prediction
Cowboys make a statement they are the 2nd best team in football.
Cowboys 41
Deadskins 10
I really hate
Tampa and Atlanta right now. 14 minutes are left in the 4th quarter and the Dallas game starts in 4 minutes. I can only hope since it's 31-0 they will go ahead and change since the game is pretty much out of reach. Otherwise, I might have to break something. -.-
looks like they're sticking with the GB game
2 minutes left and up by 2 TDs, but no sign of switching to the Boys game yet...
oh, I see
the Boys game doesn't start for another 7 minutes I guess, but now the Packers have taken over on downs so it should be over in time...
I feel your pain
I'm stuck with Bucs/Falcons game. Bucs are winning 31-0 and it's still on. Luckily it's finally under 4 minutes remaining.
5 mins to game time still
I would hope that wouldn't stick with that game even if it isn't over...
Cleveland/Baltimore
ravens just tied it up with 3:30 left in the game.
Witten out of the gate 12 yards
Game starts
and they still don't switch? WTF? It's fricken 31-0. Give it a rest. Gah.
alright Witten and JJ!
off to a great start!
Nice run by JJ 13 yards
Whoa that was crazy
we got lucky
ouch
that was two bad snaps, but heads up play by JJ
Folkin-A folked it up
blown opportunity
That blown snap hurt
we could have scored
by Dave Halprin on Nov 18, 2007 3:21 PM CST up reply actions
no it isn't
that's stupid to say folk missed a FG because of Gurode.
by Longhorn @ Blogging The Boys on Nov 18, 2007 3:21 PM CST up reply actions
the crowd has to shut up
when the cowboys are on offense, thats what the problem was, Gurode could make out what Romo was saying
yeah, homefield advantage
means knowing when to be quiet, too
Cowboys
should have went for it there.
by Longhorn @ Blogging The Boys on Nov 18, 2007 3:21 PM CST reply actions
Not a good start here
C'mon defense
We got a game
Wake up Dallas
Damn't Roy!!!!!!!!
bench him now
by Burt D @ Blogging The Boys on Nov 18, 2007 3:26 PM CST reply actions
Roy
Why he's not an LB is beyond me...
by Longhorn @ Blogging The Boys on Nov 18, 2007 3:26 PM CST reply actions
I know that
I'm just tired of the same garbage that roy gives us on defense, a basic defensive assignments and he blow it time and time again.
How is it a good idea...
to put Roy on a receiving TE? And then, if you "help" with Ellis, possibly the worst coverage LB we have?
Damn, now we have to listen to how awesome Jason Campbell is getting when in reality our defense is playing like crap. Brady took our defense apart, Campbell has thrown to his first reads on most every play...
Fine
But if's something's not working, shouldn't we try something else? Put Ware on that side and drop him back? This isn't the first time we saw that play.
by GhettoBear04 on Nov 18, 2007 3:35 PM CST up reply actions
that was close
he had time but no openings and tried to force it in
There we go
much better, more of that please...
I really liked that pass to hurd
he is deceptively quick after the catch
by Burt D @ Blogging The Boys on Nov 18, 2007 3:31 PM CST reply actions
Hoyte gets a catch
Wow
Sloppy, sloppy football
Oh frick
Garude is having serious problems with the snaps, that's the 4th bad snap of the day....
yeah
he is, and it's pretty easy...get the QB under center.
by Longhorn @ Blogging The Boys on Nov 18, 2007 3:33 PM CST up reply actions
hey JG
quit going to the shotgun!!!
by Longhorn @ Blogging The Boys on Nov 18, 2007 3:33 PM CST reply actions
yeah
you throw that away.
by Longhorn @ Blogging The Boys on Nov 18, 2007 3:34 PM CST up reply actions
hahahaha
ummmm, it wasn't 4th down. You've said some dumb things, but that takes the cake...
by Longhorn @ Blogging The Boys on Nov 18, 2007 3:38 PM CST up reply actions
Gurode needs to take a seat.
