Things are unraveling quickly for the Dallas Cowboys. Just off a blow-out loss of 34-14 handed down by the Divisional foe NY Giants at the Meadowlands in week 9, the Cowboys will limp into their bye week, at 5-4. Not exactly the anticipated record at this point in the season. Sitting in last place in the NFC East, the Cowboys have a pretty tall hill to climb. Especially because it no longer looks like the NFL Beast's will get both wild card spots.
Even with the return of quarterback Tony Romo, the Cowboys will be digging themselves out of quite the hole with only 7 games remaining. And let's be honest, they weren't exactly playing great when Romo was at the healm either.
But let's not get too far ahead of ourselves. There are plenty of criticisms to go around this week for the Cowboys. So let's take a look at some of the worst parts of this game.
* Marion Barber looked human today with only 54 yards on 19 carries. Without Romo, the Cowboys have looked more and more 1 dimmensional, but recently that 1 dimmension hasn't even been working. Obviously Romo's right arm is a little bit more threatening than Brad Johnson's and Brooks Bollinger's combined, but that O-line needs to step up and make some holes.
* I could not be more happy to (hopefully) never have to talk about Brad Johnson or Brooks Bollinger again. Neither reached over 100 yards passing, but then again neither had more than 9 attempts either.
* The Dallas Offensive Line needs some immediate help. Clearly, Romo probaly would have been able to scramble better than Bollinger and Johnson and the Giants D-Line is far above average, but they just didn't look good out there today.
*At least Owens got a TD reception...the last thing we need is a restless T.O.
