Do you all remember last year when the Broncos were destroyed by the Cowboys in the preseason and the Broncos complained about the fact that the Cowboys gameplanned, etc.? I don't know how widespread the ridicule was around the country, but here in Texas the Cowboys' fans and local media were all over the story. They were laughing and calling the Broncos "crybabies", etc.
I don't believe that one preseason game means much, but I was looking at the Cowboys' website and came across these entries.
The starting unit stayed in the game and stopped the next two drives, but the damage was done. Linebacker Bradie James said the Cowboys played their base defense more than they would in a regular game, and the Broncos' gameplan was counter to what they showed in this week's combined practices.
"I thought we played too vanilla against them," head coach Wade Phillips said. "That's my fault."
and from the comments section:
PRESEASON PRESEASON PRESEASON....did everyone forget that? Relax! Remember, this is the time to try different things and different matchup. Plus don't forget that we didn't game plan against Denver....ran mostly the same stuff we did during the combined practices, whereas they gameplanned against us! If you remember, this is the same thing that Denver did the last time we practiced and played them in preaseason. Also, we used mostly our base 3-4 defense, thus the reason Cutler did so well passing......RELAX...IT WILL BE OK!
A little ironic don't you think?

I haven't finished going through the website and to be honest, I just finished laughing long enough to post this. Please to enjoy.
