The Dallas Cowboys played horribly yesterday. I was embarrassed to be a Cowboys fan for the first time in a long time. After scoring first on a Julius Jones run, the Cowboys could not get their offence in sync. The Saints, led by the Drew Brees, had no problem getting their offence into a rhythm. They completely humilliated the Cowboy's defense by scoring at will. Tony Romo, the Cowboy's former back-up QB, was flustered and frustrated with the lack of offence. The Saints, whose defense is average, shut down the Cowboy's high powered offence. Dallas wide reciever Terrel Owens was contained for most of the game and caught a fluke pass that should have been intercepted. The Cowboys placed too much pressure on Romo by abondoning the run early in the game, and forcing the offence to rely on passing. A critical weakness in the Dallas defense was exploited by the Saints, and it is now a template for other teams to use when plaing the Cowboys.
