The Bill Gates Challenge, Part VI: Flirting With Destiny
In the 49-year history of the NFL Super Bowl, only 9 teams have repeated as champions in back-to-back seasons. Of those 9 teams, 8 failed in their bid to return to the Super Bowl for a chance to capture the elusive third consecutive championship. What follows is the story of the 9th team on the list, the Gatesville Silicon Pirates, and their quest to become the first team in NFL history to win 3 Super Bowls in a row.

Farewell, Kyle Diaz...
After 13 seasons with us, wide receiver Kyle Diaz became the first home-grown Silicon Pirate to hang up his cleats. Diaz, who we picked up as an undrafted free agent after the 2002 draft, was with us right from the start during the early years when we were rebuilding from scratch in New York. Though never a star, Kyle was a solid contributor for us right up through our second consecutive Super Bowl win last season. Here's a look at the cumulative career statistics of one of Gatesville's favorite sons: 601 receptions 7430 receiving yards 32 touchdowns His rookie season was his best year in terms of statistics, when we literally had nobody else to throw the ball to. During that season, Diaz made 96 grabs for 1117 yards and 4 touchdowns. The consumate team player, Diaz accepted a reduced role without complaint when more physically gifted receivers came to Gatesville. Acting as a mentor to the younger receivers, Kyle's great work ethic set a positive tone for the rest of the team. Teammate Devin Bergeron once told reporters that Diaz had "milked more yardage out of his limited physical potential" than any receiver he had ever seen. High praise from a two-time Super Bowl MVP...  I can honestly say the Diaz is one of my two favorite players in Gatesville history. |

Hello Again...
It is my pleasure to announce the signing of the recently retired Kyle Diaz as our new head scout! At the tender age of 35, Kyle has agreed to a 5-year deal worth $390,000 per season. Here is a look at Diaz, who will bring his extensive knowledge of the passing game in to replace the offensively wretched Randall Parra.

Thanks for the support, Stan G! I've been known to take a few artistic liberties with this dynasty. There is no way to hire a player as a scout, but you can hire somebody the same age and rename them...

2015 Ticket Prices
The Cowboys opted not to raise their ticket prices in light of their falling attendance percentage, while we opted to not raise our ticket prices either in hopes of continuing our upward trend in attendance. |

2015 Free Agency Period:
Cowboy Huntin': At the beginning of the free agent signing period, the Cowboys had only 27 guys under contract. However, most of their unsigned guys were restricted free agents, so we could not do much in the way of plundering their roster. Pretty much nobody out there was worth taking. Tit for Tat: As for our own team, we had nearly 50 guys under contract heading into free agency. However, a couple guys were in the final year of their contracts, and would no doubt be looking to get huge payouts in 2016. First was defensive tackle Joey Rhoades, who was by far our best defensive lineman. In 6 seasons, Rhoades had started 71 times in the 76 games in which he had participated. Over that period, Rhoades made 139 tackles, 72 assists, and 26 sacks. As with most DTs, his job was to clear the way for the linebackers to tackle runners, and he did that admirably. Sadly, the fact of the matter was that we would not be able to pay him what he would be asking for in 2016. Thus, we put him on the trading block in order to get something in exchange for our loss. After talking with the Colts, Cards, and Steelers, we ended up sending Rhoades and our 1st round pick in the upcoming draft (#34) to Richmond in exchange for their 1st round pick (#14). In so doing, we saved $5.72 million against our 2015 cap. After a failed attempt at a renegotiation with RB Tommy Douglas, he was shipped to Green Bay in exchange for their 2nd round pick (#45). This move saved us another $860,000 in cap money. Contract Renegotiations: As I mentioned earlier, the Cowboys had only left slim pickings available, so we opted to extend some of our key players' contracts instead of pursuing any former Cowboys. Here are the details: Starting left guard Rusty Pleasant was signed to a 3-year, $14.13 million deal with a $3.76 million bonus. Starting right tackle James Pond agreed to a 4-year, $27.60 million offer that included a $7.3 million bonus. Place kicker Broderick Hidalgo signed on for another 3-year stint for $5.24 million and a $1.42 million bonus. Unrestrict Free Agents: We offered Edgar Justus, our starting RCB over the last few seasons, $29.88 million over 3 years with a $5.78 million bonus, but he opted for a more lucrative 2-year, $21.46 million deal with Kansas City after Week 1 of free agency, thus dealing a huge blow to our already weak secondary. Apparently, despite his last name, Edgar was more interested in money than in dishing out justice to the Cowboys.  Al Ingram, our longtime stud WILB, agreed to come back for a 3-year, $17.4 million contract that included a $4.2 million bonus in Week 7. |

