Cowboys Vs Lions ***Official Game Thread***

[Cbz40]

Please post all game comments in this thread. Thank You

At the end of the day we need to be 7-3....now get us a "W".

[dragon_mikal]

I'm always nervous when we play the Lions.

I think we win today, but it will be close. Closer than it should be.

But with everyone picking us and saying the Lions haven't won 2 in a row in a year and are horrible on the road, I can't help the feeling that this is a major trap game. At least Bill Parcells thinks so, too. Let's hope the team is ready. :starspin

[Cbz40]

Go Cowboys..........................

[big dog cowboy]

Mousetraps = message sent.

Cowboy win.

[dallasblue05]

[BigDFan5]

[dragon_mikal]

Let's go offense! Keep it up!

Nice toss to Glenn.

Let's see some MBIII...or Julius.

[Jammer]

Please keep the updates coming. I'm stuck in a hotel room without access to the Cowboys except through Internet radio feeds.

[Mr Cowboy]

Should be a first down.........

[dragon_mikal]

Lets get the 1st...

Oh...inches...we got that easy.

QB sneak...

[BigDFan5]

QB sneak first down!

[The30YardSlant]

Mike Vick :laugh2:

[BigDFan5]

JJ loses 1

2nd and 11

[Mr Cowboy]

JJ looked a little tentative on that run...............

[dragon_mikal]

Made it...

Lets go offense! Lets go offense!

Deep to Glenn! *sigh* Weird running play there but at least Bill's trying something different.

[BigDFan5]

Mike Vick :laugh2:


:lmao:

[Westcoasthabsfan]

Big game today..... Looking good so far

[dragon_mikal]

Julius is here to play guys! Looking good today so far! :bow:

[The30YardSlant]

Great play JJ

[BigDFan5]

first down JJ!!

[RedLine]

That is 3 1st downs for JJ

[Dallas4ever]

JJ ready to shine today!

[The30YardSlant]

JJ for 7 more :bow:

[BigDFan5]

JJ for 6

[RedLine]

Jones is running great. I love it!

[The30YardSlant]

3rd and 1

[Westcoasthabsfan]

JJ averaging seven yards a carry so far today..... NICE

[dragon_mikal]

Let's go offense! Easy 7 on this drive!

Julius! Julius! Julius! :bow:

Keep it going! Ahh...so close. Get another 1st...

Nice long drive here, guys. Let's keep it up. He has it.

[The30YardSlant]

Barber with the 1st

[AbeBeta]

JJ averaging seven yards a carry so far today..... NICE

average is meaningless over a sample of 6 carries

[Mr Cowboy]

The friking Foreskins just returned an interception for a TD....................

[kojak]

washington just scores

redskins-7
raiders-o

[LaTunaNostra]

This is the kind of drive we need to be capable of to separate from the pack in the last half of the season. A drive heavy on the run, utilzing the backs as receivers, and one which will take pressure off the QB AND soften up the D for an occasional look deep.

Now let's get it into the endzone..

[Cbz40]

JJ 38 yds so far on the 1st drive.

[Juke99]

Julius is officially sending a message to Marion Barber...and Bill Parcells...

Great determination...

He also looks like a "happy" RB. Notice his feet...they are skippin and hoppin

[dragon_mikal]

Looking sharp so far, guys.

Julius looking really good.

[RedLine]

How many yards does Julius have already? Must be close to 50! The line is blocking and he is running great! Hope they can keep it up.

[dragon_mikal]

is going on?

[Jimz31]

6 carries for 38 yards

[Westcoasthabsfan]

average is meaningless over a sample of 6 carries

I know that I was just throwing something out there

[AbeBeta]

If we can win the possession game here by having the ball for 35-40 minutes that will be huge for the D thursday.

[rojan]

he has 38

[RedLine]

The lions are run blitzing now.

[BigDFan5]

damn witten :(

[dragon_mikal]

Ahh...good job refs.

Lets go offense. TD coming up.

Too high...was that guy offsides? He looked like it to me.

[Canadian BoyzFan]

OMG....that was a sure TD.....dammit

[RedLine]

That would have been a TD!

