DALLAS COWBOYS 2008 MELTDOWN - TIMELINE
1. After their first loss, to the Washington Redskins in week 4, Terrell Owens complains he didn't get the ball enough even though he was involved with a third of the team's offensive plays. A few weeks later the Cowboys trade a boatload of draft picks to Detroit for wide receiver Roy Williams.
2. Adam "Pacman" Jones attacks his team-mandated bodyguard in a Dallas hotel. The Cowboys, Jerry Jones in particular, cover it up. NFL commish Roger Goodell doesnt buy it and suspends his ass indefinitely.
3. Tony Romo breaks his finger on his throwing hand in an overtime loss to the Arizona Cardinals. He is replaced by Brad Johnson, who is so terrible he eventually gets replaced by even-more-terrible Brooks Bollinger.
4. A 34-14 loss to the Rams features three interceptions, the season-ending injury of safety Roy Williams, a vote of confidence for head coach Wade Phillips from Jerry Jones (always a kiss of death), and a front page story about the Cowboys troubles on ESPN.
5. After their 3-0 start, a loss to the division rival New York Giants caps off a 2-4 swoon going into the bye week. Unsurprisingly, team cancer Terrell Owens spouts off that the Cowboys are "not as good as we think we are, or probably not as good as hyped."
