Armchair Monday

Coming into Week 9, the Dallas Cowboys are 1-6 and looking to snap a 4 game loading streak adc they travel to Green Bay and face the surging Packers.

I knew this game was going to be a challenge when I first looked at the schedule. Without Romo and with the Cowboys playing like they are, I wasn't looking forward to watching this Sunday night contest.

And I was unfortunately not disappointed. An early interception by Kitna, a fumbled kick return that was brought back for a touchdown and a non-existent defense characterized the first half, which ended 28-7. The only bright spot of the first half was the final drive of the half by the Cowboys, with Dez Bryant showing up for the game.

Of course, several calls that went against the Cowboys were obviously incorrect and just continues the example of the refs playing against the Cowboys on a regular basis.

The rest of the game wasn't any better and not really notable, except for the flagrant launch by the GB defense back at Roy Williams that should have resulted in an ejection but because the refs don't like the Cowboys, was a mere penalty.

I think this season is pretty much done for. With a 1-7 Record, the Cowboys would need to run the table against a very rough schedule to even be a distant thought for the playoffs. At this point, I think its time to start playing some of the rookies and get them some game time so next year we have some experienced backups ready to go.

Result: 7-45 (L)
Record: 1-7
