but winning does take the sting of defeat away, and you feel alright and confident for the next game

momentum is just confidence and feeling good

And the Eagles have a lot more confidence than we do right now

An amazing feat no doubt, and I remember watching that game, but Allen had an angle and a head of steam. He didnt outrun a DB in a sprint by any means

not the point. how can you call him one of the slowest guards in the nfl. anyone that watched allen play would laugh at that thought. He was never slow. if you actually saw that play, angle or not, a 320 lb lineman chasing a db, how could you ever call that guy slow for a guard.

In retrospect, he is probally one of the fastest, quickest, strongest o-linemen of all time. Larry Allen was no one trick pony. Just b/c he was strong, those of us that watched him in his prime know that he was equally as quick and fast.

puppet? in this thread at least, I'm your daddy

Ah yes, those fact based arguements about momentum and Marion Barber winning a playoff game against the Falcons. How could I have been so blind.

:laugh2:

Stop serving up slow, low hanging beachballs, because I'll have no choice but to keep knocking them into deep center

3 game winning streak, including two consecutive divisional road games, tends to give teams more of a boost than a blowout loss followed by a sloppy win against a poor team

It was just on ESPN, twice, in about 3 minutes. Albeit as a reserve, but he still made it while we're stuck with frail arse Kosier

There's no such thing as a "reserve"... there IS such a thing as an "alternate"...

Speaking of which, did any Cowboys make it as alternates??

As for being "stuck" with Kosier, I'll simply note that with the mighty Larry Allen last year, the Boys ranked:

13th in total offense... they rank 4th this year...

13th in rushing offense... they rank 10th this year...

15th in pass offense... they rank 4th this year...

28th in sacks allowed... they rank 17th this year...

15th in scoring offense... they rank 3rd this year...

So tell me again, HH, why are you upset that the Cowboys replaced Allen with Kosier, when they are vastly improved in every major offensive statistical category??

You MIGHT have had a point if the offensive stats were worse this year than last year, but as it is, you're just blowin' hot air...

Again...

did I say anything about the playoffs?!! you said we need to run well late in games to have a chance, I gave you an example of when we did

winning games is momentum, and we've won more than we've lost, 6 wins in 7/8 games, 1 loss doesn't destroy 6 games worth of winning

kid, you're a punch-line

Larry Allen ran a 5.6 in the 40 coming out of college. That's slow, by any and all standards

So how many guards go? NFL.com's list is "supposedly" complete, but lists just two guards. I'm assuming it's an omission on their part.

My apologies..

No need to apologize, IF Larry made it at all, he made it as an ALTERNATE...

Which means he doesn't go unless one of the guards who did make the team can't play... and unless that happens, he is NOT a Pro Bowler...

Frankly, I don't see how a blocker who didn't even PLAY in 5 games this year, because of injury, can even make the Pro Bowl as an alternate... as others have said, he made it purely on reputation, NOT on his play this year...

No matter how HH tries to spin his BS...

no way larry allen ran a 5.6. that is about as funny as your 30 yard slant. Come on man. If he ran a 5.6, angle or not how does he catch that DB.

You are like school in the summer time.

Yes you have, but I'll dumb it down for you:

Week 15 against the Falcons, a team who will finish out of the playoff picture, and the NFC Title game agaisnt Chicago are two completely different scenarios.

Let me help you a bit...

Barber has 763 Yds rushing...

475 of them has come in the 2nd half nearly 300 of them in the 4th qtr.

Julius has 449 yds in the 2nd half, nearly half of his total 1019.

416 4th qtr rushing yards.

5 of those games we were behind signifcanly going into the 4th Qtr. so if you logically follow that we would go more to a passing game at that point without the balanced attack and take the total yards in the 4th qtr and devid by the remaining 9 games that means we had nearly 50 rushing yds per game in the 4th qtr. of the games in which we were not significantly behind.

It would seem to me that your thesis is wrong.

No he didnt, he made it as a backup, and it's been well established in this thread.

Sucks to be you
