Cowboys

We had already begun planning for the draft, scouting players during college bowl games." Thats when faith kicked in. A surging New Orleans Saints team kicked a game winning field goal over the bucs and propelled that cowboys into the playoffs. "I was excited but at the same time disappointed for Miles", Hoyt said. Miles worked with the recievers, espically young rookie Emmanuel Sanders. We wondered how Romo would do and he answered against the Eagles, throwing for 349 yds and 5 tds, including one to Sanders. The cowboys escaped Philly with a win and onto a very familer opponent, the Detroit Lions.
You see the cowboys have never beaten the lions, they have been a thorn in there side since the very first game owner Bill Hoyt had ever owned the team in which they lost 2-0 (remeber that Ron...that was the real score!) The last 2 years they had knocked them out of the playoffs and were the reason for coach Jimmy Johnson getting fired. The question? Could Romo shine again and do what he has never done before? Play well and beat the might Lions? "I had been working with my defense since i became coach "primetime" said." However, i expected this game to come down to Romo and his ability and hope they defense made one stop. Romo however played terrible again against detroit, throwing for 228 yards 2 td and 3 int's. "Thats all i threw Romo said" I feel like i through 5 or 6 out there, Our defense played there butts off out there and probably saved me my job!
Romo hadn't lied, on the very first drive of the game Jeremy Maclin jumped to catch a pass and Paul Posluszny hit him hard. The ball popped loose and FS Jarius Byrd made a great play to scoop up the INT. This lead to the cowboys first score and a 7-0 lead. The Lions scored on back to back possesion (one after a Romo int) to go up 14-7. Dallas drove to the 2 late in the half and couldnt convert and Detroit had the ball with less than a minute to go in the half. The defense shined for the 2nd time forcing a 3 and out and a punt. Dallas recieved the punt with 30 seconds left, completed 2 passes and kicked a 57 yarder to go into have down 14-10. "I felt good coach Sanders said, if Romo could limit the mistakes, id hope we would win on the last possesion of the game. On the very first drive however Romo would throw his 2nd pick of the game. "I wont lie Romo said, my head was down at that point. The defense rallied for a 3rd time to only hold the lions to 3 points, and the score was 17-10. Romo equipped and ready to go rallied the team and drove down the field. On a 2nd and 10 he threw to Joe Mcknight, who fell and Romo saw his day get worse throwing his 3rd int. "I stayed as far away from coach as i could after that one Romo said." With all the momentum gone, the cowboys thought they would suffer the same fate as years in the past. Thats when i little known cowboy began his MVP like day. On a 3rd and 2 Brady dropped back and threw a slant route to Larry Fitzgerald, only to have it picked off by young corner Morgan Trent, who was only in the game because of an injury to Donte Whitner. The cowboys bench erupted and the offense ran onto the field. It looked like another stop was in order until on a 3rd and 10 Romo scrambled and made the one big play they needed, finding rookie Emmanuel Sanders for a 38 yard strike down the sideline! The cowboys would score on a QB sneak from Romo and we were tied at 17.
The ensuing kickoff was recieved by Jeremy Maclin who was hit hard by someone's whose name had already been called before, again it was Posluszny, who knocked the ball lose, for none other than Morgan Trent to pick it up and scramble 19 yards into the endzone. "That was the biggest play of my life" Trent said. After the kickoff with the cowboys leading 24-17 Brady prepared for another comeback. However on the very 1st place from scrimmage he threw a pass over the middle that was picked off for the 2nd time of the day by Jarius Byrd. Byrd set the cowboys up for a field goal and a 10 point lead. After 4 turnovers Brady trotted out one last time and in desperation took the team to a 4 and out, including a big 4th and 2 stop of Adrian Peterson. The cowboys added one more score and got the jet warmed up leading 34-17. The Cowboys scored 31 points of turnovers and held the most prolific passer in NML history Tom Brady to just 92 yards passing. "right now were comparing this to the USA knocking of Canada in the 1980 olympics." Owner Bill Hoyt said.
We will have more from Dallas throughout the week, the biggest question now, can the Boys finally get over the hump and reach there first powerbowl? And is Dallas ready for the potential to be the first ever team to play in a Power Bowl that they were hosting? We will know in a few short weeks. The only thing that is certain is that the Cowboys will begin next week with the Detroit Lion monkey, finally off their back.

Dallas- 3 weeks ago the cowboys were beat on a last second field goal by the Washington Redskins. The loss put the cowboys on the outside looking in on the playoffs.Week 17 saw a beching from division foe Philadelphia of there stars and dallas picked up a win, however losing there number 1 offensive threat Miles Austin. "It was tough to see him go down but at that point we werent extremely upset owner Bill Hoyt said.

The cowboys didnt have to travel far this morning for there first NML Championship parade. As they walked down the street to the millions of there fans an elated coach Sanders said "Its Prime Time in Airlington". The Cowboys off another win, are the 2010 Power Bowl champions. Tony Romo who played fantastic won the Power Bowl MVP throwing for 309 yards and 3 tds. " Man it feels great to be the champs! I

have spent the last few years watching Tom Brady hold this trophy, it feels good to have the accomplishment for my self" Romo stated. What is perhaps more impressive is Romo's Playoff run, without Star Reciever Miles Austin who had over 100 Receptions 2000 yards and 20 TDS on the year. Romo without his favorite reciever in 4 playoff games threw for 13 tds 5 picks and 1041 yards, including 2 game winning drives against the Eagles and the Panthers. He made Brandon Tate and Emmanuel Sanders, seldomly used targets, one a rookie and the other a year old player look like all stars. In those 4 games the two youngsters combined for 19 catches 330 yards and 6tds "He was impressive all postseason" Coach Sanders said. I hope the league recognizes his leadership and appreciates the type of player that he is, that hes become." "I wish i was part of it" Austin stated. With the success of Romo without Austin it has been rumored that Miles would be on the block. "Those rumors are absolutely false" an ecstatic Bill Hoyt said. "Miles is a pivotal part of this team, and will be a cowboy next year, no matter what." Hoyt said the cowboys still need help on defense, mostly OLB and CB and will look to improve there WR core to give Romo more weapons. He also said that they will continue to look for a feature back to improve there running game and some help on the OL to protect there franchise QB.
