Cowboys Vs Lions ***Game Thread***

[Avery]

Sadly, the defense goes back on the field.

[theogt]

Well, that seals the deal. Terrell Owens will be a Cowboy next season.

[Boyzmamacita]

owens lil dance was classic:lmao2:
That was the HOKEY POKEY!

[jobberone]

I have no doubt the Lions will drive the length of the field now though.

I hope that was sarcasm. Let's at least cheer when they make some great plays and an incredibly improbable drive. JMO

[Bryan8284]

Come on defense!

[Sarge]

Bill Parcells for president!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Clove]

Kick off received at the 4, down at the 28.

[Dave_in-NC]

u see jerrys smile? u just know jerry loves him some TO

I would say some Romo.

[Nomad]

That had to be the weakest most uninspired touchdown dance I've ever seen, haha.

[EGG]

A 99 yard drive in 5 plays and it only took 3 minutes. That's pretty good.


unless you're a tired defensive player... hopefully the score will light a fire

[theogt]

did you guys notice how mb3 didn't pay T.O any mind when he came on the sideline to do his T.O celebration.

No high five,pound or nothing. A little troubling. these guys should be pumped about every score and should be ready to go again.Are you seriously trying to be negative about TO after that?

[kycowboyfan]

when the o-line gives a little time this team has got weapons

[Aikbach]

That penalty that negated the Roy Williams pick and touchdown will haunt this team in the end.

[jobberone]

Tackle by Parrish. What else has he done today? Where is he playing?

[Dave_in-NC]

Bill Parcells for president!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


:lmao2:

[Cbz40]

Now ......D........nevermind.

[Clove]

Owens with a funny Country type dance in the end zone.

1st and 10

Kitna play action, RB wide opened 8 or 9 yds.

[Bryan8284]

Not a good start there guys

[Deputy493]

oh what a shock a wide open RB over the middle!

[Achozen]

the rb will forever be open..

[Bob Dole]

Great drive - now watch the defense choke the game away.

[LaTunaNostra]

I would say some Romo.

That kid is something else, is he not? :)

[Clove]

2nd and 3

3 Wides

Quick hitch, 1st down Williams.

[Aikbach]

Les Miles and Mike Singletary are on-line looking up flights to Dallas as we speak.

[Oh_Canada]

corners ten yards off the ball....ho hum.

[Bryan8284]

That video board will be so insane. Haha

[Deputy493]

lol we miss more freakin sacks

[LatinMind]

OLE on carp

[Avery]

Kitna vs. Houdini.

Who ya' got?

[Clove]

1st and 10

pressure, Carpenter, pumpped got away from Carpenter and Ware, then throws the ball away.. Unreal.

[Cbz40]

Now that was pressure......

[Bryan8284]

Both of our LB futures in there with pressure

[Achozen]

freakin Bobby...what a bust

[wxcpo]

Wow Carpenter and Ware both miss an easy sack

[PB&J]

well...at least carp got there

[JJHLH1]

I have no faith in our defense to make a stop.

[Deputy493]

Lucky he dropped that

[Clove]

2nd and 10

Carpenter playing ball today!!

Kitna back, pressure, pass way off great coverage on the RB James. Incomplete.

[slogriff]

how in the H do you miss that sack

[Cbz40]

3rd & 10......stop em

[Bryan8284]

Another third down joke

[Deputy493]

[Aikbach]

"Great Albino Vulture"? This is how Sham refers to Carpenter.

[Clove]

One of the ends need to take an inside move this time

3rd and 10

Kitna, no pressure, , down the middle and cow roped but caught for a 1st down deep down the middle.

[Achozen]

why why why

[lyrclcipha12]

shocking. third and 10 and they conver. and on anthony henry no less.

[xplozno8]

UNBELIEVABLE!! why can't we stop them on 3rd down?

[Bryan8284]

No third down defense

[Deputy493]

we can stop nobody

[wxcpo]

Nice stick by our Williams there.

[Aikbach]

More ineptness. Fantastic.

