Cowboys Vs Lions ***Game Thread***

[30yrheel]

Do we go deep early in this offense anymore??

no blocking to go deep

[Canadian BoyzFan]

Big catch there.

[jobberone]

i don't know how you guys can even watch this game. i will watch the cowboys play bad when they are a bad team. or watch them play well when they are a good team. but i can't watch a team with this much talent get pushed around at home all year long. it's a disgrace . i still hope they win but i won't put myself a bad mood on new years eve watching it.

Ok. Thanks for sharing.

Great catch with one hand by TO

[BadKarma]

Nice 1-handed catch by Owens for 1st Down.

[DALLAS D]

finally a catch..how bout owens just uses one hand from now on. seems two hands is too much for him to concentrate on:lmao:

[Clove]

When he catches it he's dangerous

3 Wides 1st down

Romo HO Jones diving behind LG for 3.

[lyrclcipha12]

terrible throw romo. great catch TO

[JJHLH1]

TO makes a catch like that with one hand?

[Bryan8284]

On the bright side, our stress levels will decline after next week at this rate.

[Tripod]

TO made nice catch on bad Romo pass...comments anyone?

[Clove]

2nd and 8

I formation motion Witten

Romo back pass short skips off the ground Romo down, and a flag is down for Roughing the passer.

[Avery]

A flag?

On Detroit?

Huh?

[The30YardSlant]

Finally, that's about the 3rd time they've done that

[Wr3ckin_Cr3w]

we're gonna win this no doubt...just a bad 1st qtr..maybe half

[Achozen]

dang, right in the mug!

[Bryan8284]

Hopefully this rests up the defense. Too many short fields so far.

[CarlAllDay]

its rediculous parcells really needs to start calling these theifs out.

They are stealing top dollar from our team and they are not producing.

I bet a young bill parcells would've have called flozell, roy williams, rivera, bradie james, anthony henry, out.

and he would have been cut keith davis (our best special team player and we stink on special teams) drew bledsoft, and many others.

You're talking about a guy who cut hugh douglas after he had 10 sacks!!

but we keep these scrubs, come on bill get it together

[Da Hammer]

1st and Goal!!!!

[BadKarma]

1st and 10, on the 16....Julius runs for 9

[Clove]

1st and 10


2 TE set

HO JOnes huge hole down to the 6 for near a 1st down and Jones is getting up slowly.

[Canadian BoyzFan]

Need 7 here.

[Parche]

You cant blame TO while hes on the field!!! Go TO!!! Go Cowboys!!!

[cowboys4life]

ok time to play now...

[DALLAS D]

hey julius jones found a hole. :laugh2:

[Achozen]

Hoyte totally wiffed on that play...

[Avery]

Barber time.

[speedkilz88]

It was behnd the left foot. Great catch.It was elevated you joker. That one wasn't touching.

[Bryan8284]

I miss 2004 Julius.

[Clove]

1st and goal

HO JJ coming right stacked up near the 2, and Barber comes in.

[Canadian BoyzFan]

Barber time

[Da Hammer]

Here comes barber!!!

[The30YardSlant]

It was elevated you joker. That one wasn't touching.

Yup :mad:

[BlueStar22]

Please! Pass On This Play!!!

[BadKarma]

Barber in on 2nd and gola at the 3....

[CarlAllDay]

great toughness by jones for staying in and running hard after getting nicked up

[Clove]

Play Action please!

2nd and goal

3 WR set:

Romo HO Barber hit and down at the 1ish.

[burmafrd]

Romo is looking less and less like the guy for us.

[Tenkamenin]

Now we're in a predictable passing down!

[muldune13]

Play Action down??

[DALLAS D]

how bout we throw the ball?

[Westcoasthabsfan]

How bout Play Action?

[BadKarma]

Barber runs off left tackle...short by 1 yard...3rd and goal at the 1.

[Bryan8284]

No field goals

[kingwhicker]

Dallas should sign Dan Ruettiger to play LB

Rudy? Well, at least he has heart.

[Wr3ckin_Cr3w]

Touchdown!

[Clove]

3rd and goal

Bunch formation

Romo HO Barber bang TOUCHDOWNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! COWBOYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!: :cheers: :grouphug: :beer2: :grouphug: :cheers: :beer2: :beer1: :shake: :money: :flagwave: :money: :grouphug: :cheers: :beer2: :a-team: :disseags: :mchammer: :spidey:

[Da Hammer]

TD Barber!!!! WE ARE ALIVE OMG!!!!!!!!!

[Westcoasthabsfan]

Bout Time.....

