Week 7 Recap - NY Giants (41) @ Dallas (35)

Another weekend of football, another Dallas Cowboys loss. This is becoming an embarrassing trend. They are now holding the pathetic record of 1-5 and are about 3 games behind in the division. The season is pretty much over, and it isn't even November yet...sheesh.

There's no helping this team. Mistakes, which include penalties, poor coverage, missed tackles and fumbles, just do not seem to be going away. This team's identity is tripping over their own feet just when things start going good, that's just who they are.

There were actually a few positive things from the game, namely the defense getting 5 turnovers, and Dez Bryant proving his worth with a punt return touchdown... but it just wasn't enough to get the job done.

It would take too long to go over all the negative things from the game but one of the worst things that happened was the injury to Tony Romo, who may be absent from the lineup until December with a broken clavicle.

Jon Kitna will be leading this team for a while, and it's anyone's guess how that's going to play out. He's a capable back-up and maybe he will bring his experience and leadership to the table and make positive things happen, but he's no Romo, and with a tough November schedule that features Green Bay, The Giants (again) and New Orleans, my hopes of a successful season have gone far, far away.

While the rest of the nation cheers another Dallas loss, it is truly a sad day for a Cowboys fan who watched this team throw their entire season away in just the first 6 games. It's a shame, but I'm already looking forward to 2011.
