Don’t have time to say much. I think the Cowboys beat the aint’s this Saturday. Crazy ? probably.  Possible ? absolutely. How ? who knows.  It could be a run-away, a nail-biter or anything in between.  It could be a last second field goal from a kicker who is having an off year.

If you watched todays game you know what an UGGly loss looks like.  When nothing you do on offense works and then you manage to do something good and there is a penalty or a fumble thats UGGly. When your defense plays good enough to hold a team to 3 points in a half but you are still losing thats UGGly.

In reality there are no games like that.  The NFL has bad teams and great teams but the beauty of sports is that there is no scripted ending.  http://americasteam.blogspot.com/2009/11/next-big-game-is-here.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (poke)3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8507941.post-8038472478837178426Tue, 10 Nov 2009 03:36:00 +00002009-11-09T21:36:23.564-06:00The moaning, groaning and woe is me crowd seems to have been quieted for a moment.  The gnashing of teeth has subsided temporarily.  Amazing what winning cures. All the internet geniuses, most of whom have never been on a football field that wanted to bury the Boys after the first 5 games have scurried back down into their momma and daddies basement.  Maybe they can perfect their play calling onhttp://americasteam.blogspot.com/2009/11/where-are-all-naysayers-now.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (poke)2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8507941.post-4592532127660090842Thu, 05 Nov 2009 22:34:00 +00002009-11-05T16:38:18.399-06:00Okay I have been shamed into writing a hard hitting investigative blog by the readers worldwide who pay the bills for this highly regarded and widely read blog.

For one thing I am not good at it. Secondly nobody else is either so usually I just figure why bother. This week is different. A bye week leaves me with too much time on my hands.  I get tired of reading the same old stories the local mediots have written for 2 solid weeks. I get it, nearly everybody could run the team better than Jerry Jones.

Last year Tony Romo was being talked about as one of the rising star QB's in the NFL. Last year Demarcus Ware had 20 sacks.

Romo turned in another of those games where you dont believe its the same guy who can play so good. Not having Felix hurts this team more than anybody realizes.

After the game, which the Boys did win in spite of what you may read about how sorry they looked, I checked out my favorite message board for reaction. WOW...Cowboy fans seem to be losing their ever-loving minds. I thought I would read about how awesome our running game looked, especially since our # 3 running back had to carry the load in the 2nd half.

Second game Tony throws for what seemed like that much, only to the guys in blue shirts. First game the Good Guys win by 13 on the road.

The easy thing to do would be for me to say Romo sucks.  Sure he played terrible, I mean really terrible but do you want his backup, Jon Kitna in there ?  I don't.  It's kind of silly to say the Cowboys QB is what makes them a terrible team just one http://americasteam.blogspot.com/2009/09/cowboys-giants-part-deux.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (poke)5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8507941.post-1498228422510489398Mon, 21 Sep 2009 21:56:00 +00002009-09-21T16:56:12.028-05:00 1st Game Experience 4:08 PM Mon, Sep 21, 2009 | Permalink |  Yahoo!
