This is Mick Shot 0:00:18.840 --> 0:00:22.840 screaming live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the official 0:00:23.000 --> 0:00:27.560 Dallas Cowboys apt now Here are Bill Jones, Everson Walls, 0:00:27.840 --> 0:00:35.880 and Nicky Spagnola, and it is a happy Monday inside 0:00:35.920 --> 0:00:40.919 the SWBC Mortgage studios where Mickey Spagnola is for this 0:00:41.120 --> 0:00:44.400 edition of Mick Shots. I'm Bill Jones. It's happy in 0:00:44.479 --> 0:00:47.480 my home office, and it's happy in Everson Walls home 0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:54.360 office as well. Because the Cowboys somehow yes yes on 0:00:54.680 --> 0:00:59.440 Sunday Afternoon today at and t cdm Okay, here's what 0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:02.880 I said. I stole the line from Jack Buck when 0:01:02.960 --> 0:01:05.600 Kirk Gibson came out of the clubhouse and hit a 0:01:05.640 --> 0:01:08.760 home run in the World Series against Dennis Eckersley in 0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:12.120 the A's in nineteen eighty eight. I don't believe what 0:01:12.319 --> 0:01:17.160 I just saw. That's what I said when Greg Surline 0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:21.759 had the most unique on side kick I've seen since 0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:26.840 Tony Fritch in nineteen seventy two. I remember that one 0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:31.040 one he had the right foot went behind the left 0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:35.160 foot right, Remember that behind the back one behind the 0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:43.840 behind the ankle behind the calf, Billy, you got companies bags. 0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:47.240 You don't remember that one too. I think I probably 0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:53.160 wasn't intimately watching the Cowboys in nineteen seventy two. We're 0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:56.600 gonna delete. We're gonna delete you from this conversation. Got 0:01:57.040 --> 0:01:59.840 All I got when in college was either the card 0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:05.640 the Cardinals or the Chiefs. That's all we got. Oh, well, yeah, 0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:09.959 you saw the Cowboys kick plenty. But then if right, 0:02:12.440 --> 0:02:18.120 I like Brad Sham's final words was after we kicked 0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:24.600 the field goal, kiss that pig. I believe, kiss that pig. 0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:28.000 I love that one. I love that one. There was 0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:31.520 an ugly win, but it was still extremely exciting. So 0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:34.160 I guess kiss that pig would be the one that 0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:36.960 pretty much captures everything about that game. Yeah, if they 0:02:36.960 --> 0:02:39.400 could have just started in the second half, it would 0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:41.880 have There wouldn't have been a pig. You would have said, oh, 0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:46.800 what a remarkable performance, right getting rid of the first quarter? Cheese, 0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:50.680 oh pete. Maybe they thought it was a three o'clock start. 0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:52.960 I don't know, but it sure didn't work out at 0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:57.240 noon for them for sure. Well, we were you know, 0:02:57.360 --> 0:03:01.600 the Falcons were on East Coast time, so they should 0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:04.079 have been the ones that had to wake up issues 0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:08.800 because they came out extremely aggressive. I don't know if 0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:12.320 they saw something in film or whatever, but they came 0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:16.480 out just punching at the ball every time they had 0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:19.840 a chance. Sometimes it wasn't just fumbles. I mean, it 0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:23.720 was a calculated effort to knock the ball out of 0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:28.720 our receiver's hands. And that's including Zeke Elliott. So you 0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:33.399 know it was Zeke's high school team ain't doing it. Yeah, 0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:36.960 he knew something. He