Dallas 28 Washington 21
I think even the backups will do well today.
by Nelson @ Blogging The Boys on Dec 30, 2007 3:10 PM CST reply actions
I think
the backups esp brad johnson will have a good game regardless. I dont think it will be a blowout at all. The redskins are banged up. Also ware and ellis are going to be playing most of the game so have fun todd collins because they are competeing to be the sack leader of the team and leauge
Nice Hamlin
Not getting to Collins at all
Got him that time
Spears!
they just switched over here
after the NO/CHI game
I dont like how romo is wearing gloves.
I just always found that a qb shouldnt wear gloves.. thats just me
he's suited up
despite the rain I hope we get to at least see him make a few catches
Dude.
by Nelson @ Blogging The Boys on Dec 30, 2007 3:27 PM CST reply actions
Dude?
Nice play Akin
I wish the field was good
I want to see #83
Well what troy said made sense
it was a bad pass ball didnt get turned around as the wr was trying to run towards the ball
WTF
Randle El initiated the contact by grabbing Ball's shoulder. If there is any PI call to be made, it's on Randle El.
I guess you're the only one allowed
to criticize Deke. If that was Roy you'd be all over him
That PI penlaty really hurt
Then Henry and Roy run into each other
I Hope We Don't Mail This One In
We've not looked dominant since the second quarter of the Green Bay game. I do not like going into the playoffs with these poor performances. A team can't just turn on great performances like it's a light switch.
Yikes, Romo
not if he's playing the ball and has inside angle
Clean play by Springs
Bad decision by Romo
by Dave Halprin on Dec 30, 2007 3:41 PM CST up reply actions
yes he is
almost the same play was made by Dallas a few games ago. I don't even recall the details right now, but it was the one that the VP of officiating had on NLF Network videos. He ran into the receiver but was not charged PI because his shoulder was inside and he was going for the ball. It was the play that generated a lot of discussion here and elsewhere about whether PI should be reviewable.
that's better
takeaway the other way, i like it i like it!
Woo hoo, fumble recovery Bradie
Ware with the hit
Shut that crap off
by Dave Halprin on Dec 30, 2007 3:57 PM CST up reply actions
LOL! ROTFL! LMAO!
now let's make something out of the turnover
by Nelson @ Blogging The Boys on Dec 30, 2007 3:45 PM CST reply actions
That series didn't work out that well
T.O. we miss you
Did Washington already clinch with the
New Orleans loss?
Dallas 1st quarter
Zero (0) first downs. The offense played horrible that first quarter. They should be embarrassed.
Good Grief
We look sick, like we're just trying to get through it. Look at how the Patriots played last night. Brady was in the whole game.
I do not agree with this 'take the week off' mentality. We go into the playoffs with our tails between our legs.
They should be.
In fact they need to be. They need to improve into the playoffs.
The Patriots Took the Same Approach
During their 14-2 Super Bowl seasons...they played their starters in quote meaningless unquote games, and played hard.
And they didn't go into the playoffs losing or making excuses.
yeah atleast have some good of good offensive
drive. I havent seen a good offensive drive in forever.
We're getting worked here
Nice
this is exactly how i like going into the playoffs, looking absolutely horrible on offense for the past 4-5 weeks...
by Longhorn @ Blogging The Boys on Dec 30, 2007 4:02 PM CST reply actions
I just hope we don't get shutout
because once Romo and MB3 leave the game, we're not scoring.
I know we really have nothing much to...
... play for, but doesn't it look like most of the guys in the game act lethargic -- esp on offense?
And is it just me, or does it seem like Jacques Reeves has regressed.
I'm legitimately concerned about our secondary right now going into the playoffs.
We have not played consistently well for almost a month...
I agree witht he lethargic statement
but as far as Reeves goes, I never thought of him as anymore than a fourth corner, he's not a number three or two corner.
That's why I'd like...
Quality CB & safety play is all that's missing for this to be a better defense next season.
