You’d be surprised at how the Cowboys offense stacked up ag

ainst certain teams in Week 1 Winning changes everything. We all know that.One of the worst Dallas Cowboys games ever came almost 11 years ago when Tony Romo threw interception after interception on the road against the Buffalo Bills on Monday Night Football. Ultimately http://www.cowboysauthorizedshops.com/authentic-demarcus-lawrence-jersey , in spite of all the turnovers, the team won. That’s all that matters.Football is back which means our weeks are back to being determined by how the Cowboys perform. If they are victorious the week is great. The sun shines brighter, coffee tastes better, and those small things are just a little less annoying.Things get awfully dark when the Cowboys lose, though. If you’re unsure how long misery can last just adopt an NFL team and you’ll learn quickly that seven days is right about your average time. When the clock hits triple zero on Sundays our whole week is immediately determined.The Cowboys lost this week which means the coffee sucks (I’ve actually been thinking about trying a new creamer, but none of this topical pumpkin stuff). It feels like the season is over, especially because of how flat the offense looked.Dallas was only able to produce 232 yards of total offense in their season opener. This is good for third-worst in the NFL Maliek Collins Jersey , well it’s tied for third-worst. Guess who it’s tied with?Buffalo Bills - 153Arizona Cardinals - 213Dallas Cowboys - 232Philadelphia Eagles - 232Carolina Panthers - 293Chicago Bears - 294That’s right. The Cowboys offense is just as successful as the reigning Super Bowl Champion one of the Philadelphia Eagles through one game. What’s more is the Carolina Panthers were barely more successful than the Cowboys, a testament to the defense our squad has at its back.It’s also particularly interesting that the Chicago Bears are only 72 yards (I know, I know, “only 72”) off of the Cowboys. Ask anyone who watched Sunday Night Football and they’ll tell you Chicago is light years ahead of Dallas. They very well might be, but through a box score lens, which admittedly isn’t the only one you should look through, the Bears and Cowboys aren’t necessarily separated by anything vast. I’m not trying to tell you that the Cowboys offense isn’t stagnant or that this team doesn’t seriously need an injection of life or things will go a particular way rather quickly. All I’m noting is that context is important and specifically the context of victory as it’s a much better week to be a Philadelphia fan or Dallas one. Winning cures all Authentic Chris Jones Jersey , right now we’re just absent of medicine.Let’s raid the cupboard on Sunday night against the Giants. There are different sort of rivalries that all NFL teams have and the Dallas Cowboys are no exception.Obviously, you’ve got the division rivalries. Nobody likes the Washington Redskins, New York Giants, or Philadelphia Eagles. We’ll never like them and we’re fine with that reality being the way things work forever.There are also a few other teams that Cowboys fans aren’t fond of. Squads like the Pittsburgh Steelers, San Francisco 49ers, and Green Bay Packers. There’s history there.The Seattle Seahawks don’t quite fall into any of these categories but there’s definitely a cosmic sort of connection between them and the Cowboys, at least over the last decade or so. They met in the playoffs following the 2006 season and everybody knows what happened. Tony Romo bobbled it as the Cowboys lost Youth Terrance Williams Jersey , then Romo proceeded to have a long career and in a twist of fate saw that career end on the very same turf where the bobble occurred in the Pacific Northwest. Dallas also lost to Seattle on Christmas Eve back in 2017 in an effective playoff game. It ensured the first “meaningless” game of the Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott era, and after the game the following offseason was kicked into overdrive before it ever began when Earl Thomas chased down Jason Garrett imploring him to “go get him” if he had the chance. There’s something between the Cowboys and Seahawks, so we discussed it all in this week’s video preview on the official BTB YouTube Channel. Subscribe to it right here and let’s add a chapter in this relationship that we don’t cringe at when we look back. Custom Washington Redskins Jerseys