knew something, That's what it was. 0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:41.200 That's from an old school game plan that he came 0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:45.280 out with on that one so very unusual game, very 0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:48.680 ugly game, I gotta tell you, guys, but in the end, 0:03:49.240 --> 0:03:52.760 I did not care how ugly we won. Let's let's 0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:57.080 face it, guy, we have lost so many games in 0:03:57.120 --> 0:04:02.000 that same fashion. So I'm I'm not going to you know, 0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:06.160 Dallas water on this wind, you know, as as as 0:04:06.200 --> 0:04:08.160 little as I can. I mean, there's things that we 0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:11.080 have to sort out, but you know, we are so 0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:14.760 accustomed to losing games like this. I'm not going to 0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:17.960 be ashamed to say that I was happy that we 0:04:18.040 --> 0:04:20.800 won the game that we should have lost. Let's just 0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:24.159 be real, we should have lost, and so let's just 0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:27.880 finally we get to flip the script on all those guys, 0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:30.800 all those fans that against the Dallas Cowboys. Well, how 0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:32.719 would you like to be in the falcon shoes and 0:04:32.800 --> 0:04:35.760 sitting there going, well, we should have won and you didn't. 0:04:36.680 --> 0:04:39.880 I think that's probably easy. We've been there. That's the problem. Yeah, 0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:44.200 I think so many times that's the issue. So I 0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:47.279 just thought, you know, if you can, you can get 0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:51.159 past the start, uh and basically get past past the 0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:55.640 majority of the defensive possessions other than the one that 0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:59.920 they had to have, uh, you know, from an offensive standpoint, 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:03.880 I mean they five hundred and seventy yards. Think about that, 0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:07.400 Dat threw for four hundred and fifty yards. It's rather 0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:13.279 remarkable with the protection he was facing or wasn't facing, 0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:20.040 didn't have and playing with two undrafted offensive tackles, one 0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:22.520 a rookie, the other one in his second year, starting 0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:25.679 his second game, and you still threw for four hundred 0:05:25.680 --> 0:05:28.840 and fifty yards. I mean, I just thought that was 0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:33.080 the most remarkable performance under those circumstances and falling behind 0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:38.120 so many times that you would ever see in a 0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:42.279 football game. So my point on this whole game is 0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:45.480 I don't want to hear nothing else about Dat can't 0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:48.479 do this and DAT can't do that. He can't come 0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:51.520 from behind, he can't win a close game. The guys 0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:55.680 got fifteen come from behind victories since the start of 0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:59.240 the twenty sixteen season, and that ties him for the 0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:02.960 most with guy named Drew Brees along with Derek Carr. 0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:06.839 So stop the nonsense from now on. Okay, that's my 0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:11.120 point on this show, and this is so weird s facts. 0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:17.200 You will still find commentary that talks about how his 0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:21.920 receiver has basically bailed him out on so many different occasions. 