Don't be too hard on yourself.....but twice is the limit.
I did it once.
The Cowboys were playing the San Fransisco 49ers in the playoffs. Roger Staubach had missed the entire season after being hurt in the preseason. The starter was Craig Morton.
The first three quarters was so painful, the 49ers jumped to a 28-13 lead after Morton had 3 turnovers in Cowboy territory. Landry decided to put Staubach in the game despite the fact that he hadn't played all year. I thought, that not even Roger could bring them back from this and I felt my thoughts were confirmed when he fumbled on his very first play. I left to go outside and take out my frustration with a neighborhood football game. it seems a lot of kids had the same idea as me,.
Anyway, as we are playing in an empty lot, we begin to hear simultaneous screams from many houses. That could mean only one thing:
Sure enough, the Cowboys came back halfway through the 4th quarter and rolled off 17 consecutive points that included 2 awesome TD passes by Roger, an onside kick by Toni Fritsch, and miraculous defense.
The Cowboys won 30-28 in the greatest comeback in Cowboy history....and it was a playoff game with Roger making his first appearance of the season.
