Halftime: 17-10 Bills - Playing catch-up.

It was a pretty forgettable start for Dallas tonight, as the Cowboys started from the 2 on their first possession (following a Buffalo punt), and promptly handed the Bills the lead early in the first. On third and 10 from the 2, Tony Romo overthrew Jason Witten, and George Wilson was there to pick the pass off and return it 25 yards for a score.

Four plays into the very next possession, Romo was intercepted again on a pass intended for Witten. But, this time Angelo Crowell did an excellent job of jumping the route and getting a diving pick in front of Witten.

The Bills got the ball at the 44, but the Cowboys defense rose to the challenge and stopped Marshawn Lynch on a 4th and one at the 35.

Romo shook off the two early picks to lead the Cowboys to the game-tying score early in the second, as he completed 5 of 6 passes for 71 yards, including a 22-yard touchdown to a wide-open Witten to get Dallas on the board.

3:26: Unfortunately, rookie QB Trent Edwards has been sharp tonight, and led the Bills right back down the field. The Bills have smartly used a lot of short passes to pick up yards, and Edwards used several to complete 7 of 8 passes for 70 yards on a clock-draining, 15-play, 73-yard drive, getting the Bills in position for a chip shot field goal by Rian Lindell to make it 10-7, and that’s where we are right now.

3:00 - Actually no, that’s not where we are right now, as Romo just threw another pick six. A penalty on the ensuing kickoff put Dallas back at the 11, and on the first play, Romo’s pass was battled in the air, and picked off in the end zone by Chris Kelsay.

At this point, halftime is looking like a welcome sight, unless the Cowboys can get something going on this drive.

2:05: And, it couldn’t have come soon enough, as Romo threw interception #4 moments ago, with Jabari Greer being the lucky recipient.

This one seems to be getting uglier and uglier by the second. When you’ve completed seven passes to your guys and four to the other guys, and you’re still in the first half, you’re in need of some adjustments. As good as Romo has been so far, this is astounding - and not the kind of astounding he’s been in the first four games.

Two-minute warning: The Bills don’t look like they’re going to be putting on an explosive display on offense, but if these kinds of mistakes continue to happen, then Buffalo may well get a chance to wear down the D. As is, Buffalo has held the ball for over 18 minutes already, with Dallas having it less than 10. Something needs to turn around quick, otherwise it could be a pretty humbling (to say the least) nght for the Cowboys. Green Bay had a win in the palm of their hands against the Bears last night, but ruined their chances with turnovers and mistakes. It’d certainly take the wind out of the sails of this team to do that, and out of the much-anticipated matchup with New England on Sunday.

0:36: We’ve still a long way to go, so Dallas isn’t out of it by any means. The door just opened for the Cowboys to get a little momentum before the half, as the Bills just missed a 54-yard field goal, giving Dallas the ball at the 44 with half a minute to go before the break.

Halftime: And, there we go. On 3rd and five from the 49, Romo found Sam Hurd for 22 yards to put the Cowboys into field goal range. Since the last timeout was used after the first play on the drive (a rather curious run call), Romo had to spike it, and Nick Folk came on and booted through a 47-yarder to pull Dallas within a touchdown at the break.

It might have been the worst half Tony Romo will ever have, but that one completion to Hurd might have been what he needed to get things going in the right direction. The Cowboys will have the ball to start the second half, so they’re one drive away from having the game right where they want it.
