Preview Cowboys vs Panthers

The Cowboys look to rebound from a very disappointing loss to the Ravens last week. When Bryant dropped the potential 2 point conversion to tie the game and then Dan Bailey missed a last second field goal to win the game. But the bye week proved to be very helpful to the Cowboys. During the Ravens game the Cowboys had a very effective offensive line using the tight ends to help the blocking. They also paved the way to a very effective run game. Murray and Jones rushed for over 90 yards, and with Murray getting an ankle sprain, Jones as the starter looks like he will be able to get some yards against the Panthers. Romo was also much better with the interceptions, throwing just one the whole game. Now there are 2 things to really work on for this Cowboys team. One is to work on the audible calls and killing the play. It is great that you kill the play Romo if it is breaking down or the defense is ready for it. But you can't kill it with little time left on the play clock, it leaves your receivers with little time to shift. So when its wrong, there's a foul and it pushes you back farther making it harder to convert. Next special teams also needs to be fixed. Why sign Dunbar if he never returns a kick off and only got one carry for the run game? The kickoffs have not been great this year so the starting position has not helped the offense. And then the Ravens were able to get a 108 yard kick off return, those are points that should not be given up and cost the game. Now the Panthers have struggled greatly this year. Cam Newton has been Super man week in and week out and the defense is giving up to many big plays. For example against the Falcons. They pinned the Falcons on the one when the Falcons needed to score, and then the Falcons got a huge pass and were able to score and win the game. Their main problem is the defense. So I think with Jones at running back, and Romo stopping the interceptions. The Cowboys should be able to score easily. Plus with the defense being dominant as usual, and the run defense looking a lot better last week. I think the Cowboys will be able to win this game 28-10 and go to 3-3.
