Terrell Owens says the Cowboys will be fine. He says there is no doubt the Cowboys will respond Saturday against Carolina, and that the Super Bowl hopes are still alive.
I agree..to a point.
Tony Romo played the worst game of his career against the Eagles, and the Cowboys still had a shot with under three minutes to go in the game. That either says a lot about the rest of this Dallas team, or a lot about how inept the Eagles are this season. Either way, I don't think the Cowboys will be playing Philadelphia on their way to the Super Bowl.
Romo is spectacular..and to criticize at this point is just dumb. But when he fails, he fails in a way that makes MAJOR headlines. Remember the Buffalo game? Sure, the Cowboys won that, and Romo was a huge reason....but there doesn't seem to be a happy medium with him.
He is either All-Pro or terrible. Maybe it would help if Dallas rekindled their running game. When is the last time you saw Jones or Barber dominate a game...and not when the outcome was already decided. Getting 4 or 5 yards a pop at the beginning of the game, might be more effective than when you're trying to run out the clock.
As for the passing game...it's quite obvious that defenses are either going to allow Owens or Jason Witten to go crazy. But the other won't. Okay, so what happened to Crayton, Hurd, Miles, and Barber out of the backfield? As great as Jason Garrett appears to be at calling plays, can't he call something besides a curl route from Witten or an in route for Owens?
Two games to go... and 3 more for a championship... what's your prediction for the final six weeks of the NFL season? Click here to comment...
