Tom Curran of NBCSports.com actually believes Felix Jones and the Cowboys took it easy on the Bucs.

Joe is still rather chagrin over the Bucs loss yesterday. But he is somewhat relieved to learn the loss could have been much worse.

Worse? That’s the sentiment from Tom Curran of NBCSports.com. He claims the Cowboys took it easy on the Bucs.

Before anyone gets hyped over Romo, though, remember that A) this is a rebuilding Bucs team the Cowboys allowed to hang around and B) Dallas starts fast. Remember last year’s 41-38 epic game with the Eagles? Witholding judgment.

Wow. Dallas allowed the Bucs to hang around? Joe thinks the Bucs stubbed their toe late in the first half when they got away from what they were doing well: running the ball. The successive, quick three-and-outs opened the door for Dallass, and Tony Romo took advantage.
