How special was Blands record breaking pick 6 to you?

[Runwildboys]

Any time something that can be done that has NEVER been done by any of the greats that have played the game before, it is remarkable. I was rooting for it to happen the entire game, just as I was rooting for CeeDee to get 10 catches and 150 yards for the third game in a row when he broke that record. It adds a little extra to the game when you are rooting for something more than just a win. I thought he would be tackled by the 2 guys. I was going nuts when he somehow got past them. I’ve watched the replay probably 200 times.

Same here. I felt like it was going to happen, and I was telling everyone watching with me I wanted to see it...then BOOM!!! It was the most exciting play I've experienced in a long time.

THOUGHTS: Did Washington HELP HIM GET IN THE END ZONE? Doesn't seem like there was much effort, #8 I think it was came running towards him, and SOMEHOW got tangled up with his own player. IN a meaningful situation, he makes that tackle!!!!!!!

Coogs, we see poor tackling in almost every game, and defenders running into each other pretty often too. Look at some of the things Barry Sanders used to cause defenders to do. They thought they had him, and they'd actually look surprised when they came up completely empty handed.

How many times are you gonna say this foolish crap? Nobody wants to be "posterized" forever. Anything to diminish something great. Pathetic.

It gave me goose bumps. What a great moment. It was especially amazing that Bland made it to the endzone, even though there wasn't just open space. He juked away from two Commander players, including Sam Howell.

are you really surprised he was able to juke a QB, a RB, and a WR?

And if I recall, many in the draft day thread, thought Bland was a reach with the pick they got for Amari. Then went on a tirade about that as well.

 

[Reid1boys]

The stat that was read that blows me away is the Deion had 9 pick 6s in his entire career. Deion is the standard that all are measured against, and to think that bland has 5 this season is insane. Getting one is damn hard and Bland is just doing it like its a weekly play.

To me it was one of the first times in a long time I was overly excited and going crazy. Probably since Emmitts record breaker but even that was about when not if. It was awesome, one of the best moments in Cowboys history. To think this is who we got from the Amari Cooper trade is actually crazy. Bland wasn't even a ranked CB by NFL.com. When McClay is allowed to do his thing and not have to reach for a position he is amazing. Next draft I put McClay, his scouts and a guy to man the phones and I lock the war room. Seriously though what a find, what a player, what a record that I don't see having a chance to ever be broken let alone tied. Just an awesome moment.



Man, love Romo and he's right Nantz made a hell of a call on the play. Amazing, just amazing all around.

It made my Vanilla Bean Ice Cream and Sweet Potato Pie Glorious!!!

1. Warm the hefty slice of Sweet Potatoe Pie in Microwave/ or Oven

2. Take Thor Hammer Size serving Spoon and scoop the lactose free Vanilla Bean Manna onto sweating pie.

3. Enjoy watching you kids destroy your Father-in-law's Eagles shrine while Daron Bland tries to act Humble like the THOT your neighbors kids brought over for seconds.

Happy for the young man but I couldn't care less about the play itself.

It would be different had it been a real difference making play instead of just a personal achievement with no real bearing on the outcome.

Congrats to Bland for earning his place in NFL history.

Breaking this NFL record is an amazing accomplishment, period. I am so thankful he is on our team and cannot wait until next season with him and a healthy Diggs... watch out NFL!

Absolutely a FRONT RUNNER for DPOY, how can he not be? Historic Performance = Historic Recognition!

GO COWBOYS!!

No Kidding Sherlock most of these Records get Broken in garbage time of games....History much

 

[Flamma]

I was jumping up and down the second he caught it, because I knew it was him.

 

[JayFord]

Jim Nantz: THIS IS HISTORY!!!!!!

what a call!!!!!!

Daron breaking that record was so special...im usually stonefaced during games

we score touchdowns and i have 0 emotions (honestly im waiting for a flag) but i usually have no emotion on our big plays and one could mistake me for not caring

but Bland breaking the record i actually jumped up and started screaming and i havent done that since the miles sanders fumble last yr and before that Dez running to the endzone vs the broncos

The Cowboys win was nice albeit expected. The late pick 6 for an NFL record though made the game even more special. Definitely the "cherry on top" for Thanksgiving.

His record will stand forever and he might get another one before the end of the season.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

It was cool to see.

Crazy to think Bland almost has as many pick-6s this season (5) as Mo Claiborne does career interceptions (7).

They can write that on your tombstone and his record will still stand.

I give Quinn a lot of credit for the corners we acquire in the draft. He has a type, so it makes it easier for the scouts to go into the draft looking for his type. They may fail with some of them, like Nashon Wright, and the strategy may backfire at times (Joseph over Asante Samuel Jr., although Joseph didn't completely fit the type), but it's been pretty effective overall.

 

[KJJ]

I would like to see him do it in the playoffs..

Would be nice to see one in a critical situation with a game on the line rather than in a blowout.

Nothing special to me...does not affect me at all.
