How about them Cowboys?

Looming QB controversy won't affect Bears' focus

TDBIT: How about them Cowboys?

The Cowboys' offense has been prolific. Tony Romo has obviously benefited from all he went through last year. He looks like he has really improved. The Cowboys are getting a lot out of WR Terrell Owens. Their offensive line looks much better. Tight end Jason Witten is a good threat, and they have a nice situation at running back with Marion Barber and Julius Jones. Offensively, they look pretty strong and can probably sustain this steady production.

I'm not surprised by Romo's play. I saw him do some of this last year. He's playing very, very well. There will be a rough spot or two because he is still in a maturation process as a player. But if he can keep it up, the Cowboys will win a lot of games.

Against the Bears in Week 3, the defense played better than it had in the first two weeks. The Bears' offense, on the other hand, doesn't present much of a challenge. The real test will be when Dallas faces Donovan McNabb and the Eagles in Week 9.