He's usually dependable.
take a seat?
you must be crazy.
by Longhorn @ Blogging The Boys on Nov 18, 2007 3:34 PM CST up reply actions
Nothing is going right
Gurode needs to get his head on straight
by Burt D @ Blogging The Boys on Nov 18, 2007 3:33 PM CST reply actions
He has always had trouble snapping the ball
by Burt D @ Blogging The Boys on Nov 18, 2007 3:34 PM CST up reply actions
it was smart he just underthrew the ball
by Burt D @ Blogging The Boys on Nov 18, 2007 3:35 PM CST up reply actions
Is it sloppy play...
overall on offense? Or just by Gurode?
He had TO breaking
But couldnt heave it far enough. I think that is the farthest Romo can thrown it.
okay, now we should get it back with good FP
well, would have been
great FP if not for the penalty. Nice effort by Crayton but the ball looked a little loose in his hands...
Hmm,
not that good on defense this last drive, but at least the D-line started getting a push.
Thanks Parcells
we needed that Carpenter, well, you know, because you knew his dad.
by Longhorn @ Blogging The Boys on Nov 18, 2007 3:40 PM CST reply actions
that was a first
Has anyone ever seen a field goal reversed?
what happened?
Did they make the FG and then get it overturned on a challenge?
Field Goal
Phil Dawson kicked it, hit the upright, bounced through and hit the pole in the back that holds it up, then it bounced back through the uprights and landed in the end zone....original call was no field goal, then it was reversed
But McBriar nailed it
At least if you got to punt you can stick em inside the 5
im feeling an INT return.
by Longhorn @ Blogging The Boys on Nov 18, 2007 3:48 PM CST up reply actions
Another high snap
threw Romos timing off a little and he had to try to throw it over the blitzers.
Snap
actually, it was a good snap, Romo just jumped because of habit early in today's game...
by Longhorn @ Blogging The Boys on Nov 18, 2007 3:49 PM CST up reply actions
another scoreless first quarter
after scoring TDs on the opening drive the last two weeks, we're back to a slow start... now for a 3-and-out and then the boys get their rhythm....
Sorry to say this....
But today it will be Wash 24 Boys 17 Dallas does not have it.....maybe they will find it, I hope my prediction is wrong, do we have another center...LOL
by Daboys4ever on Nov 18, 2007 3:54 PM CST reply actions
How can you come up with a prediction
after the first quarter? Either make one before the game, if not watch and support our team.
by Brandon Worley on Nov 18, 2007 3:58 PM CST up reply actions
Unbelievable
Randle El uggh
washington is outplaying us
and they are playing their game,slow,plodding and keeping our offense off the feild
they do have us on our heels
Not sure how to adjust. I think they we have to stop the run and make Campbell beat us with his arm.
We needed that miss
Held 'em!!!
Okay, now the momentum shifts...
Giving the Redskins Suisam was
the best thing we have done this whole game
by Burt D @ Blogging The Boys on Nov 18, 2007 4:03 PM CST reply actions
see no big deal
we go down and score and start rolling going into the 2nd half when we're at our best
you could wait
until it actually happens
by ab03 @ Blogging The Boys on Nov 18, 2007 4:04 PM CST up reply actions
It is a big Deal because those 7 points
are on Roy. I am sick of this. The guy needs to go. You have to be able to cover from the safety position in todays NFL.
by Burt D @ Blogging The Boys on Nov 18, 2007 4:05 PM CST up reply actions
Yeah, Romo is jumpy
He's expecting bad snaps now...
Take the colored glasses off
he was rolling right throwing back against the grain in coverage, with three defenders in the area, POOR DECISION TO MAKE THAT THROW. this isn't play ground football. throw it away if the play isn't there and live to play another down.
this isn't a playground
He needs to stop making those fly by the pants plays, thats what he needs to deal with
this is a nailbiter of a drive
they keep making plays and that was a nice one, but definitely not in great rhythm
okay, time to put it in for 7
then stop them and at least go into the half tied, then dominate the second half.
but what the hell was that?