2015 Draft:
We went into the draft hoping to find a replacement for Justus in the secondary, or perhaps another promising receiver to add to Berg's arsenal. Our dream pick, Trevor Booker, a receiver who both Kyle and I thought would be a real game-breaker, went to New England at pick number 5. Max Foley, a WR out of Notre Dame, looked to be a decent alternative with Booker off of the draft board, but neither of Kyle nor I could stomach the thought of dealing with a Golden Domer. With no decent corners available who fit in with our only-draft-defenders-from-Texas rule, we were left with a choice between two linebackers who both looked to be pretty good. While Ellis Desimone appeared to be the more polished linebacker, we believed that Sam Viola out of Texas-El Paso had a better upside, and thus chose him with pick number 14 overall. Desimone, out of Baylor, went two picks later to the Bears. Albert Alexander, an OT our of Illinois State with decent run blocking and pass blocking skills, was our pick at number 45. Here's how the rest of our draft went down: Rnd 1 - Sam Viola, LB, Texas - El Paso Rnd 2 - Albert Alexander, T, Illinois State Rnd 2 - Dexter Mincy, LB, Texas Tech Rnd 3 - Marcus White, RB, Mississippi State Rnd 3 - Mitchell Horner, TE, Eastern Michigan Rnd 3 - Derek Brandon, CB, Baylor Rnd 4 - Butch Fields, G, Virginia Tech Rnd 5 - Xavier Samples, C, Texas A&M Rnd 6 - Tim Terrell, WR, Wisconsin Rnd 7 - C.J. Ingram, WR, Penn State |

Post-Draft Trade:
After the draft, we decided to send backup QB Luke Birk and a 7th round pick in 2016 to Seattle in exchange for their 5th round pick in 2016. Basically, Birk was in the final year of his contract, and we felt Dana Alston was good enough to assume the role of the top backup at QB. The Birk trade saved us $900,000 against the 2015 salary cap. |

2015 Training Camp:
As always, we focused our attention on the Singleback, Strong, and I Formations on offense. On defense, the 4-3 and the nickel were emphasized, while we also added the 3-4 into the mix due to our weak defensive line and our relatively good linebacking corps. In light of our weakened secondary, we emphasized zone defense over man coverage, though both were given fair amounts of time. Unfortunately, we did not have much time left to allocate to special teams, where we spent most of our time working on our field goal unit. Here is a look at our 2015 roster following training camp. Top picks Sam Viola and Albert Alexander both had good camps, as did our third pick Dexter Mincy, while some of the later round picks, such as Butch Fields (G)(4th Rd.), Xavier Samples (C)(5th Rd.), and C.J. Ingram (WR)(7th Rd.), failed to impress and were cut following camp.
Here is some more in-depth information about the 53 men who will endeavour to win a third straight title for the Gatesville Silicon Pirates:

Post Camp Notes:
2015 Season Ticket Sales: The good news after camp was that we had sold 36,300 season tickets this year, up from 30,700 in 2014 and just 26,200 in 2013. In just two years, over 10,000 more people had come into the fold. Maybe there is hope for this alien yet! Kodos - The Dumbest Creature In All Of Creation? In what can only be described as an insult to my basic intelligence, the Seahawks offered me a third round pick in exchange for cult hero Chuck Farley. Are you people pulling my tentacle?!? Are you out of your minds?!? Are you wacked on Scooby snacks? Listen closely, because I'm only gonna say it once: "HELL, NO!!!" Hell Hath No Fury Like A Jayhawk Scorned! In a move that is sure to draw the ire of DataKing, we shipped Kyle McAfee, the former Jayhawk offensive tackle, to the oh-so-bright Seahawks for their 6th round pick in 2016. This saved us $1.16 million. I'd just like to note that Darren Cruise, another proud Jayhawk, is still under contract with us... Please, DK, don't hurt me!  |

2015 Exhibition Season:
We managed to go 3-1 in the preseason, and played in front of decent crowds (by our admittedly low standards) at home. The poor Jets were unable to come away with even a meaningless preseason victory against us.
The Cowboys had a little rougher preseason, as they managed to drop 3 out of 4 games.
Here's a look at the final standings for the exhibition season.
Key Injuries: We didn't escape the preseason without injuries, as WOLB Allen Whitfield suffered a broken foot (2 weeks) and LCB Joel Harden is dealing with a case of turf toe and may miss up to 5 weeks. Again, not good news for our secondary. |

2015 Regular Season Schedules:
The scheduling gods may have smiled on us a bit this year. If we can get off to a strong start during the first half of our schedule, which features many road games, then it could really boost our attendance at the plentiful home games down the stretch. Cross your fingers folks!
Here is the Cowboys' schedule for 2015. I hope Jon Adams, last season's NFL MVP, runs wild all over them in Week 2!

