The Cowboys stunk it up on Saturday night against the Houston Texans. The offense could barely get yardage, couldn't get a touchdown (until Jon Kitna came on against the 2nd team Houston defense,) and even the defense couldn't stop the run. It was a not pretty, in fact it was scary.
Of course, it is just preseason, the game doesn't count, the team just broke camp and all the other excuses, but still, if for anything but pride, they should have played better than they did.
I would be a lot more upset had this been a real game, but I'm still not happy with the way everything went down. Mistake after mistake, the front line couldn't protect or run block and I don't know what happened to the defense.
Some key starters were missing due to injury; Columbo, Kosier & Dez on offense, and Brooking and Sensabaugh on defense. I'm crossing every finger I have that these players all get healthy for the regular season, we are apparently going to need them.
Next week is finally the final preseason game against Miami. This is a game that is usually played by only second string talent, but Wade Phillips is considering playing the starters for a few series due to the dismal performance on Saturday night.
