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

[FLCowboyFan]

I hate this....I have NFL Ticket and they don't start the 2nd half game until 3:15pm. Why not go strait to the game instead of showing hightlights? I'd love to see the pre-game

[Clove]

Hello my fellowers, good game, good win and cheers to an injury free game. Cardinals ball 1st.

[Rack Bauer]

I hate this....I have NFL Ticket and they don't start the 2nd half game until 3:15pm. Why not go strait to the game instead of showing hightlights? I'd love to see the pre-game

The game doesn't start till 3:15. Why go to the game if it hasn't started yet when they can show the ends of other games?

[BlueStar22]

it'll be a tough game but it's a must win since we gave one away last week and have the Colts next week. I hear the Cards had a players only meeting but the guy that covers them said they've had one for the last 17 years....

Go Boys.

[vlad]

in white baby! let's get this thing righted!

[BlueStar22]

who the hell is this broadcast team?

[DallasDomination]

man I'm Stressing over here!..CAnt even see the game but I'm here.

Lets go BOYS!.

[Clove]

Let the Sam Hurd era begin.

[Bob Sacamano]

Hello my fellowers, good game, good win and cheers to an injury free game. Cardinals ball 1st.

I need for you to be on top of your game, we don't have it televised in MD, and I'm not going to watch the snooze-fest that will be NO/Pitt

[kmp77]

Who are these announcers?

[Rack Bauer]

who the hell is this broadcast team?

Who cares? As long as it's not Aikman and Buck.

[LaTunaNostra]

Ok Boys, let's see some heads-up pure handling of these jokers.

[Clove]

Vandy kick to the 12 return to the 32

[ajk23az]

what the world, you hear carpenters name on the first play!!!

[DallasDomination]

Who cares? As long as it's not Aikman and Buck.
Aikman+ Buck = DAllas Automatic loss:banghead:

[Clove]

1st and 10 - Leinart HO James for 3.

[big dog cowboy]

Time to kick but.

[TX_Yid]

There goes another one, seems like whoever we play gets to start at the 30 yard line at least against us with Vanderjagt's short kick offs. How much is that hurting us?

[big dog cowboy]

Aikman+ Buck = DAllas Automatic loss:banghead:
:hammer:

[Clove]

2nd and 8 - Leinart back to pass loft to James for 7.

[ManofSteel2331]

hmm defense still not covering the running back?

[Bob Sacamano]

There goes another one, seems like whoever we play gets to start at the 30 yard line at least against us with Vanderjagt's short kick offs. How much is that hurting us?

it hasn't hurt us all year yet

[big dog cowboy]

nice stop!!!!!!!!!

[Clove]

3rd and 1:

Leinart changes play:

Leinart ho run up the middle for NADA!!

[BlueStar22]

This is a home game...hear the crowd?

[ajk23az]

ran right into the defense, wow haha

[Draegerman]

Nice stop on 3rd down.

[Bob Sacamano]

they're softening up the middle, throw checkdowns, and outs, have the Cowboys concentrate on it, then exploit the middle

[CowboyManDan]

Nice play by Canty...we need more from him this half of the season.

[Clove]

Cardinals wanting to go for it, asking for a measurment.

[Jimz31]

Nice stop defense.

[DallasDomination]

Are they going for it?

[Cbz40]

Looks like they're going for it.

[Bob Sacamano]

a team w/ nothing to lose usually does

[Jammer]

1-7 team, what do they have to lose?

[Clove]

4th and 8 inches, going for it:

Leinart 3 wr set:

Leinart Sneak, first down.

[Draegerman]

He got it but I question Green's decision to go for it.

[LaTunaNostra]

That was 99.9 percent desperation...and .1 confidence

[thekavorka]

these cardinal receivers are going to scare me all game

[Clove]

1st and 10:

Leinart I formation:

Leinart play fake deep pass, dropped and Henry was there but looked over the wrong shoulder.