0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:25.720 And as I look at, you know so many great 0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:30.159 quarterbacks that are human and we still give them the 0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:33.760 benefit of the doubt. Dak has always been that guy. 0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:38.800 They will concentrate so much. There will always be an 0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:44.279 asterisk by any stat that Dak Prescott throws up there. 0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:47.280 The asterisk is always going to be the key, and 0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:50.279 I think that's extremely unfair for a guy who's got 0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:53.520 the heart that he has. Okay, I got a question 0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:56.520 for you. Do you want me to do something about 0:06:56.560 --> 0:07:04.440 my dog, Romo? Please do That's not bothering your dog, Romo. 0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:08.840 Feed your dog. Is I got two beagles, uh Bo 0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:12.600 and Romo, and I've got that huggeting up to where 0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:15.480 they're supposed to be in the kitchen. It sounds like 0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:19.160 they might have got out. And Romo is the one 0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:21.920 barking in the background. And I think he's barking because 0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:25.840 he's upset because Deck has now matched Romo with four 0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:30.840 hundred yard games in his career. But two beagles, they 0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:33.800 were they were born in two thousand and seven, so 0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:37.280 they're thirteen years old, Romo's first year as a starter. 0:07:37.360 --> 0:07:39.280 And we name one Romo and the other one I 0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:43.560 wanted to name to but my wife and daughters said, no, 0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:48.120 we get to name the other. I'm sure Romo doesn't watch. 0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:54.320 Don't rename bow Deck because Romo would really really be pissed. Okay, 0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:56.800 So I'm leaving for one second to go close my 0:07:56.920 --> 0:07:59.960 office door so we don't hear Romo as well. So hope. 0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:02.600 So we don't need you, Bill, We don't need you, 0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:05.760 you know, And and and Everson. One of the remarkable 0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:11.000 things was that that was the when the Cowboys fell 0:08:11.080 --> 0:08:14.120 behind by twenty points to start the game. That was 0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:18.880 their largest deficit to come back. Our second largest deficit 0:08:18.960 --> 0:08:22.160 to come back in and win the game. And I 0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:26.880 was looking at the other games and I was there. Well, 0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:31.040 now I'm there for four of the top five the 0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:35.120 largest deficits they had with twenty one points. That was 0:08:35.960 --> 0:08:41.000 the season opener against Saint Louis in twenty fourteen. My 0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:46.000 first game I covered for the Dallas Times Herald of 0:08:46.040 --> 0:08:50.120 a Cowboys game was that Sunday night game against New 0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:53.640 New Orleans Saints in nineteen eighty four. It was the 0:08:53.760 --> 0:08:57.199 overtime victory. Had fallen behind by twenty one points, and 0:08:57.480 --> 0:09:00.640 remember it came back in that last nit or two 0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:04.240 with two touchdowns to tie it up. I believe it 0:09:04.320 --> 0:09:07.480 was a Randy White forced fumble that Jim jeff Cote 0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:11.920 recovered uh in the end zone. Kenny Stabler was the quarterback. 