[LatinMind]

go furrey go

[Clove]

1st and 10

Kitna, late pressurek, caught Furrey but another 1st down, no up the middle pressure at all.

[kingwhicker]

I have no faith in our defense to make a stop.

Well, you shouldn't.

[Bryan8284]

Defense just folds right back at them.

We can't stop the pass much as the Colts can't stop the run.

[Tenkamenin]

The defense has got to make a play!

[Bob Dole]

Great drive - now watch the defense choke the game away.


:bang2:

[kycowboyfan]

the defense is clueless

[CarlAllDay]

This drive tells me 2 things

1. that romo is good even with horrible protection
2. That T.O knows what he's talking about go to him and we will get results even if he averages one drop a game just throw him the ball.

He got the crucial first down play by staying with romo (helping his qb out baldy) and he caught the big play so critics can get off it.

[Deputy493]

I told you I had no doubt the Lions would drive the length, they have been on our side of the field the whole freakin game

[Mattsdad]

just an absolute lovey defense.

[Undisputed]

Only way we win this game is if we have the ball last. That simple.

[lyrclcipha12]

what the **** was that? how is anthony henry paid to do what he does...and roy williams again was no where near the ball. 11 catches for furrey, thats disgusting.

[wxcpo]

And the Lions are going to move the ball right down the field on us and regain the lead it appears. If they get a TD they will go for 2.

[JJB500]

Can anyone on this defense please make 1 play?

[Aikbach]

Dallas is goin to be crushed if Seattle shows up defensively.

[Oh_Canada]

The defense has got to make a play!

Good one.

[Avery]

The announcers even said they have no faith in our defense.

[Clove]

1st and 10

HO Cason, nothing, stacked up by Ferguson and company.

[jobberone]

You cannot stop people when that play in the middle of the field is wide open every down. That is demoralizing.

[kbman]

Roy Williams Owns Us

[Kangaroo]

If we win and make the playoffs it is moot point the defense will ensure we are 1 and done

[Aikbach]

Might as well let them score in hopes of having time to respond.

[Bryan8284]

Another easy touchdown.

[Clove]

2nd and 9

Kitnablitzed, no pressure, deep all alone Mike Williams touch down.

[BlueStar22]

i'm so frustrated. this team may bring a tear to my eye

[Deputy493]

even Mike Freakin Williams can score on this pathetic D!!!

[Avery]

A sad, pointless defense we have.

[LatinMind]

newman owned

[Sarge]

The announcers even said they have no faith in our defense.

so very sad...........

[big dog cowboy]

That one for Hos.

[Da Hammer]

Newman beat... WORST D EVER!!!!!!!!

[kingwhicker]

This defense is something that rhymes with hunt.

[Tripod]

and no challenges left..

[Achozen]

Wow Newmans been terrible today

[lyrclcipha12]

jon kitna just threw for FOUUUUUUUURRRR TOUCHDOWNS. FOUR. roy williams suck, terrance newman sucks, anthony henry sucks, aaron glenn sucks, and whoever our free safety is at the time sucks.

[Oh_Canada]

What a joke.

[Bryan8284]

No pressure no coverage

[LatinMind]

again i say newman keep your mouth shut

[Bob Dole]

Terrence Newman lets that fat piece of crap Mike Williams catch a TD on him.

Let's see Adam and the rest of the Newman jockers defend that one.

[Aikbach]

Well unfortunately I was correct, let us see if Dallas responds.

[Tenkamenin]

You'd a thunk that TD drive by our offense would've inspired our defense to stope the lions

[MetalHead]

They let Mike Williams score.
If that isn't the ultimate insult,then I don't know what is.

[Clove]

My man Newman was TOASTED!!!!!!!!!!

Going for 2

4 Wides
Kitna, fade, knocked down by Our Roy Williams incomplete.

[Dave_in-NC]

Tnew thought post:bang2:

[romo4pres]

Uh Oh Spaghettio!

[PB&J]

:bang2: :

[CactusCowboy]

This defense is something that rhymes with hunt.

