Paranoid
This game seriously worries me. Let's just get the win and get out of Dodge.

I'm not so concerned
I have a strong feeling Romo will redeem himself
I'm ready to see
how we respond to last week.tonight is is a MUST-WIN!
agreed he makes collinsworth sound interesting
Woo hoo, we're on offense
Wow, fumbled snap...oops
Nice Crayton...1st down
That's one more passing first down than last week
by Dave Halprin on Dec 22, 2007 7:19 PM CST up reply actions
On 3rd down
by Dave Halprin on Dec 22, 2007 7:19 PM CST up reply actions
thumb looked good on that one
i'm sure the romo thumb cam will be a feature throughout the game
Fasano 1st down
penalties are killers
Boy JuJo and Hoyte
are a seriously underwhelming combo. I'd be surprised if we keep hoyte next season.
Hoyte did have one nice wham block
that sprung Barber for a double-digit gain.
But that's the only time I really saw him produce.
time for the defense to throttle them!
So I guess it's safe to say
the thumb is NOT ok.

Nice stop D
Hatcher!
Alright Romo,Lets put some points on the board
I'd like to see a steady dose of MBIII
Witten
Is Tony looking a bit indecisive or what?
It's a good thing the line is giving him a solid 4 seconds or so
by MrMojok on Dec 22, 2007 7:37 PM CST reply actions
MB3 making up for it
it's mostly commentary, unfortunately
they'll show live feed from time to time, but not the full game. Blah.

Paytrick Cratton! Get this guy OUT of the booth!
by MrMojok on Dec 22, 2007 7:41 PM CST reply actions
haha...i caught that too
MB3!!!
T.O. !!!!!! TD !!!!
YEEEEEEEEEEEAH!!!
by Nelson @ Blogging The Boys on Dec 22, 2007 7:43 PM CST reply actions
Good drive
despite the generous spot...HaHa
at least we're scoring more than last week!
When you guys watch it again
you'll see MB3 didn't go down, he powered forward over the line, they actually got it right.

Internet Radio
The game isn't on The Ticket anymore...they're talking college basketball.
Anyone know where I can hear the game?
that coulda been disastrous
True
I'd advise Romo against that move in the future.

Punt... blah
Missing Watkins
NFL.com viewer stinks
blah blah blah, Bill Parcells and Miami, blah blah blah...

Nice play Tank
Tank is clogging it up
Nice job defense
can we get a sustained drive this time
and get up by two scores, Carolina is hanging around too long in this game for my liking
defense is looking good
but we can't allow them to hang around though. we need another score to put some pressure on them
Flozell
glad we got that one out of the way
I frickin' love MB3
New theory
The cowboys start JuJo to read how the defense reacts then brings in MB3 when they are ready to get serious.
MBIII
looking awesome!
They're defending
the bootleg to Witten very well
Owens looks gimpy
Hope TO is OK
he looked like his leg was hurting him
MB3 is da man
He loves getting elected to the Pro Bowl
TD Barber
Team's looking much better tonight.

It's so nice to have a running game again
Funny How We Always, Always
Have success running the ball against Carolina. Always, even if their defense is top-flight.
I had to go to the store.
What were you guys talking about up above where you said Romo did something that looked scary and could have been disastrous?
by MrMojok on Dec 22, 2007 8:15 PM CST reply actions
he called a timeout when the ball was snapped
STOP THAT CRAP!
I'm getting tired of people ripping off big runs on the D
by MrMojok on Dec 22, 2007 8:18 PM CST reply actions
Now Newman is shaken up
newman walking gingerly
Reeves got cooked
Ouch.

