The Dallas Cowboys are back from break and returning to a fan base that is ready to see something different than what has been offered at almost every point of the season so far.

Despite being a .500 team right now, the Cowboys have looked extremely poor in most of the six games they have played. Keep in mind that their last win was the result of a heroic performance in the final minutes of the game when the team visited the Pittsburgh Steelers. This game took place on Football on Sunday evenings After about 90 minutes of delay due to weather, tonight’s game against the San Francisco 49ers will take place in the same slot, albeit hopefully with an on-time kickoff.

The 49ers were relatively owned by the Cowboys during the Mike McCarthy era. Dallas last defeated them in a home game at AT&T Stadium that was, ironically, bowed out of the SNF slot because the teams were so bad. We’ll see what today’s game has to offer and as always, we’ll document everything for you.

This post serves as our ongoing review and we will provide updates after each quarter. At the end of the game we will sort everything in chronological order so that it can be read in the order in which everything happened.

Let’s get started. Come on, cowboys!