[Bryan8284]

Kid has a nose for the end zone.

Hopefully this gets their heads on straight.

[DALLAS D]

MB III "THE CLOSER":bow:. thank you

[CarlAllDay]

well i guess the "BARBER SHOP" is back in business!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BadKarma]

Barber between right guard and tackle...TD!!!

[vlad]

Romo's developed that same urgency Bledsoe felt back there, you've got no shot at having a pocket, our line is awful

[The30YardSlant]

You guys need to wake up. That's how you play football. 3 times right up the gut inside the 5. If you don't score, you don't deserve it.

[EPL0c0]

Why doesn't Bill show any emotion like he did against the Giants???


He could help the team by pumping a fist

[wxcpo]

Touchdown Barber. We're back in this thing. Time to hold the Lions to a 3 and out.

[Canadian BoyzFan]

Time for some Defense.

[D-BOI99]

Good effort barber!Atleast he has some heart.

[CarlAllDay]

well i guess the "BARBER SHOP" is back in business!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Achozen]

yay Marion!

[burmafrd]

course as soon as I say that...

[Sarge]

YES - were goin' all the way baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Cbz40]

OK D...You awake yet????????

[Clove]

Kickoff run back to near the 20

[Bryan8284]

Need the defense to tighten up and get their heads out of their behinds.

[theogt]

YES - were goin' all the way baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LMAO!

[McCordsville Cowboy]

Nice catch but even better speed running by a 4.4 linebacker in Ernie Simms..

[MetalHead]

Good hustle Hurd.
We are back in a game we should be dominating.

[lurkercowboy]

Clove is showing a little excitement.

[EGG]

YES - were goin' all the way baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


lol,,, I'll settle for a sign of life out of this Defense,

[CarlAllDay]

No excuses defense you had plenty of rest including the changing of the quater to come out and play.

Well one thing we got going for us is that they dont have a huge return and personal foul to start them in feild goal range

[Cbz40]

Let's do something new......how about a 3 & out

[kycowboyfan]

I wonder how many 3 and outs has this team had since Thanksgiving?

[Clove]

1st and 10

Kitna play action, no pressure, fade sideline out of bounds incomplete.

[Woods]

Let's finally get a turnover here!!!!

[Bryan8284]

Wow, no pressure at all. What a disgrace

[Sarge]

nice pressure

[Cbz40]

I wonder how many 3 and outs has this team had since Thanksgiving?

4................:D

[Bryan8284]

I see Petitti is playing for NO today since they have backups in.

[BlueStar22]

Petiti Sighting!

[cowboys19]

i see the 4-3 again

[Clove]

2nd and 10

3 Wides

Kitna late pressure, dumps underneath, hit hard for 5 flag *face mask 5 yarder 1st down*

[jobberone]

Left end was in grab and contain mode.

Somebody explain to me why they all can't rush the passher. Kitna is not a big threat to run.

[sjordan6]

you know there is a game thread to post on

[Bryan8284]

I was just flipping games and a CB rocked a WR when the ball went high, no flag.

[Cbz40]

There went the 3 & out.....6 & out?

[Dave_in-NC]

Any body besides me surprised that wasn't a fifteen yarder?

[speedkilz88]

To be fair, the defense has been playing on their side of the field on every possession until now. That penalty at the beginning was a 10 point swing.

[Clove]

11:00 remaining 2nd qtr

1st and 10

Kitna 3 Wides

Kitna pump fake, Draw Cason 10 yds maybe 9.

[MetalHead]

I see Petitti is playing for NO today since they have backups in.
Was he giving up a sack?

[The30YardSlant]

, Fergy gets blocked in the back to open the hole and no call?

[BlueStar22]

missed tackles

[wxcpo]

We have given the Lions more chances today. They aren't earning crap. The Cowboys and the refs have helped them down field all game.

[Bryan8284]

No 4-3, nickel again. 2 LBs

[Deputy493]

Cason, you can't stop him you can only hope to contain him

[Clove]

(2nd and 1)

I right, motion 3 Wides

Kitna HO Cason easy 1st down and gets 5 yds.

[Achozen]

Cason is a beast

[CarlAllDay]

our pass rush is being handled by the worst o-line in football (statistically, we are really the worse though)

Avieon cason runs through 3 defenders, and drags ferguson simply beautiful

[Bryan8284]

Ferg got carried by a RB.

[cowboys19]

No 4-3, nickel again. 2 LBs

no it was a 4-3 i saw 3 linebackers, they have done it like 5 times so far today

[jordan20]

our defense is brutal!