[DallasDomination]

They have good Field position....Did Vandy Shank it?..

[ajk23az]

wow henrys at it again.....

[Clove]

2nd and 10:

False start 74

[thekavorka]

yes! a penalty not committed by the cowboys. it's been a while since i've seen one of those

[Jimz31]

They have good Field position....Did Vandy Shank it?..

No, it was a typical kick off for him.

[DallasDomination]

[Bob Sacamano]

Jimz, your sig is killing me

[Clove]

2nd and 15:

3 WR set:

Shotgun:

Leinart back, over thrown out of bounds, pressure from the left side.

[Draegerman]

They have good Field position....Did Vandy Shank it?..

He kicked off for 59 yds with a 22 yd return.

[Rack Bauer]

Now THAT was good pressure on the QB. If we do that consistently, we'll be ok.

[DallasDomination]

yes! a penalty not committed by the cowboys. it's been a while since i've seen one of those
Say what?...I call BS:lmao:

[Bob Sacamano]

pressure from the left side.

:eek: :eek: :eek:

[Clove]

3rd and 15:

3 WR shotgun:

Leinart scrambles, 2 yards short of the 1st down.

[DallasDomination]

Tell me they are not going for it...

[Clove]

4th and 2:

Punt Snap fumbled, fielded by Crayton, runs for 19 yards.

[Draegerman]

Nice return by Crayton

[Cbz40]

OK Tony lets move it.

[Jammer]

Good return.

[Bob Sacamano]

Nice return by Crayton

:eek: :eek: :eek:

these Cowboys are suprising the hell out of me

[DallasDomination]

Romo Time!:bow:

[Rack Bauer]

If the cards keep covering punts like that all day Newman will score a TD (when he gets a return).

[Clove]

NO score in the 1st QTR:

1st and 10 Dallas ball:

Romo play fake pass to Owens, DROPPED!

[PBJTime]

Here we go again...

[Rack Bauer]

TO ...


This guy...


I have no words...

[Bob Sacamano]

NO score in the 1st QTR:

1st and 10 Dallas ball:

Romo play fake pass to Owens, DROPPED!

:bang2: wow, didn't take long for TO to go bad on his promise

what was the potential gain?

[stealth]

good old stone hands TO dropping em early

[DefendeR]

Another TO drop.

[Draegerman]

T.O.'s in good form so far. :D

[FLCowboyFan]

dropped the dang ball!!! Geez TO

[Clove]

2nd and 10 Dallas:

Romo play action pass to Witten gets 5 or 6.

[Rack Bauer]

I swear, Witten couldn't make ME miss.

[PBJTime]

Romo doing what he does. :)

[ajk23az]

To cant shut up the critics that way!

[The30YardSlant]

:bang2: wow, didn't take long for TO to go bad on his promise

what was the potential gain?

About 6 feet

[Jimz31]

OVERRATED. Bust of a move by picking the drop master up.

[kmp77]

%#@! TO! And can witten juke ANYONE?

[DallasDomination]

T.O what's up man!...Catch the ball.

[Clove]

Potential gain was 5 or more:

3rd and 5:

Romo back pressured quick pass knocked down by the defender.

[thekavorka]

*sigh*

[Hostile]

We look flat.

[Bob Sacamano]

Jimz, for the love of God!! your sig is too wide

[The30YardSlant]

Where's the late hit on TO?

[Rack Bauer]

Why didn't we run the ball AT ALL on that drive?


Anyone? Anyone?

[DefendeR]

3 and out...here we go.

[Clove]

McBriar punt high deep and gang tackled for nearly nothing inside the 20.

[stealth]

I swear, Witten couldn't make ME miss.


he plays way too stiff for my liking

[Bob Sacamano]

guys, chill

[ManofSteel2331]

anyone think miles austin looks tiny?

[The30YardSlant]

Why didn't we run the ball AT ALL on that drive?


Anyone? Anyone?

