I don't know if anyone noticed but we were just in the midst of a major crisis.

Not the bailout plan crisis or the larger economic crisis.

No, I mean a real crisis.

There might have been a problem in the Dallas Cowboys' locker room.

Because Terrell Owens, in frustration after a tough loss to the Redskins mind you, said he wanted the ball more. Because Owens may or may not have had a meeting with Tony Romo to discuss his concerns about his role in the offense and Romo's throws to him.

Apparently this counts as a crisis in Dallas where the team was an abysmal 3-1.

But the team's record was neither here nor there I guess.

All you heard was how Owens was "tearing the team apart", Romo was "overrated", and how you could all but erase the Cowboys out of their Super Bowl favorite's role.

My first reaction was to tell these people to get a grip.

Because if I've learned anything it's that in sports winning solves any problem. And thankfully for those in a panic problem solves were on their way in the form of the Cowboys' next three opponents.

The Cincinnati Bengals, Arizona Cardinals, and the St.Louis Rams, three of the best problem solvers in the league. Three franchises that are a director away from being the basis for Disaster Movie part 2.

First let's take a look at the Bengals who traveled to Dallas this weekend. Trust me, the Cowboys could only wish to have the kind of dysfunction the Bengals seem to always have surrounding the team.

A team that is a Michael Vick signing away from fielding an all mug shot team, especially after signing Cedric Benson to bolster their running game.

It was close for a minute there but the Cowboys took care of business 31-22.

Then there are the Arizona Cardinals who Dallas will face next week in Arizona .

They had dreams of the playoffs and a possible first division crown after starting the season 2-0. Those dreams have quickly turned into a nightmare after a tough loss to the Redskins and a beating at the hands if Brett Favre and the Jets. They rebounded against the Bills in a big way Sunday but I still have grave doubts about the team's future.

And last but certainly not, well forget that last sentiment. The St. Louis Rams are without a doubt the worse team in the NFL.

I don't know what else you can say about the Rams that hasn't already been said about a hooptie.

Steven Jackson must be wishing he were somewhere else and Torry Holt probably wishes he could trade places with former teammate Isaac Bruce who at least plays for a team that competes in San Francisco .

The defense is actually worse than the offense. So bad in fact that the defensive coordinator, Jim Haslett, has been promoted to head coach!

And you thought the company you worked for was run by idiots.

If there is anybody who can get the Cowboys back to their "winning" ways it's these three.

The Bengals have already done their part and now it's up to the Cardinals and Rams to do theirs.

So what does this mean for the Cowboys?

Yes!
Add it all up and you have what should be two more wins, smiles on the sideline, and a 6-1 record as the team goes into Tampa Bay before heading into New York for a week 9 showdown with the Giants.

So there you have it everyone. Crisis averted.

No, no. No need to thank me, it's what I do.

Everyone can climb back in from the window ledge and relax.

Whew.

Now I feel safe.
