I could barely contain myself… All day long this past Saturday I had to find ways to keep my mind occupied so that I wouldn’t explode with excitement about the night’s upcoming Cowboys playoff game at “The Death Star” vs. The Eagles (formerly known as “The Dreaded & Feared”) I wasn’t worried at all about the outcome of the game. Really. I just couldn’t wait for it to get underway. In fact, I knew I was in the minority all week when I’d speak to other Cowboys fans & hear: “I don’t know if we can beat’em three times…”. Phoo-ey…! As soon as the week 17 drubbing was complete, I knew that Dallas would not only beat Philly, they would blow them out… AGAIN.
In the first meeting the teams had, at Philly in week 9, Dallas won by three points 17-14. It was the type of low scoring, defensive game, on the road agains’t a good team that the Cowboys were NOT supposed to be able to win. The key was Tony Romo’s ability to beat the blitz on third down time after time. So, naturally, in their next meeting (we all know how that turned out) the Eagles declined to blitz quite so much. This gave Tony & the rest of the Cowboys offense time to REALLY take Philly apart. See below.

So Philly blitzed…it didn’t work. They didn’t blitz…it didn’t work. I couldn’t help but think…”What are they supposed to do now?”. Of course they would make ajustments… but really… how many changes can a clearly inferior team make?!
Donovan McNabb tried to show the Cowboys & their fans that he was unphased by the previous week’s result by doing his Micheal Jackson impression & playing air guitar as he strutted onto the field. It was Romo, however, that proved to be the cooler cucumber. Late in the game he could be seen doing a hilarious, motion for motion, immitation of Ed Hocule’s baseball throw first down signal. Havin’ FUN…

What I didn’t know was that it wasn’ the first time this had happened…

In Closing…the Cowboys proved to have the better team, 34-14, & the funnier quarterback. But remember Eagles fans… it wasn’t McNabb’s fualt. It never is right? And somewhere T.O. had to be thinking…”man, it really WAS my fualt!”-Joey Black

My two favorite things on TV? Metalocolypse cartoons & football… but tonight?…Footy ball first… The F’ing Cowboys just about had me drink myself into oblivian yesterday with that putrid performance against San Diego… 20-17 loss. One huge positive were the excellent ribs! Thanks Sherrey! At least you can say that these last two games have NOT been Romo’s fault. And… if they could shock the world & beat the Saints in N.O. then I’d be able to forget these ;ast two loses. I’m rooting for it… not betting on it.
Man, I just got through watching the 49ers handle the Cardinals 24-9 on MNF. The Cardinals had 7 turnovers…
Every time they went on offense all I could think of was Andy Samberg’s “I threw it on the GROUND” SNL video… it’s Hilarious ENJOY!!!!!

I mean, really, that’s what the Card’s running backs did with the damn football… they put it on the GROUND… And Warner looked like he thought AZ were wearing their red jerseys…the way he kept throwin’ it to the 49ers…
Anyway, bummer about Colt not getting the Hiesman but… remember… Matt Lienert beat out Vince Young for the Hiesman right before the Horns beat USC for the National Championship. I’m hoping history repeats itself! Hook’em Horns!