[dragon_mikal]

PI...

That was almost a disaster.

[RedLine]

Sweet, a flag on the loins!

[BigDFan5]

illegal contact on detroit 1st down!

[The30YardSlant]

The Lions are jumping offsides

[Draegerman]

Caught a break there

[Mr Cowboy]

What a break..........the D-Line is alomost off sides

[LaTunaNostra]

Jon McGraw. lol

[BigDFan5]

Barber for 11 1st down and goal

[dragon_mikal]

We get a 2nd chance guys. Let's do this. Get in the endzone.

Good run by Barber! Yes...our running game looking very good so far. :bow:

[The30YardSlant]

Barber to the 5

[BigDFan5]

TD Barber!!!!!!!!!!!

[dragon_mikal]

TD COWBOYS!

Barber! :bow:

[The30YardSlant]

Touchdown!!!!! Barber!!!

[Dallas4ever]

Nice!

[Mr Cowboy]

What a huge hole............I could've run through that...........

[Westcoasthabsfan]

Barber with a ten yard scamper... 1st and goal

[Draegerman]

It feels so good to be able to control the line of scrimmage like we are today.

[Canadian BoyzFan]

Nice run Barber.

[RedLine]

Woot Mb3!

[LaTunaNostra]

There was a nice use of eight minutes off the clock.

[Eskimo]

What a great start this week running the ball - overcome two non-calls on offsides.

Kudos to OL and RBs.

[Cbz40]

Great opening Drive...8 min & 7

[RedLine]

Could be a looooong day for the lions D.

[Juke99]

Oh..this RB competition is going to be a good thing.

Two young guys duking it out...both look determined as hell.

[Eskimo]

It'll be interesting to see if the run D is better this weekend. Kevin Jones has struggled this year but got some yards against Zona last week.

[RedLine]

What a great start this week running the ball - overcome two non-calls on offsides.

Kudos to OL and RBs.

I saw that also, what is up with that? We had some of that last week also.

[TruBlueCowboy]

Holy smokes. We're going to destroy Detroit as long as the defense doesn't have problems. Kept their defense out there on the field already for most of the 1st quarter! I LOVE watching Julius and Barber sharing the load and running it down their throats!! This is 80's New York Giants football right here!!

[Canadian BoyzFan]

You just gotta love those kind of drives.

[Juke99]

and....I was thinking all week...the Monday night game was great...we stole a win...and gave Pacells a week to beat the team up because of bad performance...

Looks like we fixed the running game...

Let's see about stopping it now

[Westcoasthabsfan]

Lets go D time to go to work

[RedLine]

and....I was thinking all week...the Monday night game was great...we stole a win...and gave Pacells a week to beat the team up because of bad performance...

Looks like we fixed the running game...

Let's see about stopping it now

Yeah, I want to see how our D does.

[dragon_mikal]

Lets go defense!

Step it up and crush those Lions!

Short kick...come on Cundiff.

[The30YardSlant]

Lets go D!!!

[LaTunaNostra]

Looks like we fixed the running game...

Let's see about stopping it now

AH will play a big role in that.

[Jimz31]

Cundiff better work on that leg strength again.

[Juke99]

Wowza..Drummond's got some wheels.

Lousy kick by Cundiff...

[RedLine]

Not a good kick from Cundiff at all. The coverage sucked also.

[Juke99]

AH will play a big role in that.


I wanna see how motivated the D line is...the consistently got pushed off the LOS Monday night...

[Duane]

Kick sucked bad. Hopefully the defense can step it up.

[The30YardSlant]

Man, it sounds loud!!!

[RedLine]

hehe, back em up!

[Mr Cowboy]

Let's get a TD on D

[The30YardSlant]

Good tackle Davis

[Canadian BoyzFan]

Pretty good tackle there by Davis.....that could have been a long run.

[RedLine]

That one is on Ware, he needs to get to the outside.

[The30YardSlant]

3rd down and 2 or 3

[dragon_mikal]

Come on defense!

Lets force a 3 and out. Damn.