Very professional. :rolleyes:

[wxcpo]

And our defense gives it right back. This is the Lions we are playing right? These guys are battling Oakland for the #1 pick in the draft correct? Wow they are looking like they are headed for the playoffs and not Dallas.

[Deputy493]

Given up 36 points to the pathetic Lions, let's let that sink in for awhile.............we may give up 75 to a good team next week.

[Avery]

Well, looks like it will take a TD to win this game.

Please get a defensive coach in here. That's all I want for next Christmas.

[Canadian BoyzFan]

Sounds like you want it to happen.:rolleyes:
Looks right to me.

[kbman]

Ok Newman lovers, he got burned!

[Frozen700]

Tnew thought post:bang2:



oooooo man

[Novacek84]

The ultimate embarrasment...a Mike (fat a--) Williams TD. Good nite folks. I can't waste anymore breath on this team...

[Clove]

How about a little bump and run once in a while.

[Parche]

Is it too late to vote Kitna for the ProBowl???

And can we put TO on the defensive side of the ball too?

[JJHLH1]

It all comes down to Romo now.

[Joe_Fan]

Anyone still have any faith in our defense?

When we need a stand Zimmer dials up a choke.

[Deputy493]

Well unfortunately I was correct, let us see if Dallas responds.


well we have to score a TD and run all the time off the clock it would seem while doing it

[jobberone]

If we score here we should think about an onside kick unless there isn't enough time for Detroit to score again.

[Dave_in-NC]

Ok Newman lovers, he got burned!

Yup not the other ten guys.:lmao:

[ologan]

We better drag it out and score on the games last play,or they will do it again!

[Bryan8284]

This defense is a disgrace.

[Clove]

Nate jones takes the kick gets to the 19.

[Oh_Canada]

If BP has any ball he fires Zimmer tommorow and takes full responsibility for the defense.

[Deputy493]

Lions have scored a season high 36 points today!

[Achozen]

what happend to Elam?

[SacredStar]

We have just given Kitna.....a crappy QB with 17 tds and 21 int's for the year before coming to Dallas, a pro bowl day.


This defense is a complete joke.

[LatinMind]

say what u will, this has been an exciting game. lol

[Silverstar]

Why is Nate Jones returning kickoffs!!!!


:bang2:

[slogriff]

run up the field! let Austin have it

[EGG]

this just in, straght up blitzing without stunts or zone dogs doesn't work,,, and not blitzing doesn't work,,, hmmmmmmm, what to do? this is a real tough question.:rolleyes:

[munkee]

this is unbelievable. I can't believe the crowd is not booing every play.

[Bryan8284]

Our defense is worse than the Colts defense.

[marchetta]

Another "season high" that this team has given up. Someone posted that we hear this virtually every week.

[peplaw06]

I gotta question...

Do we need any more evidence that the new "celebration" unsportsmanlike conduct rules are targeted for certain players?

I know it is no consolation, and doesn't matter much in the grand scheme, but if that wasn't celebration among teammates, what is? Just cause it's Mike Williams and Mike Furrey, no flag?

[Jammer]

Another QB with 4 TD passes against the Cowboys' defense (if you want to call what they're putting on the field a defense).

[Clove]

Entertaining game no less. Too bad we should be owning them.


2 TE set

Romo play action, fumbled, , lions get the ball. We're done.

[kingwhicker]

Very professional. :rolleyes:

Yeah, especially considering the fact that I'm a highly paid, professional journalist.:rolleyes:

[Deputy493]

way to go Flo!!!!!

[Achozen]

Game Set Match

[Tenkamenin]

Unbelievable!!! Another Fumble!!!

[Bryan8284]

What a JOKE

[Avery]

Sorry, but Romo can't hold on to the ball.

[EGG]

Game Over

[tyke1doe]

Why not run the ball?!!?!?

[Aikbach]

Tada!

[marchetta]

Someone tell Romo that's not a basketball. You throw it not bounce it!

[MetalHead]

Well,we lost to the Lions.
Let the Firing begin.