Damn
Romo has absolutely no zip on the ball today...
by Longhorn @ Blogging The Boys on Dec 30, 2007 4:11 PM CST reply actions
Yeah, i know...
Strong arm QBs can throw in this weather, hopefully the weather will be good in Dallas...
by Longhorn @ Blogging The Boys on Dec 30, 2007 4:14 PM CST up reply actions
Nope
but he's never been realy fast, just very quick.
by Longhorn @ Blogging The Boys on Dec 30, 2007 4:13 PM CST up reply actions
I know, that statement stunned me too
by Dave Halprin on Dec 30, 2007 4:15 PM CST up reply actions
what?
It's true. People don't want to believe that though...
by Longhorn @ Blogging The Boys on Dec 30, 2007 4:15 PM CST up reply actions
Glenn is not one of the fastest
But, he is one of the quickest.
by Longhorn @ Blogging The Boys on Dec 30, 2007 4:17 PM CST up reply actions
umm
No. He does not run a 4.3.
by Longhorn @ Blogging The Boys on Dec 30, 2007 4:17 PM CST up reply actions
I hope so
by Nelson @ Blogging The Boys on Dec 30, 2007 4:15 PM CST up reply actions
these officials suck
by BoyzRback07 on Dec 30, 2007 4:16 PM CST reply actions
that one romo should have run
I know he is probably not going to, but he could have had he first down at least
What the Folk?
Romo
should have led Witten a little more there, easy TD...
by Longhorn @ Blogging The Boys on Dec 30, 2007 4:20 PM CST reply actions
Wow.
by Nelson @ Blogging The Boys on Dec 30, 2007 4:21 PM CST reply actions
It looked like he kicked
it in the middle of the ball...
by Longhorn @ Blogging The Boys on Dec 30, 2007 4:23 PM CST up reply actions
Okay O
your D is giving you another chance here
I'm pretty glad this game doesn't mean anything
right about now
sorry to say it..
I don't care if this game is meaningless, The offense looks like crap, and has not been sharp all month....they better pick it up, or it's one and done.....which would be a complete failure of a season in my book.
by BoyzRback07 on Dec 30, 2007 4:31 PM CST reply actions
this hasn't been the same team sice the first
half of the Packer game. Right now this t5eam couldn't beat the Giants or the packers, IMO.
+1
Exactly what i was thinking, ever since the TO drop against Green Bay, this team has looked different...
by Longhorn @ Blogging The Boys on Dec 30, 2007 4:35 PM CST up reply actions
I agree Deke...and you can add Seattle to that
by BoyzRback07 on Dec 30, 2007 4:36 PM CST up reply actions
that was last year
and as I remember we lost that game!!!!! They were playing with street free agents in their sceondary, one who was with the cowboys, but didn't want to move to safety in Hunter and we still couldn't beat them. This isn't the way you want to play heading into the playoffs, its a very bad sign..
cant turn it on like a light swiitch
heard that very same thing in 1998 going into the playoff game against the cardinals, ended up getting shut out at home
and TO will hopefully be back
with Glenn, along with hopefully Rat, Gurode, Newman...
I do think they will come to the playoffs ready to rock and roll.
I know this doesnt matter......
but this is 4 weeks in a row of not playing well.
by HSO on Dec 30, 2007 4:37 PM CST reply actions
T. Glenn?
Please tell me Terry wasn't hurt on that play.
He appeared to be ok, maybe they decided
Enough is enough
I think wade should leave everyone in.....
This is pathetic
by HSO on Dec 30, 2007 4:38 PM CST reply actions
Geez
that was so ugly it was oooogaly.
by Longhorn @ Blogging The Boys on Dec 30, 2007 4:39 PM CST reply actions
Ever since trailer trash girlfriend...
Romo has not played well at all since, dump da pig.
by BoyzRback07 on Dec 30, 2007 4:40 PM CST reply actions
Santana Moss
Might be regarded as an elite receiver if he didn't always drop the ball when colliding with the ground.
