Well... the Cowboys just aren't ready.
The Broncos may just be the team their record says they are, 4-0 and defensively tough as it comes, but Dallas let them off the hook on too many drives. Penalties plagued Denver early on, but Dallas never capitalized on it. Penalties for Dallas came (again) in crucial situations which killed positive drives. The Cowboys' defense made great plays when they needed to, but couldn't close the game down on the final drive again. The offense didn't help the defense at all and managed only a field goal and a touchdown (by Barber on a 1 yard rush.)
Tony Romo, specifically, was the cause of many woes. A fumble, an interception and more horrible throws then I can count... one that resulted in Roy Williams taking a hard hit which sidelined him for a few important snaps. It was another bad day for Romo, and unfortunately the bad days keep piling up. He started the season with promise, throwing for career yards and a couple touchdowns in Tampa Bay... since then, he has been mediocre at best.
It's starting to be really tough watching this team... they have so much talent, but they can't execute. Do I see this team making the playoffs this year? Nope... not without a miracle. This game was one of the winnable games on the schedule, and if they keep dropping the games they are supposed to win then they are going to have major problems even keeping a winning record, let alone making the playoffs.
Here's to hoping they can stop the disappointment and actually turn it around next week and for the rest of the season.
