Jerry World Trip Round 2

So I don't think I'll be attending another Cowboys game this year, or maybe ever. I've been to two games this season. The MNF game against the Bear's which I would rather never speak of again, and then the NY ass Giants game yesterday. Now, I know some of you who probably are only mediocre sport's fans probably are saying "Oh, it was a great game, they almost came back! How can't you love the effort they put into coming back"? I'll tell you why....because we still LOST. Remember when you were on that team with the fat kid back in elementary school and you lost a game and his Dad would always say "Hey, it's how hard you try, not the result"? Yeah, you're being that guy. Nobody likes that chode. As a matter of fact, the thought of having to even be known to associate with that guy is sickening. Now onto my actual thoughts of what the hell actually happened yesterday.

First, I want to say that the Cowboy's e-mail to season ticket holders about making crowd noise on 3rd down completely worked. The stadium was twice as loud yesterday than it was on MNF. The bad thing is that we didn't even know it until Romo was three picks deep and it was boo's you were hearing instead of cheering. I really don't understand what the hell was going on out there. The fact that you just pretty much spot the World Champions twenty-three points is so outrageous to me. These are professionals who go out on the field and play like actual retards. Romo gets ZERO credit for anything yesterday. Oh, you almost led us back? You threw for 400+ yards? Great man, cool. Your pretty much the kid with the fastest wheelchair. I can't understand how a NFL quarterback can be this inconsistent.

Second, Felix Jones is probably the worst first round draft pick the Cowboys have ever taken. He literally fumbles or does something wrong whenever we actually need him to make a play or just fall down instead of fighting for an extra yard and a half. I just can't even talk about how terrible the timing was for that fumble yesterday.

Third, Dez Bryant has to be one of the biggest idiot's to play the game of football. You can't just make up your own routes. Where has it been ok for someone to do that? Romo isn't good enough to just know that you're going to do whatever the hell you want. Then I even have to worry about you fielding punts. I knew right whenever the punt went up that the angle he took to catch the ball was not looking good. Not only did he muff the punt, but then he decides to not run with ball high and tight but keep it just flailing outside of his body and puts it on the ground again. It's really hard to do this because how can your most electric player be someone that you have to worry about to make a bonehead play? The only way he could've redeemed himself is if the caught the pass at the end of the game. This is a guy who has a lot of stupid drops already and if it wasn't ironic enough that it all ended with him catching the toughest pass he's ever had to catch in the NFL, but he has a fingernail out of bounds. It's amazing to me that it had to be him. Under some much scrutiny week in and week out and he's the one it comes down to. There's always a "but" with Dez and they just keep continuing.

Now there was some good things but not many. The defense played absolutely lights out. They shut down probably one of the best offense's in the league and nothing fired me up more than watching Sensabaugh make what seems to be his first big play ever, just light Cruz up! Props the entire defense though I was very proud of their perfomance. I also think we just saw Claiborne prove that he deserves to be a starting corner in the NFL as well.

Jason Witten probably had his best career game with the Cowboys. Whenever everyone thought he might be running out of gas and that his career would be slowing down he proves everyone wrong. Hauling in eighteen receptions for 167 yards was something nobody had ever done for the Cowboys. The reception mark was third all time for the NFL, and he let every Cowboys fan know that he still has plenty in the tank. Thank you Witten for actually showing that somebody still cares to play good football on this team.

Honorable Mention: Miles Austin, Dez Bryant, yeah he still had a good game even though he played an idiotic first quarter and couldn't be clutch whatsoever, Ernie Sims, Jay Ratliff, Brandon Carr, Offensive line.

The game yesterday is something that will stick with Cowboys fans for awhile. In my memory it might be the most memorable game of this decade, maybe second to when the Boys came back and beat the Eagles on the Roy Williams pick a few years back. It could have been one of the most memorable games in their history if Dez Bryant makes the catch but unfortunately that isn't the case. But I do think this game will dictate how the rest of the season goes. It could fire them up to finally play a whole sixty minutes because they know they can compete with the best of them now, or they lose any kind of confidence they have after suffering a blowing defeat like that. The way I see it, is that you still have a chance in this league until you have a nine in the loss column so until that happens there's still a chance.