You people complain when we run, and you complain when we don't

[DallasDomination]

We'll be ok..

[Jammer]

That was a very dissapointing drive by the Cowboys.

[Clove]

Why didn't we run the ball AT ALL on that drive?


Anyone? Anyone?Your guess is as good as mine. We could've run it atleast once.

[LaTunaNostra]

Why didn't we run the ball AT ALL on that drive?


Anyone? Anyone?

I know Rack I know - like it isn't JJ and MBIII who have to win this one for us.

[Bob Sacamano]

That was a very dissapointing drive by the Cowboys.

1st series, calm down

[Cbz40]

Good start TO..............:(

[BlueStar22]

he plays way too stiff for my liking

he's a white dude.:laugh2:

[CanadianCowboysFan]

It was a terrible pass but he should have caught it.

[The30YardSlant]

he plays way too stiff for my liking

He's a 6'5", 260 pound white guy playing tight end. What do you expect?

[SultanOfSix]

Why do we go to three straight pass plays?

Can we mix it up a little bit?

[Bob Sacamano]

at least WItten catches 'em

[BlueStar22]

not panicing yet.

[Jimz31]

Jimz, for the love of God!! your sig is too wide

There....it's fixed.

[Rack Bauer]

I know Rack I know - like it isn't JJ and MBIII who have to win this one for us.

I know. I'd rather see JuJo or MBIII run for 2-3 yards then to see TO drop another pass.

[Clove]

1st and 10 Cardinals on their own 18:

Leinart HO up the middle brought down after 8.

[Bob Sacamano]

[Clove]

1st and 10:

Leinart changes play 3 WR set:

Leinart quick drop caught for 5.

[DallasDomination]

Oh oh....Get a stop D.

[Jimz31]

We should have been running the ball....our so-called #1 WR can't make a catch.

[jordan20]

that was the cards longest run of the year!!!!! 14 yards

[FLCowboyFan]

This team is frustrating :bang2: Our top receiver can't catch, and our Big D that is supposed to stuff the run, let's them pick up 8

[Clove]

2nd and 5:

[The30YardSlant]

WARE!!! :bow:

[stealth]

[Clove]

3rd and 4:

[LaTunaNostra]

[Clove]

Newman back to field punt scampers to the 29 on a 9 yard return.

[Draegerman]

[Bob Sacamano]

[jgboys1]

Lets get some running going!!

[DoomsDayD]

Who knows maybe TO will make a grab this series of downs.

[FLCowboyFan]

Ok, come on Romo.....hold on to the ball TO.....man I'm stressed :D

[DallasDomination]

Ok Lets get the chains moving...JJ get us some yards baby.

[LaTunaNostra]

Newman back to field punt scampers to the 29 on a 9 yard return.

You're a pro, Clove...'scampers' :)

[The30YardSlant]

There's 7 minutes left in the first quarter of a scoreless game and you people are acting like we are getting blown out in the NFC Title game.

[Draegerman]

Well, with a Cincy loss, I have flat-out sucked today on our pick'em game. ;)

[jgboys1]

A good dose of JJ and MB!

[Rampage]

There's 7 minutes left in the first quarter of a scoreless game and you people are acting like we are getting blown out in the NFC Title game.
how bout them paper-champs the longhorns?

[Jimz31]

Sorry guys...I wasn't aware that the sig was showing too long on your screens because it isn't doing that on my screen.

[Bob Sacamano]

NFL.com lists the FF as a sack

[FLCowboyFan]

There's 7 minutes left in the first quarter of a scoreless game and you people are acting like we are getting blown out in the NFC Title game.

[Clove]

3rd and 8:

shotgun Romo:

Romo pump fake, toss to Witten for 12 and a 1st down.

[The30YardSlant]

Nice pitch and catch

[Draegerman]

[DallasDomination]

[Bob Sacamano]

1st and 10:

Romo 3 WR set:

HO Jones maybe 1 or 2.