2015 Starting Lineups:
Offense: Although Everett Schwarz beat out Herb Matthews for the starting job at RB, Matthews will still see plenty of action. If Schwarz falters, Matthews could see his name move up to the top of the depth chart quickly. Backup offensive linemen Albert Alexander (T), Gene Flannery (C), and Rob Stanton (G) should all see significant playing time as we groom them to eventually take over for our aging starters. Other than Schwarz, our entire starting offense from 2014 returns to start again in 2015. QB - Devin Bergeron RB - Everett Schwarz FB - Levon Wallace TE - Chuck Farley FL - Earl Thornton SE - Ralph Randle LT - Terrance Read LG - Rusty Pleasant C - Jonathan Farmer RG - Darren Cruise RT - James Pond Defense: Patrick Sanders will move inside from last year's job at left end to replace the departed Joey Rhoades at left defensive tackle. Frankie Farley will move from the right to the left end, while Paul Everett will get his first starting job at right end. Eric Cash returns at right tackle. Hotshot newcomer Sam Viola will get the start at SILB, while Mike Eagle and Alan Hines will be the new starters in our revamped secondary. LE - Frankie Farley LT - Patrick Sanders RT - Eric Cash RE - Paul Everett WOLB - Allen Whitfield WILB - Al Ingram SILB - Sam Viola SOLB - Terrance Fuller LCB - Joel Harden RCB - Mike Eagle FS - Dave Sanders SS - Alan Hines I don't know about you folks, but I'm ready to forget about all of this trivial offseason crap and get this season underway. LET'S GO PIRATES!  |

2015 Regular Season
Week 1 Gatesville (0-0) at Pittsburgh (0-0) ============================================= Injury Report: Starting LCB Joel Harden (turf toe) and starting WOLB Allen Whitfield (broken foot) were both inactive for this game. The Game: Our quest to threepeat began quite inauspiciously after the Steeler scored a touchdown on their first possession. Things got worse when Berg's first pass of 2015 was intercepted by Carlos Thayer and returned 35-yards for a score! Five minutes into the new season, and we were trailing 14-0. Thanks to an 8-yard Herb Matthews receiving touchdown and a 3-yard touchdown scramble by Berg, we had cut Pittsburgh's lead down to 17-14 by the half. An Hidalgo field goal early on in the third tied the game up, and Mike Eagle's interception gave us a chance to take the lead. However, we soon fumbled the ball back to the Steelers. Ryan Longwell's field goal gave the Steelers a 20-17 lead going into the final quarter. Another Hidalgo field goal was not enough to give us the victory, as Steeler QB Buddy Mattingly hooked up twice with Kelvin Everett to finish us off by the final score of 34-20. Crap! Key Performers: Herb Matthews had 11 carries for 42 yards, as well as 4 catches for 47 yards and 1 TD. Berg had a really off day, as he completed 21 of 36 passes for 239 yards, 1 TD, 2 interceptions and 1 fumble. Earl Thornton pulled in 6 passes for 86 yards. New Injuries: Starting RB Everett Schwarz hyper-extended his elbow and will miss 2 weeks or so. Matthews will get the nod at RB in Week 2. SOLB Terrance Fuller suffered the same injury as Schwarz, but will require 3-5 weeks recovery time. ============================================= Dallas (0-0) at Philadelphia (0-0) The Cowboys pounded the Eagles for an-opening day victory. Double-crap! |

Week 2
Gatesville (0-1) at Washington (0-1) ============================================= The Game: Redskin QB Jimmie Bernstein threw 4 TD passes, Berg left the game early in the third quarter with an injury, and backup QB Dana Alston threw 3 interceptions in less than 2 quarters. Final score: Washington 28, Gatesville 14. Key Performers: Berg completed 9 of 22 passes for 120 yards before leaving the game. Dana Alston completed 11 of 28 attempts for 145 yards, 1 TD and 3 interceptions. Ty Robbins caught 9 passes for 160 yards. Rookie Sam Viola made 12 tackles in his second NFL start. ============================================= Dallas (1-0) at Tampa Bay (1-0) Jon Adams and the Buccaneers ran over the Cowboys, 20-10, to drop the Cowboys to .500. That's more like it! |

