Who popped Evans and jarred the ball loose? Was that Lewis? I haven't seen a hit like that in a while. Players are afraid to do that now for fear of fines. You have to watch games from the 80s and 90s to see hits like that.

I don't know about dirty but they were laying the wood. Our guys matched the intensity though with some big hits of their own.
I agree.

I am obviously biased towards my team and see things with rose colored glasses at times lol.

I haven’t seen us hitting like that in years.

I am team tank but if you're gonna play to win that's the way to do it. One of the more satisfying wins in quite some time. We beat a quality opponent, we were physical and all three phases of the game contributed. Dat's good football!!

Yep...this kind of win is more impoartant than phantom draft picks. Give these kids some confidence they CAN play. Against a GOOD team.

You got a great memory, Mark.

Tony Dorsett has 14 rushes for 3 yards in that game. Herschel Walker was the star of the RB class with 9 rushes for 28 yards (Doug Cosbie also had one rush for minus-3 yards).

VERY painful to watch. Dysfunctional running game all night. Dowdle 1.8 ypc with a long of just 6 yards.

But hey that Zeke one carry for one yard and a TD looked great. :thumbup:
They said during game TB was like 3rd in run defense ?? They dont allow many rush yds.
Rush had 292 pass yds, baker had 303
Rush 108 rating, Baker 97
So Rush won with passing game!

Luckily TB best safety was not able to play, injured .

And Tampa fell in love with Irving running the ball and lost . I was waiting for Mayfield to throw to the opposite side of Bland .
IMO tampa lost due to their HC going for it at midfield, in 1st qtr !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
they dont get it dallas drives in for 1st td, and that was just crazy stupid.

Yeah well, I was a broke college student at the time and I wasn't told beforehand that there would be midgets.

Not proud of everything I've done.

Man, imagine how good this defense would be with Vita Vea in the middle. Hard to believe the best we can do is Mazi and Osa.
I'd LOVE to see Vita Vea in our middle, providing he's wearing a Cowboy's uni! Otherwise? NOT! :laugh:
Vita Vea is a beast.