[JJHLH1]

I really think we should forfeit our playoff game.

[CarlAllDay]

Thanks A Million Mr Romo

[Bryan8284]

Can we just forfeit next week? Save me three hours on the weekend?

[Cbz40]

Shall we discuss the draft...?

[Sarge]

ROMO sucks

[Clove]

Fasano our great 2nd round pick totally missed the blitz, made Romo scramble and Romo lost the ball.

1st and 10 , HO Cason 2 maybe 3.

[romo4pres]

Thats Yo Boy Romo! Wonderboy! Romomentum In The House Baby!!

[Deputy493]

Game Set Match


yeah to a two win freakin team!!!

[LatinMind]

lol fasano is famous for A** chewings

[Undisputed]

Parcells told Romo he needs to protect the ball better. So so true...

[tyke1doe]

LOL!

I know the Lions fans even when they win they can't win. Now they lose out in the Brady Quinn sweepstakes.

[Silverstar]

Guess we're going to Seattle.

[jobberone]

Well I guess we need to just think one play at a time.

[Tenkamenin]

Someone tell Romo that's not a basketball. You throw it not bounce it!


:laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2:

[marchetta]

BP covering his face. Yeah, this is embarrasing for us too BP.

[PBJTime]

Sorry, but Romo can't hold on to the ball.

Yeah, because he's dropped the ball all season... :rolleyes:

[kingwhicker]

43-31 Lol

[EGG]

Why not run the ball?!!?!?


you need an offensive line to do that,,, they've been trying

[kbman]

Ok Jerry make a statement, fire someone.

[wxcpo]

Well that about wraps up this one. Our season will only last one more game after today. This team is nowhere near ready to compete for a title yet. Too many problems to address in one offseason. We need offensive and defensive line, as well as secondary and WR help.

[Sarge]

Nice of Bill to be roaming the sideline with his hand in his pocket looking like a zombie------------friggin $#@wipe.

[Bryan8284]

In a second : Gave up FORTY to the Lions

[CarlAllDay]

Romo = mobile bledsoe

[Clove]

2nd and 8

Kitna pitch right, going rigiht, killed by Roy Williams for a gain of like 4ish.

[MetalHead]

So?...fire Parcells?

[SacredStar]

Once again, as all season long, turnovers are the final killer.

17 points to Detroit off turnovers.

[tsumma]

We suck plain and simple, Romo sucks plain and simple how clear is that.

[JJHLH1]

The last 3 home games have been the worst I've ever seen as a Cowboys fan.

[Clove]

Romo needs to take more sacks and stop trying to scramble up the middle.

3rd and 6

Harris up the middle close to the 1st, 2 yards short.

[Tenkamenin]

Lets block this one

[Bryan8284]

What a pathetic effort all around today.

Even on the good plays, far outweighed by the bad.

[Aikbach]

Season is over. It was an awful one for the 10th straight year as well.
Come on apocalypse. I guess dallas just needs to settle for playing the role of spoiler for other people rather than bothering with any post season ambitions for the near future. Pathetic.

[LatinMind]

well atleast its just a 8 point lead.

another bomb to owns i need the fantasy points

[Rampage]

romo is not our guy.

[kbman]

Bill looks perplexed

[Avery]

Lions will take the FG, go up 39-31.

We actually would still have a shot at winning.

It really doesn't matter to me now though.

Seattle could be a bloodbath next week.

[J-DOG]

1 and done in the playoffs...no doubt.

Even though I thought we had improved since our last playoff team.

We haven't.

The Saints gave the league the blue print to beat our defense and we still can not fix it because our personnel is limited. This beating your man one on one and no stunting is ridiculous in today's day and age in football.

The league has rules set in place to help the offense more than ever and being vanilla on defense and thinking that your talent will take over is naive.

[Bryan8284]

They won't even come close to a block.

[Hypnotoad]

if romo didn't wear his hat backwards like a punk this wouldnt happen

[PBJTime]

Romo = mobile bledsoe

It has nothing to do with the fact that they're putting every game squarely on his shoulders. We can't run the ball and he's getting chased around all over the place. And he's far from a Bledsoe.