0:09:12.000 --> 0:09:15.680 That was. Ken Stabler was a quarterback, and I have 0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:20.079 never seen Randy White act like such a child ever 0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:24.040 and was hilarious. Remember that video was watching him jump 0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:28.520 up and down after bumble was the funniest thing I 0:09:28.520 --> 0:09:31.640 had ever seen. And it was the coolest thing I've 0:09:31.679 --> 0:09:34.880 ever seen, you know, because you're watching the manster of 0:09:34.880 --> 0:09:38.280 all people, who's one of the most honorary people you 0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:41.120 ever want to meet. I think he was the more 0:09:41.200 --> 0:09:43.960 proud of himself at that moment than he has ever 0:09:44.040 --> 0:09:46.880 been in his tire life, you know. And I remember 0:09:46.960 --> 0:09:49.680 he was like he was jumping on a pogo stick. Yes, yes, 0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:52.760 like a little guy. I can imitate it, but I 0:09:52.800 --> 0:09:59.679 won't do it right now again. You know what in 0:09:59.760 --> 0:10:03.559 that game, if you remember, it was a Sunday night game, 0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:08.400 and it started late because the presidential debates went long 0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:13.680 and so and to set the stage for it, I 0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:16.400 think that at the time, maybe the Cowboys were four 0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:19.520 and three and they were you were falling off the face. 0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:23.920 And Randy Galloway in the Dallas Morning News basically wrote 0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:27.760 an entire column that the Cowboys were dead, that they 0:10:27.760 --> 0:10:29.760 were you know, they're gonna lose this game, and the 0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:34.120 Cowboys are dead, right. Well, remember Tex used to sit 0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:37.240 in the press box and he sat right in the 0:10:37.320 --> 0:10:40.320 row right behind me, And this is my first game, 0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:43.280 and I don't know know what the protocol is or anything, 0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:48.760 and he's he's grumping up there, and everybody's on deadline 0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:52.880 because the game started late, and basically everybody had written 0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:56.040 their stories right ready to go, just needed the final score. 0:10:57.200 --> 0:10:59.679 The Cowboys come back and tie it up, and it 0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:03.480 goes into overtime, and you hear everybody banging the tables right. Oh, 0:11:05.320 --> 0:11:09.920 that text leads out. He looked, he leads out, and 0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:19.040 he yells, hey, Randy, you look dead. And then the 0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:22.640 Cowboys ended up winning the game in overtime. And then 0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:25.840 the other one was the season opener in in in 0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:30.679 UH nineteen. It was at nineteen ninety nine when they 0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:34.720 fell behind like thirty five thirty five seven or something 0:11:34.760 --> 0:11:38.040 like that. Uh, and and Troy Aikman came back with 0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:42.280 three touchdowns to tie it up, uh near the right 0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:45.440 at the end, and then through the deep ball to 0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:51.200 uh rocket rockmail after Rocket had dropped the same pattern 0:11:51.360 --> 0:11:54.840 earlier in the game. And the uh the name of 0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:57.800 the play was red glare. So it was a rocket 0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:07.520 red glare. So don't forget the only one would have 0:12:07.520 --> 0:12:12.000 been there against the Redskins down twenty points. Yes, and 0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:14.680 it looked like that was the reasons we were down 0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:17.160 twenty points. I was one of the reasons we were 0:12:17.200 --> 0:12:21.599 down twenty points. Uh. The Redskins had figured out I 0:12:21.600 --> 0:12:25.960 would flex defensive coverage. UH. They realized that you could 0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:29.439 easily put the Cowboys from a zone into a man 0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:32.520 to man just by the positioning of the backs, and 0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:35.880 coach Joe Gibbs figured that out, and that was the 0:12:35.920 --> 0:12:40.360 first time we had started seeing what you called hitch routes. 