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.

(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 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!!!!!!

Summary

The Cowboys continued to roll as the pasted the Seattle Seahawks in a 39-17 in Cowboys Stadium on Sunday for their 3 straight win. The offense was clicking on all cylinders and were almost flawless. Tony Romo had a another great game with 256 yards in the air along with 3 TD passes to 3 different receivers. Also, for a third straight game, Romo hasn't thrown an interception, which is a career first. In his last 5 games, Romo has thrown for 8 TDs and one pick and is 4-1. Miles Austin didn't have his usual monster game, but he contributed with 5 catches for 61 yards and a score. Our run game flourished, but not like it usually does. As a team, we rushed for 113 yards on 29 carries, which is a 3.9 yards per rush average.Where we really shined at was our special teams. Patrick Crayton returned a punt 82 yards for a score, This is the second straight week that he has returned a punt for a TD. Our defense played good, but gave up over 300 yards this game in a winning effort.
