As if the game yesterday wasn't enough to get you feeling really good about the Dallas Cowboys for the first time all year, Demarcus Ware's deal today capped off what has been an enjoyable 15 days. I know I have to remind myself once in a while to enjoy the good moments because there will be bad times down the road and I take the losses harder than I enjoy the wins. I'm sure a lot of the fans have the same problem that I do. Don't forget to relish the big victories like the one yesterday. Those are the moments that make it fun to be a fan. Here is a brief recap of what has transpired over the last 15 days.1. It started with a breakout performance by Miles Austin in a dramatic overtime victory that may have saved the season. Miles Austin only got the start because Roy Williams couldn't play with his rib injury. All Austin did was put up 10 receptions for 250 yards and 2 touchdowns including the dramatic game winner in overtime.2. The Cowboys played an awful game b...

By Eric EdholmIn two games, the Cowboys offense has completely changed. Sandwiching the bye week, WR Miles Austin has set a club record for yards in consecutive games (421) and has become the team's go-to wide receiver. Austin now has only seven fewer yards in two games than Roy Williams has in 17 games as a Cowboy (428). And Austin is making people forget about Williams, or at least...

Some things are personal opinions. Others are just plain facts.
FACT ONE: Tony Romo does NOT suck.
It is a favorite pastime of Cowboys’ haters everywhere to play fast and loose with Romo’s name. The usual choice is “Tony Homo,” and the old, tired, standard assertion is simply, “Tony Homo sucks.”

Here is some unfiltered Jerry Jones for you following the 37-21 win over Atlanta:
On the win: "I heard something hit the floor during that ballgame. These guys certainly beat a real good team. They came back after a disheartening drive in the beginning and they came back and played well and made the big plays. They put some good drives together and made some stops. This win...

The Counselor is IN:Things I have Learned ... the Falcons at the Cowboys.1) WR Miles Austin is for real and appears to be on the same page with Tony Romo. No one was for sure what his future fantasy value would be after the great game two weeks ago in Kansas City, 250 yards and 2 touchdowns, because he broke out against the Chiefs. Today Austin had 171 yards and 2 touchdowns against...

DIRTY BIRDLAND – Let’s get right to the point.
Five things we learned from the Dallas game.
1. STAY ON THE SCRIPT: The opening drive was a masterpiece. The Falcons script their first 15 plays.

ARLINGTON, Texas—Many adjectives described Tony Romo's play Sunday, and none were negative.
Accurate, resilient, elusive, exciting. Take your pick. When Romo plays like this—completing 21-of-29 passes for 311 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions—the Cowboys (4-2) can be special. Sunday's 37-21 victory over the Falcons was Dallas' best game...