0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:44.800 They had. They had eaten us alive. They would put 0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:47.640 us in a man to man situation and they would 0:12:47.640 --> 0:12:52.199 throw five yard routes, knowing that we always covered off 0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:56.120 from a zone position because that was the zone call 0:12:56.600 --> 0:12:59.000 out of the Hubble, And what it did was put 0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:03.280 us at an extreme disadvantage, isolating the cornerbacks one on one, 0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:06.120 so they would have the little fun bunch that they had, 0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:09.480 those little smurfs, I believe is what they had called them. 0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:13.120 I think Howard Cosell started called them smurfs. So they 0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:16.280 had the little smurfs out there, one brown and they 0:13:16.280 --> 0:13:18.880 would catch the ball a lot of distance between us 0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:21.120 and them. They would shake us down. Next thing you know, 0:13:21.200 --> 0:13:24.160 they have a drive going down the field. We're down 0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:27.320 like twenty three to three, if I'm not mistaken. All 0:13:27.360 --> 0:13:29.520 of a sudden, we decided to change up the defense 0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:33.000 and go to a cover two. Now you can't run 0:13:33.040 --> 0:13:36.800 those hitch routes. They could not make the adjustments. The 0:13:36.800 --> 0:13:40.800 Redskins could not make the adjustments, Tony Hill and Danny 0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:44.079 White start to go off. I remember Tony Hill going 0:13:44.120 --> 0:13:47.840 down the sidelines and just eating up their dbs alive. 0:13:48.240 --> 0:13:50.960 I think he caught two touchdowns passes in that game, 0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:54.040 and we ended up coming back and winning that game. 0:13:54.280 --> 0:13:57.440 At that time, that was our most I think it 0:13:57.559 --> 0:14:01.240 was our most the big comeback we had ever had 0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:04.880 in Cowboy history up until that point. I don't know 0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:08.800 if I right, because the twenty one the twenty one 0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:13.960 point deficits came in eighty four, ninety nine, and twenty fourteen, 0:14:14.080 --> 0:14:16.800 so yeah, you're absolutely right. And we also did that 0:14:17.320 --> 0:14:21.280 in RFK Stadium as well, So the second half of 0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:25.120 that game you would have thought it was a COVID 0:14:25.200 --> 0:14:28.560 game because you could not hear anyone in the stands, 0:14:29.200 --> 0:14:33.000 but Cowboy fans in RFK the best feeling in the world. Bill, 0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:37.400 Are you good? Are you done? Dog City? Oh yeah, yeah, 0:14:37.400 --> 0:14:40.840 I've been enjoying the conversation. We need we're up against 0:14:40.840 --> 0:14:43.440 her break. But let me give you now, you were 0:14:43.480 --> 0:14:47.760 just listening the top comebacks in Cowboys history in terms 0:14:47.800 --> 0:14:51.280 of how many points they were down overcoming deficits twenty 0:14:51.280 --> 0:14:55.360 and twenty one point deficits the top five in Cowboys history. 0:14:55.720 --> 0:14:59.160 I put this game in the way it finished the 0:14:59.760 --> 0:15:05.680 last minute comeback in my top five favorite Cowboy comebacks 0:15:05.720 --> 0:15:08.880 of all time. And I started in nineteen seventy two 0:15:09.200 --> 0:15:12.080 with the playoff game against San Francisco, the game we 0:15:12.160 --> 0:15:14.880 alluded to earlier. Tony Fritz had the on side kick 0:15:14.960 --> 0:15:18.680 and Roger had two touchdown passes, one to Billy Parks 0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:21.440 and the other to Ron Sellers. I think that was 0:15:21.480 --> 0:15:26.120 the game where Larry Cole was. I'm rolling around on 0:15:26.160 --> 0:15:30.200 the sideline. That's right. They were down twenty eight sixteen 0:15:30.200 --> 0:15:31.960 with two minutes left, and they came back and one 0:15:32.080 --> 0:15:34.920 thirty to twenty eight. I'm doing this in chronological order. 