Newman just not doing his thing this year. Gave up a long third down conversion by literally getting smoked by Finneran, then gives up the TD to White with a pretty sorry effort. Many more drives like that one to open the game and Dallas's D will be worn out.

Atlanta 7

Dallas 0

 

[BobbyLayne]

Falcons came out looking strong, Ryan 6-8 on the opening drive.

 

[Knobs]

3rd and long...Romo throws it to Roy Williams' hands...CLANK. Punt.

 

[Chaos Commish]

Dallas 3 and out. Barber stuffed, Romo pressured, Williams with a drop.

Good field position for Atlanta.

 

[lyon812]

Ryan sacked for the first time in 143 pass attempts--that's pretty amazing.

 

[Chaos Commish]

Ryan gets sacked twice and Atlanta punts. Great sign for Dallas.

 

[Chaos Commish]

Romo runs for it on 3rd and 18 gets about a yard or two away and takes a shot that shook him up, right to his throwing shoulder. Fumble recovered by Atlanta about to be reversed. 4-2 Dallas punting. Romo shook, possibly hurt.

 

[lyon812]

Dallas defense playing very well after that opening drive. Dallas starts at their own 40, Romo still in at QB.

 

[starting over]

is snelling splitting carries with "burner" turner?

He's Norwood's replacement, so expect the same sort of carries.

Great block Felix

I guess the worry was that snelling got carries on 1st down, not typical change of pace carry

 

[lyon812]

Roy Williams is so disappointing.

 

[Knobs]

Roy drops another as it smacks him in the hands...again...

 

[lyon812]

Falcons got a little going, but bad throw by Ryan results in an INT. Trying to force it to White will do that.

 

[Knobs]

I think Ware getting some pressure lead to the pick more than anything.

Definitely, but I counted three white shirts around White. Ryan shouldn't have gone there.

 

[Knobs]

I've lost count of the turnovers thus far. Falcons fumble, Cowboys ball.

 

[lyon812]

Pressure definitely caused that fumble. =)

edit: and just like that, as I'm typing, Austin a long TD. His train's still running!

 

[Knobs]

Miles Austin is the best wr on the Cowboys.

 

[landrys hat]

TD Miles!

 

[steelwind]

Miles Austin backs his previous game with a 59 yard TD bomb.

 

[walnutz]

No Choice? Game is not being broadcast here. Has he been on the field at all?

 

[Eviloutsider]

Barber with not the best of statlines so far.

 

[D'OHtis]

Choice is the best RB in Dallas.

Barber isn't going to last long in the league period if he continues to try to bounce everything out. He'll end up having the same success as Tim Hightower running the ball.

+1

 

[lyon812]

He's been on the field. Just caught a pass, and was lined up in the Wildcat. Jones has been getting the carries, though.

 

[Bogart]

ROMO!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[MCguidance]

UNREAL play by Romo.

 

[dickey moe]

HELL YEAH

 

[dickey moe]

Tony Romo is the best QB on the Cowboys.

 

[Bogart]

Tony Romo is the best QB on the Cowboys.

With 185 yards in the first half, is it just a given that he gets 300 yards every week?

 

[Andy Herron]

Great block Felix

I saw that too. Took him off his feet. Pretty impressive.

 

[scott72]

what's up with Barber? 1 yard??

 

[Knobs]

What's going on with Turner? He's a glorified goal line back.

 

[Bogart]

This game still feels scary. Way too many penalties.

 

[MCguidance]

Wheres that hole when Turner runs? Jesus.

 

[Knobs]

Snelling is looking pretty good. He's moving the pile, which is something Turner has been unable to do this game.

 

[lyon812]

I feel like they run Turner up the middle too much instead of bouncing him outside.

ETA: Though on those two runs, it was pretty effective. That'll teach me.

 

[MCguidance]

Glorified or not, he gets them TDs.

 

[Knobs]

A lot of rb's could take a page from Turner's book. Short and goal, plow straight ahead and keep moving those legs until it's a clear touchdown.

True, but there was a lot of space.

I can't understand why that space only appears in the red zone. Every other touch he's had no holes to run through, then they get near the end zone and it's open spaces. I don't understand how an o-line can be so night and day.

 

[Andy Herron]

And just like that, Miles Austin is over 100 yards again.

 

[lyon812]

Cue the "Is Miles Austin a two-week wonder" threads.

 

[Andy Herron]

Miles Austin has officially arrived. Mark it.

 

[Bogart]

Who would have guessed that the TO replacement was already on the team, not in Detroit last season?

I know it is still early, but Austin just looks to have "it". Most impressive after the catch.

 

[MrPhoenix]

Stone Cold Miles Austin with another TD. Wow.

 

[Knobs]

Another one for Austin. Roy is the suck.