Nice job Sam
No T.O. so far back from the injury
He's going to the locker room
by Dave Halprin on Dec 22, 2007 8:23 PM CST up reply actions
Wow, the camera
followed right to the x-ray room, usually don't see that
by Dave Halprin on Dec 22, 2007 8:24 PM CST up reply actions
So as far as WR
we got Hurd, Crayton, and Isiah Stanback? Is that right?
by MrMojok on Dec 22, 2007 8:23 PM CST reply actions
me too hope it isn't serious
Folkin-a
T.O. was at least smiling walking down the hall, maybe it's not that bad.
High ankle sprain
If it was a high ankle sprain, he sure as heck wouldn't be walking on it
This is horrible
PLEASE don't let there be a snapped tendon or something, please just let it be a strain, a pull....
by MrMojok on Dec 22, 2007 8:31 PM CST reply actions
Now Ratliff has a bad knee
ratliffs knee is hurt as well
Nice Henry!
INT!!
Henry has a GREAT nose for the ball
He seems to just position himself in the right place SO often
by MrMojok on Dec 22, 2007 8:34 PM CST reply actions
Let's just hope these injuries
are minor. We can win tonight and next week without all our stars but we need them ALL when the playoffs start.
haha...you could utter that phrase anytime during
and have a valid point
Good job Austin...1st down
that ending wasn't too swift
maybe left 3 on the board. The T.O. injury! We need a report.
Horrible way to end the half
What an up and down first half but I'll take the 10 point lead, all thing considering.
not that much
32 attempts in a half is WAY TO MUCH!
I Hope Garrett Doesn't Contract
Mike Martz disease, Andy Reid strain.
Symptoms are an excessive infatuation with the pass, even when it appears counterproductive.
Shake out of it, Jason! Just run the ball, mix in the occasional pass, and this is an easy win.
We're all right (minus injuries to TO/T-New/Rat)
Even if we pass more, as long as we're running more than we did in the 4th qtr of that loss to Philly... and we're winning and dominating Time of Possession... that should get us the "W."
Plus, our D needs to keep putting pressure on Moore, stopping the run, and not giving up any BIG plays like the huge run by DeAngelo Williams and the TD to Steve Smith.
On a side note, you gotta laugh at Smith's "Fred Sanford This-Is-The-Big-One... I'm-Comin'-To-Join-You-Elizabeth" after he scored his first TD in who knows how many games. I'm sure glad I didn't have him on my fantasy team this year... with all the QB problems the Panthers had this season.
I Do Not Understand
Those last three plays.
Especially the last play, either it has to be in the end zone or out of bounds for a first down.
I just don't understand Garrett's play calling from the time we got to fourth and three.
Schefter is freaking me out
don't say Achilles
I know Grizz!
The NFL network are making it sound so ominous. How bad could it be if he is walking around? Certainly not season ending.
Too much passing
32 passes for a guy with a bad thumb is just not a good idea.
These injuries are starting to freak me out!
Wade need to step up
Time for wade to get jason to mix in the run more. It was working well with barber in there. It may be more difficult with TO out but defense should be able to close this out
219 and counting
Great showing tonight.
Anyone... WTF on some of the play calls on offense. If it's 3rd and 10, is it really a paying proposition to have ANY pattern go for 6? And you have one play left before the half. I understand either try for TD or FG, but a pattern that takes the TE to the 6? Really? C'mon Red Ball. Let's play to win.
Oh, and I heard Dallas might be dealing Ireland to Miami. Just shoot me where I sit...
news flash, we're a passing team!
Braber has 11 carries and 80 yards, are you guys actually watching the game?
Terry...buddy...
we know we're a passing team, but tonight is really good night to show we can also run it. We need to get the running game going if we plan to make it far in the playoffs...
I'm not worried about the run to pass ratio
Just play MB3 the rest of the game and call some more draw plays. Let the man do his job!
I'd like to see us continue to dominate
Time of Possession while making Carolina take a lot of time to score... all without sustaining any more injuries.
If I was a smoker, I'd have gone through a full pack of Winstons throughout that first half.
Please Lord, let TO NOT have a serious injury... and please let no other Cowboy suffer a serious injury as well.
Achilles
Don't worry that it's a ruptured Achilles b/c if it were ruptured he would not be walking off the field...
