I came away with a nervous tick

Hope it doesn't give you Nervous Lyme Disease.

Derp!

This was like a concession speech.

I guess it really was, but there was no election. I thought for a moment that he was about to retire. Such a somber tone. Hopefully, this quiets the incessant reporting about the conundrum they have, and they can go on fully focused on each game. Good to know that we have the best backup in the league.

I hope he restructures his deal, plays 2 or 3 more seasons in this role, and transitions to coaching.

Class guy. Class move.

Fucking Go Cowboy. And Cowboys.

"I feel like we have two battles or two enemies going on: one with the man across from you and the second with the man inside of you. I think once you control the man inside of you, the one across from you doesn't really matter. I think that's what we're all trying to do."

That's some pretty good stuff.

lumberjim · 11-15-2016, 06:37 PM

I'm glad I didn't sell his jersey all those times

classicman · 11-16-2016, 10:40 AM

I was impressed with his speech also.

Eleven and one. And we get to confront that One next Sunday. That one point.

Grisly, frustrating game against a stingy Vikings defense last night. Felt like a stolen win. Not an enjoyable performance by the gilded rookie phenoms that have dominated the highlight reels this year, but a win nonetheless.

My opinion, this is just as good as a gut check loss. A wake up call. This hardens resolve. It props up faith. It lets the competition know that it will have to win all 3 phases of the game to beat them.

That's not an easy thing to do. It forces opponents to dilute their focus when game planning.

Ugly game to watch. Beautiful ugly win.

I found it strange that none of those badass Cowboys teams from my youth had never won ten straight before.

lumberjim · 12-07-2016, 11:34 PM

Right?

This team looks so smooth. Like they just assume they're going to win each game. And then they do.

I rewatched the one loss last night, and they were the same way, except they didn't finish drives with 7s. A couple of plays that made the difference were missed because the sun was literally in their eyes. And one bad decision by KW who didn't get out of bounds cost them a shot to win with a long field goal.

I'm hyped for this game.

lumberjim · 04-04-2017, 12:47 PM

Romo is retiring. All signs point to him joining Jim Nantz on CBS. I'm pleased. Only thing that would have been better is if he had taken a big pay cut and played back up to Dak for 3 more years or so.

He probably would not have had the networks courting him at the end of that though.

Congrats, #9

I never heard him speak. Is he articulate and insightful? An Al Michaels or Chris Collinsworth kind of guy?

lumberjim · 04-04-2017, 01:41 PM

He has a kind of annoying tooth sucking thing he does, but that's coachable.

I think he made the right call. Hopefully good in the booth.

classicman · 04-05-2017, 06:14 PM

Is he articulate and insightful ...or... a Chris Collinsworth kind of guy?

Cannot stand him ... jus' sayin'