[The30YardSlant]

first down Lions

[The30YardSlant]

KJ loss of 3

[Canadian BoyzFan]

Run stuff..nice.

[Jimz31]

Chicago leading 7-0 and with the ball against the vaunted Panthers.

[The30YardSlant]

Bad tackling

[Canadian BoyzFan]

Someone missed a tackle there.

[BigDFan5]

missed tackles grrr

[dragon_mikal]

Good God... ?

I guess our run defense has just imploded over the last couple of weeks?

COME ON DEFENSE!

CRAP! Flag...offensive PI...hahahahaha.

That was close.

[Canadian BoyzFan]

Offensive PI......

[The30YardSlant]

Offensive PI

[TruBlueCowboy]

Was worried about this. Detroit's offense didn't look bad at all last week. Harrington had his best game of the year last week and Roy Williams is back. Defense really needs to step up now.

[TruBlueCowboy]

By the way, Vick just got hurt pretty bad in the Falcons game. Our NFC hunt may be easier.

[The30YardSlant]

Vick hurt

[dragon_mikal]

Great...when is Henry coming back?

Come on defense! Roy Williams...grrrr...

[Jimz31]

By the way, Vick just got hurt pretty bad in the Falcons game. Our NFC hunt may be easier.

What a surprise....the glorified RB goes down again.

[The30YardSlant]

RW tearing us a new one

[RoyWilliams31]

again damn he gets injured 5 times a game

[Canadian BoyzFan]

Anyone sensing a shootout???

[Mr Cowboy]

Roy William is gonna kill us all day...........

[Dallas4ever]

Damnnnnnnnnnnnnn

[The30YardSlant]

RW got held, our RW

[dragon_mikal]

Can we please force a FG? These are the Lions for crying out loud!

They are led by freakin' Joey Harrington! GOOD JOB!




FLAG...*sigh*

Oh...on them. Yay.

[Eskimo]

Why did we accept the penalty on the 3rd down hold?

[The30YardSlant]

We took the penalty? Why?

[Canadian BoyzFan]

We bend..but don't break. Why do we accept that penalty???

[TruBlueCowboy]

Why did we accept the penalty on the 3rd down hold?
out field goal range now

[dragon_mikal]

Hmmm...3rd and long makes me nervous.

*whew*

[Dallas4ever]

Good D!

[BigDFan5]

way to step up D

[The30YardSlant]

Great job D

[Jimz31]

Maybe BP finally trusts his defense.

[AbeBeta]

out of fg range

[Eskimo]

out field goal range now

A bit risky though - did work out this time. The FG was 51 yards and not a gimme.

[Juke99]

man oh man, their Roy Williams is a physical specimen like ours...

[Cbz40]

Whew!!! we finally stopped them........The Detroit RW is going to be hard to stop

[Westcoasthabsfan]

Not Great first defensive stand but not bad..... no damage done

[TruBlueCowboy]

hopefully just a fluke, lot of offenses seem to have good early drives against our D, it's the first 5 minutes, and the last 5 minute we always seem to have to worry about LOL

[Juke99]

RW got held, our RW


On the nosey...right in front of Harrington...

[Eskimo]

man oh man, their Roy Williams is a physical specimen like ours...

Yeah, Det RW almost looks like a LB out there.

[The30YardSlant]

man oh man, their Roy Williams is a physical specimen like ours...

Sorry to say, but I'd take their RW over ours in a heartbeat

[Juke99]

Not Great first defensive stand but no bad..... no damage done


Saved by their mistakes...gotta do a better job than that.

[Canadian BoyzFan]

Delhomme looks like crap in Chicago...2 picks already.

Chi 10-0

[dragon_mikal]

Come on offense...lets go down and score another TD.

[ghettogandhi]

is henry playing

[Eskimo]

The run D appears better overall today - there is penetration and we aren't getting shoved off the line - just need to do a better job with the tackling.

[rojan]

Im not positive but I heard that the Lions allways plan there 1st drive or 2 in practice

[Dallas4ever]

Nice throw and catch.

[Canadian BoyzFan]

Beuatiful throw catch to Glenn. First down!!!