The Redskins might have shown him something
by Burt D @ Blogging The Boys on Nov 18, 2007 4:18 PM CST up reply actions
A time out after the 2-minute warning
I think our heads are hiding in an orifice.
so
one thing we know about these cowboys, they play down to the level of competition...at least in the 1st half
by ab03 @ Blogging The Boys on Nov 18, 2007 4:18 PM CST reply actions
Nice job
Romo and T.O.
thats also pass interference
by Burt D @ Blogging The Boys on Nov 18, 2007 4:20 PM CST reply actions
looking that way the whole way
looking the corner's back...
that fake fade
moss and brady ran that in the colts game. Ever since then, I thought it would work well for TO.
by ab03 @ Blogging The Boys on Nov 18, 2007 4:22 PM CST up reply actions
nice drive, a couple poor decisions
but we finally got it in the endzone.
took a half to accomplish that, argh!!!!
True that!
by Dave Halprin on Nov 18, 2007 4:22 PM CST up reply actions
well, not good coverage on the return
we've got to hold em and go into the half tied...
special teams
not making it easy
by ab03 @ Blogging The Boys on Nov 18, 2007 4:23 PM CST reply actions
thats not really true
when keith davis was out, it was a weakness. it was actually pretty good against some good return teams. problem is that even with keith davis back, they haven't been great
by ab03 @ Blogging The Boys on Nov 18, 2007 4:25 PM CST up reply actions
That is what i mean.
We did great against the Bears, then Davis got hurt and it seems it has been a problem ever since then
Wade is just showing a little more class
troy
by Burt D @ Blogging The Boys on Nov 18, 2007 4:30 PM CST reply actions
No doubt
We just like to make people feel good about themselves for a little while. We got this. No need for panic.
Amen
week 2 against the Dolphins we into the half 10-6 and then outscored them 27-14 in the second half.
week 3 vs Bears went into the half 3-3, then outscored them 31-7 in the second half
week 4 vs Seahawks went into the half 14-7, then outscored them 21-0 in the second
week 7 vs. Vikings went into the half down 7-14, then outscored them 17-0 in the second half
week 10 vs Giants went in the half tied 17-17, then outscored them 14-3 in the second
Let's hope your right
I just don't like the way the D is getting pushed around. We need to make some serious halftime adjustments.
Someone want to explain to me
why they didn't check if that was a catch or not to Randle El up the middle, but they did check in Buffalo with TO towards the end of the game??
by Longhorn @ Blogging The Boys on Nov 18, 2007 4:31 PM CST reply actions
absolutely horrendous first half
Wade, time to show the other side and peel some paint off te walls about this poor non focused, mistake riddled, poor decisions first half of football.
Bad half of football
Mistakes, very sloppy play. The Cowboys need a wake up call Wade. Let Pasqualoni get into them in the locker room
let's start with the snaps
Gurode really needs to settle down and clean up. He's given 5 bad snaps, and I think we'd have maybe 10 more points on the board without that...
Glad that half is over
The Cowboys are fortunate to only be down by 3.
Sloppiest they've looked in a while.
Hope their last drive was an indication of what's to come in the second half.
Skins start the second half with the ball
Lets hope for a turnover early that can set up our second half onslaught
second half stats
I post this above but by the time I got it posted it might have gotten lost...
week 2 against the Dolphins we into the half 10-6 and then outscored them 27-14 in the second half.
week 3 vs Bears went into the half 3-3, then outscored them 31-7 in the second half
week 4 vs Seahawks went into the half 14-7, then outscored them 21-0 in the second
week 7 vs. Vikings went into the half down 7-14, then outscored them 17-0 in the second half
week 10 vs Giants went in the half tied 17-17, then outscored them 14-3 in the second
Grizz
Were going to need quite the 2nd half to fulfill your prediction.
by Junit3123 @ Blogging The Boys on Nov 18, 2007 4:42 PM CST reply actions
if we have the same second half as we had
vs. the Bears (31-7) then they'll hit my prediction of 38-17 ;-)
That sucked
Gurode played like a rookie, romo took too many chances adn our D is still asleep. Let's see how focused this team is and if we an "elite" team. Show us something fellas!!
As Bad as We Played
We are in pretty good shape. We need to get a quick stop and the ball back, just like we did against the Giants last week.
A Spears sighting
we got lucky
he missed that throw, he had too much time for that route to develop.
but nice stop on the run, one more and we can stop this drive...