Week 3
Gatesville (0-2) at Arizona (1-1) ============================================= Injury Status Report: SOLB Terrance Fuller and LCB Joel Harden both were inactive for this game. The Game: Though it was only Week 3 of the 2015 season, we came into our game against the Cardinals badly needing a win to end the skid and to keep ourselves alive in the race for the NFC East title. A string of losses to division foes would spell doom for our threepeat attempt. An 8-yard touchdown grab by Chuck Farley that was set up by a nice 27-yard gain by Ralph Randle put us ahead 7-3 midway through the first quarter. The Cardinals responded by marching from their 21 to our 15 before running out of steam and settling for a Ledyard field goal. At the end of one quarter, we had a precarious 7-6 lead. After a mostly quiet second quarter, Hidalgo kicked a 51-yarder with 2:31 left in the half to extend our lead to 10-6. However, Ledyard would kick his third field goal of the half as time ran out to send us into the break nursing a 10-9 lead. Midway through the third quarter, Terry Zink found Ted Pierce for an 11-yard score that put them ahead 15-10. Fortunately, their 2-point attempt failed when defensive end Peter Hickman stuffed Kimbrell behind the line. 15-10, Cards. On our ensuing possession, Berg and the offense put together a 10-play, 50-yard drive that culminated in a 47-yard Hidalgo field goal which cut the lead to 15-13. The fourth quarter started off well, as a blitzing Allen Whitfield broke through the line and caused Zink to fumble the ball. Nose tackle Patrick Sanders recovered it and was able to rumble for 19 yards to our 45 before a Cardinal could bring him down. Taking advantage of the good field position, Bergeron moved the offense downfield with confidence, and capped the drive with a quick 3-yard touchdown toss to Earl Thornton. With 11:46 to go, we were leading 20-15. A 16-play, 76-yard Arizona drive that ate up 10-and-a-half minutes came next. Though the Cardinals had worked their way to a first-and-goal from our 3 yard line late in the game, our defense stood tall just when it needed to most, as rookie sensation Sam Viola knocked away Zink's pass to Wade Aleman on fourth-and-goal from our 2 to preserve the win. Berg and the offense ran off the remaining 2:48, but they knew that it was our defense that had carried us on this particular day... Though it was an ugly win, it nonetheless evened our divisional record at 1-1. Key Performers: Patrick Sanders had 1 tackle and 2 big fumble recoveries. Berg secured the Game MVP award by completing 21 of 32 pass attempts for 239 yards and 2 TDs. He also ran 7 times for 35 yards. Everett Schwarz had 9 carries for 60 yards. Earl Thornton had 4 catches for 58 yards and 1 TD. Chuck Farley had 2 grabs for 11 yards and 1 TD. ============================================= Green Bay (1-1) at Arizona (1-1) The Cowboys came out on top versus the Packers, winning by a 16-10 margin. Jerks. |

I look forward to the next installment, and hope you can still go on to further success with the obstacles Bill has put in your way Good luck in sunny Gatesville. |

Week 4
Cincinnati (1-2) at Gatesville (1-2) ============================================= Attendance: 46,000 (6,500 no-shows). The Game: What started off as a 27-7 laugher victory for us turned into a wild shoot-out that featured big play after big play. Missed field goals, fumbles recovered by the offense and taken to the house, a 51-yard Chuck Farley touchdown, an 85-yard Ty Robbins score, fumbles returned by the defense for scores, an intentional grounding call in the end zone that produced a safety, a failed 2-point conversion, a 73-yard punt return for a TD -- this game had it all. In the end, Berg's 30-yard strike to Antoine Dugans with 29 ticks left on the clock allowed us to survive the Bengals comeback bid, 33-32. The fans got their money's worth watching this game, that's for sure! The win evened our record at 2-2 a quarter of the way through the regular season. Key Performers: Berg captured the Game MVP award by completing 17 of 27 attempts for 390 yards, 3 TDs, and 1 interception. He also ran the ball 4 times for 18 yards and a score. Levon Wallace gained 40 yards on 6 carries from the fullback position. Ty Robbins had a whale of a game, as he amassed 156 yards and 1 TD on 5 receptions. The venerable Chuck U. gave the fans something to cheer about with 3 catches for 71 yards and 1 TD. Antoine Dugans caught 2 balls for 56 yards and the game-winning TD. Running backs Everett Schwarz and Herb Matthews both had wretched outings, as they averaged 1.7 and 1.8 ypc, respectively. New Injuries: Receiver Ralph Randle sprained his knee and will need a couple games to recover. ============================================= Arizona (1-2) at Dallas (2-1) The Cardinals dropped the Cowboys to .500 with a 20-10 victory in front of the remaining Dallas faithful. Next week, we will travel to Dallas to renew the series with the Cowboys, and one of us will be dropping below the .500 mark... |