[The30YardSlant]

Washington fumbles at their 15

[dragon_mikal]

Nice play to Glenn...

Let's go guys. Keep it up. Flag.

[Dallas4ever]

About time they called one.

[BigDFan5]

Redskins update

Portis fumbles Raiders recover on Washington 15

[RoyWilliams31]

Sorry to say, but I'd take their RW over ours in a heartbeat

NEVER LOL

[Cbz40]

Good they finally called the off sides

[Dallas4ever]

They'll have to back off.

[Westcoasthabsfan]

Man the flags are really flying right now

[Dallas4ever]

Tampa owning Atlanta again.

[Westcoasthabsfan]

Perfect time for a play action pass.....

:laugh2:

[Juke99]

I LOVE IT!!!!

Our guys figured out what the Lions D line is keying on for their jump starts on the rush...and now, we're using it against them...

Great stuff...

[RedLine]

Maybe that will stop the loins from jumping offsides now that the refs are watching for it.

[Canadian BoyzFan]

Man the flags are really flying right now

None on us. Ihave been very impressed with our discipline of late.

[Juke99]

Something tells me Julius is gonna bust a long one today....

[Eskimo]

Hopefully these calls take some of the starch out of them because they are really trying to anticipate the count and have gotten a couple of "good jumps". We should run to Tucker's side - the DE is taking himself way out of the play with outside speed rushes.

[BigDFan5]

JJ fumble

[Eskimo]

Something tells me Julius is gonna bust a long one today....

Julius' cuts today are better today but his explosiveness or second gear don't appear there yet.

Rats - fumble.

[Juke99]

ooops...looks like I put the whammy on Julius... :banghead:

[The30YardSlant]

Crap :banghead:

[RoyWilliams31]

can everyone stop jinxing him lol

[dragon_mikal]

Damn!

[Westcoasthabsfan]

Lets go DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[kojak]

oakland-3
redskins-7

[Juke99]

can everyone stop jinxing him lol


Yeah.

OOOPS.

[Cbz40]

Dadgummit......

[dargonking999]

ooops...looks like I put the whammy on Julius... :banghead:


juke what ahve you done!?!?


i think his knee was down.


nvm i hope it was :banghead:

[Juke99]

Looked down to me...challenge.


His left knee, right?

[JohnsKey19]

thats exactly what we dont need. just great...

[dargonking999]

nope i was wrong

[RedLine]

Way too much time!!!

[dragon_mikal]

Come on defense.

Good job...

[BigDFan5]

Punt time for detroit

[The30YardSlant]

Great coverage, 4th down

[Eskimo]

Great coverage by Aaron Glenn again against the bigger man - what a godsend he has been.

[Cbz40]

Good stop D

[TruBlueCowboy]

Phew! Avoided a disaster there.

[Dallas4ever]

Great coverage by Aaron Glenn again against the bigger man - what a godsend he has been.

No doubt.

[Jammer]

My radio feed is pretty bad. It's at least 2 plays behind.

At least I have you guys. :)

[Westcoasthabsfan]

Another stop by the D.... things are looking better and better.... JJ hang onto the ball

[Juke99]

Coincidence or not, their RB's are bouncing inside runs to the outside after it worked against us Monday night...???

[fortdick]

JJ better hold on to the ball, MB3 is coming on!

[JohnsKey19]

nice play by glenn. but i hate the way teams are able to scheme so that they're best WR is always going up against Glenn on obvious passing downs.

[Westcoasthabsfan]

3-0 Giants early second Q

[Jimz31]

My radio feed is pretty bad. It's at least 2 plays behind.

At least I have you guys. :)

Well...you can go to NFL.com and the play-by-play (viewing) is only 1/2 a play behind.

[RoyWilliams31]

eagles offense looks like a disaster

[TruBlueCowboy]

nice play by glenn. but i hate the way teams are able to scheme so that they're best WR is always going up against Glenn on obvious passing downs.

i think we only have to worry about that if one of the 3 corners is injured, phily showed last week the drop off after Glenn :(

[thewivil]

My radio feed is pretty bad. It's at least 2 plays behind.

