Cowboys vs Lions

[tulsaoilerfan]

So far it looks like Dallas has spent too much time running their mouths and not enough time preparing for this game:mad:

[Newbomb Turk]

yep.

[Newbomb Turk]

nice return - cept for letting Jason Hanson force him OB. :O

[r5TPsooner]

This game looks like it'll be a nailbiter until the end.

[Chuck Bao]

I'm getting this game live. I used to be a big Cowboys fan. It is 2am here and tomorrow is a public holiday.

And somehow, I'm still waiting for AD to play and willing to stay up in the off chance that Minnesota-SF is the second game picked up here.

BTW, do you think the refs are definitely favoring Dallas? It seems like that.

[85sooners]

:pop:

[r5TPsooner]

Anyone else just lose there Fox signal?

[Newbomb Turk]

Anyone else just lose there Fox signal?

yep - still out.

[Newbomb Turk]

oh great. KOKH lost the game feed so I am getting freezing rain updates. :rolleyes:

[r5TPsooner]

There are terrorists in Afghanistan!:D

[Newbomb Turk]

go for it.

[Newbomb Turk]

Now the D needs to step up.

[TUSooner]

Every time I switch to this game, the Cowboys score on the next play.
My awesome powers over the universe are for sale.

[Paperclip]

Too bad Barber couldn't have had a decent hole on 4th down there.

Biggest parting since Moses.

[Paperclip]

That throw and catch to Crayton was beautiful.

[Sooner98]

Way to miss that chip-shot field goal, Hanson. That's why you're the Lions, and they're the Cowboys. Thank you for playing.

[Newbomb Turk]

how many dang years has Jason Hanson been playing?

[r5TPsooner]

how many dang years has Jason Hanson been playing?


It seems since 1988 when I was a senior in high skool.

[r5TPsooner]

There went the damn signal again. Right before Dallas goes in for there 1st lead of the game.

Thank you Fox 25.

[Newbomb Turk]

Green Bay and friggin Oakland on CBS. :rolleyes:

at least there is golf (sort of) on NBC.

[Shneeg11]

witten fumbled at the 1

[Newbomb Turk]

witten fumbled at the 1
you have gotta to be ****ing kidding me.

[Shneeg11]

I'm not

[Newbomb Turk]

3rd down and they give Kitna all day. I'm watching golf.

[Paperclip]

Come on back. There's a chance.

[Newbomb Turk]

Come on back. There's a chance.

I've been peeking in on the game. :D

[Newbomb Turk]

nice catch TO.

[Shneeg11]

I'm nervous...

[Paperclip]

Who does Kitna think he is, Chase Daniel?

[Sooner98]

Unbelievable. The Lions had an EASY fumble recovery to win the game, and they just "Lioned" it away. Like I said earlier, you guys are the Lions, and they are the Cowboys. Sucks for you.

[Chuck Bao]

28 seconds left. Dallas at the 20 down by 6.

[Shneeg11]

nice catch TO.

I love him, and he has been great this year, but he drops so many passes that should be caught, it's infuriating (i think i spelled that correctly)

[Newbomb Turk]

no way that should be overturned.

[Paperclip]

That's a catch.

[Shneeg11]

No, that's a catch

[Newbomb Turk]

I love him, and he has been great this year, but he drops so many passes that should be caught, it's infuriating (i think i spelled that correctly)
I don't know if you spelled it right or not, but it pi$$es me off too. :D

[Paperclip]

YES!

[Chuck Bao]

Heh! TD Dallas!

[Shneeg11]

TOUCHDOWN COWBOYS

[Newbomb Turk]

son of a gun. what a game.

[Shneeg11]

son of a gun. what a game.

Glad you came back for the end Turk

[Sooner98]

Golly gee, the Cowboys just won. Never saw that coming against the juggernaut that is the Detroit Lions. :rolleyes:

[Paperclip]

I'm happy for Witten.

[Newbomb Turk]

Glad you came back for the end Turk

me too. beats the hell out of silly season golf.

[Shneeg11]

me too. beats the hell out of silly season golf.

It's not time for the PGA until Tiger decides it's time to start playing

[Newbomb Turk]

there are gonna be some guys throwing **** around in the Detroit locker room.

[Paperclip]

Ball game!

[Paperclip]

there are gonna be some guys throwing Jason Hanson around in the Detroit locker room.

Fixed. :)

[Widescreen]

Yeah, Cowboys@!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Sooner98]

Fixed. :)

Or, throwing around that #53 who should have recovered that fumble, that even a man with no arms could have recovered.

[r5TPsooner]

DAMN!

[jdsooner]

Cowboy luck will run out in the playoffs. Go Packers!

[Ardmore_Sooner]

Cowboy luck will run out in the playoffs. Go Packers!


I agree. The NFC is wide open in the playoffs, and I can't seem to think a team that hasn't won a playoff game since I was 10 is going to win the NFC Championship.

[r5TPsooner]

Dallas is weak at LB. If they get home field advantage I think they go Bowlin.

