DeMarco Murray passed 3000 yards for his NFL career today. He also did something Emmitt and Tony each only did once in their NFL careers, rushed for 100 or more yards 3 straight games to start an NFL season. Emmitt did it in 1995, Tony in 1981. Tony holds the team record for 423 yards in those 3 games, Emmitt just behind at 418 yards, Murray 3rd at 385. Emmitt actually did it 4 straight games that year. Murray would need 158 yards to pass Emmitt for the most yards gained in 4 games in Cowboys History to start an NFL season. If Murray only gains 15 yards next week he'd still be on pace this season for 1600 yards. Currently he is on pace to break the team record for yards in a season, and he is actually on pace to break 2000 yards on the season. But, those numbers are a long way off on the horizon and too soon to be thinking about in reality.

Tony Romo broke a tie with Jim Hart for career NFL TD passes. He is now tied with Terry Bradshaw at 212 and 29th place all time. Next would be John Brodie in 28th place with 214. Tony also broke a tie with Roger Staubach for most game winning drives in Team History with 23. He now stands alone at 24.

The 21 point deficit Dallas overcame today tied a twice set record in Team History. This game ended in regulation, perhaps making it the greatest comeback in Team History since the other 2 both ended in Overtime. The first was at home in 1984 against the New Orleans Saints. However, the 2nd one will be very hard to match in Cowboys lore. That was the 1999 season opener in Washington with Troy Aikman hitting Rocket Ismail deep to crush Washington's day.

Dan Bailey hit his 28th straight FG, breaking the team record of 27 by Chris Boniol that he had tied earlier today. The NFL record is 14 more away. Obviously 15 more would set a new NFL record. Bailey is 33 points behind Bullet Bob Hayes for 4th place all time in Team History.

Dwayne Harris gained 74 yards on Kickoff Returns today. That puts him only 14 yards behind James Jones for 16th place in Team History. He is only 23 yards behind Robert Lavette for 15th place and 48 yards behind Ron Fellows for 14th place in Team History. Obviously one big return could pass all 3. A big day might even move him past Felix Jones at 13th place, 103 yards ahead.

Last week I shared a stat about Dallas being 4-0 all time in September vs. the Titans/Oilers. One poster called that stat "random and meaningless." My way of telling him to piss off is to share that Dallas is now 6-1 all time against the Rams in September, and 7-1 all time on the calendar date September 21st. Oh, and Jason Garrett is 3-0 against the Rams. Of course I think he can thank Murray for that. Don't you?

This is the kind of facts I enjoy reading. I won't be able to remember them all . Usually we only get them from the game announcers if someone breaks the existing record.
Thanks for keeping us up to date and posting for us to read.

Any update on Witten?

Hey Hos, what's up.

Whatever happened to your Touch of Hostility threads after each game? Those were always great.

 

[perrykemp]

Hostile:

Thank you for putting these together. I enjoy them MUCHO.

I still write them, but I do not post them here. I got tired of a couple of posters who take such issues with those types of threads that they make things personal. I do appreciate it, and if you or anyone else want them PM me.

 

[Hostile]

Thanks, Hos!
Any update on Witten?

He's at 889 receptions, His next hurdle is a little bit in the distance, Torry Holt at 920. I will probably start adding him again when he passes 900 receptions. Can you imagine? 900 receptions for one of our best. Really amazing.

I remember you used to be a uniform buff on here....do you know who is the ultimate decider when it comes to the blue uniforms? Is it Jerry and does he have to run it by the nfl before the season starts?

It just doesn't make sense to me with them being so immensely popular, why not wear them more?

 

[rynochop]

The Romo realists have to be shaking their heads and rubbing their hands over the 4th quarter comeback stat

Good stuff. Thanks for posting.

Thanks! Miss ya, Hos, but I understand! Stay safe.

Seemed you were always looking at the bright side, other folks not so much. Easy enough to see and not engage if that's one's cup of tea. I'm sure I speak for others when I say regardless of where you stand, I liked reading them.

Oh, and thanks for the post. Great stuff.

 

[Blast From The Past]

Love reading stuff like this. Thanks.

I do too. Would never realize most of this without Hoss posting it.

I believe Dallas is now 13-1 when Demarco Murray has 20+ carries in a game as well.

 

[guag]

Bailey is 33 points behind Bullet Bob Hayes for 4th place all time in Team History.

And to think he's only 26. Imagine if he's still on the team in 10 years?

The one loss was this years opener I think, right?
