The Craziest Cowboys Blog You Might Ever Read



This past Sunday, the Cowboys played against the San Diego Chargers, getting beat besides trying to pull off what could have been one of the greatest comebacks in two seconds. How much a fan can dream, that comeback sadly didn’t happen. You see, if you don’t watch NFL football then you wouldn’t know of the December streak the Cowboys hold. The Cowboys always start the season good, but come December the Cowboys have never won a playoff game since 1996; quite a long time. So come December Cowboys fans are always a little apprehensive, no matter how big of a Cowboys fan you are. But you know what, no matter what the past years behold, this is the year that the Dallas Cowboys can break the record. I’m not saying they will and I’m not saying they will not, I’m saying they CAN.

I’m a big trash-talker when it comes to football. I always have comebacks to strike back. So when the Cowboys played the San Diego Chargers this Sunday with most of my friends being Charger fans I was able to convince them they could lose. It was amazing seeing my friends saying, “yeah I don’t know about this game” and have that doubtful look on their face. They thought their team would lose to a team who is known to do terrible in December! And you know what’s even greater than that? On SportsCenter the Cowboys were picked overall to win the game, yep they were saying that in December! That right there just might have been worth it, even if the Cowboys lost. But as I just said the Cowboys did lose so of course right when the game ended my phone went crazy with calls and text messages of what I think about the Chargers now--- my answer: I still think Phillip Rivers is arrogant and has anger issues. In the fourth quarter just two yards from the goal line the Cowboys got a false start penalty taking them back five yards. Phillip Rivers felt the need, like he does in most games, to tell one of the best tight ends who does charity work and is known for being one of the most liked players in the whole league to tell him he “sucks.” So yeah I think he’s arrogant. By the way, the Cowboys scored that touchdown.

So I needed to give a response to my Charger friends for the loss of my beloved team. I decided I wouldn’t address the Phillip Rivers comment, instead I choose to say the Cowboys lost on purpose, yep I actually said they lost on purpose. Attended as a joke I said the Cowboys lost on purpose because breaking the December record against a team like the Chargers, a team we rarely play, wasn’t good enough. Yep, I actually said this. I continued saying, a game like next week against the unbeatable team like the New Orleans Saints would make a truly awesome game. The Dallas Cowboys like to rise to the occasion when all hope is lost. In the Charger game, the Cowboys received the ball in the last minute down by 10. What the Cowboys did was move down the line like they were playing against a college team. Every pass was made perfectly and first downs were made right after each other. This is the second time this season the Cowboys has done this, even though they pretty much lost the Cowboys suddenly are able to score when they needed to. Which goes to show they Cowboys can indeed, if they wanted to, beat this record and win a playoff game. And if there ever was a season to do it, this season could be the year.

Now, don’t get this wrong in any way, but I’m not saying they will win or lose to the Saints... Its possible, anything is possible. The Saints have gone into overtime three times this season and won only by luck in some of those… one of them being against the Cowboys one-of-many rivals- -the Redskins. But what I am saying is a playoff win is in view. The Cowboys have a hard December, they always do. They do after all play in the hardest division, you have to give them credit for that. However the Cowboys CAN win, I believe they see that too. Although the Cowboys have lost the last two games (both December), they didn’t lose them like the Cowboys usually do. Usually the Cowboys do downright awful, but this year the team is playing good games. When playing against the Giants, another rival, the Cowboys actually technically played better. Quarterback Tony Romo and Tight End Jason Whitten played one of their best games racking records throughout the game, but as we know it wasn’t enough.

The Cowboys have dealt with embarrassment and harassment for too long over December and the no playoff win record. Last year the Cowboys lost a heartbreaking loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, the most vicious of rivals just from that game. It hurt the players and brought some to tears. The last game of this season is yet again against the Eagles and any Cowboys fan knows the returning players will not forget that memory. This year the Cowboys CAN, they know they CAN, and they WILL break that record. Against all the odds, you can quote me.

Go get ‘em Cowboys!