Still don't think we need to draft a CB ???
think again...top priority.
by BoyzRback07 on Dec 30, 2007 4:47 PM CST reply actions
Should have picked Cromartie
instead of Carpenter. Thanks a lot BP.
by Longhorn @ Blogging The Boys on Dec 30, 2007 4:48 PM CST up reply actions
wasn't a need at the time
we were swwitchign to a 3-4 defense and didn't know if Ellis could play that position, thats why Carpenter was the pick, very logical choice at the time.
this reminds me of a game a few years back
under the same weather conditions when we played against the Skins and Emmitt Smith needed like 55 yards to get to 1000 for the season and the team completely laid an egg and was blown out.
I thought dallas would close up shop early and the Skins would win easily, but I thought dallas would have a couple good series, but I guess not.
we also got blown out by skins in 92
the last game and came out and played great in playoffs and won the SB
I think Emmitt had 25 yards for the game
missed 1000 for the season, it was Campo's last game as the headcoach
Dave Campo's Last Game
as Cowboys head coach, in 2002.
This game has the same resigned, depressing feel to it, like there's no way we'll win.
NO
Not great, but definitely not utter despair. Several key starters not playing, playing conservatively to avoid injury, Washington playing with their season on the line, defense is making some good plays...
This game is
Our starters against their starters.
.
.
.
Yes, I'm concerned for the playoffs.
Due to injuries
And they have how many out due to injuries? At least five.
we should have blown carolina away a rookie qb
Had them in the game until the end and steve smith made our corners look bad.
Wow
it's unbelievable that these Refs still don't know the rules, pathetic...
by Longhorn @ Blogging The Boys on Dec 30, 2007 4:52 PM CST reply actions
Offense
The offense is what I have a problem with. The play calling is suspect. I hope they went vanilla once we wraped up the division and are saving the new plays oh no is he hurt!!!!!!!!
Romo
needs to go take a shower, that was stupid to run around in the pocket like that...
by Longhorn @ Blogging The Boys on Dec 30, 2007 4:54 PM CST reply actions
If Garrett clled for a pass play instead
of a FG attempt, he's welcome to join Parcells.
not good.
I understand we're without 5 starters, but damn. We don't look good at all.
by Nelson @ Blogging The Boys on Dec 30, 2007 4:59 PM CST reply actions
Well
he doesn't have TO, so probably look the same...
by Longhorn @ Blogging The Boys on Dec 30, 2007 5:05 PM CST up reply actions
One game and out
The way this team is playing, I see one playoff game and then we are out.
by Sasquatch on Dec 30, 2007 5:01 PM CST reply actions
And What Scares Me, Besides the Last Month
...is Wade Phillips has never won a playoff game. He's always had a good regular season record, but he's never won in the playoffs. This is a young team, and I'm officially worried.
Special Teams under Wade
Don't look good either. This year's team included, we haven't improved from last year but we've had a few good players carry the load.
Oh, Really?
...and what in the last month makes you think that is going to happen?
by Sasquatch on Dec 30, 2007 5:28 PM CST up reply actions
Sad - just sad
Julius Jones 4 rushes = 5 yards
Marion Barber III 5 rushes for -2 yards
Roy Williams missed tackles = several
Jason Witten catches 1 of 4 = 8 yards
Tony Romo 6 completions = 70 yards, sacked, intercepted
Analysis: Offense sucks, defense almost sucks
Starters should stay on bench..
Not because we want to rest them, or protect from injury...it's because their aweful play warrants it.
I feel we probably have a better chance to win with Brad Johnson in the game.,,,never thought i'd say that.
by BoyzRback07 on Dec 30, 2007 5:03 PM CST reply actions
hope those benches aren't made of wood
some of the players might get injured by splinters and miss a couple of weeks.
USE THE NEW OPEN THREAD
I think the fact that the starters
and not expected back is what is discouraging because we do not expect the subs to make up 13 point deficit.
good...keep ROMO in to make ammends for poor play

Hoyte couldn't hit the side of a barn.