[AllAboutThe'O']

I'm happy for Witten.
Me, too. He's also on my fantasy team.:D

[Boarder]

Hey, Lions. Think they might be going to Witten. Again? Wow. Was Ryan Reynolds covering him all day?

[85sooners]

Cowboy luck will run out in the playoffs. Go Packers!lol hater:D

Green Bay always chokes in Dallas :D

[AllAboutThe'O']

Green Bay always chokes in Dallas :D
Yeah, what's Brett Favre's record lifetime in Texas Stadium? I think he has less than zero wins in that place.

[Ardmore_Sooner]

He has as many wins in D then Romo has in the playoffs. :D

[Curly Bill]

This game looks like it'll be a nailbiter until the end.

:D

[AllAboutThe'O']

He has as many wins in D then Romo has in the playoffs. :D
Tony won't be holding kicks in this year's playoffs. Just thought you would like to know.;)

[bluedogok]

Romo has one playoff game, Favre has had 9 games in Dallas.

[Ardmore_Sooner]

And it's still been ten years since the 'boys have won a game in the playoffs. ;)

[Curly Bill]

And it's still been ten years since the 'boys have won a game in the playoffs. ;)

Thus when it happens this year, it'll be all the sweeter. :D

[Ardmore_Sooner]

Romo was 16 the last time Dallas won a playoff game. ;)

[colleyvillesooner]

Cowboy luck will run out in the playoffs. Go Packers!

12-1 ain't luck, cheesehead :D

This years team has nothing to ok do with the last 10 years playoff win drought.

[Dio]

My favorite part of channel 25's ...um..."coverage" of this game was when the weather guy said "We've got it fixed, back to the game" and they cut to the Texans/Bucs game instead of the Dallas game. Way to go, knuckleheads.

[bluedogok]

The Packers had a long playoff drought before Holmgren took over there as well. They had not been in the playoffs since the 1968 Superbowl (1967 season) until they went in 1983 (1982 strike season) and didn't go again until Holmgren took them in 1994 (1993 season).

They know all too well about playoff droughts but I guess most bandwagon Packer fans (like my ex-brother-in-law) wouldn't know about the history of "their" team. But then what does he know, he is an OSU fan who didn't go to school there :D

I'm talking about current droughts! :D Give me some credit! ;)

[bluedogok]

I like the Packers, I just like Dallas better.

My grandfather played O-Line for the Packers off/on in the late 30's-early 40's being one of those players who was cut/called back a few times.

Good teams make their own luck much of the time. Cowboys made Favre look like the old man he is. It won't be the Pack that stops the Dallas 'LUCK'.

[fossil]

Romo was 16 the last time Dallas won a playoff game. ;)
And that has what exactly to do with what? You must have a point here, but then, maybe you don't.

[tulsaoilerfan]

Romo was 16 the last time Dallas won a playoff game. ;)
Just curious when was the last time Green Bay won a playoff game? They haven't exactly been lighting it up the last few years either

[goingoneight]

Romo is definitely teh awesome in the 2-minute drill. As soon as Dallas got the ball back I told my dad Dallas would take the lead, then questioned if they could stop Detroit from getting in game-winner FG position.

It is pretty evident today that the whole "let's bench Roy Williams" thing is a joke. The stand-in guy who is supposedly better got roasted from the Roybacker position. The thing about Dallas' defense right now is when they get a great pass rush, they leave a safety valve open and the rest of the unit chokes off a big play. When the secondary IS covering well, the D-line generally is sucking air while the quarterback stands tall and waits for the posts and breakdowns. Very inconsistent, but the team continues to show a lot of heart altogether.

Heart will go a long way, but it doesn't take you all the way. Inconsistent play and breakdowns generally end up costing you big time before it's all over. Refer to the 2004 Sooners team. Great offense, led by two Heisman finalists, one being a winnar... four NFL wideouts, stud freshmen TE and All-BIG 12 OL. Defense kinda chugs along inconsistently, with the offense bailing them out constantly, and then you find a game where the offense turns the football over (Orange Bowl GWWDNSO), who do you NEED to step up?

Dallas right now is very similar to how we were in 2004, with New England being the SUC. I know, I know... two completely different levels of the game, blah-blah... but think about it. If Dallas could have taken care of the football when they played New England, they had a great chance, and the game could have been down to the wire. Instead, they had to rely on their defense to bail them out of a couple of turnovers... and the defense, on it's home field, wasn't championship caliber, surrendering scores each time.

When heavyweights slug it out, the team with the better defense always wins.

Thank you, i thought it had been longer than that; they haven't been the same since Holmgren left, but they may have hit the lottery with their current coach.

[tulsaoilerfan]

I'm very concerned about the Dallas D when it comes playoff time; i think Romo and the offense will be fine, but the D leaves me scratching my head from time to time

[jwlynn64]

Had a bad game and gave up 27 to a fair offense. How many points did the Ravens put up on the leagues best defense last week? Are you worried about NE's chances?

[GrapevineSooner]

Tony won't be holding kicks in this year's playoffs. Just thought you would like to know.;)

And they changed the rules regarding the K balls. ;)
