Each week this blog gets tougher and tougher to write. It\u2019s hard to write when the team isn\u2019t getting a lot of W\u2019s. But I\u2019m not gonna change my tune. I still believe in our team, our coach and our defense. This year obviously hasn\u2019t gone the way we would like it to go for the most part. We\u2019ve had some wins over some very good teams and I think we can continue to build on that. As bad as some people want to make this season sound, there is still a lot of football left to be played. In fact we can still end up with a .500 record. If we win out we can end up with an 8-8 record, a possible season sweep of the Dallas Cowboys, a winning record within our division and a win over every team in our division. While that may not get us into the playoffs, if we win the remainder of our games then that wouldn\u2019t be a half bad resume. <\/p>\n<p>Last week&#8217;s game was a game we could have and should have won. We dominated the first half and played well in the second half. On any given Sunday anybody can beat anybody. It was a very tough loss because I believe we outplayed them, but on this particular Sunday, it just wasn\u2019t meant to be. <\/p>\n<p>This week we play the Cowboys again. We already own one victory over them this year. I learned very quickly when I first got here how big of a rivalry this is. As if the \u201cWe Want Dallas\u201d chants weren\u2019t enough of an indication during the preseason games. The Cowboys are a much different team today than the one we played the first game of the year. Their new coach has them playing hard, inspired, physical football. I can\u2019t wait! I\u2019m also excited to play in their stadium. It will be my first time in it. I can\u2019t wait to check out \u201cJerry World\u201d and then go play a great football game.<\/p>\n<p>This past Monday I made an appearance on The Phillip Daniels Radio Show and put to bed the debate of who the strongest guy on the team is. It\u2019s clearly me and I had a great time doing it and doing the show with those guys. I hope everyone who watched online and listened in enjoyed the show. I enjoy doing things like that. I particularly enjoyed the drunk guy who was talking trash to all of us and got thrown out of the place. Those are priceless moments.<\/p>\n<p>For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 John 3:16<\/p>\n<p>Edit: This blog was archived in May of 2016 from our original articles database.It was originally posted by Adam Carriker<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Any Given Sunday I\u2019m not gonna lie.
