Cowboys Out For The Season

To say it delicately, “The Dallas Cowboys are in deep shit up to their eyeballs”. With a record of 1 – 5, I’m sure the Head Coach Wade Phillips feels the noose tightening around his neck. It’s a good bet that he should start shopping his resume now.

Cowboys’ starting quarterback Tony Romo is out for the rest of the season with a broken clavicle. His replacement, Jon Kinta, hasn’t started a game since 2008. This is definitely not a promising substitute, especially since the Cowboys are at the bottom half of the league for rush yards per game. Couple this with the fact that there are issues on the offensive line which allowed Kinta to be sacked 3 times in his start against the New York Giants. One gets the feeling that the Cowboys’ playbook has been reduced to a single option; hell-Mary. That play should be good for 6-points in every 3 games. Throw in an extra point and a field goal, and you’ve got double figure scoring. I know sarcasm is the lowest form of humor, but as a Cowboys fan it’s the only thing I have left, and the promise of a first-round draft choice at the end of the season. Can we use that pick to get a new team owner?
