Eagles fly into the black hole and come away with win.
Raiders go on winning drive down to the wire with 12 second left
just a kick away and over on the sideline lacing up is shoes (Blanda ).
There the snap & hold and it's it's it's no good wide right Eagle WIN GAME 21-20. What a classic game WE ARE THE DWFEFL.

I was suppose to come over and film it but I got "hoodwinked" into officiating it. However, I did not mind it as it was a great scouting session for the Cowboys.

Anyways, the game was another classic. Barry Stephenson and his Eagles could easily be 5-0 or 0-5 because each one of his wins and losses have come on the last play.

In his first game, he won over Michael Robertson, 24-21 as Mike attempted a last second field goal and lost. It went wide left.

Then he played DeWone and went 80 yards to score with 1 second on the clock.
He beat the Lions 20-14.

Then he turned around and lost to the Cowboys after he scored with 1:05 left to take the lead only to see the Cowboys go 90 yards in 10 plays to win with a last second field goal 31-29.

And then last night, as the Oakland Raiders ran down the clock and kicked for the game winner with 12 seconds on the clock right down the middle of the field only to see the kick go wide.

You could see all the raw emotions of both coaches as the Raiders matriculated down the field only to be turned away. Barry stays about 1 hour from Rob's house so you know, he called Mike Robertson in glee, as he went home. The ride was a very happy ride. The Raiders were left being consoled by ShernRob Inc., and myself, wondering what could have been.

Great game by both coaches and another classic ending!

My ticker cant take another game like this... ugh... what a fun game against the Big Cuban.. he stated later to me that his confidence had improved greatly even after this close loss.. but I knew all along the Eagles would feel blessed with a win a no matter how we could get it.. RD is an monster coach in the league and a student of the hobby.... dont ever take this one for granted... we were lucky in the Raider Nation.. Barry

Barry,
"You were lucky" ? I don't think so, you are an outstanding coach and I was fortunate that I had an opportunity to win at the end, unfortunately for the Raiders the kick went right just by inches with 12 seconds left. You deserved this Barry, you earned it. We will spend countless hours now to correct the kicking situation. Congrats to you again coach and good luck the rest of the way.

sounds like a great game guys! Two great franchises and classy coaches in the DFW battling it out.