Gatesville (2-2) at Dallas (2-2) ============================================ Injury Report: SOLB Terrance Fuller was unable to play with a hyper-extended elbow, so rookie Sam Viola slid outside and took over for Fuller. Split end Ralph Randle was out with a sprained knee, and was replaced by Ty Robbins in the starting lineup. The Game: Herb Matthews replaced the thus-far ineffective Everett Schwarz at RB for our duel with the Cowboys, as we tried to find a spark to get our stalled running game back on track. The Cowboys first drive of the day was a quick three-and-out, and following a short punt, we took over control of the ball from our own 47. Three consecutive passes to Ty Robbins for 10, 18, and 25 yards got us into the end zone in 80 seconds, and a scarce 4 minutes into the contest we found ourselves with a 7-0 lead. In a hole early, the Cowboys embarked on a long, time-consuming drive that took them from their 20 to our 8 in 17 plays. However, our defense stiffened up just in time, and the Cowboys came away with only a 23-yard field goal. 7-3. The fortunes were not smiling on us for the ensuing kick return, as rookie kick returner Cory McElroy coughed up the ball and the Cowboys returned it to our 9. Three plays later, the Cowboys went on top 10-7 with a 6-yard Flaherty run. Five minutes into the second quarter, Herb Matthews ran around the left end behind Darren Cruise for a 4-yard touchdown that would prove to be the only score of the quarter, so we went into the half holding a small 14-10 advantage. In the second half, we looked to pull away from the Cowboys, as Broderick Hidalgo kicked a 30-yarder and Ty Robbins capitalized on linebacker Dexter Mincy's interception of a Tracy Mazurek pass with a 13-yard touchdown reception that pushed our lead to 24-10 with five minutes to go in the third quarter. Our post-touchdown celebration turned out to be short-lived, as Joel Flannery took the ensuing kickoff 105 yards for a score to trim our lead to 24-17. In the fourth, another long Cowboy drive ended with a 40-yard field goal that made it 24-20 with 11 minutes remaining. In response, our offense reached the Cowboy 41 before stalling, but a decent Carr punt had them backed up to their own 12. I can't explain the feeling of blinding rage that passed through me as Oliver Carnahan broke free of our secondary and went the entire 88 yards in one play to make it a 27-24 Cowboys lead with 7 & 1/2 minutes to go. Determined to pull this one out, Berg and the offense took to the field starting from our 13. A steady mix of passes and Everett Schwarz runs moved us up the field, with Earl Thornton making 4 consecutive receptions in once stretch. At the two minute warning, we found ourselves just 18 yards from victory with a fresh set of downs. An illegal contact call on the Cowboys advanced us to the 13 before three consecutive Schwarz runs netted us minus 3 yards. On fourth-and-13 from the 16 with 57 seconds left in regulation, Hidalgo hit a 33-yard field goal to tie the game at 27 all. Just looking to get us to overtime, the defense withstood the Cowboy attack and the fourth quarter ended with the score still knotted at 27-27. In overtime, we won the toss and elected to receive, but the offense was quickly forced to punt it away. With their first possession of the extra period, the Cowboys were able to advance to just past midfield before being forced to punt too. With 9:12 left in OT, we took over from our 24. After a couple of runs set up third-and-3, Berg found Earl Thornton for 15 yards to move the chains for us. A 20-yard strike to Ty Robbins carried us past midfield to the Cowboy 34. From there, a Berg scramble and a short pass completion to the fullback Levon Wallace set up Broderick Hidalgo with a 29-yard attempt that could win it for us. With just 4:39 remaining in the overtime period, Hidalgo's kicked sailed true, sending us to victory and the Cowboys to below .500 for the season! Final score, 30-27 Pirates in OT. Whew! Go Gatesville! Key Performers: Berg put up some big numbers en route to dealing the hated Cowboys a painful loss, as he hit on 30 of 45 pass attempts for 379 yards, 2 TDs, and no interceptions. He also ran the ball 9 times for 57 yards. Ty Robbins, who got his first start of the season due to Ralph Randle's knee injury, responded to the opportunity with 14 catches for 213 yards and 2 scores! Someone please tell me what that guy had for breakfast!Earl Thorton had himself a pretty good outing too, as he pulled in 9 passes for 123 yards. Everett Schwarz, who filled in after Matthews left with a sprained ankle, carried the ball 12 times for 49 yards. Al Ingram, who loathes the Cowboys as much as anyone does, recorded 8 tackles and 2 assists on the day. |

I had me worried too. A loss to the Cowboys to drop us below .500 is almost unthinkable. **shivers**

Week 6
Philadelphia (1-4) at Gatesville (3-2) ============================================ Attendance: 48,400 bought tickets, 4,500 were no-shows. The Game: Ralph Randle's third touchdown of the day, an 11 yarder, which was set up by Randle's own 46-yard gain a few plays earlier, put us on top 35-10 in the fourth quarter, and that wound up being the final score. Key Performers: Randle won the Game MVP award with 10 catches for 161 yards and 3 TDs. Berg, the man getting all those touchdown passes to Randle, completed 22 of 40 passes for 329 yards, 4 TDs, and 1 pick. Ty Robbins pulled in 5 passes for 85 yards. New Injuries: Flanker Earl Thornton broke his nose and will need a couple weeks to recover fully. ============================================ Dallas (2-3) at Washington (2-3) Washington absolutely crushed the Cowboys, 41-10, to drop them to 2-4 on the year. Someone remind me to send the Skins a nice fruit basket. |

Week 8
Washington (4-3) at Gatesville (4-2) ============================================ Attendance: 51,300 bought tickets; 5,000 elected not to attend. The Game: The Redskins, who defeated us 28-14 back in Week 2, came into town looking to take over first place in the NFC East. On the other hand, we were looking to stay in first, and to get some good old fashioned revenge. Chuck Farley took first blood with a 2-yard touchdown reception in the first quarter, but Redskin QB Jimmie Bernstein soon connected with a Brant George to even the score at 7-7. The second quarter saw a field goal scored by each team, so we went into halftime all tied up at 10. Ty Robbins' 20-yard touchdown grab in the third quarter put us up 17-10, and from there it became the Broderick Hidalgo show, as he hit 3 field goals en route to a solid 26-10 victory over our division rivals. Key Performers: Berg claimed the Game MVP award with 30 completions in 46 attempts for 278 yards, 2 scores, and no interceptions. He did fumble once, but recovered the ball himself. Our woes at running back continued, as Matthews gained just 27 yards on 11 carries. Matthews did redeem himself somewhat with 7 catches for 67 yards. Chuck Farley caught 8 passes for 20 yards and 1 TD. Ty Robbins had 6 grabs for 85 yards and 1 TD. ============================================ Dallas had a bye this week. |

