I was disgusted with the Dallas Defense last night. And then a friend of mine reminded me of something. I'll bet you all will remember it:

Dallas defense overpowered in 35-16 loss

By TIM COWLISHAW / The Dallas Morning News

WASHINGTON – The Cowboys were hoping to turn back the clock a year, to repeat the opening-night success they had enjoyed against Washington. That victory had set the stage for a Super Bowl season.

Instead, the Cowboys turned the clock back too far.

For the first time since 1989, when the Cowboys endured a 1-15 nightmare of a season, Dallas' defense gave up five touchdowns. One came at the close of a back-breaking 99-yard drive in the third quarter as Washington dominated Dallas, 35-16, before 56,345 fans at RFK Stadium.

The date here was Sept 7, 1993 and the Redskins whooped our ass.

But it was also the year Dallas went 12-4 and won thier second consecutive Super Bowl title.

Now granted this is not the Cowboys of the 90's. But after week one I am certainly not painting a picture of doom and gloom for the remaining 15 games.
