NFL Week 15: Cowboys 24, Saints 17

Summary

Yes my followers, yes, the improbable happened. The Dallas Cowboys walked into the Superdome on Saturday night with virtually no chance, from the columnists point of view, to defeat the undefeated New Orleans Saints. In the words of Tony Dungy, not verbatim though: "The Dallas Cowboys have absolutely no chance to beat the New Orleans Saints tonight." Oh really Tony, really?! To be honest, i think the only people who gave Dallas a chance WERE Dallas FANS, but i even heard some Dallas fans say we were gonna lose. I predicted this game 2 weeks prior that we were gonna win, and no one listened to me. They say I was being a homer, a dick rider, a super fan, etc. Well, we did it, just like I said! It was a solid game from everyone, defensively and offensively. Tony Romo played like a MVP, throwing for 312 yards and a TD on 22 of 34 passing. Our defense was the star this game. holding the high flying Saints to their lowest scoring total of the season. They also sacked Drew Brees 4 times, pick him off once and caused and recovered two fumbles, one in which sealed the game. The domination started when the Cowboys went on their first drive and scored on a 49 yard pass from Romo to Miles Austin, who had 7 catches and 139 yards. Dallas held the saints to 0 points in he first half, something that hasn't happened to the Saints this season, and three straight 3 and outs. Our only flaw that game was our special teams, mainly the field goal kicking..mainly Nick Folk lol. He missed a game sealing field goal that could of put the Saints away permanently, but thanks to the defense, the hope of a Saints comeback was shot down. We gave the Saints their first loss, something 13 teams before us couldn't and didn't do.

NFL Week 13: Giants 31, Cowboys 28

*long exhaaaaaaaaaaaaale*

I didn't watch the game, I only saw highlights and heard a scarce amount of game audio. I just heard and saw enough though to know that we blew a game we had won. This game was in the palms of our hands and we let it slip right out. The moment shifter was Marion Barber's fumble right before the half that set up a Giants touchdown. Despite Tony Romo playing LIGHTS out by throwing for 3 TD's and 392 yards and no picks, Jason Witten having a monster game with 14 catches and 156yards and Miles Austin beasting with 10 catches, 104 yards and a TD, we jst found a way to lose. With every analyst in the world talking about our December woes, by playing like this, we are just proving them right.

NFL Week 12: Cowboys 24, Raiders 7

Summary

This year we added the Oakland Raiders to the laundry list of teams that we annually slaughter on Thanksgiving. Every year we always have a stellar performance from one player, and this year, to nobody's surprise, that guy was Miles Austin. He lit up the stat sheet with 145 yards on 7 catches and a touchdown. This is such an accomplishment because he did it against arguably the best cornerback in the league, Nnamdi Asomugha. Our run game wasn't too shabby themselves either. we rushed for 195 yards and 1 TD. Each of our running backs had long runs over 40 yards. Tashard Choice had a 66-yard blast on a wildcat play, Felix Jones had a 46 yard scamper that was also a TD and Marion Barber III had a 42-yard run. As usual, we were clicking on all cylinders on defense and offense. Tony Romo threw for 309 yards and 2 TD's along with zero interceptions. As a team, we didn't have a turnover and we caused one. Critics will say this wasn't a HUGE win because it isn't. BUT, keep this in mind: the Raiders beat two winning teams (Cincinnati Bengals and Philadelphia Eagles) who has a combined record of 15-7, and one is a division winner.

(Sorry for the late post!)

Summary

What can I say about this game? Except that the Cowboys stunk like hot garbage juice on an early summer day. For the second straight week, Dallas was held scoreless until the fourth quarter. They could not convert on 3rd and 4th down situations, and the were missing vital red-zone conversions and field goals. the only thing that allowed us to rally back and win was Shaun Suisham's two missed fields goals. Miles Austin had himself a bad day, only catchign for passes for 43 yards. One, and the only, thing that was good is that when it counted, Romo came through in the clutch and delivered our only touchdown to Patrick Crayton after Romo spun off a defender who could've ended the game with a sack for a loss of yards. None the less, we weren't supposed to go down o the wire with a team that we are CLEARLY better than. I guess that why you play the game*shrugs*

NFL Week 10: Packers 17, Cowboys 7

Summary

The Cowboys came into Lambeau Field with a four game winning streak, the hottest receiver in the NFL in Miles Austin, a quarterback in Tony Romo that was playing lights out, and a high-powered offense. That usually equals domination, correct? Wrong! We left that field with a loss, a laundry list of injuries and an empty feeling, just the opposite of a win. Last week against the Eagles, I blogged about how we won as a team and worked perfectly together. This week, ironically, we lost as a team. You cannot put blame on anyone for this loss. We had several opportunities to make plays and we blew them. Sure, you can say Roy E. Williams dropped a wide open pass and he fumbled, but he had 105 yards and set-up a couple of scores. Our O-Line, even before Colombo got hurt, wasn't protecting AT ALL, Nick Folk missed an easy short yardage field goal that would've given us the first lead, Romo threw a COSTLY interception at the goal line and we lost several fumbles that led to Packers scores. This loss can't be blamed on anyone except the Dallas Cowboys.

Side Notes.....

Right Tackle Marc Colombo left the game with a broken left fibula. He hasn't been ruled out for the season yet...Free Safety Ken Hamlin left the game with a groin injury. He will be out 3-4 weeks...This loss snapped Dallas' four game winning streak...The Cowboys have had at least 3 sacks in seven straight games...Romo is still the winnignest Cowboys quarterback at Lambeau field despite being only 1-1 there.

NFL Week 9: Cowboys 20, Eagles 16

I'm not going to do the regular loong, drawn out blog with this one. Why? Because I'm PUMPED!!!! This was the BIGGEST game of the season and we delivered like Papa Johns! I think everyone in America picked the Eagles to beat us except Cowboys fans lol. The main reason I didn't go with the extensive blog is that we played as a TEAM, we played as ONE. Nobody out shined nobody in this game. There were only a couple of notable plays and stats. Tony Romo threw his first interception in the last 143 passes without one, Miles Austin only caught one ball, which was a 49-yard touchdown and basically the game winning touchdown and he continued his four game TD catching streak, DeMarcus Ware another sack this game, making this his fourth straight game with a sack.

Overall, this was just a HUUUUUGE win....HUGE!!!!!!