Week 9
Gatesville (5-2) at Baltimore (3-4) ============================================ The Game: Herb Matthews, apparently fired up by the bad press he got during the week leading up to this game, scored 3 times in the first quarter, twice on the ground and once through the air, to put us up 24-0. Chuck Farley got in the act in the third quarter with a pretty 17-yard touchdown grab, and we cruised to an easy 48-23 victory over the Ravens. The win was our sixth in a row after our rocky 0-2 start. Key Performers: Berg once again was selected as MVP. Before leaving the game in the third quarter with a 48-10 lead, Berg completed 19 of 30 attempts for 301 yards, 4 TDs, and no interceptions. He also ran 8 times for 50 yards. Matthews ran the ball 7 times for 53 yards and 2 TDs. He also caught 4 passes for 38 yards and another score. Chuck Farley made 7 grabs for 82 yards and 1 TD. Earl Thornton had 4 catches for a buck twelve and 1 TD. Ralph Randle made 3 catches for 56 yards and 1 TD. New Injuries: Starting MLB Al Ingram sprained his knee. Estimated recovery time is 2 weeks. Starting LG Rusty Pleasant has turf toe and will also need a couple weeks to heal up. ============================================ Washington (4-4) at Dallas (3-4) The Cowboys moved back up to .500 with a 23-12 victory over the Deadskins. Next I will have the midseason report for your perusal. It's always fun seeing how much better we are than the Cowboys. |

2015 Midseason Report:
With half of the 2015 season now in the books, our team had an 80 power rating, which was good enough for first in the NFC. The Cowboys, on the other hand, had a 47 power rating, which was good for ninth place in the NFC. Pittsburgh was first overall with an awe-inspiring 98 power rating. Currently, we have scored 226 points (2nd), while the Cowboys have scored 142 (tied for 24th). Our defense has allowed 179 points (tied for 24th ), while the Cowboys have yielded only 158 (13th). Still, most statistics are slanted in our favor.After a poor start that saw us drop our first 2 games, we recovered nicely with 6 consecutive wins. The second half of our schedule features 5 home games, but also features 5 teams with 5-3 or better records. It won't be a cakewalk, that I can tell you right now. Here is how things stack up so far:
The Cardinals seem to have returned from their down years, and are presenting a serious challenge to us for the NFC East title. As for the league in general, this year looks to be the most competitive race for the championship that I can recall. There are a lot of very good teams out there right now. To quote John Houseman, if we are going to threepeat this year, we are going to have to "earn it."
Top Performers: Berg is putting up stellar numbers again, while our running game is looking less impressive to say the least. Sadly, Berg is our top passer and rusher right now.
What can I say? The Cowboys do not have very many bright spots on their roster right now. Mazurek has thrown 8 picks against 5 TDs, 2 of their top 3 receivers had 1 TD each, and their runners aren't much better than ours. This team just is not very good.
Anyhow, I am looking forward to the second half of the schedule. Right now we are in position to make a run at the third title, but things can really still go either way for us. With Tampa Bay up next, we will be tested early and often in the coming weeks. I think we will pass, just as long as we've got Berg firing on all cylinders. |

Thanks, cheese! Interesting username you got there! I'd have chosen Cheddar myself, but that is because Cheddar is the King Of All Cheeses in my book. Anyhow, glad you've enjoyed it so far. There should be more coming soon...

