker and the 69 yard TD pass to Donte Stallworth. On both of those plays, Hamlin bit on the play action fake and allowed the receivers to get behind him, making it an easy throw for Tom Brady.

The Ugly:
Penalties AGAIN!: The Cowboys have to fix this soon! On a day when the Cowboys had to be perfect, their 12 penalties for 100 yards were killers. After the Patriots took a 31-24 lead in the 4th quarter, an offensive holding call on Kyle Kosier killed a Cowboys drive near midfield after Marion Barber had successfully converted a 4th and 1.

Instead, the Cowboys were forced to punt, and soon after that the Patriots scored a 69 yard TD and put the game out of reach.
