This was the most work I have ever done in my life!!! lol.
11:20 pm - Great win. I know it's preseason, but the offense looked sharp with Romo and although they only put up FG's I am sure this was the 'Vanilla' offense. Romo - 10 of 11 for 93 yards. Could not ask for much more from him. Loved Jason Garrett's play calling especially when Matt Moore was in there. Plus he was the Energizer Bunny on the sidelines. Wade is not an exciteable guy, but he was smiling a lot which we haven't seen from the Cowboys head coach during a game in a while. MBIII is a workhorse of a player - 12 carries for 48 yards, 3 catches for 11 yards. Have no idea why he was so heavily utilized tonight while JJ was not. Fasano had a great game, 3 catches for 43 yards. O line was very good. Romo was pressured maybe once. Johnson, Moore and Bartel did not get much pressure either. Cowboys QB's only had 4 incompletions all night. Colts had one sack and that came 3 to 4 seconds into the play. Matt Moore looked better than expected and will wind up as the 3rd QB. Tony Curtis, 3 catches for 53 yards. Loked good, but he was pretty wide open on his catches. Tyson Thompson, 11 carries for 34 yards. Jackie Battle probably looks better in practice because he did not impress me at all. Over to the defense. Ware was doing ok, but he was the only one I really saw getting pressure from the 1st team D. Pass defense was a little sketchy at times, but not awful. Keith Davis was in the right place at the right time for his TD. Nice job by Obomese, who had a very nice game, to get his hands up to tip the pass. Spencer, did not see him do much. Joey Thomas had that great pick in the End Zone on a late pass. Glymph was showing some good things against the second team offense. Special teams. Kick return coverage needs some work. They were letting up a lot of yards. Gramatica made his two FG attempts and Folk made his FG attempt. Overall this was a very solid performance.

[FONT=Verdana, Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]Cowboys 23, Colts 3 - 3:02 left in the 4th [/FONT]
10:28 pm - Not sure if Anthony Spencer is still playing, but I would love to see him come up with a sack here to finish off a good night. Flag, personal foul on Montavius for hitting Colts QB. None of the backup NT's have done anything of note in this game. Except for that Personal foul, lol. Bowen nice tackle. 3rd and 9 or Colts at their 45. Incomplete out of bounds. PUNT!

[FONT=Verdana, Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]Cowboys 23, Colts 3 - 10:57 left in the 4th [/FONT]
10:12 pm - Who had Keith Davis with an INT return for a TD? Deon Anderson just nailed the kick returner on the sideline, but these Colts are getting like 30 yards on every return. Ugly, Colts RB bounces off two D lineman to run for 8 yards. Romo being interviewed. Wow. Someone on the sideline just threw a huge roach on Romo during the interview!!! lol. That was hilarious!!!

9:25 pm - Halftime notes: MBIII - 9 carries, 45 yards plus 3 cacthes for 11 yards. He is doin work people. I think he is done for the night though. JJ, 4 carries for 16 yards. The defense has not shown a lot of blitzing and not much of a pass rush, no sacks so far. Very fast first half. Fasano, 3 for 43 yards, looked great and caught all his paases downfield from Romo. Colts offense held in check for most part. Would like to see more blitzes though.
[FONT=Verdana, Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]Cowboys 6, Colts 3 - Halftime [/FONT]
9:16 pm - Ok, Colts called the timeouts and then kneeled down???? Now Wade calls a timeout ???????????? *** was all that about? lol. Halftime folks!

9:13 pm - AAAAGGGGHHHHH!!!! Fasano was wide open down the middle and Johnson short armed it! Uh oh. High snap. Johnson gets it and gets control of it. Then runs two steps the right and fumbles it, lol. Preseason football. Procter is in at Center. 3rd and 26.
[FONT=Verdana, Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]Cowboys 6, Colts 3 - :45 left in the 2nd [/FONT]
9:08 pm - MBIII is getting a lot of touches here, but he has a nice catch for 10 yards and there is a penalty on WR for not lining up properly. Again to MBIII. He keeps taking short passes from Johnson. 3rd an 1. MBIII for 16 yards!!! 2 minute offense with Johnson. Boys call a timout. Man is MBIII doing it all!