Week 10
Gatesville (6-2) at Tampa Bay (6-2) ============================================ Injury Report: Starting middle linebacker Al Ingram is nursing a sprained knee which still needs a couple weeks. Starting left guard Rusty Pleasant's turf toe will also require about 2 more weeks to recover. The Game: On a sunny, 80-degree day in Florida, we took the field to face a Buccaneer team that, like ourselves, was thinking Super Bowl this season. Lady luck appeared to have given us a gift, as just last week, Jon Adams, the 2014 NFL MVP running back, had gone down with a sprained back. His return was not expected until the playoffs. However, Dwight Norris, Tampa Bay's starting QB, after many years as a backup, had finally come into his own as one of the league's top QBs. Instead of their usual punishing running game, the Bucs looked to come after us with the passing game. Thanks to a nice kickoff return by Percy Stewart, we started out with great field position at our own 43. Looking to surprise the Buc defense a little, we kept to the ground with 5 consecutive runs to move to the Tampa 36. From there, Berg took to the air with an 8-yard dump-off to Chuck Farley to move us to the 28. Unfortunately, a short Herb Matthews run and two incompletions forced a 43-yard field goal attempt. Hidalgo hit a line-drive that was blocked at the line of scrimmage by blitzing cornerback Brandon Cook, who also recovered the ball at the Tampa 37. Tampa went three-and-out, and we took over from our 27 midway through the first quarter. Our next drive saw running back Herb Matthews handle the ball a lot, with a run and a couple of receptions, but it was Everett Schwarz who found his way into the end zone with an impressive 20-yard gallop behind backup left guard Rob Stanton to put us ahead 7-0 late in the first. For the second time in as many tries, the Tampa offense was ineffective, and it was another quick three-and-out. This time, we followed suit. The second quarter began with Tampa's third offensive series without a first down. An 8-play, 67-yard drive ended with Chuck Farley on the receiving end of a 2-yard touchdown pass from Bergeron that increased our margin to 14-0. The Bucs were finally able to get a few first downs, as they drove from their 22 to our 33 with Norris gaining most of the yardage on passes or scrambles. However, Ronald Ingoglia's 50-yard field goal attempt fell short with 5 minutes left in the half. Neither team could do much of anything for the rest of the quarter, so we went into the break with a 14-0 lead. A 48-yard completion to Andre Barker on their first play of the second half helped set up the Buc's first score, a 10-yard touchdown pass to Donovan Burroughs in the back left corner of the end zone. 14-7, Gatesville. With 7 minutes left in the third, Dave Sanders picked off Dwight Norris and returned it 10 yards to give us the ball just this side of midfield. Our offense capitalized quickly with Matthews picking up 28 yards on 2 carries and Earl Thornton finishing the drive with 2 receptions, the second of which was a 7-yard touchdown that made it 21-7 Gatesville with 4:30 to go in the third. The Buccaneer offense came to life once more in the fourth quarter, as Norris took advantage of good field position by punching in a 5-yard touchdown pass to Andre Welch to cap a 58-yard drive and to move within one score of us, 21-14 with 13 minutes left in the contest. Looking to regain the momentum with our next possession, fullback Levon Wallace tried to gain a little extra yardage, but instead ended up fumbling the ball into linebacker Marco Curtis' hands on our 31. Five plays later, the Bucs made us pay with a 3-yard touchdown run by Deon Arnold to tie the game at 21-21. A holding call on the ensuing kickoff set us up on our own 5, and Berg left the game with a pulled groin after handing it off to Wallace on our first play. In came untested backup QB Dana Alston, but we kept it on the ground until we were forced to punt the ball from our 24. With an impeccable sense of timing, punter Bill Carr boomed the ball all of 30 yards. Following Shawn Spoljaric's return, the Bucs had the ball on our 47 with 6 minutes remaining. The horror continued as the Buc's offense could do nothing, yet a defensive holding call set up Ingoglia's go-ahead field goal attempt from 53-yards out with 4:31 to go. Of course, it was good, and for the first time of the day, we found ourselves trailing, 24-21. A 17-yard completion by Alston to Matthews on third down was not enough to overcome 2 runs which netted -1 yard and a holding penalty, so we were quickly forced to let Carr punt once again. With just 2:13 left on the clock, the Bucs kept to the ground, and an illegal contact call on third-and-11 assured that our offense wouldn't get a final chance. End of contest. 24-21, Bucs. Key Performers: Before leaving the game in the fourth quarter, Berg completed 16 of 27 attempts for 156 yards and 2 TDs, with no interceptions. Backup QB Dana Alston completed his only pass attempt for 17 yards. Herb Matthews ran the ball 13 times for 31 yards, while also catching 6 passes form 72 yards. Everett Schwarz ran 11 times for 66 yards and a score. New Injuries: Berg's pulled-groin will cost us his services for an estimated 3-5 weeks. ============================================ Dallas (4-4) at Cincinnati (3-5) The Bengals earned themselves a big blue star for beating the Cowboys 17-12 to drop the 'Boys below .500. Ordinarily, this would have been cause for celebration, but Berg's injury has dampened spirits around here considerably. We can make due without just about anyone except Berg, but I honestly don't think we can win many games without him. |

Week 11
San Francisco (6-3) at Gatesville (6-3) ============================================ Attendance: 52,500 people bought tickets for this important game against the playoff- contending 49ers, a record at Microsoft Stadium. Injury Update: With Berg out for 3-5 weeks, the fans spent the entire week decrying the fact that we had shipped last year's backup QB, Luke Birk, to Seattle for a 7th-round pick. Sadly, I found myself agreeing with them. I rolled the dice on this one, and came out the loser. Dana Alston, who has thrown 1 regular season pass, will get the start in Berg's place. Hurry back, Berg! Pleeeeease! Al Ingram has returned from his sprained knee and will resume his role at starting middle linebacker. The Game: Dana Alston's first NFL touchdown pass went to cult hero Chuck Farley midway through the second quarter to put us on top 10-3. Soon after, Alan Hines intercepted Buddy Stargell and returned the ball 58-yards to set up a 2-yard Matthews run that expanded our lead to 17-3 before the half. Ralph Randle's 14-yard touchdown reception in the third quarter gave us a comfortable 23-3 lead, and we held on to win 26-10. Key Performers: Dana Alston performed reasonably well despite a couple of miscues. On the day, he went 30 of 44 for 254 yards, 2 TDs, and 1 interception. He also fumbled once. Herb Matthews improved on his previous performance by gaining 62 yards and 1 TD on 15 carries, while also pulling in 9 passes for 75 yards. Ralph Randle caught 5 balls for 52 yards and a score. Chuck Farley caught his 6th touchdown of the season en route to a 4-catch, 20-yard performance. He hasn't been a big yardage producer this year, but I like his frequent scoring. ============================================ St. Louis (6-3) at Dallas (4-5) The Cowboys narrowly edged the Rams 19-17 to get back to .500. The good news is that it doesn't look like the Cowboys are going to make the playoffs. |

