The Walking Dead: Cowboys Continue To Decompose In 45-7 Loss To Packers

After Dallas’ 45-7 loss to Green Bay on Sunday night, we’re past the point of hyperbole for Cowboy fans. They’re far too proud a fanbase to sit back and let this continue without consequences. Cowboy blog Blogging The Boys is asking Cowboys owner Jerry Jones to do, well, anything at this point.

Kitna is now 13-of-22 for 126 yards, one TD and two INTs on the night.

As if matters couldn’t get worse for the Cowboys on Sunday night, Dallas fell behind 21-0 late in the second quarter after a Greg Jennings touchdown catch only for the ensuing kickoff to be initially ruled a fumble and returned for another touchdown by Nick Collins.

Broadcast reviews showed that the fumble by Bryan McCann should have been overturned as his knee hit the ground before the ball came out, however the Cowboys were out of timeouts and the fumble occurred just before the two-minute warning, meaning the close call would not trigger an automatic review by the officials.

The Packers have taken a big early advantage via the featured back in their mostly struggling running game. Brandon Jackson, who has scored only two touchdowns all season since taking over for the injured Ryan Grant has two touchdowns, one rushing and one receiving, in the first half of the Packers’ Sunday night contest hosting the Cowboys. That matches the two touchdowns Jackson has through the first eight games of the season.

Not that Jackson has been a huge force through the Packers’ two scoring drives in the first half, as he has 31 total yards midway through the second quarter. Nevertheless, as the scoreboard would indicate, it’s been all Green Bay thus far, with Dallas yet to advance beyond the 50-yard line.

It’s been a Sunday night game that’s been dominated by defense through the first quarter of play, but the Packers made the most of their first trip into the red zone. Aaron Rodgers, who the graphic shows has struggled more on 3rd down in 2010 than 2009, hit Brandon Jackson for a nine-yard touchdown on a 3rd down and 2 from the Cowboys’ 9.

The scoring drive was set up by an interception by the Packers’ Sam Shields. What could be expected with a Dallas offense still struggling with the absence of Tony Romo, the Cowboys attack has still been stilted thorough through their first few drives.

(Sports Network) - Eight weeks later, the world’s upside down.

Vultures were circling amid reports earlier this week that Wade Phillips would be the initial casualty of the 1-6 start, but the fourth-year head coach has at least temporarily survived, thanks in large part to Jones’ reluctance to make such a drastic in-season move.
