NFL Sunday Cowboys & Lions Oh My!

Cowboys Fans: Better to laugh than cry, well maybe?

Cowboys fans like myself are having another QB reality check as we struggle with our fearless leader on the field, Tony Romo.  And, like Giants fans we have to channel our displeasure right down to the passing arm.  After all, as the saying goes it is better to laugh than to cry, well maybe?

Here are this week's prize winners for poking fun at Romo and the Cowboys.  Cheer up fellow fans, somethings gotta give, and be thankful we are not 0-6 like our NFL neighbors to the north.

Just remind Romo to aim for the stars, not the feathers this week.  It's all in good FUN!

#2 Brandon Fields whose career average stands at 46.4 yards per punt according to one source delivered consistent kicks throughout the game.  His 64 yard punt that landed well into the end zone brought a round of applause from fans.

Fans enjoyed some impressive plays from special teams, but most were less impressed with former Oregon State player QB #8 Matt Moore.  From our seats the fun to watch guy was #7 QB Pat Devlin. You might remember Devlin as a former Penn State, and Delaware transfer player who holds the Pennsylvania high school passing record.

Pat Devlin faces defense

Devlin faced some tough defensive plays that included a sack from Dion Jordan, a round 1 draft pick for the Dolphins.  Jordan has made the news for the Phins by being selected to play special teams.  In an article Jordan who plays defensive end was quoted about his role,

"It's something to say about you... Me personally, I started on all special teams in high school, even in Oregon.  And I started on defense.  I love to compete."

Thanks to the Dolphin's players who signed autographs after for fans, coach Joe Philbin and the Dolphins management for a fan oriented night of football.  The Dolphins play Tampa Bay Saturday, August 24th.
