Dallas Cowboys vs Atlanta Falcons

[SintonFan_inAustin]

Seems like every game has been a must win for the Cowboys but this is a must win if they still have hope for a first round bye. Have to watch it on TV at my cousins house, my Sister had tickets to the game in Atlanta, but i couldnt make it:(

[VanKampen]

actually if they lose this game, they will be holding on for dear life to a wild card spot because the winner of the eagles/giants game will take over first in the nfc east, the falcons will take over a wild card spot, and they will have to beat the eagles for sure next week. i'm 95% sure the cowboys wont be in the playoffs because they will lose tonight.

If they lose tonight they have the Eagle comming in next monday night. If they win that game they would retake control...NOW I am not saying I wont them to lose in anyway, but if they do it is not the end of the world

[Chris Hart]

IMO, this is a must win game for the Boys. Mostly for their psyche, not playoff standings. I think if they lose this one, they will go into the tank for the remainder of the season. I just hope the game they had won against Washington doesn't end up keeping them out of the playoffs, like the game against the Skins did last year. That would make me puke...

[eagles_victory]

its a huge game for dallas the really should win agaisnt a beat up Falcons team... however the real decision is to listen to Gum-Ball and Colinsworth on NFL Netword or these local guys on 21.

[stxfootballfan]

T.O. has torn ligaments in finger, Drs gave him 2 choices
1. Have surgery and be out rest of season
2. Keep playing and never be able to bend finger again

He choose #2

[eagles_victory]

vermils voice is going to be so annoying tonight

[piratebg]

Is there a webcast for the game. Can someone post the link.

[VanKampen]

romo looked god awful on the first drive and now the cowboys defense is having trouble containing vick

[VanKampen]

falcons punt and now the cowboys have their chance to suck again on offense.

[kepdawg]

Romo got it off before the shot clock expired? :confused:

[VAMike]

I predict Vermiel will not last the game. This is annoying as heck

[piratebg]

I am annoyed beyond words at Dick Vermiel's voice. I wish he would shut the hell up. If this is NFL TV's idea of a good time, they got another thing coming.

[VAMike]

I turned the audio off and am listening to Tatum game while wathcing Cowboys

[kepdawg]

First NFL network broadcast I've seen. It sucks!:mad:

[piratebg]

Romo intercepted. Atlanta ball at the Dallas 12. :mad:

[piratebg]

Touchdown Atlanta
11:11 2nd

14-7 Dallas

[eagles_victory]

i think vermil has a crush on faulk

[VanKampen]

romo needs to learn to release the ball a little higher so he doesnt have more tipped passes than completions this game.

[PHS Wildcats]

TD Falcons!!!:clap:

[piratebg]

Cowboys go 3 and out. Falcons drive 63yds and score. Tied at 14. 6:30 left in half.

[VanKampen]

romo sucks and anthony henry sucks

[VanKampen]

Okay, fumbles would be a reason to consider a change. Getting killed? It's football! Return men are going to get killed from time to time!

[VanKampen]

akin ayodele is an idiot and why was a little kid trying to cover alge crumpler on third down?

[piratebg]

TD Atlanta with 19sec left in the half.

[piratebg]

:D oops

[PHS Wildcats]

TD Falcons!!!!:clap:

[Bandera YaYa]

Wow, this game is WILD!!!!! :clap: :clap:

[VanKampen]

not wild. just the cowboys choking.

[piratebg]

Not too good of a showing for the Cowboys so far.

Romo 11-15-1 132yds 2TD
Vick 6-10-1 121yds 3TD and 29yds rushing(he leads the game in rush yard)

[VanKampen]

well this is the second straight game the cowboys have given up 21 points in the second quarter. at least romo is throwing to TO.

[VAMike]

Hopefully he went to bed to nurse his sick throat

[PHS Wildcats]

Originally posted by Snydertigersrul

His voice gave out

[VanKampen]

4 more plays until atlanta gets its first lead

[VanKampen]

3 more plays and atlanta is at dallas' 20 or so

[VanKampen]

atlanta will score this play.

[VanKampen]

ok i was wrong. atlanta is at big D's 7

[VanKampen]

TD FALCONS!!!!! and guess what?!?!?! they threw the ball to a back coming out of the backfield. looks like atlanta watching the saints game.

[piratebg]

That's 4Td passes for Vick tonight

[eagles_victory]

i want to play fullback against the cowboys next week

[PHS Wildcats]

u called it, 6 play drive:clap:

[piratebg]

Actually it was a 7 play drive. He was close though.

