Early games open thread

PrintThe day has finally arrived. The Dallas Cowboys have a chance to rectify a rocky season by crashing the playoff party with a win over the Philadelphia Eagles. First, we have to wait for the early games to reach completion. The Eagles will be watching the scoreboard as they need the Bucs to lose and either the Vikings or Bears to lose. If that happens they will be playing Dallas with a playoff spot on the line, if they don't get that they'll be playing just to spoil our season.
This is an open thread for the early games.

I think Dallas could beat Minnesota in the first round matchup
Cowboys fan since 1978.. I was 3 years old

We take care of business today and we couldn’t ask for a better situation.
I think NYG playing Tampa Bay last year
helped settle them down. Any of the NFC East teams could of won that game and gotten a playoff win.

Of all the games I wish I could watch now
I wish i was watching Detroit. It’d be hard to imagine grown men caring more about a game than the players in that one

If GB loses, they'll never live it down
To fall to arguably the worst NFL team in modern history IN LAMBEAU (where Detroit hasn’t won since the Barry Sanders Era)….
I think we will witness history being made today.

TB can't get any offense going...
IF the Raiders can pull the upset, the Eagles only need either the Vikings OR the Bears to lose in order to play for a playoff spot.

More evidence of Officiating bias NY vs. Minn
3 & 6 for Vikes, safety blitzer has Jackson going over onto his back, Jackson throws it away JUST LIKE Flacco did going down last week deep in our territory. Result:. Jackson 13 yd loss/sack. Flacco incomplete pass. What BS. There IS Dallas bias by Officials.
well, particularly
Ed Hoculi is suspicious after getting called out by Jerry Jones.

That play was called a sack against Flacco.
burnett was credited with the sack.

Why?
Did the Colts already pull out their starters? You would think they would have learned their lessons by now.
~Texas Massacre 08~
That Doesn't Help Them In The Playoffs.
How many times have they rested their starters in the last game -only to go 1 and out in the post-season?
~Texas Massacre 08~
I'm loving the referee crew in the CHI/Min game...
They aren’t hurrying to blow a whistle and are letting the play continue through its entirety. Then afterwards, they get together and make a ruling. This allows coaches to challenge if needed instead of a backbreaking….“play is not challengeable due to being blown dead”

Too bad it hasn't been done like that earlier in the season...

hey guys
On NASN (NFL channel in France) they will broadcast the Jets/dolphins game. I can’t believe it, Dallas is one, if not the most recognizable NFL team in Europe and they picked that game !
Any idea on a website showing the game ?

I just tried it on the Tampa game and it works. Small screen but very good stream. I have the NE/BUF game on TV so i’ll stick with that while waiting for dallas

Skyler Green
Looks about 30 pounds lighter and just got a 40 yard KO return for New Orleans. I thought he was the definition of a bust. I wonder if Carpenter will make the Probowl with the Dolphins next year…

Having their playoff hopes crushed might motivate the Eagles even more....
They will come at us with a “If we don’t go, they don’t go” mentality…
Come and whisper in my ear, give us dirty laundry - ESPN
Not as crushed as not having the opportunity to make it.
They woke up this morning with a chance, if they’re told 5 minutes before kickoff they can’t go, they will be deflated trust me.

If they have been amping themselves up for weeks to play the role of spoiler that'd be one thing
but to find out you’ve become “spoiler” right before kickoff… not good.

we'll see. These are 2 very different teams since week 2.
Remember Brian Steward no longer calls the defense that allowed 37.

That's Not The Point Tho.
Revenge is on their minds. Anyways, the Eagles have been playing better than Dallas this month of December.

Is cupcakes the word you really want to use
Our headcoach is a cupcake and certainly runs a camp and a team like a cupcake and his team can’t beat cupcakes like the Rams, so I don’t think I would uses cupcakes as an analogy when talking about other teans schedules when the cowboys themselves play like they resemble cupcakes at times this year..
except the satisfaction of
kicking us out of playoffs. That would make them some free publicity around the world!
you forgot to update the giants score
it’s ok, I did above. Or we could all just look at espn.com or any other sports website.

