I'm BACK!

Hiatus? Please, I just had to battle through exams, which was quite a struggle, but now, beautiful, wonderful, dear readership, I, Blake, have returned. To right the ship, to save Zion, to stop Al Capone, to bring balance to the force, or, without poetic license, to continue writing for this fantabulous blog.
So Cowboys fans...news, I suppose that's what I should write about, that's generally what you guys would like to hear yes? So news, I need news, lets see, what's been going on with the Cowboys, perhaps that Tony Romo is the new holder for the hapless Nick "can't kick the ball between two sticks" Folk (I know I know but Folk is a tough word to rhyme with if you pronounce the L, now Fok...you've got choke, croak, stuff like that, but I just don't feel good with a slant rhyme, he needs to go down with some dignity). Or that, O wait, that's right...sorry I've been outta practice on the blog for awhile...
WE JUST BEAT THE UNDEFEATED NEW ORLEANS SAINTS!!!
Ok ok I'm done being ridiculous, I'll get down to the meat and potatoes of the game, you guys can only read my obnoxious fluff for so long:
Overall impressions of the game:
The Cowboys looked like, believe it or not, a fairly well coached team tonight. The offense FINALLY played to the game plan everyone has been waiting for, the run setting up the pass gameplan with Tony being allowed to make plays while the running game ate up yardage and time, winning the time of possession battle. It was a beautiful sight. Also the defense was flying around, making tackles, creating turnovers (which is huge against a team like the Saints) and maintaining pressure on Brees all night. Not to mention the lead we had turned New Orleans into a one-dimensional passing team with early scores, which is much easier to defend then when they can dictate the game to you and maintain a balanced offense. It all fell into place for the Cowboys tonight, and we beat one of the two undefeated teams in the NFL, lets hope they keep this train a'rollin.
Offensive Perspective:
The offense looked really balanced tonight, without any turnovers. We had 145 yards rushing and 294 net yards passing. We had 36:26 minutes of possession, and we were 8/15 on 3rd down, 53% (the Saints third down percentage coming soon, stay tuned, it's Bla-key's to the win). Tony Romo played incredibly well, with the passing yards shown above and completing 22 of 34 pass attempts. Felix Jones was finally used in full drives, making it less obvious when we were going to try and turn him loose, and Marion Barber being rested with true time splitting and being able to truly push some people around, looking like the predator of old. O and thank goodness for Miles Austin. But yes, all in all a great effort.
POG: Tony Romo
FOG: Roy Williams...could use a lil' more outta ya buddy, but then again, you are a UT grad, what can we really expect.
Defensive Perspective:
The defense played great, holding one of the leagues most prolific offenses to only 17 points. The Saints had only 65 yards rushing, though they did have 271 yards passing, but they are the Saints, that's a less than average passing performance for them. They also were able to pick Drew Brees off once, were able to sack him 4 times for 27 yards, and caused 2 fumbles (thank goodness D Ware was ready for this game), and most of all, on 3rd downs the Saints were only 1 of 7. An old coach of mine once told me that to win, you have to win the 3rd down battle, if that's the case, that was utter domination tonight by our Boys. They had a slight let up when the Saints went on their run, but all in all they came up when they needed to, which hasn't happened in awhile and was nice to see.
POG: Demarcus Ware caused both fumbles, he is so very key to the Cowboys success
FOG: Poor Nick Folk, you're still a hero in my book from that Buffalo game, but I think it's time we move on, he just cannot kick any more, the confidence is gone, and that's tough for a kicker to get back.
