for the TD to start the 2nd half could be the kind of play you look back on at the end of the year and say it turned the season.
 
Question? Was Burnett playing Greg Ellis' position when he made that play? If he was, I'm not sure Ellis has the speed to score there. I am FLYING HIGH after this one.
 
It was the nickel and Burnett was playing his usual role on the nickel.
 
Indy had scored on their previous possession to close out the first half.
They had scored on every 1st, second half possession this season(according to the announcers).
Stopping them from scoring and scoring at the same time was huge. If they had gone down and scored like they have every other time this season the game gets a lot tougher to pull out.
 
I wholeheartedly agree. That was a fantastic play I'm sure we'll be seeing many times in the comming week and indeed down the road if we get on a roll & start kicking butt & taking names.
 
The only thing I didn't like on that play is that Glenn was jumping up and down celebrating. I guess he thought he was down but until the whistle blows, the game is still on.

Was Burnett down? I know they didn't challenge.
 
What I liked about the play was seeing Roy point Burnetrt towards the end zone once he realized there was a pick. Watch for it on the replay.

Extremely close.

Let's just say if I was Gibbs and Campbell threw that pass, I would send it to the league office.
 
Burnett and Barber are two of my favourite Cowboys. Playmakers!

Heh, well I thougt the same thing about Roy's INT in the Eagles game last year. We all know how that worked out. :)

Thought I feel much more confident about this team and this year.

Yeah me too I hated that. Ever since that play I have been dwelling on it. It's been festering inside. I am about to blow:laugh1:

The play that turned the season around was Bledsoe's INT going into the half against the Giants. Thank god for that pass.
 
Burnett was my favorite pick of that draft.

The guy has great athletic skills.
 
I bet the people who said he was a bust feel silly about now.

No way they overturn the call there was not enough evidence.

The Dallas haters in the media are already all over it.
Too bad none of them are crying as loudly about the phantom roughing the passer call on Manning. That was ridiculous.
