Tony Dungy: Cowboys should be concerned

I like listening to Tony Dungy's analysis on Sunday night. No yelling. No catch phrases, but he's really giving some pretty well-founded opinions. I know - that's such a change from things at the four-letter network - but, for me, it works.
Tonight, Dan Patrick asked him about the Cowboys and December. Dungy said the Cowboys should be quite concerned in the wake of this loss.
"You are starting to see the breakdowns of the past, big plays against the defense, break downs on special teams and the offense is moving the ball, but not delivering the knockout punch," Dungy said.
What watered things down a little, however, was Patrick asking Dungy and Rodney Harrison about Tony Romo going to Las Vegas 10 days ago. I still have no issue with a one day trip on a completely dead weekend. And it's not like Romo performed badly today with a career-high 392 yards, a 112.2 passer rating and a 75 percent completion percentage.
Both Dungy and Harrison, however, called the trip a mistake. Maybe from the general fan's perception, but did it really have an impact in that locker room? And if Romo was singled out, should not Miles Austin have been singled out, too?
I still believe Vegas is a non-story. But until the Cowboys have a convincing December, every action by every player on this team is going to be examined and re-examined.
