If the Cowboys are going to make a quarterback switch the bye week would be the time to do it. Tony Romo won’t be on the field until the end of November at the earliest. In our offense, defense, special teams, the way we started the game. He also hit Brady three times.

GETTING TO BRADY: The 38-year-old hasn’t been sacked more than five times in the regular season since Buffalo had seven in 2001, the year he took over as the starter and won the first of four Super Bowls.
As the Patriots hit the quarter-mark in the season and have scored the most points in franchise history through four games, it’s clear Brady’s quick release is playing a major part in the success. Murray and the running game still flourished _ especially late in games when they pounded worn-down defenses.
The Cowboys lost the game to the Patriots. It’s hard to put anything ahead of his touchdown spike and red-faced screaming at the crowd.
Dion Lewis continues to impress.
Cassel has completed 59 percent of his passes for 15,727 yards with 96 touchdowns, 70 interceptions and an 80.1 passer rating.
Reid sounded optimistic that Charles would make it back eventually. This year, the Cowboys are simply running into an eight-man wall.
Same deal early in the fourth quarter. Poor Amendola finished with two catches for 6 yards because Edelman cost him a 34-yard reception.
“We’ve got to do better on first and second down to make him (Weeden) better on third down”, Williams said. The completion percentage index for Romo in his career is 115, and for ’15 it is 137. But with every blowout victory, they are coming closer to proving a modern American truism, which is that the less you give a fuck about public perception, the more successful you can become. Later he ran a slant needing 11 yards but only got 10. When the Pats have their top 3 targets healthy and playing this way – and Brady getting rid of the football under serious pressure faster than ever – this offense is practically unstoppable. Hardy is relentless in chasing the quarterback and the ball. Dallas guard Ronald Leary had little choice.
QUOTE OF THE DAY: “It’s a good football team”. In his Patriots debut he was able to stand his ground against the vaunted Dallas OL and was a key reason why Dallas struggled to run the ball.
The 33-year-old Cassel was inactive for two weeks while learning the Dallas offense, but replaced Kellen Moore as the backup to Weeden against his former team. He missed a pass to tight end Jason Witten. Nice play, but a bit less chest-pounding next time would be nice. He also had a forced fumble and had a tackle for loss. He’s a playmaker and a disturbing presence.
– Sheard’s second sack came on a stunt and showed off impressive change of direction.
On the play of Jamie Collins’ and how Jerod Mayo and Jonathan Freeny played after Dont’a Hightower’s injury. The players played a solid game. If he is long absent, it will be costly, although the addition of Jon Bostic could help relieve a few of the stress assuming he grasps the defense. The home teams lost both contests. Brandon Weeden is no Romo, and none of Dallas’ receivers was even close to Dez Light. Couple of turnovers in the second half but real good field position.
Offensive Line: The offensive line continued to come up short of expectations Sunday. “But, heck, it’s great to have those kind of wins – 5-0 feels good”. Washington’s Dustin Hopkins kicked a 52-yard field goal on the final play of regulation. The other one should have been, as the return resulted in poor field position. He averaged 41 yards on six punts. Here’s what had to be asked – and how New England answered…