[Clove]

1st and 10

Dallas in a 4 man front

Kitna motion, false start.

[The30YardSlant]

What? A call on the Lions offense? Conspiracy?

[MetalHead]

This is the worse defense since the 2000 joke.

[Bryan8284]

Nice hands Patrick

Wish Roy had them

[BadKarma]

Watkins interception at the 20 and brings it back to almost the 40.

[The30YardSlant]

Watkins!!!!!!

[Achozen]

Watkins!!!

[Wr3ckin_Cr3w]

woo hoo interception

[Cbz40]

INT......................Roy....OOPS Flag........

[Canadian BoyzFan]

Ballhawk!!!!!

[Da Hammer]

Yes!!!!!!!! Int Pat!!!

[Draegerman]

Very nice catch, Watkins.

[Dave_in-NC]

Flag, go figure

[Clove]

1st and 15

Kitna back deep pass, interception Watkins, shakes and bakes, coming right to the 40 yd line. Nice return.. Flag *no foul on the play*

[Woods]

Watkins interception at the 20 and brings it back to almost the 40.

YHEA!!!!

[lyrclcipha12]

finally a db who can catch

[JJHLH1]

Watkins with the nice INT.

[CarlAllDay]

great play watkins god damn its about time jeez

[Cbz40]

INT stands........

[Sarge]

BRING IT - WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

All the way to Miama baby

[wxcpo]

A safety with an INT. Wow maybe these guys are starting to wake up.

[Bryan8284]

Well Furrey pushed Roy over, using the earlier logic, shouldn't that be a penalty since Roy had his back to the play?

Ha

[Avery]

Poor decision by Kitna to throw into triple coverage.

[The30YardSlant]

OMG our secondary sucks this team is awful we have no shot blah blah blah

You morons done yet? :rolleyes:

[marchetta]

Watkins caught some air on that play!

[Frozen700]

Watkins!!!!!=best safety in the league!!!!!!!

[SaMaD_KhARoME]

nice play kid

[Dave_in-NC]

BRING IT - WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

All the way to Miama baby

Party pooper;)

[MetalHead]

I see someone's been watching film on how to play center field.

[stealth]

1st quarter over

what a disgrace...just a disgrace

Parcells should resign after this game...he's pathetic...how can you coach a team to play this way

David

everyone knows how you feel already stop posting the same tripe over and over and over, its tired.

[Avery]

Well Furrey pushed Roy over, using the earlier logic, shouldn't that be a penalty since Roy had his back to the play?

Ha

Technically, it was a block in the back since Watkins had the ball.

So yes, it would make sense.

[Frozen700]

OMG our secondary sucks this team is awful we have no shot blah blah blah

You morons done yet? :rolleyes:


lol i kno!!!

[slogriff]

could we please try TG deep

[Draegerman]

OMG our secondary sucks this team is awful we have no shot blah blah blah

You morons done yet? :rolleyes:

Not if it's going to continue to bother you if we keep it up. :D

[Bryan8284]

Just keep the momentum on our side, long drive, score.

Get your head on straight.

Maybe figure something out for next week?

[Mr Cowboy]

Nice play by Gumby

[lyrclcipha12]

OMG our secondary sucks this team is awful we have no shot blah blah blah

You morons done yet? :rolleyes:

dude its still the lions. we've still been terrible. you're seriously not bothered by the fact that we have been dominated by the worst team in football?

[Jake0]

, I've been waiting forever for Watkins to get a jumpball INT, it's about time.

[Achozen]

lets take a shot deep on first down!

[Woods]

Let's do a flea flicker now.

[marchetta]

everyone knows how you feel already stop posting the same tripe over and over and over, its tired.

Cosign!

[Sarge]

everyone knows how you feel already stop posting the same tripe over and over and over, its tired.

but...........he's right.

[The30YardSlant]

Poor decision by Kitna to throw into triple coverage.

God forbid that it be great coverage

[Avery]

OT - I'm never buying a Chevy because of this stupid, unending commercial.

[Mattsdad]

Its nice to see one of our defensive guys say "The Ball is MINE!!"

[Bryan8284]

Colombo man handled his man with a hold

[Clove]

1st and 10 Dallas

I formation

Romo play action scrambles right hit Owens for 7 but *flag on Columbo for holding*

[marchetta]

Romo is under pressure before he even sets up!

[Clove]

1st and 20

3 Wides

Romo draw Jones hit immediately maybe 1.

