Twitter reacts to Cowboys thumping Jets to move to 2-0
The Dallas Cowboys have wowed the viewing public once again. After throttling the New York Football Giants in Week 1, the club turned their attention to their home opener. Hosting the New York Jets a week after they lost Aaron Rodgers for the season took some of the steam out of the matchup, but these are professionals.
Dallas proceeded to place a professional-grade whopping on Zach Wilson and the Jets, opening up the scoring with a first-drive touchdown and never looking back. By the time it was over, the Cowboys sat with a 2-0 record and a +60 scoring differential through just two weeks. It was an enjoyable ride for all those watching, and it was all captured on social media.

The Cowboys have played 8 quarters of football this season.
They've shut out their opponents in 7 of them.

I’ve watched it 10 times just to confirm it really happened. That Micah Parsons sack was something out of a video game. I used to turn offsides off in Madden and rush 99 speed players off the edge. They landed on the QB about as fast, and didn’t go over 2.5 gaps. Unreal play.

Small sample size, but we're throwing quite a bit more on first-and-10+ this year (before going into slow-down mode) than we did last year.
We even passed on first-and-15 once today, and we never did that one time last season!

Dallas has now won nine consecutive games at AT&T Stadium spanning back to last season, the most consecutive wins at home since AT&T Stadium opened in 2009. The last time Dallas won nine consecutive games at home was when they won 11 straight at Texas Stadium in 1991-92.

If my counting-on-fingers calculations are correct, Dallas' offense (not total scoring, offense only) will be Top 5 in scoring with 0 turnovers after two weeks.
57 points.
Eagles, Chargers, 49ers, Dolphins (TBD), Dallas.

dak doing this to one of the best defenses in the league without brandin cooks and much of a run game
the rumors of his demise were greatly exaggerated pic.twitter.com/lOiLqqAGEE

Honestly I don't know what to do with Dak getting the "Star QB" treatment the rest of the top league signal callers get.

These new McCarthy plays are so much fun:
– the tandem RB screen to 23 with 40 leading on the edge;
– the fake bubble screen to 42 with 88 releasing late up the sideline.
Bogged down late a couple of times but I’m reserving judgement until Tyler Smith returns.— Rafael Vela (@dailygoonerraf) September 17, 2023

So how's the #Cowboys run defense faring?
Breece Hall: 9 yards rushing, 0 TDs
Dalvin Cook: 7 yards rushing, 0 TDs
Michael Carter: 8 yards rushing, 0 TDsTeam leader: Zach Wilson – 36 rushing yards, 0 TDs
Horror movie.

According to @ESPNStatsInfo, the Cowboys scored 50 points before allowing a point to start the season. They're the first team to score 50 points before allowing one since the Chargers and Bears in 2006.

Cowboys defensive backs with an interception this year…
Trevon Diggs 1
Stephon Gilmore 1
DaRon Bland 1
Jayron Kearse 1
Malik Hooker 1Basically, their entire starting secondary has gotten a pick with the exception of Donovan Wilson, and I don't know what his problem is.