At least I have you guys. :)

Man, I can't get any of them to work. Which one are you using?

[BigDFan5]

1st down Glenn!

[Eskimo]

Coincidence or not, their RB's are bouncing inside runs to the outside after it worked against us Monday night...???

Yeah, the LBs need to get off their blocks and not get caught up in the traffic. We a re doing a better job, though.

[The30YardSlant]

Glenn for 15

[Jimz31]

Man, I can't get any of them to work. Which one are you using?

Go to the radio links thread...I posted which one was working.

[BigDFan5]

roughing passer on Detroit

[kojak]

man there must be like a 30 to 45 second diffrence from the radio play by play, to the tv play by play. I am reading things here that our happning while I am hearing commercials on the radio. LOL

[Jammer]

Man, I can't get any of them to work. Which one are you using?
The KCTI one from Gamelive.

[Mr Cowboy]

Damn we are getting all the breaks

[fortdick]

Man, I can't get any of them to work. Which one are you using?

KHKX was the only one I could get to work

[RedLine]

Good D by the lions, up untill they hit Drew late. :)

[Jammer]

Well...you can go to NFL.com and the play-by-play (viewing) is only 1/2 a play behind.
Oh, I doing that too. :D

[Jimz31]

The KCTI one from Gamelive.

WLRT from Gamelive is also working.

[dragon_mikal]

Come on offense. Lets see something here.

[RoyWilliams31]

im doing the one on espn gamecast

[dragon_mikal]

was that? God.

[fortdick]

Any word on the injury to Vick?

[jordan20]

I'm just now tuning in. Just wondering becuse Fowler took Shanle's place when he got hurt instead of Dat.

[JohnsKey19]

McQuarters worries me. I wouldn't keep testing him on short routes. He makes some sharp breaks on the ball.

[Juke99]

Pettitti has no clue where he is....Hope he's ok

[Eskimo]

Pettiti looks like he got his bell rung on that last play.

Man, we suck at screens but it looks like BP is going to keep running them until we can start executing them.

[TruBlueCowboy]

Any word on the injury to Vick?

back in the game

[Cbz40]

Rob looking a little dizzy.......shake it off Rob

[Juke99]

and a word about Bledsoe...he is one courageous guy...he just hangs in that pocket, waiting for the play..making his reads.

[RedLine]

Good time for a time out. Looks like Rob could use a little break to clear his head. Hope he is okay.

[fortdick]

back in the game

Good news. I hate him, but don't want to see him hurt.

[Cbz40]

Rob still in

[Eskimo]

Our lack of depth at OT is truly scary - Ben Noll anyone?

[BigDFan5]

oh hell Bedsoe is hurt

[dragon_mikal]

Oh hell Bledsoe banged up...NOOOOOO!

[The30YardSlant]

Bledsoe hurt.... :banghead:

[Dallas4ever]

We gotta gift.

[Eskimo]

Tucker got away with a hold there.

[RedLine]

The lions are still getting a early jump on the snap!

[dragon_mikal]

We gotta gift.

This whole drive has been a gift. Bledsoe looking sloppy.

[Jammer]

If I was a Lion's fan I think I'd be pretty upset with the refs today.

[Westcoasthabsfan]

Another penalty to prolong this drive.... the gods are smiling on us today

[LaTunaNostra]

We gotta gift.
Thanks to TG's good acting ;)

[RoyWilliams31]

we deserve some gifts last game we got none

[Jimz31]

Over-reaction city....Vick hurt...back in game. Bledsoe hurt....never came out.

[Eskimo]

Big play here on 3rd and 4.

Wouldn't mind running a draw here. Lions DL aggressive.

[BigDFan5]

1st down Keyshawn!

[RedLine]

The lions big guys are looking a little tired.

[Silverstar]

Wearing their defense down...looking good.


2nd half should be a breeze running the ball

[Cbz40]

Good play Key...now score

[RedLine]

Taunting?

[Jimz31]

The lions big guys are looking a little tired.
They should be...they've already been on the field for quite a while.

[Dallas4ever]

Where the heck is JJ.