LOL, they've got an all star cast, and some hot women, Scarlett surprisingly doesn't look good in the movie
she wears too many clothes. Mendes looks amazing in it though. That’s all besides the point, the storyline, acting, action, special effects are all garbage. I’d give it a 2/10.

The spirit is one of the first independent comics in america
from like the early 60s. Frank Miller updated it with his style. IMHO Frank Miller’s style has run it’s course. Sin City plots were exciting for a day
I didn’t not check this data in the wiki so feel free to disprove me… but i’m tired of Miller

Sin City was great, 300 was a bore
I’d say he’s Hit or Miss.

He had nothing to do with the movie 300...
He was very involved with Sin City.

Frank Miller was held in check with Sin City
Because Rodriguez was there to make sure everything went ok and that movie was great.
In this one Miller just ran hog wild and it turned to crap.

He’s hit or miss himself, but I love how he’s done it so independently. Desperado is a classic but Once Upon A Time in Mexixo wasn’t a needed movie. But Johnny Depp was great.

I like him a lot, even though his movies are a little too gore. Like Tim Burton too. At least these guys are not afraid to do what they like despite the big guys of hollywood
Tarantion and Rodriguez worked together on Dusk tell Dawn
which was fun, and important in horror – here’s how
Remember how popular vamps were in the 90s? then 2000s was zombies? I think that movie was the bridge in eras of pop horror.
I also think vamps are popular when Dems win, and Zombies when republicans win. this trend goes back to the 80s

TB/Chicago/Minnesota
don’t matter to me. Philly hates us anyway, they will play hard no matter what just to be sure we don’t make it.
Cowboys just need to go out and win the game and they are in!
"Out of need springs desire, and out of desire springs the energy and the will to win."
dude why do you keep saying that?
Please understand.
Philly needs:
TB LOSS
AND
CHI LOSS OR MIN LOSS

The scenario isn't off. Scenario's can be "on" before the 1pm games start and "off" before it's halftime.
You’ve been debating me about playoff scenarios for 3 weeks now and you’re wrong every time. Please believe the scenario is correct.

no the scenerio is.......
Minn, Bears, and Tampa are all playing now…
Minn and Bears win..Philly is out..
It’s that simple…
You can forget about the Tampa game…
Unless I’m missing something that’s the scenerio..
Please stop.
The Eagles clinch a wild-card spot with a Philadelphia win and Tampa Bay loss and Minnesota loss
OR Philadelphia win and Tampa Bay loss and Bears loss.

"they need the Bucs to lose and either the Vikings or Bears to lose."
that’s what Grizz said above. seems like if the Bucs win the other game doesn’t matter.
We've known this scenario since last Monday night.
why boyzfan thinks it suddenly changed in the 2nd quarter of the 1 oclock games is beyond me.

wow you guys are both right!
6 eggs to half a dozen or whatever
tampa lose and minn loss or chi loss
so tampa wins the other games dont matter
OR
minn win AND chi win it dont matter what tampa does because….
PHILLY needs 2/3 to lose
What the French?! Toast!
Houston about to take the lead, Giants driving... Bucs still tied.

If the Cowboys take care of their business, then it doesn't matte what any team does.
Come and whisper in my ear, give us dirty laundry - ESPN
This is fine
have Minn and Chi lose. Let the Bucs stuggle. Get the Eagles all psyched.
Then have TB win on a late field goal. That will suck a lot of wind out of their sails.
And if that doesn't happen?
PHI gets ALL the momentum, they won’t be stopped.

huh
Are you secretly cheering for them? We just dropped 24 points on defense better then theirs..
Let’s go cowboys..
"Protect the Romo, Save the Cowboys!!"
Those 24 Points Are Questionable.
The first 7 pts came off a fumble and the last 14 were due to the Ravens playing prevent D.
~Texas Massacre 08~
Just wondering
is goal tending legle in the NFL just saw a 65 yard free kick almost go for three points. And I was wondering if you can bat it away at the goal post if your the defense.
Nope. You can catch it, but can't interfere with a ball going through the uprights.
Therefore you can’t “catch” a ball either that has a chance of going through the uprights.
by DieSlowKeyshawn on Dec 28, 2008 1:31 PM CST up reply actions
not really...
if it’s on it’s way down, but has a chance of going through the uprights you can’t interfere with it. Think about how many guys would swat away those balls that land just over the bar.
by DieSlowKeyshawn on Dec 28, 2008 1:32 PM CST up reply actions
seems fine to me if a guy can jump up to 11 feet in the air..
Let him swat it..