[Clove]

3:02 remaining 4th qtr on 4th and 2.

Field goal chip shot, good!

Dallas 31 Detroit 39

[Bryan8284]

39 points to the Lions!

THIRTY NINE

[CarlAllDay]

i think i even like the giants chances better than ours

[JJHLH1]

Is there a worse team in December than the Cowboys over the past few years?

[Avery]

The Lions have scored 39 points.

Let that sink in for a second.

[Silverstar]

Be honest...did Romo REALLY lose this game or was it our pathetic defense.

[Sarge]

All we need is a quick 9 point touchdown and we're right back in it.

[Bryan8284]

Cowboys by far the worst NFC team in playoffs, most likely NFL.

The Jets suck, but would beat us today.

[Aikbach]

romo is not our guy.I feared as much when the Romo bandwagon began to tilt toward the absurd but I held my tongue and hoped to be wrong during the brief win-streak.

[CarlAllDay]

man i think the eagles game was better than this

[harkm]

romo is not our guy.

:confused: He has played 11 games. Lol!!

[Clove]

2:58 remaining kickoff coming! Please kick it to Austin this time and not Nate Jones..

[JJHLH1]

Can't believe I've spent an afternoon watching this pathetic play.

[The30YardSlant]

All we need is a quick 9 point touchdown and we're right back in it.

It's an 8 point game

[Bryan8284]

I bet we score and miss the 2 with little time.

[wxcpo]

I swear that Zimmer needs to be fired after this season is over. This defense is pathetic and it isn't simply because of the loss of Ellis.

[Undisputed]

Seems like every time someone makes a great play, they follow it up with a TERRIBLE one.

[peplaw06]

Turns out Roy Williams prediction was right... the Lions could score 40 points every week.... that they played the Cowboys

[Sarge]

Be honest...did Romo REALLY lose this game or was it our pathetic defense.

39 points..........are you kidding?

[kbman]

Is there a worse team in December than the Cowboys over the past few years?
No:eek:

[PB&J]

Romo needs to take more sacks and stop trying to scramble up the middle.


How bout we stop making our 1st year starting, undrafted FA QB win games for us.

[PBJTime]

Be honest...did Romo REALLY lose this game or was it our pathetic defense.

Romo has helped this team score 31 points. That should be plenty to win most games if we had some sort of defense.

[Avery]

I guess Brady Quinn better start buying some black shirts.

[Achozen]

they havent won on the road in a year :laugh2:

[Deputy493]

we still can not fix it because our personnel is limited.


But why is our personnel limited?

We have 1st round pick after 1st round pick, tons of FA money.....I mean why is our personnel on D so limited?

[cowboys4life]

Pathetic Defense

[Clove]

Austin at the 5, Austin out to the 35. Nice return

[Bryan8284]

Solid return Miles

Did his job today.

[SacredStar]

Seattle could be a bloodbath next week.

I believe Seattle gives the Cowboys their best chance to advance in the playoffs.

Any home for Dallas will be disastrous, they just play with more emotion on the road.

[Undisputed]

FOX just took the game off....*sigh*...

[Aikbach]

Save yourself from the suffering next weekend and realize that the hearses are indeed out.

[CarlAllDay]

merry christmas eagles i never heard of someone still giving out christmas gifts after christmas is over

[canters]

We suck plain and simple, Romo sucks plain and simple how clear is that.

Sillym, just silly. He cannot do everything. He is a first yr starter, for COL. Get off his back.

[Bryan8284]

No time whatsoever

[Clove]

3 Wides 1st down shotgun

Romo play fake, Barber gets 6.

[Sarge]

Bill looks perplexed

and uninspired

[EGG]

every other contender in the league has a real OC and a real DC,,, not some "coordinators-in-training" program. BP could be successful with decent cordinators IMO, but that means starting over and he's got to make a decision.

