Simply amazing

The weekend has come and gone and we find ourselves back at the week long grind again. As far as Mondays go this one was not too bad. I played the Maytag repairman for most of the day and my work day was relatively stress free. This evening found me in front of the TV watching SURFACE which is a new series about a scientist who has discovered a new species of life in the ocean. It is a good show if you are into that sort of thing. I remember when X files came out and how I really liked it at first. Then , before you know it the darn program got really weird and I lost interest quickly. Hopefully they (Hollywood) wont run a good thing into the ground again. LOL...

At 9pm Monday night football was the featured presentation at the Moffitt household and the kids went to bed and Katy said she was bored and went to bed early too. That means it was just me, my sunflower seeds , the crickets and frogs outside and my friend Tim on the cell phone. I normally never watch Monday night football but the Cowboys and the Eagles were matched up again for the second time this season. At the beginning of the game I figured that since Dallas was playing the Eagles in their stadium AND Dallas had kicked the feathers out of them the last time they met the Eagles were going to be on top of their game. The first 5 minutes of the first quarter found us with a tied football game 7 to 7 with the Eagles scoring first and Dallas scoring second to tie things up. Then the game turned into a defensive struggle with both teams going 3 and out and punting the ball back and forth to each other. That is when things changed for Dallas in the Second quarter when Bledsoe was blitzed by the Eagles defense and about to be sacked he throws the ball away and into the arms of one of the defenders. Once that happened the Eagles offense took over and scored a touchdown to make it 14 to 7 with the Eagles leading during the halftime.

The third quarter was dominated by the Eagles as they took the score to 20 to 7. I figured by then that Dallas was eagle fodder at this point. I figured they were goners and that was all she wrote. Along comes the fourth quarter with less than 5 minutes to go and Dallas manages to make 2 touch downs and going ahead 21 to 20. The last touchdown that Dallas made was a surprise interception by Willams off of a McNabb throw into the secondary. Williams intercepted the ball on the Eagles 35 yard line and romped into the end zone. Mcnabb, who is the Eagles quarterback thought he was going to stop Williams on his romp into the end zone during the interception and was run over by one of the Dallas linebackers which caused McNabb to further injure his sports hernia. That took McNabb out of the rest of the game which was less than 3 minutes. In the last 9 seconds of the game the Eagles attempted a 63 yard field goal which did not make it through the uprights and Dallas wound up winning the game giving them a 6-3 record in the NFC East and putting them back in first place in their division.

By all rights the Eagles dominated 75% of the game and should have won it. The Dallas defense held the Eagles to 20 points which allowed Dallas to live up to their "Cardiac Cowboys" reputation and come from behind with two quick touchdowns to win it. GO COWBOYS......