Guys dunk the ball over the bar all the time, they can definitely swat the ball away

in order to keep Cassel at a cheap price. Didn’t really get why, though
Yeah
Too many bad teams out there need QBs. Cassel is as good as paid and as good as gone.

Brady isn't going anywhere
Cassell may not work in another system, I doubt NE signs him. They never pay big money for a backup…Cassell will get a nice contract from someone
i really dount the Pats would do that
it seems to me that would only drive up their price. Unless they’re trying t scare away team from even getting into the bidding?

I’m always sure they are going to win, i can’t get into a game being pessimist. That sometimes changes during the course of a game, which doesn’t matter, beavuse with every loss, I get crush, no matter what
that sucks for Det .... 0-16 .... damn.
They've done studies, you know. 60% of the time it works, every time.
Unless he has some kind of Fx or major head injury
Hw’s playing for PIT
Cowboys fan since 1978.. I was 3 years old
I'll tell ya what
we better not be wearing our road blue unis today….that could mean trouble
In Romo we Trust
I don't know
I think the uniforms and what my son and I wear have a bearing on the outcome of the game.
no this team should play in the blues
until they prove they deserve the whites

not according to Al Davis...
“he’s a phenomenal player” lololol
by DieSlowKeyshawn on Dec 28, 2008 2:23 PM CST up reply actions
Haha, Al Davis also drafted a punter in the first round
Not to mention Sebastion Janikowski in the 1st
one year wonder in college
I was never a fan of his, thought the Raiders should of traded down and got more picks
Thats usually my solution for a lot of teams
But none of them ever do it. GM’s just love drafting skill positions.
Yeah, its gonna happen this year
Lions will draft Bradford rather than suiting their dire need for defense and offensive line
yeah, no doubt they'll take bradford with the first pick
but if I were them, I would be looking hard to get out of that number one slot
almost no one trades up to 1st pick
the 1st pick’s contract will financially hamstring a team
by AustonianAggie on Dec 28, 2008 2:36 PM CST up reply actions
there were suiters for the Raiders number one spot
but I agree, teams dont want the number one spot because of the contracts are ridiculous, but that’s about o change. The NBA slotted style draft is coming. NFL Veterans now want it more than anyone since they’re the ones getting sqeezed out becasue of the money rookie contracts demand..
That's all true but the fact of the matter is that Davis was stupid.
He had suitors and he just didn’t take them because he was enamored with Russell. I know the draft pick point value chart is big with the teams, and you’re almost never going to get what the #1 pick overall is worth, but sometimes that 1st pick, if you really want to or need to move it, is only worth what you can get for it. They could have moved down, still got a good QB, and a bunch of other players that would have helped their team and Davis blew it.
Nice running by #21 .... ALMOST stepped out of bounds

niceeeeeeeeeee
nice to see the birds season overrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr hahahahahahahaa
Exact same play at NY vs Minn
The safety comes on to make an INT and almost returned it….the play looked exactly the same as the Tampa Pakland play…..
LET'S GO COWBOYS!!!!!!
don’t F this up!!
They've done studies, you know. 60% of the time it works, every time.

24-20, this is far from over…
by DieSlowKeyshawn on Dec 28, 2008 2:31 PM CST reply actions
funny thing is
we all hope for TB to win so the eagles are eliminated which then will mean TB will hope that Dallas loose so they’re in !
how ironic is that
Yup, Eagles are hoping for them to lose and they're hoping that the Eagles win, lol...