[CarlAllDay]

come on guys he made a good play on a badly overthrown ball, im happy too but the sad thing is that...that int is gonna get pat some more playing time.

we need a vet in there at fs for the playoffs. Hassleback is gonna eat watkins for lunch man its gonna be ugly

[Deputy493]

Gee, never saw that draw coming

[Bryan8284]

I miss good OLs

[Oh_Canada]

Not really sure why Watkins has been the target of Parcells wrath, to me he was a young kid who obviously will struggle some. However there are other vets who need to be benched before Watkins.

[Da Hammer]

wow that was a tight pass!!!

[Clove]

2nd and 19

Romo back quick pass Glenn 14 yd gain.

[Avery]

Please tell me I'm not the only one who hears the whistle blowing yet the Lions piling on someone.

[The30YardSlant]

What a throw, fit it right in there

[Bryan8284]

Adams and Rivera need to be dragged into the street and shot, just for starters.

[vlad]

my two year broken-record: "I HATE this offensive line!"

[Clove]

3 Wides on 3rd and 5

Romo back aviods a sacke, scoops to Witten and like magic, 1st down.

[Da Hammer]

ROMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What A PLAY!!!!!

[Achozen]

nice Romo!

[Dave_in-NC]

LOL nice

[Wr3ckin_Cr3w]

damn look at romo breaking all those tackles..he should of ran with it

[Bryan8284]

It's nice to see Romo able to create, but he shouldn't have to, really.

[BadKarma]

Now that Romo play was awesome...that was a Brett Favre move.

[The30YardSlant]

What a play!!!!

[Clove]

Romo juked 93 out of his boots

1st and 10

I formation Romo HO JOnes up the middle for 2.

[Draegerman]

That play was pure brilliance by Romo.

[Dave_in-NC]

Romo DOES need to run more.

[CarlAllDay]

our line sucks soo much, but tony is a very good one

[Da Hammer]

Witten!!!

[Kobal]

my two year broken-record: "I HATE this offensive line!"

:bow:

[Clove]

2nd and 8

2 TE set

Romo play faacke pass Witten crossing caught and down at the 21 for a 23 yard gain.

[Sarge]

rock on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BadKarma]

Romo looks like he's starting to get into a rhythm.

[CarlAllDay]

this is owens time we have to go to T.O he can not be covered seriously.

[The30YardSlant]

Man, Romo decided to show up

[Bryan8284]

On the bright side, we don't have to think about a TE for next year. WR maybe, no TEs.

[Achozen]

Wow Witten with a nice run after the catch, haven't seen that in a while.

[jordan20]

this just in J Jones has zero vision

[Dave_in-NC]

Eh, only took us a quarter and a half to settle in I guess

[Clove]

1st and 10

Romo quick screen Owens caught for 5 , great catch. Wow!

[vlad]

For the love put Marion in...I just want to see what he can do

[EGG]

Man,,, every time i see a holding penalty on us I hit the ceiling. are they kidding me? they NEVER call holding anymore, at least they don't call it on the Cowboys' opponents.

[Canadian BoyzFan]

Bly out a play...go deep.

[CarlAllDay]

Slant to T.O everytime it makes up for no run game

[Bryan8284]

Looks like the team has calmed down some at least.

Need the OL to take over a bit, wear them down. Need JJ to churn some yards.

[Clove]

2nd and 5

Tony 8/11 77 yds

Romo back quick pass, Owens 1st down , and down at the 7.

[Bryan8284]

I hope McQuistan sees the field today.

[Sarge]

If you give Romo time, he'll destroy you...........big 'if' though.

[Achozen]

That's how he should be used every game.

[Clove]

1st and goal

I formation

HO Jones tripped up for 1.

[Bryan8284]

Julius straight ahead, into a pile.

Idiot

[slogriff]

man i hate JJ running right now

[Sarge]

Julius??????????

[lyrclcipha12]

why does JJ touch the ball anywhere in thr redzone? ever?

[Avery]

I know we're moving the ball and finally looking like a NFL team, but we can't afford to give up leads like this, especially in the playoffs.

And when did JJ lose all vision?

[Achozen]

JJ is useless in the redzone.

[MetalHead]

Can JJ avoid the pile for once?

[Oh_Canada]

Does JJ actually look for piles to dive into?

[Parche]

Do I need to say that TO is our best offensive player??? ****, just give him the damn ball!!!

[The30YardSlant]

Bad throw, Glenn was open

[Mr Cowboy]

Julius reminds me of our blitzers.......he runs right into a defender every time

[Clove]

2nd and goal

2 TE set 1 WR

play action Romo pumps pumps flung it to Glenn behind him incomplete.

[Wr3ckin_Cr3w]

romo could of ran that in for a touchdown..he has the speed for it

[CarlAllDay]

thats why he is the man he makes something out of nothing from short passes.