Ware!!!!!
yup, now as we always seem to do
with our first posession of the second half, we should march right down the field and take the lead
That'll do pig
that'll do
by Burt D @ Blogging The Boys on Nov 18, 2007 4:50 PM CST reply actions
Best. Post. EVER.
by Brandon Worley on Nov 18, 2007 4:51 PM CST up reply actions
finally
had the combination of coverage and pressure to force him to hold onto it long enough, and Ware was looking for that ball...
Why do we keep giving it to JuJo
He is good for two good runs a game and he already went over the limit
by Burt D @ Blogging The Boys on Nov 18, 2007 4:53 PM CST reply actions
Frustrating game
JG
is not having a good day at all in the playcalling dept. 2 runs and a deep curl when all u need is 3 yards?
by Longhorn @ Blogging The Boys on Nov 18, 2007 4:55 PM CST reply actions
agreed
second down run, with julius jones and his stutter stepping? not what they needed.
by ab03 @ Blogging The Boys on Nov 18, 2007 4:56 PM CST up reply actions
Just had another wierd feeling about this one...
Too many people being too content with a blowout.
Been a while since we saw the Cowboys offense sputter like this. And a little conservative playcalling by JG there.
yeah, they've got to put together a drive
when they get the ball back to get the defense off the field for a while, and wear down theirs
shit, first down
Ahh....
lets not start that.
by Brandon Worley on Nov 18, 2007 5:02 PM CST up reply actions
Nice tackle Roy
Now we need to score
got to put together a sustained drive
to give our D a rest and start to wear theirs down....
not really
but good play
by Burt D @ Blogging The Boys on Nov 18, 2007 5:04 PM CST up reply actions
Yeah I know
but he didn't redeem himself
by Burt D @ Blogging The Boys on Nov 18, 2007 5:06 PM CST up reply actions
well the games not over
he might make an INT in our endzone and run it back for a score. Oh, wait a minute, we're talkig about Roy, forget it then!!!
Even though the D has been pushed around
They have only given up 10 points. The offense needs to start doing something other than screwing up.
Hello Crayton
He picked up 4 yards
JuJo would have went for 1
by Burt D @ Blogging The Boys on Nov 18, 2007 5:10 PM CST up reply actions
4 yard pickup is pretty good when you have no
holes terry
by Burt D @ Blogging The Boys on Nov 18, 2007 5:13 PM CST up reply actions
It wasn't meant to be
by Burt D @ Blogging The Boys on Nov 18, 2007 5:08 PM CST reply actions
Bad play by Romo
But Witten needs to be more aggressive
by Burt D @ Blogging The Boys on Nov 18, 2007 5:09 PM CST up reply actions
I wanna cry!!!
Hey
We might get that back!
by Dave Halprin on Nov 18, 2007 5:09 PM CST up reply actions
Whewww!
Interference!
finally called one! I feel the momentum shifting now!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111
by Burt D @ Blogging The Boys on Nov 18, 2007 5:15 PM CST reply actions
Yes. Sweet. TD.
HOLY PUMP FAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
what a turnaround!
from thinking we were about to go down 17-7
Romo needs to be careful with his
high fives. That was with Wades "fixing" hand
by Burt D @ Blogging The Boys on Nov 18, 2007 5:17 PM CST reply actions
TO
This guy is a freaking beast...i have no idea why he's not thrown a go route or deep post every single drive...he will outrun everyone...GET TO THE DAMN FREAKING DAMN BALL!!!!!!!
by Longhorn @ Blogging The Boys on Nov 18, 2007 5:18 PM CST reply actions
please
he burns by CBs and Ss all the time...
by Longhorn @ Blogging The Boys on Nov 18, 2007 5:27 PM CST up reply actions
man
INT...overturned
tackle for a big loss into 3rd and long...TD
I hate these games. Of course Buffalo was way worse but still
by ab03 @ Blogging The Boys on Nov 18, 2007 5:18 PM CST reply actions
I was starting to think
this was looking like that... oh man that was a nice catch
USE THE NEW OPEN THREAD

you can't defend that

Puts things into perspective
We're putting forth a mediocre effort and still beating a decent team.
