With Tony Romo Injured, are the Cowboys no More?

With a broken left collarbone, Romo and the Cowboys hope
 seems to have run out completely.

Monday night, October 25th 2010, all hopeful outlooks for the Dallas Cowboys remainder of the season were crushed. Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, faced a broken collarbone in the beginning of the second quarter with 12:07 remaining. Number 59 Michael Boley, the weakside blitzing linebacker during this specific play rushed straight through the offensive line and flattened Tony Romo immediately after he completed his pass to his favorite target, Miles Austin. All the immense pressure landing on Romo's collarbone has caused panic throughout Dallas, as this injury will keep him sidelined for the next 8-10 weeks and almost no chance to contend for the playoffs, let alone the NFC East division title. Before the injury, everything seemed to have been going the Cowboy's way with a 10-7 lead and the football driving down the field. Tony Romo had finished 5-7 for 39 yards and a single TD, but obviously was not enough to lift the Cowboys to a victory.
          Once he had walked off the field with the collarbone injury, the opposing team, the New York Giants, went on a 31-10 scoring tear to take a comfortable 38-20 lead heading into the four quarter. Jon Kitna took over for Romo following the injury, but it was obvious that he did not hold the same poise Romo contains, eventually leading to a 41-35 and falling to a rough record of 1-5. Kitna finished the game 16-33, 187 yards, and 2 TD's but still makes you wonder only how far can he take the Cowboys as a contending team? Not far at all I believe. With the doubts about Tony Romo as a starting quarterback, it will be interesting to see how poorly the Cowboys will perform with Kitna in his place. With this season gone haywire, it seems the Cowboys are ultimately done for the season and makes fans and haters alike wonder, are the Dallas Cowboys no more? Can they ever make it back to the dominant and consistent team they used to be?
