COWBOYS GETTING WHIPPED IN ST. LOUIS

The Dallas Cowboys’ first drive went very well.
Everything since then? Not so much.
With Tony Romo sidelined by a broken pinkie, quarterback Brad Johnson has had a fumble and an interception. Marion Barber has lost a fumble, the Cowboys’ defense is playing badly without cornerbacks Terence Newman and Adam “Pacman” Jones, and the Rams are up 21-7 at the end of the first quarter.
It’s looking so bad right now that former Cowboy Daryl “Moose” Johnston, calling the game for Fox, said of Cowboys coach Wade Phillips, “This thing is starting to get away from you.”
Before the game it was reported that Romo would play only if things got “completely haywire.” A 21-7 deficit might suffice.