Cadillac hurt again?
Man, that sucks. Dude just can’t get a break at all….
Come and whisper in my ear, give us dirty laundry - ESPN
Well... no more
scoreboard “watching” for Philly, they’ve got to be on the field by now warming up… they won’t know until RIGHT BEFORE kickoff as to whether they have a chance or not. LETS GO BUCS!!! Looking like the only hope right now.
by DieSlowKeyshawn on Dec 28, 2008 2:42 PM CST reply actions
run down the scenarios...
so,
Philly needs Tampa Bay to lose, OR, Minnesota AND Chicago to lose? if either of those happens, they are still alive?
Isn’t tampa playing for the playoffs? WTF are they doing vs Oakland? Why is this not a total blow out?
If TB wins, eagles have no chance
i think thats it
by AustonianAggie on Dec 28, 2008 2:43 PM CST up reply actions
Philly gets in with:
Win over Dallas
& TB LOSS & MIN LOSS OR CHI LOSS
by DieSlowKeyshawn on Dec 28, 2008 2:43 PM CST up reply actions
the odds of this are astronomical,
yet, it appears all three are going to lose. I cannot believe it. It’s going to be solely up to the Cowboys to take it for themselves. I’m gonna be sick.
We got help last week, Philly got the help today.
Best team will win and go to the playoffs. Just sucks the game is in Philly.

You want to know what I want to see from our Boys today??
I just want to see them play as hard as the Rams are playing today against a good team. Nothing in the world to play for, winning will hurt their draft position, and yet they are going toe-to-toe with a very good Atlanta team. Hopefully, the Cowboys play with the same heart.

I was going to criticize ATL for not yet putting STL away...
…but then I remembered STL blew us out.

Im SOOOO glad Dallas doesn't need anyone
to lose …. win and you’re win baby!!
They've done studies, you know. 60% of the time it works, every time.
exactly, I'd rather go win and get in, period
forget about everyone else…. If the bucs lose and minn or Chic lose, that’ will just make for an even better game..
Come on Lions ...
I’m hoping for ya!
They've done studies, you know. 60% of the time it works, every time.
shhhh, I have 4 to 1 odds on 250
I need them to lose, made the bet after week 6 that the lions wouldn’t win a game, brother in law is a lions fans….
Weather is good... Romo's confidence in the deep ball? Not so sure at this point.

I wonder if the reverse is true about momentum going into the game.
We thought Philly would be deflated knowing they didn’t have a chance. Now that the improbably odds have been secured, Philly will be ecstatic. Will Dallas be deflated?

True... but Philly will be playing with a head of steam... will we be able to match it?

Brees
is about 20 yds away from breakin Marino’s record, isn’t he?

didn't marino go to his only SB that year?
makes Brees’ record seem less glamorous
that said Brees is a tribute to contemporary Texas HS football QB play

I want Philly to play playoff football...
I want them playing for a spot…It’ll be all the more satisfying to end their season in their house. And every game in the playoffs is “do or die”. If we can’t win that kind of game to get in the tournament then we really don’t need to be there…but that’s just me.
Oakland stuffed at the goaline.
Will they go for it?

I was just in the midst of thoroughly cursing the football gods for Philadelphia's new-found life when i realized...
we’ve done this to ourselves….there were SEVERAL games we should have won, any of which would have (possibly) relieved us from being in today’s pressure situation. The good news is, we have a team that is MORE than capable of whipping the green birds a$$es today, even in their own house.
We have the physical weapons covered…so this will be a good test of our mental strength….the real question is – do the Cowboys want this win as bad as WE want it for them? I sure hope so, and being the eternal fan optimist, I say yes they do (want this win), and they will get their butts our there and take care of some business.

There ain’t enough room in the playoffs for both of us
Wow
Eagles are freaking lucky as hell

1st pass of game going to Roy Williams
they actually did that 3 games in a row at one point, all 3 incompletes
I'm in the money money money $5500 woohooo!!!
thank you Raiders!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Come on Greenbay, beat them Lions for another $1000 would be nice
And can I get to the number two spot in my other pool for $2500.
Cowboys winning would be a nice topping for the day