0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:37.840 The second one is the Hail Mary with thirty two 0:15:37.880 --> 0:15:41.560 seconds left of the game. The next one would be 0:15:42.080 --> 0:15:45.800 Rogers last regular season game in nineteen seventy nine, which 0:15:45.880 --> 0:15:48.520 is two touchdowns in the last couple of minutes, one 0:15:48.600 --> 0:15:53.880 to Ron Springs. All together Tony him yeah against Washington 0:15:54.000 --> 0:15:56.920 thirty five, thirty four, and then I'll fast forward all 0:15:56.960 --> 0:15:59.400 the way to two thousand and seven and Tony Romo 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:03.080 throws picks against Buffalo Monday Night football, and the Cowboys 0:16:03.120 --> 0:16:05.240 come back, and they scored ten points in the last 0:16:05.280 --> 0:16:08.200 twenty seconds of that game, a touchdown pass and then 0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:12.600 a Nick folk on side kick, and with six seconds left, 0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:14.920 and then with two seconds left he kicks a fifty 0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:16.840 three yard field goal to win it. And then I'll 0:16:16.880 --> 0:16:19.720 put this one in as a number five on the list. 0:16:19.760 --> 0:16:22.440 There's others in there, but for me, those are my 0:16:22.560 --> 0:16:29.320 five all time favorites. Those are good favorites. Bill, Okay, 0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:32.400 all right, when we come back, let's break down what 0:16:32.640 --> 0:16:37.560 went wrong and what went right a lot of the dude, 0:16:37.920 --> 0:16:40.800 and we'll need all week to discuss this. But mix 0:16:40.840 --> 0:16:44.480 shots continues in a moment. Hey, they're Cowboys fans.

What a win for the 0:19:15.840 --> 0:19:20.080 Cowboys on Sunday forty to thirty nine over the Atlanta 0:19:20.160 --> 0:19:23.560 Falcons and now the Seattle Seahawks. This week and then 0:19:23.600 --> 0:19:26.520 what a win for Seattle last night over New England 0:19:27.080 --> 0:19:30.040 thirty five to thirty as New England had the ball 0:19:30.080 --> 0:19:32.440 down at the one yard line and Cam Newton was 0:19:32.480 --> 0:19:37.680 stopped short by a TCU hornfrog mister Collyer from a 0:19:37.720 --> 0:19:39.919 first round draft pick making the play. But we'll get 0:19:39.960 --> 0:19:43.280 into the Seahawks this the week progresses. There's so much 0:19:43.320 --> 0:19:47.320 to break down on Sunday's game. First off, I just 0:19:47.520 --> 0:19:51.359 love having fans in the stands. I know, I don't 0:19:51.359 --> 0:19:56.639 care whether they are just a smattering of fans or not, 0:19:56.840 --> 0:20:00.399 but but I like the fact that they were fans 0:20:00.400 --> 0:20:03.879 of the stands any so funny, no matter how small 0:20:04.000 --> 0:20:07.200 the amount of fans, you could still hear the booze. 0:20:07.440 --> 0:20:10.960 The booze were real loud, right at right at half 0:20:11.040 --> 0:20:14.560 time twenty one, seven hundred and eight. Yeah, and they 0:20:14.560 --> 0:20:17.800 were all kind of spaced out, and uh, you know, 0:20:17.840 --> 0:20:20.320 I don't know, I don't know if TV showed many 0:20:20.400 --> 0:20:25.520 shots of the stands, but they showed everybody was spaced out. Now, 0:20:25.640 --> 0:20:27.760 there would be groups of people, and remember you could 0:20:27.800 --> 0:20:30.000 buy as many as six and they put you in 0:20:30.040 --> 0:20:32.920 a pod. But if you were six in a row, 0:20:33.040 --> 0:20:35.600 there was nobody sitting in front of you and nobody's 0:20:35.600 --> 0:20:39.320 sitting behind you. And then the next row had some 0:20:39.440 --> 0:20:42.640 more people that way, and so they spaced everything out, 0:20:42.840 --> 0:20:48.440 and uh, the only thing I noticed was those masks 0:20:48.480 --> 0:20:51.520 didn't last for four quarters on the majority of the 0:20:51.520 --> 0:20:55.159 people sitting there. I mean, did you expect them to 0:20:55.320 --> 0:20:57.879 at all. There's no way you can keep your mask 0:20:58.080 --> 0:21:01.680 on because they were eating and drinking, yes, right, and 0:21:02.600 --> 0:21:05.760 of course yes, and screaming there that has something to 0:21:05.800 --> 0:21:10.320 do with it, and screaming their brains out right. You 0:21:10.400 --> 0:21:13.240 can't you can't boom, you can't boo effectively with a 0:21:13.320 --> 0:21:16.119 mask on. It just doesn't work. Well, there was a 0:21:16.119 --> 0:21:20.360 lot of boo on four of the first five the processions, 0:21:22.240 --> 0:21:24.640 well in the first quarter. I mean, it reminded me 0:21:24.960 --> 0:21:30.480 of the way the nineteen ninety four three Championship game began. Yeah, 0:21:31.200 --> 0:21:34.159 well they were playing in ninety season. Yeah, no, it 0:21:34.240 --> 0:21:38.440 was a ninety four season, yeah, sorry, ninety four season, yes, yeah, yeah, 0:21:38.480 --> 0:21:42.280 ninety four season January ninety five. The three turnovers that 0:21:42.359 --> 0:21:45.360 San Francisco turned into twenty one points the first seven 