Dallas to correct mistake vs Redskins?
It all started against the Redskins. At least that’s what Cowboys wideout Terrell Owens claims.
After all the hype that has surrounded the Cowboys before the start of the 2008-09 NFL football season, America’s team has lost two of their last three games and are sitting at the very bottom of the NFC East.
That probably has something to do with the absence of franchise quarterback Tony Romo, who sat out the team’s last three games with a broken pinkie. Veteran Brad Johnson tried to fill in but only managed to give the Cowboys a single win in the three games that he started behind center.
Was Romo’s injury the reason why the Dallas Cowboys have been losing lately? From a casual fan’s standpoint, that’s probably stating the obvious. But as far as T.O. is concerned, the Cowboys’ troubles didn’t start with a broken pinkie on a hotshot quarterback.
And while Terrell Owens probably still continues to complain about the limited touches he’s been having on the field, the controversial wideout said that their team’s troubles didn’t start with Romo’s injury but as early as the first month of the season, when the Washington Redskins handed them their very first loss. They went on to lose three of their next four games afterwards.
‘’I think the loss to Washington made a lot of people raise a lot of eyebrows,’’ Terrell Owens said. ‘’I think those two games alone kind of let everybody in this locker room know you got to have sort of a self check like, ‘OK, we’re probably not as good as we think we are, or probably not as good as hyped.”’
Owens probably has a point. Although it is already well documented that the Cowboys are 1-3 without Tony Romo, they have gone 1-2 WITH him after losing to their NFC East rivals from Washington. Did the Redskins do something to this Cowboys team that all of a sudden, America’s team has been coming to the field without their mojo?
For what it’s worth, the Cowboys are looking forward for their Week 11 game when they might finally have a full roster, a healthy one, to send to the field. The problem is, they’re facing the very team that Owens claims, started the collapse for Dallas, the Washington Redskins.
Ugh.
