Thoughts from the game

[blindzebra]

First it was great getting together with fellow fans both from near and far...we tailgated with a bunch of fans from Canada.

The stadium is nice, much better than Sun Devil, but far from the hype. The seats are way too close together and there is zip for leg room...zip for replays, very few score updates from other games, and they completely butchered the halftime honoring of Pat Tillman.

The crowd was pretty much 50-50, and the Cards fans almost disappeared after the half.

Romo is the real deal.

Hurd is a player, he made one of the best catches I have seen on a really bad throw by Romo.

Carpenter is getting it...and with Ellis getting hurt it is coming at a good time.

Dallas was running a funky 3-3-5 formation at times. We'd have Ellis at DE with Ware behind him at LB. We did it with Hatcher at times too.

I imagine we were working on that variation of our base/nickel for the Colts.

Our coverage teams are outstanding, and those questioning Carpenter needs to watch things a bit more closely...Carp is taking on the wedge and eating up blockers, freeing up the other guys for the tackle. He took on a double team and beat it for a tackle on the opening KO too.

And if you all want to see us, you can play where's Waldo with us on the TO TD...we can be seen on the replay just before the commercial.

Thanks for the insider information. I am like you in that I thought Carp played really well. I am ready for him to step up and start.

I was really impressed with Fowler on special teams.

I was there as well. I would have to say one of the most memorable moments was that Mcbrier punt. I could not believe how high and long it was.

The crowd seemed to me to be 75% - 25%. We went into a store prior to the game to tailgate and I saw three Cowboys fans to evey one Cardinal fan. The Cowboys chants and the crowd was incredible. The red shirts cleared out after the last interception.

TO is big and really man handles those db's. more later

Outstanding from both of you. You were truly lucky.

Did Romo throw lollipops?

Is his arm a noodle?
