 In a game no one wanted to see, the Dallas Cowboys had their most entertaining game of the preseason. With none of their starters playing, the Dallas Cowboys pulled off a 27-25 victory over the Miami Dolphins.
3rd-string quarterback Stephen McGee played the entire game, throwing for over 300 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions. McGee threw to 11 different receivers and led the Cowboys on an 89 yard drive in the final 2 minutes, setting up David Buehler's 31 yard game-winning field goal.
Buehler showed he can do more than kick touchbacks, as he went 4-for-4 on field goals. In addition to the game winner, Buehler connected from as far away as 51 yards.
Dallas will go to Washington for the season opener on September 12. |

 The Dallas Cowboys were humiliated again by the Houston Texans 23-7 in the preseason dress rehearsal. The starters played into the 3rd quarter and were dominated on both sides of the ball. Tony Romo and the offense looked concerned that they still haven't been able to score. John Kitna led Dallas to it's only touchdown early in the 4th quarter.
The Good
The only good thing in this game is that it is one game closer to the end of a dismal preseason. Even in their victories, the team has not looked good.
The Bad
The physical effort by the Cowboys. Dallas is getting beat on the line of scrimmage. Tony Romo has been hit on almost every drive, something that should not be happening in meaningless games. The triple-threat running game has been no threat at all, with Dallas only gaining 13 yards rushing against Houston.
The Ugly
The Dallas starting offense has not scored a touchdown in the preseason. The few times they get into the red zone, they seem to move backwards or turn the ball over. One of the big question marks going into the season, David Buehler's field goal ability was not even evaluated because Dallas could not get into range. The game was so ugly, head coach Wade Phillips may choose to play his starters in the final preseason game this week at home in Cowboys Stadium.

The Dallas Cowboys somehow defeated the San Diego Chargers 16-14 in the 3rd preseason game of the year. For the most part, the Cowboys looked flat, only doing just enough to win. Dallas made plays when they needed to, which is the most positive thing they can take from this game.
Quarterback Tony Romo only completed 4 of 11 passes for 30 yards. He did hit Miles Austin for the team's first red one touchdown of the year. He also threw an interception.
The Cowboys' makeshift offensive line did a decent job protecting the quarterbacks, though the running backs did not gain much.
Dallas made the big plays when needed, which was the game difference. San Diego was leading in the 4th quarter when John Kitna found Martellus Bennett for a 19 yard touchdown to tie the game at 14. With less than 4 minutes left, the Cowboys defence forced a fumble which rolled into the end zone and was covered by San Diego rookie left tackle Ryan Otterson, giving the Cowboys a game-winning safety.
Dallas has plenty to work on before heading back to Texas and playing at Houston on Saturday night. |

The Dallas Cowboys lost their preseason home opener 17-9 to the Oakland Raiders. Dallas appeared road-weary, playing their second game in 4 days.
The Good
Kicker David Buehler was perfect on the night, hitting all 3 field goal attempts (42, 27, and 28 yards) and all 4 kickoffs went for touchbacks. Buehler made the team last year on the basis of his strong kickoffs and is attempting to add on the field goal duties this season.
The Bad
The Cowboys have not scored an offensive touchdown in 2 games, despite having multiple attempts inside the red zone. There is no reason to be concerned just yet, since it is only preseason, however, this needs to turn around so the confidence to score will be there.
The Ugly
The Dallas offensive line, which looked so good 4 days ago, was pushed around by the Raiders. The running lanes were not open and starting QB Tony Romo was sacked 3 times. Hopefully, the short turnaround and fatigue from training camp is the only thing hampering this unit, which has the potential for multiple pro-bowlers.

The Dallas Cowboys opened the NFL preseason with a 16-7 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals Sunday night. Although these exibition games don't mean much to anyone but the coaches and the players fighting for a roster spot, it is good to have football season underway. We will take a quick look at the good, bad, and ugly of this game.
The Good
The starting offensive line played well, giving Tony Romo time to pass and the running duo of Marion Barber and Felix Jones lanes to run in. Doug Free played well as the heir to Flozell Adams' left tackle position.
The defense also played well, only giving up a score in the final minute of the game, while also scoring the Cowboys' only touchdown.
