Seattle Seahawks 21 - Dallas Cowboys 20
A 19-yard field goal was all that stood in the way of the Dallas Cowboys taking a 2-point lead with only 1:19 left in Saturday's Wild Card playoff game against my Seattle Seahawks. After the automatic chipshot, the Seahawks would get the ball back needing to drive for a game winning field goal with no timeouts left to stop the clock. Unfortunately for Cowboys fans, overrated quarterback Tony Romo couldn't hold on to the ball off the snap and kicker Martin Gramatica never even made an attempt. The Seahawks took over on downs and ran out the clock to win the game.
It was a fast paced back and forth contest with action at both ends that included four-lead changes from start to finish. Most of the action took place on 4th-down, with both teams making gutsy calls to try and get some extra points on the board. But Tony, all you needed to do was hold on to the ball. That's the kind of play that will haunt a man.
Romo stated off the year as the back-up to veteren quarterback Drew Bledsoe. After Bledsoe was used as a scapegoat by fans in Dallas for a disappointing start to the season, Romo got the starters job. Although he played well early, he's struggled in later games. And tonight...well...the image speaks for itself.
As you can probably tell, I'm not a Cowboys fan, never have been. In fact, I'd rather see almost any other team win but the boys in blue. But to have my Seattle Seahawks as being the ones to knock them off makes it all the sweeter.
Go Hawks!

At least we have that much in common. As a Niner fan, I've always hated the Cowboys.

Good, you are not a redneck white trash then.
