Percy Harvin's 95-yard kickoff return for a touchdown to start the second half was just a momentum boost for the home team. The score tied the game, but more importantly it seemed the Cowboys had two chances to tackle Harvin.

First safety Gerald Sensabaugh missed him first then Barry Church also came up empty. The Vikings did a good job of blocking the return.

"They kind of ran a counter to the other side," Sensabaugh said. "I was just attacking, knowing I have to keep him inside and he cut up inside on me. I feel I should have made that play."

Our players are highly accountable after the game is over...very honorable of them.

Now how about taking on some accountability during the game, when you can actually do something to affect the outcome?

 

[TwoCentPlain]

Give JJ credit for not signing Sensabaugh to a long term contract.

Don't want to pay big money to a strong safety who can't tackle.

At least he won't be a Cowboy much longer.

Should have been a penalty on 62 for holding at the 29 marked off to the 19.

Then again he only held for 5 seconds who could be expected to see that?

Can't rely on the refs to bail us out.

Dumb fools.... Too late after it's done!

LOL @ bail us out. You meant do their jobs properly right?

Sensabaugh could do his job properly too.

Yeah, i saw that live. Holley was held BIG time. But then again, holding happens on every play. Two guys got their hands on him and he should have been tackled.

I thought holley played great on special teams. That was the only way they could stop him was to hold him.

 

[BigDFan5]

Sensabaugh could do his job properly too.

Oh so since Sensy missed a tackle that absolves the refs for not calling the obvious penalty where Holley was held for about 5 seconds? Oh I get it now

Dare I say "great minds think alike?"

It doesn't. But this isn't a thread about the refs. It's about Sensabaugh taking another bad angle.

Sensy completely whiffed on Jim Kleinsauser too.

Jim.....friggin........Kleinsaucer. I cant even spell his name he sucks so bad

:laugh2ude is basically an offensive lineman in the backfield, and he looked like Gale Sayers out there.

That doesn't absolve the refs from calling obvious holds where the runner runs right past the hold. It was a blown non-call, no matter what Sensabaugh did. And nobody's saying Sensabaugh should't also have made a play.

Catch up, Scandrick. I recognized that already.

 

[MarionBarberThe4th]

There really is no argument here. Sensy and the officials sucked on the play. But theres a way for Sensy to make them sucking a non issue. Tackle or slow down the bad man w/ the football