[marchetta]

Crap, just got switched over to the SF game. Keep posting guys/gals with details please.

[Kangaroo]

Did anyone not think Romo would struggle at times as a 1st year starter I am way happy he will get better next year. Romo has played as well as Tom Brady his 1st year starting better in some regards difference is they had a great defense are defense is pathetic

[kbman]

The whole coaching staff looks scared. Jerry may do a little talkin after the game.....

[Aikbach]

merry christmas eagles i never heard of someone still giving out christmas gifts after christmas is overThe British have Boxer Day, Dallas must be trying it out.

[Clove]

hurry up
2nd and 3

Romo all day to throw, Barber for 8, 1st down..


Hurry up play 2:


shotgun Romo

Romo back , dump off Barber gets 3, 2 minute warning.

[slogriff]

any wagers that we score aTD and blow the 2 pt?

[LatinMind]

here comes the last second td to owens

[Bryan8284]

Bill will throw the players under the bus after the game.

He's the man, players suck. Yada yada yada

[Achozen]

what the heck im missing the game...they are showing commercials right now

[cowboys4life]

what an embarrassing performance...wow

[kingwhicker]

I feared as much when the Romo bandwagon began to tilt toward the absurd but I held my tongue and hoped to be wrong during the brief win-streak.

Me too, and now I fear it was true.

[JJHLH1]

I'm getting too negative. Other than Ware, I have nothing positive to say about the Cowboys over the past month.

Later guys.

[wxcpo]

Be honest...did Romo REALLY lose this game or was it our pathetic defense.


They have both done their fair share to help contribute to the state of the game thus far. I won't say loss yet because we still have time to get a TD and 2 pt conversion to tie it up.

[Bryan8284]

any wagers that we score aTD and blow the 2 pt?

Bank on it

[Achozen]

they just switched games on me...damn!!!!1

[Aikbach]

Bill can't even go into the lockerroom and lie about this one to his team, they are finished, they have no prayer for advancing, they are not a contender and there will be no rebound, they'll have a long off-season to think about their ineptness but knowing this team it still won't respond.

Time to clean house.

[Bryan8284]

Thank you Sunday Ticket

Kind of

[Mr Cowboy]

Bank on it

more likely that OL will give up a coupls of sacks

[Deputy493]

Sad thing is we aren't even going to make the Eagles earn the division today

[LatinMind]

amazing what happens when u throw slants to owens

[Clove]

2nd and 7 Jerry Jones on the sideline

3 Wides

Romo looking at a blitz, 3 step drop Owens 1st down..



Play 2:


1st and 10

Romo back dump off Pass Barber gets out of bounds for 5.

[wxcpo]

The Seahawks are going to eat us alive next week.

[CarlAllDay]

i think we should run for 2 i dont want the ball in romo's hand for the 2 i think his palms are sweating

[kbman]

Well whoever said that interception TD called back on a penalty would haunt us was right.....

[Tenkamenin]

Sopcast 12993 for anyone who's game got cut off

[J-DOG]

4 fumbles by Romo today.

And how many int's?

Our defense is not playing well...no running game.

We need an every down rb next year because Julius lacks vision and Barber is good in his role as a 3rd down back and short yardage runner.

[Clove]

2nd and 3, Barber got 7 of that last play.

[slogriff]

why does barber slow down? hit the sideline

[Avery]

We've wallowed in mediocrity for too long.

Zimmer - gone. No excuses for keeping him.

And BP might not be back. For a defensive-minded coach to field this kind of defense is unacceptable.

[Sarge]

The Seahawks are going to eat us alive next week.

Think Shaun Alexander will rush for 300 yards against us?

[Aikbach]

Pretty disgusting that 9-7 is good enough to win a pair of divisions and in all honesty it was good enough to win the NFC South and North as well.

A year ago 10-6 stayed home now 9-7 was strong enough to carry a division, pathetic conference and Dallas is the least of the playoff specimans.

[LatinMind]

Oakland 1st overall pick

[Mr Cowboy]

So the 4-3 was not the answer?