[FONT=Verdana, Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]Cowboys 6, Colts 3 - 1:53 left in the 2nd [/FONT]
9:02 pm - No dice, MBIII caught pass short of 1st down. Punt by McB into End zone. Romo is smiling it up on the sideline. Wish he has a TD pass in there, but 93 yards and only one incompletion is solid.
[FONT=Verdana, Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]Cowboys 6, Colts 3 - 3:58 left in the 2nd [/FONT]
9:00 pm - Two long drives by the offense, but only 6 points. Now let's see a TD. Wade was happy about that big stop on D. Romo is out. MBIII still in there. Romo was 10 for 11 93 yards while he was in there. 3rd and 4 coming up.

[FONT=Verdana, Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]Cowboys 6, Colts 3 - 5:21 left in the 2nd [/FONT]
8:52 pm - Really needed a TD on that drive! Alright Wade. Now let me see some blitzing from the defense! Manning is out already. Ok, Spencer just came on a blitz, but I also saw Ware going back in coverage. Incomplete pass. 3rd and 9 for Colts. Oh man! Newman had good coverage and they still got the 1st down. TO is doing a live interview right now with Pam Oliver, lol.
[FONT=Verdana, Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]Cowboys 6, Colts 3 - 7:11 left in the 2nd [/FONT]

Preseason football! End of the 1st quarter. O line did a good job on that 3rd down play, but no one was open.
[FONT=Verdana, Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]Cowboys 3, Colts 3 - :00 left in the 1st [/FONT]
8:34 pm - Thompson returns to 25. Is Romo coming back out? Commercial. Did not see much of s pass rush from the D line on that last drive by the Colts. Why are why showing the Music City Miracle!
[FONT=Verdana, Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]Cowboys 3, Colts 3 - 2:01 left in the 1st [/FONT]
8:30 pm - Good pressure by Ware! Colts dont make 1st. They did kick a 40 yard FG though. Ties it up.

[FONT=Verdana, Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]Cowboys 3, Colts 0 - 5:21 left in the 1st [/FONT]
8:20 pm - Ok, MBIII gets the 1st, but next play he loses about 5 yards. 3rd and long coming up after MBIII run for about 4. Colts put McFarland on IR by the way. Wowzer, Crayton got stuck hard after catching pass for about 6. 4th down, Gramatica hits short FG. Leonard Davis is knocking peoples helmets off!!! Wanted a TD, but FG is ok I guess.
[FONT=Verdana, Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]Colts 0, Cowboys 3 - 5:37 left in the 1st [/FONT]
8:17 pm - Wow, JJ gets a pass out of the backfield and goes for another 1st down. Offense looks very good! Romo looks ncie and calm. Ohh, overthrow trying to hit TO. Romo got hit hard. 11 play drive so far. 3rd and 1 coming up after catch by Crayton for 8. On Colts 15 yard line.

8:10 pm - Thompson takes kickoff to the 20, nothing special. Romo first play is a pass to TO on the right sidline. Looks good for about 8. 2nd and 2, Julius goes for 1 yard. Garret is giddy on the sidleine. 3rd and 1 - Julius for about 5 yards, First Down on the 36 yard line!
[FONT=Verdana, Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]Colts 0, Cowboys 0 - 13:16 left in the 1st [/FONT]
8:08 pm - I am even more focused on the stupid commercials. Manming as usual looks like he playing in a playoff game. He has that game face on. Pam Oliver says Cowboys are going to be worried about the heat. Start drining water boys! Gurode says he drank a gallon on the way to the stadium.
[FONT=Verdana, Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]Colts 0, Cowboys 0 - 15:00 left in the 1st [/FONT]
8:05 pm - There is a God. Live Cowboys Football is back. Troy better start being more complimentary to the Boys too this season. Give Romo some props Troy! Wade looks like he is going to overheat by halftime, lol.
[FONT=Verdana, Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]Colts 0, Cowboys 0 - 15:00 left in the 1st [/FONT]
8:02 pm - Oh yeah. A Manning sandwich by Spencer and Ware would be nice too! Especially on the first play of the game for the Colts offense.
[FONT=Verdana, Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]Colts 0, Cowboys 0 - 15:00 left in the 1st [/FONT]
8:00 pm - Finally some live action! Some things I definitely want to see tonight from this team. Romo play well and stay healthy, Romo to T.O. on a nice 70+ yard pass for a TD on the first drive and some ferocious pass rushing from this defense even though I know we aren't going to see the entire defensive package. Wade better give me a few funky blitzes! Lastly, no injuries for either team.
