Week one we saw the good Tony Romo, week two we saw the bad Romo. 

Tonight 21-7 win over the Panthers we saw the good Romo despite the Panthers swarming defense.  Romo did successfully keep the ball under control the whole evening with no turnovers.

Garrett's play selection was much more improved over last weeks lost against the New York Giants.  The Cowboys were able to efficiently run the ball, rushing for over 200 yards for the game.

Pass protection was challenged as Romo was sacked twice in the first quarter, as the Panther defense was over zealous on blitzing the Cowboys.  The Cowboy offensive line struggled all night to contain the Panther's blitzer's.

Romo got much needed help from the Cowboys defense, who limited the Panthers to only seven points.

Tonight it would be the opposing QB to be hit with turnovers, as the havoc wrecking Dallas Defense punished the Panthers QB Jake Delhomme for three interceptions.

Next week it's a trip to Mile High Stadium with a match up with the 3-0  Denver Broncos.  Another test against a top contending team.  Will Romo and the Cowboys pass this test?