We have to use our threats. who else you know takes 4 yard slants and turn them into 20 yard completions

[kycowboyfan]

what's the difference between Jones and Barber?

barber is a pile driver and joes is a pile diver

[Draegerman]

It was because of these great plays like the one Romo just made as to why our offensive line wasn't getting criticised like they were when Bledsoe was at the helm. They're still bad...but only Romo makes them look better. ;)

[rwalters31]

The pass rush still needs help!:(

[romo4pres]

lets not annoint romo again..if he doesnt look good against the lions he needs to be benched..lol

[Clove]

3rd and goal

Romo quikc pass Crayton , caught pushes 3rd and goal



Bunch formation



Romo HO Barber bang TOUCHDOWNNNNN! COWBOYS!!

[BadKarma]

TD Patrick...reaches over after the catch!

[CarlAllDay]

great extra effort by crayton

[vlad]

I love how Fox is pushing the Julius vs Marion controversy....

[Bryan8284]

Nice hard work

[Wr3ckin_Cr3w]

CRAYTON!!! good thinking to cross the goaline

[Canadian BoyzFan]

Some fire...some effort. Nice play to get that over by Crayton.

[Clove]

Dallas 14 Detroit 13

[lyrclcipha12]

crayton is the best and smartest receiver on this team.

[kycowboyfan]

what's the difference between Jones and Barber?

barber is a pile driver and jones is a pile diver

[Sarge]

NFC East Champions!!!!!

[MetalHead]

Nice effort Crayton.Good play

[marchetta]

Like Ronde Barber said, we come at you in waves. Detroit is drowning in our wake.

[Achozen]

nice second effort Crayton!

[Bryan8284]

Nice effort for Crayton. Hopefully they slowly piece it together today.

[wxcpo]

Way to stretch that ball across by Crayton.

[The30YardSlant]

Romo just said screw it, everyone hop on my back

[D-BOI99]

Way to go p. crayton!!!!

[Cbz40]

Way to stretch & reach for the TD...Crayton. GOOD JOB.

[BlueStar22]

The force is back in balance in Cowboysland

[JJHLH1]

That's my Boys!

[Bryan8284]

Hopefully they throw the first quarter away and don't look back. Can't have a quarter like that next week or it's a short run.

[Frozen700]

crayton is the best and smartest receiver on this team.


hell yea!

[Avery]

I love how Fox is pushing the Julius vs Marion controversy....

Anyone that has been watching Dallas this year will tell you that Marion is a better RB bar none.

JJ has depreciated greatly since his rookie season. Why does he run straight into the pile? Stay on your feet kid, you're not a pile mover.

[EGG]

does anyone else think that the Cowboys feel obligated to give Julius touches inside the 10yd line to appease him? why the heck is he in there? Barber should be in there every snap once they're inside the 10.

oh yeah, Touchdown!!! yay!!!!! :p:

[CarlAllDay]

I hope McQuistan sees the field today.

couldn't agree with you more

just imagine what a grant winstrom is gonna do to flozell, or a blitzing julian peterson.....oh my god i think im gonna have nightmares tonight

[Cbz40]

Excellent drive.......3 3rd down conversions & 7

[The30YardSlant]

Team is struggling, penalties, calls not going our way, defense playing subpar, and Romo just said "Screw it, everyone hop on my back and I'll bring it home".

The guy has guts and leadership qualities we havent seen here in a long time

[30yrheel]

Romo just said screw it, everyone hop on my back

really. wish we could run the ball though. so tired of watching jj plow into piles.

[marchetta]

I hope McQuistan sees the field today.

Probably not active with all our additional D-linemen.

[Draegerman]

Romo has a drinking problem. ;)

[Clove]

Kickoff Dallas with 2:48 remaining ball received at the 2, Drummond right, Burnett gets him down near the 20, but holding on Detroit.

[Bryan8284]

Need to bury them like we should have from the start.

[Sarge]

really. wish we could run the ball though. so tired of watching jj plow into piles.

I just dont undersand it. he just runs straight into piles. I am so DONE with Julius.

[CarlAllDay]

am i the only one wanting roy to knock the S!!! out of eddie drumond??

[Avery]

Wouldn't mind the d stepping up so our offense can get a shot at a FG at least.

[Dave_in-NC]

I would like to see JJ get the ball twenty or twenty five times. Lets see if he picks it up as the defense wears down. Un popular I know

[Clove]

1st and 10 Detroit

Glymph in!

Kitna back, pressurek, sacked by Ware!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
