I was at the game yesterday. The Dez Bryant almost catch happened right in front of me. And for about 3 minutes everyone in the stadium thought the Cowboys had pulled out a miracle victory. They didn't show any replays in the stadium after the touchdown signal. We all thought that the game was stopped simply because Dez Bryant was hurt. And then the official overturned the call. Devastation.
I swear the Cowboys find a new way to lose every time they do it. They literally lost by a fingertip. And really had a great chance to win even after 6 turnovers. There is no way a team should have a chance to win a game with 6 turnovers. The Cowboys did because the defense played great football all day long.
Unfortunately the Cowboys just kept turning the ball over. I felt like Romo atoned for his first half mistakes as he led the team back from a 23-0 deficit. But then Felix Jones had the most ridiculous fumble in a clutch situation I have seen in a long time. Who tries to switch the ball from one hand to another in the middle of the field with defenders all around. Felix Jones sucked all game long and he blew it when his team needed him the most.
The Cowboys have to be the most frustrating team in the league to watch. They seem to have enough talent to compete with anyone but they make so many stupid mistakes it is hard to believe. You would like to point the finger at someone but it seems to be a different guy nearly every time.
On the bright side it was great to see Jason Witten show why the Cowboys only made Martellus Bennett a low ball offer to stay as the #2 tight end this offseason. He is a future hall of famer. Too bad it seems that his talents are going to waste as the Cowboys continue to be stuck in mediocrity.
The season is slipping away very quickly. It really feels like the Cowboys need to reel off about 4 or 5 wins in a row to really get back in the playoff picture. Based on what they have shown so far I have no confidence that this team can do it.
That game was just so weird. So difficult to stomach - the team has talent, but the coaching is poor (Garrett has a lot to answer for - 3 time outs, and no running plays on a 2nd and 1 ... Time to fire Jake, and we should hire Norv to run the offense) and players continually make stupid stupid mistakes.
ReplyDeleteJust as disappointed as yall, however it is a long season, and there are 8 teams with better records and several with the same. If we can have 6 turnovers and play with last seasons super bowl champs and nearly beat them without Murray, our starting center ( i think). I like our chances. I think we will play and even upset Atlanta, they havent faced off against a solid defense like Dallas. Eric F
ReplyDeleteyou are what your record says you are....I agree, we can ALMOST beat teams with all these injuires, however, we are not winning....
ReplyDeleteI agree. You said what I've always felt about the Cowboys. How can they have such a high level of talent year in and year out, yet lesser teams with better coaching and focus seem to get it done. I think that the cowboys really have one of the greatest squads that they have had in the last five years, but they just can't play up to the expectations that have been set for them based on their talent. Its very disappointing to say the least. They need discipline!
ReplyDeleteHope this guy didnt kill himself!!! :) Eric
ReplyDeleteDude seriously watching this team lose the way they have it's hard not to at least consider it
ReplyDeleteit is a concern,(not that i think he jumped off the ledge) it is not like this guy to not post, or, at least write a post stating he would be offline for a bit...hope he is okay. He does a solid job in his writing and I enjoy checking it out each week. Maybe he is just staying away until the next Cowboys' win which will come Sunday at Philly! GO COWBOYS!
