DENVER - Nobody seems to know. Not Wade Phillips. Not Tony Romo. Not Jerry Jones. I asked all three why MBIII had only one carry in the second half and none of them had an anwer. "I'm not sure why," Jones said. "I haven't talked to him, whether he's tightened up a little bit or not. He is not, to my knowledge, had anything worthy of giving me a (injury) report about." Of course, Barber's absence isn't the only reason the offense was awful. The offensive line had its worst game, surrendering five sacks. Martellus Bennett had a big holding penalty. The wideouts couldn't get any separation. And, of course, Romo was ineffective. The offense gets a big fat F. And although the defense played solid, Anthony Spencer missed an interception and Terence Newman gave up the winning TD to Brandon Marshall. I'll give the defense a B, though, because Bradie James recovered a fumble and Keith Brooking made a huge fourth down stop. Really, the defense played well enough to win. Bottom line: T...

Via Dallas Cowboys And The NFL  |  October 04, 2009
DENVER - Shaking off a thigh injury, Marion Barber started for the Cowboys and gained 1 yards on his first carry. (UPDATE: On his third carry, Barber ripped off a 9-yard run for a first down. He shows no sign of being bothered by the thigh).

A first for Tony Romo

Via Sportsday  |  October 04, 2009
For the first time in his career, Tony Romo has gone back-to-back games without a touchdown pass. Sunday was just the seventh time in his 43 starts in which Romo has not had a touchdown throw. The Cowboys are 3-4 in those games. Romo has thrown 93 passes since his 1-yard touchdown throw in the second quarter of the Week 2 loss against the New York Giants without a touchdown. He...

Romo has lost his touch

Via Dallas Cowboys And The NFL  |  October 04, 2009
DENVER - With the running game stopped, the Cowboys have turned to Tony Romo to make plays. Only problem is, his throws are all over the place. Romo just went 0 for 3 on Dallas' last possession, misfiring badly on all three plays. The series also included a holding penatly against Martellus Bennett that wiped out a 16-yard run by Tashard Choice. Somehow, though, the Cowboys continue...

Witten not involved in passing game

Via Sportsday  |  October 04, 2009
Jason Witten is Tony Romo's favorite target. Not this game. Six different players have caught a pass for the Cowboys in the first half. Witten isn't among them. Romo hasn't even looked in his direction. That's a far cry from Monday night's game, when Witten had eight of his nine receptions in the first half.

Yes my friends, Champ Bailey is back. After being tested over and over again by Tony Romo, Champ ended up with an interception and a game winning play where he covered Receiver Sam Hurd so well, it lost the Cowboys the game.