[PHS Wildcats]

oh my bad I missed a play

[charlesrixey]

what is the score now?

[piratebg]

I hope the Dallas offense woke up at halftime because they are not going to get any help from the D.

[Txbroadcaster]

Everyone keeps trashing the safeties for the Cowboys, but at some point the DC has to take the blame, the SAME play works over and over again...SAD

[piratebg]

You hit the nail on the head. The trouble on defense for three years has been the coordinator, who is still employed in Valley Ranch

[piratebg]

Gramatica hits a 48yd FG. Falcons up 28-24 7:17 3rd

[piratebg]

Don't know why I keep doing that. :doh:

[VanKampen]

cowboys offense chokes because romo doesnt know how to read a blitz

[Txbroadcaster]

Originally posted by VanKampen

actually Barber went to wrong side of line. Romo read it, there was nothing he could do

[piratebg]

Wow. Cowboys force the Falcons to punt. First since the first quarter I belive. Maybe things might be taking a turn for the better.

[kepdawg]

Parcells looks like he did when Bledsoe was QB.

[VanKampen]

omg. at least romo made up for the dumbest play in cowboys history. actually 3rd dumbest. leon lett still has the first two

[piratebg]

[piratebg]

1st and 10 Cowboys at the Atlanta 17. Come on Cowboys!!!

[piratebg]

TD Marion Barber!!!!

[piratebg]

Cowboys take the lead back 31-28 with 2:32 left in the 3rd

[VanKampen]

why cant they just have a linebacker man up on a runningback every play? who is the DC for dallas?

[piratebg]

Dallas D make a big stop on 4th and 1!!!!

[LitanyofFury]

Is it just me or is it really freaking annoying that the average fan can't even watch this game because it's only being shown on the NFL network?

LAME!

[VanKampen]

that gumbel guy makes a point to let everyone know that marion barber is checking in for julius jones every time it is 3rd down. barber is the 3rd down back. geez:doh:

[piratebg]

TO came out????????

[KTA]

update?

[piratebg]

Watkins int Vick at the Dallas 20. Cowboys kneel it and win 38-28 and I think secure a playoff spot.

[KTA]

appreciate the updates guys;)

[piratebg]

QB Comarison for the Night

Romo 22-29-1 278 2TD

Vick 16-24-1 237 4TD

Both teams could never really solidify their running games, but both QBs threw some big passes.

[Bandera YaYa]

..just when I thought, well TO might be an OK person.......he SPITS in the face of a Falcon player.....man, this guy is either totally INSANE or he pulled another publicity stunt...it's all over the news now......he admitted doing it...said he was sorry and was "time to move on". What a LOSER. I wish they would kick his crazy a$$ outta the NFL. Blah. :mad:

I agree VERY STUPID..BUT it is not like DeAngelo HAll is a saint, love his play but he is one of the biggest instigators in the NFL

At least one of Leon's didn't cost the Cowboys a game because the Cowboys were far ahead.
And don't forget in the Super Bowl when the Bills were ahead by 7 and were possibly starting a drive when Leon caused a fumble that was returned for a td and thus tying the game and changing the momentum to Dallas who went on to win the game.
And also who knows that mistake against Miami that cost them the game might have been the thing that really brought the Cowboys together. After that game they didn't lose the rest of the season while Miami didn't win a game the rest of the season.
So maybe things worked out for the best after all.

I mean, just who does TO think he is???? Ha...now that's a loaded question!!!! :crazy: :crazy: :crazy1: :crazy1: :crazy1:

[VanKampen]

TO is very immature but he's a hard worker and a great football player.

[VAMike]

Your defintion of a "great football player" please?

[VanKampen]

Rec Yards Y/G Y/R Long TD
793 11575 74.7 14.6 91 112

is that good enough?

When it comes to professional sports the answer is NO, character is not included when talking about someone who is a great player and that is just the sad truth.

If character is included on greatness than Lawerence Taylor is not great, in baseball Ty Cobb is not great. Character is awesome in a great athelete, but is not always a pert of a great athelete's make-up

That is the truth in pro sports. Its a business first and making money is what its all about. So if u are great at what u do, character dont matter to the team as long as they win.

[SintonFan_inAustin]

Terrell Owens is the great example. We all hated when he was a eagle me included but now hes on our side and more than half like him now:D
