Ya, ESPN Blog says Ro didn't return 2nd half because of illness...

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys starting middle linebacker Rolando McClain will not return for the second half of Sunday's NFC wild-card game against the Detroit Lions with an undisclosed illness.

McClain started Sunday's game but left midway through the second half. He missed the regular-season finale at Washington with an illness but he was expected to participate against the Lions.

McClain has battled knee issues most of the season but has played through it and become one of the Cowboys' leading tacklers.

On the season, McClain led the Cowboys with 10 tackles for loss and was second in tackles (81).

That play from DLaw at the end of the game was amazing from his pass rush to knocking the ball out, to getting on the ball. Amazing

Cut Dekoda Watson. Tell Church to keep his pie-hole shut. And teach Lawrence how to take a knee.

So is NFLN, Ren. That damn Marshall Faulk is sickening. Why isn't anyone talking about all the no-calls for Dallas' way??? And the BS calls ON Dallas for Detroit's way?? Why are they only talking about the PI flag pickup??

Maybe because it was the last controversial call, but anyone who saw that game has to admit that Dallas got shafted just as much as Detroit.

I understand the confusion of picking up the flag but when the receiver initiates contact twice I don't know how that is not mentioned

Yup

Our cat still hasn't come out from under the bed. I scared the **** out of him.

My dog ran away during the game. Wife got mad. She was even less happy with my reaction to the news: "Can you deal with it, please?" And what I was actually thinking didn't include the word 'please.'

They did concussion test on Rolando but later said he was out due to illness. Weird

Very strange indeed- wasn't he sick last week? Maybe they thought he had a concussion from his symptoms; but I'm still stumped.

After they failed to score following the 3rd qtr int, I thought everything was going downhill from there. Kudos to this team for fighting and finishing. And how about that Dlaw? What a perfect time for a coming out party.

Any word on Carter?

 

[mrmojo]

Lions got there break when Dlaw dropped the fumble recovery...so the non-PI evened IMO

 

[StylisticS]

The Internet going nuts right now lol. It should have been offensive PI to begin with.

 

[Boyzmamacita]

Romo's second half = 11 of 15, 144 yards, 1 TD, 125.4 rating

Stafford's second half = 11 of 18, 132 yards, 0 TD, 1 INT, 60.4 rating (plus two lost fumbles)

Woot Woot!

 

[MarkP88]

Been waiting a long time for some karmic payback for the 12 men on the field non-call in 1981.

It was worth the wait.

 

[Tawney88]

Any word on Carter?

Everyone here said he came back in

 

[StylisticS]

Any word on Carter?

And McClain.

Any word on Carter?

He came back into the game.

 

[lostar2009]

Is THAT why they picked it up? I still haven't seen a good explanation. I was mystified. Still don't get it.

No they pick up the defensive pass interference. If anything it should have been offensive pass interference. The judge who threw the flag wasnt in the area. That is why the near by judges pick up the flag as they did not see a interference.

I love Ro's contributions this year, but I'm not ready to open the vault for him
