Like all of you, I have officially been depressed for the last five and a half hours.. We have waited 9 months to see our Boys back in action.. All the big moves in the offseason, all the hype, and the way we looked dominant in the preseason had built to a climax.. I felt like an 8 year old boy on Christmas Eve all week this week.. The Boys were gonna be back in the Super Bowl this year, I could feel it.. We were gonna take it all this year, I could feel it.. All my Cowboys buddies, family and friends, got together with some pizza, some chips and queso, a bunch of soda, and got ready for kickoff.. Our defense shuts them down after a few plays.. Im excited.. We come out flinging the ball, and I am high fiveing all my buds.. Julius runs for that touchdown and I am literally jumping up and down.. I tell everyone I know that this is our year.. Our defense shuts them down.. We drive down the field and go up 10-0 and look dominant in every phase of the game.. All those months of waiting and waiting were well worth it and made it that much sweeter.. I forget thinking about whether we are gonna win or not and become more concerned with shutting the Jaguars out and how many points my Cowboys players were gonna score for my fantasy team and how many people Roy was going to knock out.. Stars were in my eyes.. All my hopes and wishes and beliefs about this Cowboys team were coming true..
And then bye bye Miss American Pie.. This was the day the music died..
My heart is sunk.. I had plans with friends tonight but I cancelled them because I haven't felt like doing anything.. I didn't turn on the Manning vs. Manning game because I didn't want to watch any football.. I have avoided cowboyszone.com because I didn't want to read about how bad we sucked.. I have been laying in bed for the past few hours just completely bummed out..
But you know what? We are 0-1.. We lost to a 12-4 team on the road by a touchdown.. If we beat the Commanders next week, we will be 1-1 and 1-0 in division play, and we will have the taste of sweet revenge in our mouths.. It's gonna be a really hard week, but it's time to start thinking clearly.. We have a good football team.. We have a really good football team..
And there was plenty of good things out there on the field today.. We've read all the bad stuff, let's hear what we liked about today's game.. It can be something in general or could can be a certain play.. Anything goes.. If nothing else, this should make us feel a bit better cause we will have a bunch of positives laid out for us..
One rule: nothing negative in this thread.. There are 400 other threads for that.. Don't try to be Mr. Funny or Mr. Realist.. This thread is to serve one purpose: seeing some positives in the middle of all the negative chaos.. An oasis in the desert.. I'll start..
1. Roy's interception.. That was a thing of beauty.. He was one on one with a Wide Reciever and he had him blanketed.. Roy's coverage was nice all day, actually, and he had a nice pass breakup earlier in the game as well..
