The last few seasons for the Dallas Cowboys have caused the team and fans serious heartbreak. The 07′ 13-3 season ended with a disappointing loss to the New York Giants in the divisional playoffs, the 08′ season ended in a 9-7 season missing the playoffs. The last game of the regular season against the Philadelphia Eagles was an embarrassment, 44-6 loss.
Tony Romo was appointed the next great quarterback prematurely perhaps - that doesn’t excuse the rest of the team under performing over the years.
The NFC east will be very difficult to win for the Cowboys, the New York Giants look very strong thus far and the Philadelphia Eagles are strong as well.
The Cowboys have, if not the best, one of the best running duos in the NFL with RB Marion “The Barbarian” Barber and Felix Jones, - during the colder months running the ball will become even more important.
The Giants were a difficult opponent for the Cowboys, and this game might not be as easy to win. Many experts varied in their predictions for this game, and it was bound to be a close one. Romo vs. Manning, what a great rivalry.
Tony Romo has excellent targets, the problem is he throws it to other team much too often and needs better ball control. The Cowboys are potentially a 10 win team - which can keep them competing for the NFC East title. With the Giants being the favorites to win the NFC East title, the Cowboys may settle on a wild card birth and make some noise in the playoffs and get that “no playoff win since 1996″ off their back.
The question the Cowboys need to answer is who are the locker room leaders. Romo will need to take the next step, manage the game and make plays when necessary and not be “Tony Turnover”.
As long as Tony Romo can keep it together, the Dallas Cowboys can compete with any team in the NFL.
