I am embarrased this morning to have so little to write about. I am going to have to do some research on the game and analyze some stats in order to get a better picture of what happened on Sunday, thanks to FOX for giving me the Packers game.
But until then, here is my reaction from what I did witness in the final two minutes. I watched the end of the Bears game on TV and it got be really pumped for the Dallas game. All throughout the fourth quarter the commentators teased viewers with anticiaption for the Cowboys road game.
There I was, on the couch, in my Romo jersey, laptop in hand...WHAT?! Packers vs. Seahawks!!! I was lividddddd! Don't get me wrong I completely understand why we got the Packers game, probably a few more cheese heads in Iowa City than Cowboys fans. None the less, I was heartbroken.
So...I took a nap, and awoke to watch the final two minutes of the worst Cowboys performance I have witnessed in recent history. The defense went three and out to give the Dallas the ball back and the opportunity make a legitimate quest for the win, or at worst a tie.
They fumbled around, wasted some time, and completed a last effort pass to Jason Witten to set up a long field goal. A 5 yard penalty made the kick makable, then Arizona attemped to ice the kicker with a time-out just as the kick was blocked. Nick Folk had a second chance and the kick saled throught he uprights, sending the game into overtime. Two times in the past minute of play, Arizona had given Dallas the game on a silver platter.
Sorry hold on a sec... I am a little bit distracted by some breaking news that's just come in on ESPN about Tony Romo. I'm Going to start a new post about that...be back to finish this one in a few.
Well, well, well, that changes things quite a bit. My mind is racing right now, but let's go ahead and finish with my reactions from the end of Sunday's game.
As everyone knows, Dallas won the toss giving them the ball in a sudden death over-time. They failed to convert on offense, the kick was blocked, touchdown scored by the Cardinal special teams, game Arizona.
I'm not exactly sure where to start. It was horrible. They couldn't do anything! They didn't look like themselves, or a team picked to go to the super-bowl. Dallas has some things to figure out, espcially now with Romo out. Jeeeeez, what a mess!
