What in the world are you talkin' 'bout Tig? you might ask. Then again, if you know me, you already know I would be referrin' to today's Cowboys game versus the Redskins. With four first half turnovers, it could have been really bad for the boys with the stars on their helmet 'cept the defense pretty well kept those pesky Redskins pinned back on their heels. With a blocked extra point on the first score, the score at the end of the first half was Cowboys 7 - Redskins 6. Tuna musta chewed some ass in the locker room at the half because the offense seemed to have gotten their heads out of their butts in the second half. I mean that last touchdown pass from Quincy Carter to Terry Glenn was one for the highlight reels. Hambrick's two fumbles might place him in Parcell's doghouse on a permanent basis, but QC's interceptions were somewhat excusable, the second being more the fault of the receiver. A late, fantastic drive by the 'Skins made the final score of 20-14 suggest a somewhat closer game than what it actually was. The Cowboys were the superior team in this one and it could have been a run-away lopsided victory early except for the plethora of first-half Cowboys miscues.
I do want to say, however, that Patrick Ramsey will likely be a premiere quarterback in the NFL provided he survives long enough to play up to his protection. He showed great poise and intelligence despite being repeatedly rushed, hit and thrown to the ground.
Well, I am thankful for the win, but Tuna has some work to do before next week's game. They likely ain't gonna get past Buffalo if they throw away the first half of the game.
