You're Kidding Me

I understand blogging is supposed to be your first reaction to something...

Tonight's game had 3 "you're fucking kidding me" moments. The first was the ball inexpicably bouncing away from Ken Hamlin and right to a one-armed Derrick Mason on a LeRon McClain fumble. The second was Willis McGahee's 77-yard run after Dallas' offense finally decided to start playing. Hamlin makes that tackle 80% of the time. Ugh. The third was McClain's 83-yard run after the offense had gutted out another long drive to pull within 2. The last two runs happened within 3 minutes of each other. Ridiculous.

These are plays that happen on Madden, not in the NFL. How can any self-respecting defense NOT make those tackles. To be honest, I didn't watch the McClain run but hte once, so I can't really offer any explanation- but know that those types of runs rarely happen once- let alone twice- in games. For the D to play so well for 3.5 quarters then fall apart is devestating.

Dallas does not deserve to make the playoffs. I have no idea what that means- long term. Should Wade lose his job? I dunno. Should TO be cut? Dunno. Is Romo the real deal? Dunno. Can Dallas win a game of importance in December/January? Dunno- but know that they need to in order to be taken seriously. Too many questions, and not enough answers. Ugh.
