Dallas Cowboys vs Carolina Panthers
Both the Cowboys and the Panthers lost close games to division opponents last week, the Dallas Cowboys lost a nail biter 33 to 31 to the Giants. In the loss the Cowboys displayed one of their best running games since the Emmitt Smith era. Marion Barber and Felix Jones combined for 210 yards on 25 carries, but even this was not enough to overcome Tony Romo’s untimely turnovers. One has to wonder why the boys did not stick with a run game that was netting around 8.4 yards per carry, especially when your quarterback is clearly having a bad game Romo was 13 of 29 for 127 yards 1TD and 3int’s. A further kick top the Cowboys when they are down coes from the fact that Marion Barber appeared to pull or strain his hamstring when he pulled up lame just in front of the endzone towards the end of the game.
The Panthers are having quarterback problems of their own, Jake Delhomme posted a QB rating of 14.7 in week 1. To put this in perspective last week Tony Romo’s was 29.6. Jake Delhomme played better in week 2, going 25 for 41 with 308 yards 1TD and 1int. Unfortunately for the Panthers the interception came with 2:30 left in the game and was close to the endzone, and lead to a Falcons victory. The Panthers have a running duo of their own with DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart who combined for 144 yards on 25 carries.
