The Cowboys have lost games this season, they had no business losing. They have lost three leads late in games. It started in the first game of the season against the New York Jets, when they gave up a fourteen point lead in the fourth quarter. They were up twenty-four points on the Detroit Lions, they gave that lead away in the second half. They lost Sunday leading 16-13 to the New England Patriots, in the last drive of the game 20-16.
Yes, i know we were only up by three points in New England, we were facing the great Tom Brady. Tom Brady is known to win crucial games down the stretch. However, that great quarterback Tom Brady and his offense could not move the ball on Dallas' defense the entire game.
Dallas has a quarterback in Tony Romo, who should have put the ball in the end-zone. Instead when Dallas was in the red-zone they could only manage three points.
All the critics were talking about how weak the New England Patriots defense was. How Tony Romo and the Cowboys should move the ball at will on the Patriots weak defense. All the critics were saying, New England's secondary was the worst in the NFL. Maybe so, that was before they faced the inconsistent Dallas offense.
Either the Dallas Cowboys offense is weak, or the New England Patriots defense is a lot better than people give them credit for. The Cowboys pro-bowl quarterback threw for over three-hundred yards, still could not win the game. Tom Brady threw under three-hundred yards, but managed to drive the ball down the field to score the winning touchdown, on Dallas' defense. The Patriots won the game 20-16.
The Cowboys problem all year long has been inconsistency on the offensive side of the ball. They look like they are one of the best offenses in the league, then the next week they look terrible. Critics are wondering if the problem lies with Dallas' head coach Jason Garrett, calling the plays. The leader of the offense Tony Romo, can play a flawless half, then comes out in the second half and stinks up the joint. Romo looks like he's in a fog at times. He tries to make to many plays, then he'll throw an ill-advised pass for an interception or fumble the ball.
I don't mind a quarterback being aggressive, but don't try to make plays that are not there. Cowboy fans are frustrated week after week, with Tony Romo's reckless abandon style of play.
Sunday's game was not so much the mistakes, Romo made. He and the Cowboys offense just simply melted down in the red-zone, where Dallas had to settle for field goals. The Cowboys had so many opportunities to beat the Patriots, where many people did not even give them a chance to win the game.
Tony Romo and the offense has cost the Cowboys three games they should have won, instead they could not score touchdowns, or Tony Romo would try to make plays that simply were not there. Then he would turn the ball over, that cost his team a victory.
Like i said at the beginning of this article, the Cowboys should be undefeated at 5-0. Giving up three games in the season, they had know business losing. Makes the Cowboys just a mediocre team.
"Letting three games get away from them, in the first five of the season. Could cost them a chance of making the playoffs for the second consecutive season."
Yes i know that there is a lot of football to be played, but letting games get away from you is costly in football. When you only have sixteen games in a season, there is very little margin for error. Dallas is 0-3 this season leading games late in the second half.
That's simply put.
Not good!
Dallas' next game is Sunday at Cowboys' Stadium against the St. Louis Rams. I would say the Cowboys should win this game with know problem.
However, which Cowboy team is going to show up on Sunday?
Dallas Cowboy fans will find out the answer, Sunday around 6:15 or 6:30 pm.
What ever the final outcome is, will be the Cowboys' fans answer.