[LaTunaNostra]

empty backfield:

Romo no pressure fires it to Crayton hit tackled fumbled, Jones recovered for a 1st down.

[Woods]

Owens might want to consider a career in juggling if this football thing doesn't work out. ;)

For some reason, I don't remember TO having hands of stone at SF.

I know he used to (does) "alligator" catch passes (i.e., Roy Williams), but I thought his hands were consistent for the most part.

[Rampage]

thank god for jones

[Draegerman]

Can't be doing that, Crayton.

[LaTunaNostra]

Quick thinking and moving JJ!~

[Jammer]

A big break.

[Clove]

1st and 10:

2 TE set:

Pitch right to JOnes 1 or 2 yards.

[Bob Sacamano]

For some reason, I don't remember TO having hands of stone at SF.

I know he used to (does) "alligator" catch passes (i.e., Roy Williams), but I thought his hands were consistent for the most part.

I don't remember him ever being this shaky before either

[The30YardSlant]

Damn, TO was wide open

[Clove]

2nd and 8:

Romo play fake, no pressure Owens opened way over thrown.

[Rampage]

owens got scared

[Draegerman]

For some reason, I don't remember TO having hands of stone at SF.

I know he used to (does) "alligator" catch passes (i.e., Roy Williams), but I thought his hands were consistent for the most part.

Nope, he's always had a history of the "dropsies".

[DallasDomination]

How is Romo Looking?...Sounds like He's throwing alot.

[The30YardSlant]

Good throw

[Clove]

3rd and 8:

3 WR shotgun:

Romo changes play big time:

Romo back no pressure pass to Crayton caught for 11 and and 1st down.

[Canadian BoyzFan]

Crayon for 10. First down inside the 20.

[LaTunaNostra]

owens got scared

Alligator legs as well.

[Bob Sacamano]

How is Romo Looking?...Sounds like He's throwing alot.

he's rushing his throws and overthrowing it seems

and TO dropped another one

[Jimz31]

Yet ANOTHER 3rd down pick up by Romo!

[Jammer]

TO would have dropped it anyway. :)

[Clove]

1st and 10:

motion: Jones up the gut breaks tackles for 8 or 9.

[The30YardSlant]

What a block by Kosier

[Jimz31]

Romo has picked up 2 more 3rd and longs on this drive alone.

[sbark]

can i jinx and say no penalties

[Clove]

2nd and 2:

HO Jones dropped immediately.

[Bob Sacamano]

no gain, D'OH!

[DallasDomination]

Get MB3 in there!.

[Clove]

3rd and 2:

Barber in:

Romo playactioin throws it away, no one opened.

[The30YardSlant]

Damn, he could have run for that first

[Jimz31]

77 yards for 100 for JJ.

[Bob Sacamano]

c'mon highest-ranked red-zone TD scoring O

[Rampage]

Alligator legs as well.
:lmao2: so true

[Draegerman]

Romo could have gotten those 2 yds on his own.

[Canadian BoyzFan]

I thought he could have ran for the FD.

[Clove]

29 yard kick is good. Cowboys 3 Cardinals 0

[ajk23az]

barely good---upright got in the way a bit

[PBJTime]

BARELY good...jeez.

[The30YardSlant]

Vandy was about 6 inches from losing his job there

[Bob Sacamano]

;)

[BlueStar22]

;)

40? What world do you live in? I count at least 60 by now. ;)

[Cbz40]

I hate FGs........we need 7s

[LaTunaNostra]

Tony misses TG in the huddle, imo.

He's the only veteran skills player who's been here since Tony was, and he is not just a 'settling' influence, but feeds TR info.

[Jammer]

we should be up by 40 now!!

;)

At least!

[cowboys19]

Romo looks a little rusty

Must be Jessica:D

[Bob Sacamano]

[Cbz40]

Carpenter has been really active on the kickoffs so far..
