Boy, don't you just love the storylines coming from the Ranch after another poor Cowboy performance against the Arizona Cardinals, resulting in an overtime loss? Let's count the ways that the 'Boys are hurting big time:
- Tony Romo is out for 4 weeks due to a broken pinkie finger.
- LB Greg Ellis sounded off, saying, among other things, that he is "disappointed in the organization"
- And we still haven't forgotten about Adam Jones' situation, as the NFL is still investigating the incident, and captain Bradie James warned him not to alienate himself from the team.
Wow, let's shoot a special edition of "As The World Turns" from Valley Ranch. Also scheduled to appear in the Big D drama are the entire offensive line, as Tony Romo was knocked down 19 times in the game (no wonder he got hurt), Terrell Owens chewing out one of the offensive linemen for not doing his job of protecting his quarterback (no tears included, but I actually don't blame TO for being vocal there), Wade Phillips for coaching comparable to a job an Oompa Loompa could do, Jason Garrett as the Offensive Coordinator who makes more than the head coach and is sure to get the job once Wade Phillips is ushered out any time now, and Jerry Jones as the owner who loves it all.
Oh yeah. The Cowboys are only a mere 4-2!
4-2 is a pretty good record in the parity filled National Football League. But, here's why everyone's making a big deal of this:
Over the past three games, they were out-played by Washington, they somehow were playing with Cincinnati all four quarters of the game, when they should've had them beat by Halftime, and they merely woke up late out of bed against Arizona, while the Special Teams was atrocious (opening kickoff returned for TD, field goal blocked but nullified by own coach's timeout, punt block return for game winning touchdown).
They should be better. Now, we'll see if the forty-something Brad Johnson can lead them to victory.
A couple of weeks ago, I said that the cure for the common ailment in the National Football League was the Cincinnati Bengals. That only made them sicker. The St. Louis Rams just got their first win of the season, and they play the Dallas Jerry Jones' this weekend. Don't chalk this one up just yet.

Cowboys looked so good in the first part of the season. What is happening?? Beefed up line, great running game, good passer in Romo, BUT....Wade Philips was never a championship coach.... Always a winner but never too demanding to get his team over the top. Although he is doing better than the Tuna (record wise), Tuna is better stategist (especially defensively), I think the boys will be back at the back end of the season, they definitely have the talent to go all the way. But they need some fire under their okole to get them over the top. They will face an NFC top seed in the playoffs. They will upset the Giants and go all the way.. Weird season, similar to last year...come on now... how many predicted the Giants would be Super Bowl Champs? If you said yes you are lying through your teeth. That means you... Manning lovers..?
Defense will step up and then we will see.
