how to do it without just rambling and ranting and raving about last nights game.
WHAT an ending to a big BIG game.
First off, our Boys came out flat, played uninspired, sloppy and weak football.
We were lucky to only be behind 14-7 at the half. That mistake by Bledsoe where
he tried to Brett Favre a dump pass to Barber when Barber was busy blocking could have been the end of our hopes to keep the Philly crowd out of the game.
Then we came out for the second half and it seemed we had made no adjustments to
Phillys newfound ability to run the football.
Like Madden said, and i paraphrase because i cant be expected to accurately quote
someone.......when the green shirts are pushing the white shirts backwards on both sides of the ball your team isnt doing good. And thats what was happening. Our lines
were getting whipped. Bledsoe was hurried, hit, harassed, harried and basically
not getting much time to throw. As i watched the game i felt like Drew just wasnt
"on " his throws. Then when i looked at the stats i see Drew was 17 for 24 for 196
yards with a 91.7 QB rating. I guess my eyes were playing tricks on me. I am not
an expert, i go with my gut feeling. Luckily i waited until i could check the stats
before i started writing this thing.
I was starting to think our defense would never stop the Eagles, then we make a
good stop at the goal line and hold Philly to a field goal . That turns out to be a huge difference.
All of a sudden, with only 3:44 left and the good guys losing 20-7 that same listless, uninspired bunch of players start to do something..away from home, at a field known for its "home field advantage ". A 20 something yard run from an offense
that only had 58 yards running the whole game. Then good old Terry Glenn ( not Aaron
like Madden kept saying ) slips past the Eagles and scores on a 20 yard pass.
Okay, cool..showing a little life. Too little too late probably but hey hold your heads up and play hard. Good to see even if you dont win the game.
Then a short kickoff and the Eagles have the ball on the 35, all they need is to get
a couple of first downs and we are finished, through ,kaput, finito.
2nd and seven, we havent really stopped them rushing the ball very good all night.
This is where Santa Claus comes to the rescue, in NOVEMBER!!!!!
The Eagles do the unexpected..a short pass, to the outside. To a WIDE-OPEN ROY WILLIAMS !! a 46 yard interception return for a TOUCHDOWN !! throw in a block
by Bradie James # 56 ( not scott shanle # 58 like Madden and Michaels announced )
---side note here----the players have numbers and their NAMES on their jerseys
so it shouldnt be that hard to get it right John and AL.
and oh yeah, also James is black, Shanle is white so if the
names and numbers dont help use that information to help.
sorry...i just get tired of those guys. i realize the play on the field was interfering with their ongoing diatribe about the " T.O. thing ", but try and give
us accurate info if you do talk about the play.
Anyway, thank you Santa McNabb. i now do believe in miracles.
Congrats to the Cowboys who didnt play their best but never quit and found a way
to win, on the road, from behind. Thats a good sign.
Man arent ya'll glad i didnt rant and ramble ?? later Poke

I have had four days to ponder the Cowboys win on Monday night. Since then I have seen a new grand-daughter come into this world. I watched as an old family friend left this world. I had the opportunity to deliver a five year old to school every morning. Throw in a meeting with an insurance adjustor, a couple of meetings with a roofing contractor and a trip to the dentist and that gets me up to where I am. With a lone exception Tuesday morning when I was dropping of the five year old at school not one person was as excited or impressed as I was with the fact that the Cowboys had won. Oh my, I've forgotten the question!
Hey readers of my brother's blog. I am not doing a commercial for anyone or anything. There is a local television station here that has put together a documentary on the damage to this area by hurricane Rita. I have seen it and ordered it for myself. If any of you want to know just how destructive a hurricane can be this is probably a good buy. The station is KFDM and the website is kfdm.com . On the home page you will see click here to purchase dvd inside a box with Hurricane Rita across the top.