Week 12
Arizona (6-4) at Gatesville (7-3) ============================================ Attendance: 52,500. Injury Report: No miracles this week - Berg is still out with the pulled groin, and may need up to 2 more weeks to fully recover. The good news is, his return would be just in time for the Dallas game. Left guard Rusty Pleasant will also need a couple more weeks to overcome his turf toe injury. The Game: In Week 12 of 2015, the second-place Cardinals came to town looking to take the lead away from us in the NFC East. We had beaten them back in Week 3 by the score of 20-15, so they were trying to get some measure of revenge against us. A loss to the Cards would drop us to 4-2 in the East, and put them just ahead of us at 4-1 within the division. We caught a little bit of a break against them, as their regular signal-caller, Terry Zink, was out with a dislocated knee, and backup QB James Porrus would be starting in Zink's place. Whether or not we would be able take advantage of Zink's absence remained to be seen... Late in the first quarter, backup cornerback Jack Basford knocked the ball out of Conrad Wyoming's hands on a kickoff return, and Derek Brandon was able to scoop it up and return it 17 yards to the Arizona 23. One play later, Dana Alston connected with Ralph Randle, who dodged and dashed his way to paydirt, making it a 10-3 score in favor of the good guys. Another Alston passing touchdown to Herb Matthews in the second quarter would send us into the half with a 17-6 advantage. The only score of the third quarter was David Ledyard's third field goal of the day, a 44 yarder that made it 17-9. With 10 minutes left to go in regulation, a 28-yard Bill Carr punt set Arizona up at their own 31. Three plays later, running back Bruce Klemm went around the right end of the line and tore through our secondary for 42 yards before someone finally dragged him down at our 14. On the very next play, Klemm tried the same thing and found himself in the end zone without ever having been touched. Feeling that momentum was on their side, they gave the ball to Klemm again for the 2 point conversion, but this time defensive end Peter Hickman was there to stop him. 17-15, Gatesville, with just under 8 minutes left. I have to admit that they caught us a bit off guard when they went for the onside kick. That element of surprise allowed Cardinal's safety Ronnie Campbell to come up with it, and there they were with the ball again on their 41. Following a 19-yard Klemm run that moved the Cards to our 39, Klemm was given a breather, and fullback Brandon Kimbrell was given the call. Strong safety Alan Hines hit Kimbrell at full steam, and although Hines was the one who went flying, the ball came flying out too. Happily, right end Frankie Farley was there to fall on it at our 45, and we had dodged a bullet. Regrettably, Alston and the offense were unable to do anything with the opportunity, and soon we reluctantly sent Carr on to do his thing. Surprisingly, he pinned Arizona on their 16 with 4:45 remaining. Suddenly, things weren't looking so bleak. One more defensive stand might be enough to win it for us! A series of Klemm runs with occasional Porras passes thrown in moved the Cards to our 29, and with 1:21 left to go, they took an 18-17 lead on a 46-yard Ledyard field goal, his fourth of the day. With the game now hanging in the balance, Alston and the offense took over from our 20 with a buck-sixteen on the clock. Immediately, Alston went to the air, but 4 passes later, we had gained just 3 yards, and the ball went back over to Arizona on downs with 34 seconds left. Final score, Arizona 18, Gatesville 17. What hurt so much about this loss was that it easily could have been a win. But a win was apparently not meant to be on this day, as Arizona took over first place in the East with 5 weeks to go, while we dropped down to second place. Key Performers: Game MVP Bruce Klemm ran through our defense for 139 yards and 1 TD on 30 carries. Herb Matthews, our best rusher, gained 75 yards on 12 carries. Matthews also caught 3 passes for 12 yards and 1 TD. Dana Alston played decently enough, as he completed 17 of 34 for 162 yards, 2 TDs, and 1 interception. Still, our offense is clearly missing the presence of Berg behind center. Ralph Randle led our receivers with 6 catches for 59 yards and 1 TD. ============================================ Dallas (5-5) at Tennessee (6-4) A very average Tennessee team throttled the Cowboys 30-13 to once again drop them to below .500 on the season. Now if they can just stay there. |
