Now, starting 1-5 is a disappointment, and losing Tony Romo last week against the Giants (likely for the rest of the year) was even more of a disappointment. But the year isn't over quite yet so I still have an inkling of hope.
The game against the Jaguars will be Jon Kitna's first start since 2007 and his first play (with the the exception of last week against the Giant's) since 2008.
Well this game didn't start off as very promising. In the first half, the defense looked like it had given up before the game even started. The offense didn't give much help either, with two passes bounces off of receivers into the hands of Jaguar defenders.
Toward the end of the half, the usual "Barbarian" Marion Barber was held out of the end zone two straight plays leading to a 14-3 game at the half.
The third quarter looked like more of the same, with another pass bouncing off of a receiver and being intercepted by the Jags. The defense couldn't stop the Jaguars and by midway through the quarter it was 28-3 Jacksonville.
The fourth quarter pretty much closed out the game. Though the Cowboys managed to finally get something going, they were only able to score twice, leaving the final score at 35-17, an 18 point deficit. While this is the first game they've lost by more than a touchdown, against such a mediocre team it is most definitely going to be one of the final nails in the coffin as the Cowboys have a punishing November and December schedule.
Result: 18-35 (L)
Record: 1-6
