Shocked and awed that Dallas squeaked by the Redskins

I could not figure out who was the most pathetic team on the field today when the Cowboys and Redskins managed to squeak out 13 points in four quarters of play in Arlington Stadium.  In the first quarter the Dallas offense seemed to show some promise as Marion Barber and Tashard Choice as they ran through the middle of the Redskins defensive line.  All of our hopes were dashed to the ground when Marion Barber manages to get hit and coughs up the ball and Tony Romo was forced to take down the defender who then knees him in the back.  It seems that just as soon as that turn over happened it was a calamity of errors.  All of a sudden the Dallas offense was all thumbs and could not manage to get close to the red zone.  During one of the sacks of Tony Romo he gets desperate and just lobs the ball up to where the Redskins were able to pick it off during a fourth down and two yards to go.  I am not sure why the Dallas offense decided to run a play pass on 4th and 2 when it was obvious that Dallas could run straight up the middle. 

At the half time Dallas was ZERO and the Redskins where 3 when it should have been Redskins 6 and Dallas 3.  Both field goal kickers missed very easy field goals which was sad.  I wound up missing the only touchdown of the game from Dallas when I had to take my teens to church.  Yes, as a Dallas fan I am glad that Dallas managed to limp out of this game with a win especially since it looks good on the stats.  When Dallas meets up with the Oakland raiders on the road I hope that they decide to come to the game with the attitude of winning by playing the game the way they should be.  Dalls has a Championship football team with a lot of depth.  Dallas has the players and those players have a lot of talent.  What Dallas does not have is cohesiveness.  They do not play like a team and they are sputtering out of the gate way too late in the season.  In my opinion Dallas is in deep trouble.  I do not know what the answers are but I am hoping that someone in Dallas figures it out very quickly.
