Cowboys Humiliated by Rams, 34-14
The Dallas Cowboys were blasted tonight, 34-14, by one of the worst teams in all of the NFL, the St. Louis Rams. The Rams were 1-4 coming into the game, while Dallas was 4-2. Now the Cowboys are 4-3, and are 2 games behind the first place World Champion Giants, who defeated the S.F. 49ers while the Cowboys failed to show up.
When Bradie James, Cowboys’ linebacker, was told last week of Tony Romo’s injury to his throwing hand, James said, “Wow!”, and then proceeded to talk about how the Cowboys had to now step up and play harder. Well, it wasn’t a surprise that the Cowboys’ offense sputtered without Romo. But what happened to the Cowboys’ defense? Were their little pinkies also injured?
The Cowboys now have to decide whether or not to try and play Romo next week, although Romo’s hand will probably not be ready for NFL football by that time. His replacement, 40-year-old Brad Johnson, was extremely ineffective and could never get the Cowboys rolling in this one.
The now 4-3 Dallas Cowboys must get it together and play the kind of football that such a talented team is capable of. There are still 9 games to go, and a good run of successive wins here would have them no worse off than last year, at 13-3. But it must begin next week. Otherwise, next year could begin very soon.
What’s your opinion? We’d like to know.