0:21:45.440 --> 0:21:47.920 or eight minutes of the game whatever it was, Uh, 0:21:48.080 --> 0:21:50.080 and then throwing in a fake punt that didn't work 0:21:50.119 --> 0:21:53.760 as well. Uh So the Cowboys actually could have been 0:21:53.800 --> 0:21:56.280 further down than what they were at the end of 0:21:56.320 --> 0:21:58.400 the first quarter, but they were as it was down 0:21:58.440 --> 0:22:01.000 twenty to nothing. Yeah, they were able to those last 0:22:01.040 --> 0:22:04.240 two possessions, the fourth and fifth one. They held him 0:22:04.240 --> 0:22:08.600 to field goals. After the fake punt failed, which should 0:22:08.640 --> 0:22:11.600 have worked if c J. Goodwin kept his feet, he 0:22:11.720 --> 0:22:15.600 slipped and fell. Uh and then Dalton Shoultz losing. Oh 0:22:15.640 --> 0:22:18.160 you're gonna put that on CJ. Well, you didn't think 0:22:18.200 --> 0:22:26.840 it was a horrible, horrible pass athlete. I keep hearing 0:22:26.840 --> 0:22:30.479 about what a great athlete our quarter our putter is, 0:22:31.240 --> 0:22:33.920 and he throws a duck. It never should have been 0:22:33.920 --> 0:22:37.200 that difficult guy. He had fallen before the baby got there. 0:22:38.840 --> 0:22:42.520 He did slip. Now he was on the ground, no reason, 0:22:44.680 --> 0:22:47.840 because he's always known, even for him to even have 0:22:48.040 --> 0:22:51.320 to be on the ground, that ball should hit him 0:22:51.840 --> 0:22:56.600 in the chest. That's all. That's the problem. That's the 0:22:56.680 --> 0:22:59.879 problem with running a fake punt when Danny White's not 0:23:00.040 --> 0:23:06.520 a punter, saying billing a pass to a defensive back, 0:23:06.640 --> 0:23:09.280 none to a wine receiver, No, no, no, It depends 0:23:09.320 --> 0:23:13.280 on the defensive back let's be really yeah, okay, unless 0:23:13.320 --> 0:23:18.120 the defensive back has fifty seven inter subjects, then you 0:23:18.119 --> 0:23:23.399 can run that thing cornerback. I just I just really 0:23:23.440 --> 0:23:27.920 felt that this was one of the ugliest winds we've 0:23:27.960 --> 0:23:30.960 ever had. I said it earlier and even when we 0:23:31.000 --> 0:23:32.880 started off the fourth quarter. I mean, you talk about 0:23:32.880 --> 0:23:35.800 the first part of the game. Of course, these fumbles. 0:23:35.840 --> 0:23:38.720 You know, Schultz finally gets them to make a catch. 0:23:38.840 --> 0:23:41.520 You know, he's looking forward to having a good game. 0:23:41.960 --> 0:23:44.720 They puss the ball out on him. Zeke comes out 0:23:44.800 --> 0:23:48.920 of I don't know how Zeke fumble twice. If I'm 0:23:48.920 --> 0:23:53.480 not mistaken, they only recovered one, and so we once again, 0:23:53.720 --> 0:23:56.480 we could have been a much better situation. What worst situation? 0:23:56.800 --> 0:23:59.359 And the other thing I say is I can't believe 0:23:59.359 --> 0:24:02.119 I'm giving the defense credit after a game they end 0:24:02.160 --> 0:24:06.359 up forty to thirty nine because when you look at 0:24:06.560 --> 0:24:13.440 three of those four turnovers, they actually held, which was unusual. 0:24:13.680 --> 0:24:17.440 They actually held the Falcons to a couple of field goals, 0:24:17.480 --> 0:24:19.760 which you know, when you when this is a game 0:24:19.800 --> 0:24:25.880 like this, every victory helps, you know, any individual win, 0:24:26.200 --> 0:24:30.159 any situational win helps in a game like this, because 0:24:30.200 --> 0:24:34.480 as we go on, we will note many times where 0:24:35.040 --> 0:24:38.520 that particular play kind of held the game in balance. 0:24:38.840 --> 0:24:41.600 So this is this is one of those just topsy 0:24:41.640 --> 0:24:43.880 turvy games. Well, if you look at if you look 0:24:43.920 --> 0:24:47.520 at the defenses part in this. After the first two possessions, 0:24:48.240 --> 0:24:52.800 the Falcons scored on eight of ten possessions, eight of ten, 0:24:53.800 --> 0:24:57.120 all right, and and the one they stopped them, they 0:24:57.160 --> 0:24:59.679 had to stop them to get the ball back, and 0:24:59.800 --> 0:25:02.959 that was the first sack of the game. Everson Griffin 0:25:03.040 --> 0:25:06.120 got a sack on second down which led to them 0:25:06.200 --> 0:25:12.080 having to actually mount the ball and Mikky the other one, 0:25:12.640 --> 0:25:15.920 Jones dropped a touchdown. Yes, absolutely so they were. They 0:25:15.920 --> 0:25:20.520 were like, oh fer after the first two possessions. Yet 0:25:20.600 --> 0:25:23.399 when they needed to get the stop to create that 0:25:23.560 --> 0:25:27.960 next possession for the Cowboys offense, they got it somehow, 0:25:28.160 --> 0:25:33.400 some way, which was rather remarkable because the defense, I'll 0:25:33.400 --> 0:25:37.000 tell you what, they better hurry because that front gave 0:25:37.160 --> 0:25:39.879
