Dallas Cowgirls lose again

I can NOT believe this. OH, hold on folks, sure I can believe it. The Dallas Cowgirls lose to the Redskins by one field in the last second of the game. The Redskins field goal kicker kicked a 47 yard field goal that bounced off the right upright and then went through for the winning score. What is sad about this is that Dallas had an opportunity to do the same thing on the play before that and the Dallas front line could not keep the defenders from blocking the Dallas field goal. The Dallas field goal was going to be a 30 yard field goal that would have won the game for Dallas. On top of the field goal being blocked Dallas manages to commit a face mask penalty that gave the Redskins 15 EXTRA yards in which to kick their field goal.

Several things cost Dallas this game. The first thing that cost them the game is when they got greedy in the second quarter and tried to make a 2 point conversion instead of just kicking the extra point. Had they done that they would have one the game by one point. The second thing that cost Dallas the game was their apparent inability to stop Burnell from throwing into the Dallas secondary at will. Burnell with the Redskins have more than enough time to throw the ball to his receivers. I am not sure why but the Dallas secondary was playing zone offense the entire game and most of the time the Redskin passing game went forward without much problem. The next thing that cost Dallas the game was when Terrel Owens , the 25 million dollar joke, dropped a ball that Romo put in his hands in the second half which would have resulted in a Dallas Touch down. Speaking of T.O. who in the world does this guy think he is. Dallas is ahead by 6 points after the touch down and this clown lies down in the end zone and uses the football as a pillow as if he is asleep. How arrogant can you get T.O?? I am glad that the referee threw a flag on him for doing that. Can we say poor sportsmanship? This is the same person who has written a childrens book? What kind of role model do we see on the field in Terrell Owens? The funny part of all of this is that the Cowboys organazation is barely hanging on to the second place position in the NFC East. Does a record of 4 wins and 4 losses give us the room to be arrogant and cocky? I do not think so.

How many games can Dallas afford to lose this season? What will it take before Dallas learns how to play consistant football? We never know what to expect from one game to the next. I predict that Dallas will win against Philadelphia and then lose against Arizona the following week. Dallas and Philadelphia are tied at 4 wins and 4 losses and Dallas is still in 2nd place in the NFC East. If they keep losing they will drop to 3rd place and then we will have a repeat of last season where Dallas just fell apart at the end of the season.

On a positive note I have to say that Tony Romo played a very excellent game. Romo only got sacked once and he was not intercepted which is a good thing. It was good to see that Romo is able to move out of the pocket and when there is nothing available he pulls it down and eats the loss. During the NYG game he was pressured into throwing the ball and trying to force a pass completion. That shows me that he is maturing some in the game which is good.

Well, there is always the next game. Lets see if my predictions are correct.
