Not that I was, but I ever wondered why the Dallas Cowboys haven't won a playoff game since I was in middle school, I don't need to wonder anymore. I saw this on ESPN....
For the second year in a row, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo has fallen short in his attempt to advance to sectional qualifying for the U.S. Open. Romo did not give himself a chance to go deep in qualifying, shooting an 80 at the local level Monday, the Dallas Morning News reported. He shot 44 on the back nine, with five bogeys and a triple-bogey on No. 16 sacking his scorecard at Dallas National Golf Club. He shot even par on the front nine in the rain.
According to the Morning News, Romo will try to qualify for the HP Byron Nelson Championship on Tuesday at Stonebridge Ranch Country Club in McKinney, Texas.
For the SECOND YEAR IN A ROW? So during last year's offseason, RIGHT AFTER he watched a division rival win the Super Bowl after knocking them off during the playoff run (you know the game...it was the one following the bye week where he went to Cabo. Fun, I know. I was just there. But then, I'm not trying to win a playoff game this week. I'm just writing a blog...) the guy doesn't decide to work his tail off to come back stronger. Nope, he plays golf. He doesn't lift extra weights or spend extra time with his coordinator to avoid YET ANOTHER LATE SEASON SWOON. Nope he attempts to qualify for the US Open so he can get his butt kicked by Tiger Woods.
WOW.
And now that he's been more focused on a 2-iron opposed to the cover-2, and throw in the fact that TO has left Roy Williams as his #1 receiving option and you can stick a fork in the Cowboys.
Unfortunately I will also have to say that Dan Snyder's obsession with getting another QB other than Jason Campbell (hey I'm glad he finally joined the rest of the Skins fans in wanting that, but you DON'T DO IT IN PUBLIC and destroy your QB's willingness to play for you!) to run the show might have hurt the Skins chances. Well that and the fact that Jim Zorn is the coach and Clinton Portis still realizes it. (We hope). Nope, a Campbell to Portis with Moss and Cooley just isn't as good as other NFC combos out there so I think the Skins are headed to another 9-7 season. That means they miss the playoffs, but get a crap draft pick. GREAT! CANNOT WAIT TO DRAFT TIM TEBOW NEXT SEASON. WooHoo. (oh, and I hope Snyder doesn't go after Urban Meyer next season. I hope he learned his lesson about UofF coaches......)
Factor in that the Giants cut loose Plaxico, leaving ___ as the #1 receiver option (I was hoping someone could fill in the #1. and tyree and hixson don't count) and the Eagles, ESPECIALLY WITH THAT DRAFT, are the LOCK for the NFC East title.
Yes McNabb will likely miss a game or two with an injury, but with Westbrook and LeSean McCoy in the backfield and DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin as receivers, this team is going to go 11-5. That's good enough to win the NFC east.
And McNabb will likely then lead this team to the NFC Champship game, where the Eggles will lose to Atlanta (throwing Paul Mac a bone there) but you have to like that you haven't heard any stories about McNabb trying out for the PBA or anything of the sort.
No, through gritted teeth I say that Philly will take the East this year because of their positives, but mostly through everyone else's negatives. Especially Tony Romo, who STILL seemingly hasn't won a game after the month of October. Tony, perhaps you should throw a little more Peyton and Brady into your game. Yes, they do commercials too, but they've won something. Win something, THEN you can try and make the US Open.
Just a suggestion. In the meantime, move over as Matt Ryan has just pushed you farther down the line of quality QBs in the NFC. Matt Stafford too, and he hasn't even played a snap. And I dare say that Tim Tebow will as well and I think he'll be a FULLBACK in the NFL. Sorry Tony. Maybe you could try out for the Icelandic pingpong team?
