Troy Vincent, Aging Like a Fine Wine
I read somewhere that Dallas fans are self-described “Romosexuals” these days. Ok, whatever. Despite the stupidity of their fans, I was concerned that Tony Romo was going to carve the Skins up, and carve he did. 240+ yards and 2 TD’s.
In typical Gibbs fashion, he executes 3 consecutive, predictable runs in a row to “set-up” our shaky field goal kicker for a 49 yard attempt.
49 YARDS??!
Novak is lucky to make 39 yard field goals and, predictably, he shanks it. So, Romo drives the Cowboys down the field for the inevitable game winning chip shot (see, that’s what good coaches do, give their players good chances to make plays).
Except Dallas is employing “that stupid kicker” and he hits a low-flying line drive that gets blocked by none other than Troy Vincent, a man wearing jeans and a sweater on Sundays a few weeks ago!! The ball is recovered by Sean Taylor, who after getting his facemask yanked, runs all the way into Cowboys territory before being tackled! Tack on the 15 yard penalty and Novak is lining-up for 47 yard attempt.
He kicks it! It’s off! OH GOD, it’s off to the right! Wait. WAIT. It’s CURVING BACK LEFT AND JUST BARELY MAKES IT IN! At this point imagine me high-fiving every Redskins fan in the bar. I collapse in my chair, emotionally exhausted. Good times.
