It's a sad time for Cowboy's fans!
 

This is about the saddest I've ever felt as a Cowboys fan. I still can't believe how that game ended from the reversal of the first down to the botched field goal. It just wasn't meant to be. Don, give me some words of encouragement from your end!:(

Game
 

I told my wife if the Raiders would have lost a playoff game like that I would have thrown the chair through the TV set!! Tough one.

I threw a pillow at the dog instead.

You never have been as intense as me. LOL!! Pillow at the dog?? Come on man! Shoot the neighbors cat or something. Oh that's right, I'm the one who's the Raiders fan! LOL!

RM,

I started yelling at the TV so my dog got scared and started running away from me. So, I picked up the pillow and hit him on the run. Kyle was scared - he has never seen me during a Cowboys playoff game. I tried to warn him that I am not responsible for what I do during the game. I don't know what happens to me - it's crazy to get caught up in something like that.

My wife has learned to deal with it. Our first big fight was during our first week of marriage - Dallas was playing the Rams in 1985 in a playoff game - Dallas lost 20-0 I think. She wanted to go shopping and return some wedding gifts. I said you don't understand - Dallas is on TV and I never ever miss a game especially a playoff game. Anyway, I stood my ground and in 21 years she has just accepted that about me. Now when Dallas is on TV and in a playoff game, the whole family leaves the family room: except for the dog.:)

watch out below!!!!!
 

man bryan that is intense.you actually scared kyle?the dog know's how you are when the cowboys games are on and he still comes into the room.that's funny.i'm like that when i'm decaling my wife and daughter's come in to talk to me and they see i'm decaling and they shout quick leave the room dr.jeckle is about to make an aappearence,save the woman and children first!!!.then if i'ts not to late they leave the house and wait till it is safe to return.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...... ..............that's funny B .....
My family must leave the room when the playoffs are on, but since the skins were home watching too, not a lot of noise out of me....

That is EXACTLY the reason I like dogs better than most people. Their loyalty is unquestionable and they are always willing to forgive. And how do we humans reward the loyalty shown to us by these amazing creatures? Well, by throwing stuff at them for things they had nothing to do with.

I'm glad I'm surrounded most times by my loyal canines. It's the humans I encounter that need to duck, not the dogs. :eek:

On another note. Though I have learned that I have no control over what happens on the idiot box except that I can change the channel or turn it off, I still get caught up in the excitement of the competition but have learned to realize that nothing I say or do will change the outcome from my living room. I learned these things the hard way at about age 28-32 or so (quite a few moons back). I use to throw stuff at (and sometimes through) the walls, like ashtrays. I didn't toss them like some limp-wristed lollipop pitcher. I chucked 85 mph bullets. Didn't take me long to understand the instant rewards for my uncontrolled stupidity. It's called glass/ceramic/plastic cleanup and wall repair. A few dents in the wallet later and having to spend TOO MUCH precious time on sheet rock repairs. Lesson learned.

So the pillow wasn't a bad idea BN. Just do the right thing next time.... Aim it at a human, not the dog. :D

Cowboys Loss
 

This totally Sucks!Now I have to listen to the frickin charger fans!5 weeks ago Romo and I were at the top of the world.Last night I had to explain it to my Cowboys.They took its so hard their stoic; as if there were made of plastic.

And for you long time Cowboy fans no relation to a certain RB calling a certain coach a 'plastic man'.

aaaaggggggggghhhhhh!

Yeah guys it stinks, but wasn't there a 1 and 15 season? I always compare our seasons to that one. I'm not one of those optimistic people either, I just know how bad it could be.

I am excited about our players. We have a bright future ahead. The best thing we have going for us is our owner despises losing. He may be a budinski, but at least he wants to win. Cheer up guys, we still have our undefeated little EFL Cowboys.

i was depressed for two days, im finally getting over it.

Words of encouragement...
 

Bee,

In our lifetime our team has played in 8 Superbowls and won five of them. We've had 5 Superbowl MVPs and 2 Superbowl Co-MVPs for a total of 7. We've witnessed the miraculous comebacks, leadership, and passing ability of Roger Staubach. The awesome runs by Perkins, Dorsett, and Emmitt. The aerial artistry of Bullet Bob, Drew, and Michael.

What about the "D"??? 2 incarnations of DOOMSDAY as well as Jimmy & Dave's undersized but fast as lightning #1 defense.

Our highs have included 20 straight winning seasons, the Hail Mary, Clint Longley's Thanksgiving day massacre of the Skins, and Roger's last regular season game (of his career) against the Redskins.

Our lows have included the Icebowl, The Blooperbowl, and the "Catch". In the grand scheme of things... Romo's blunder against Seattle really wasn't that big of a deal to me. Stuff happens!!!

We have been so blessed the last 4 and a half decades with this franchise and it's wonderful traditions that we sometimes forget that there are many other organizations in the NFL that still haven't experienced this type of success.

So my friend don't sweat the events of last weekend. There will be many more chapters to write in the Cowboys Saga in the years to come. If my words of encouragement doesn't make you feel any better, just remember... You got to watch Tom Landry stroll the Cowboy sidelines for almost three decades. That in itself was worth the price of admission.

Peace,

Don
