5th penalty

 

[Iwannabeacowboybaby!]

Another penalty, it's keeping Philly in this game.

 

[Iwannabeacowboybaby!]

It's definately been different the last couple of seasons watching NFL games with the addition of all these teams running variations of the wildcat.

 

[Bankerguy]

Did Celek even catch that?

Edit- Yes

 

[EdwardCat]

I feel like a big play is coming up to D Jackson soon, or at least an attempt for a big play.

Is it his sheer lack of targets? Or is it is underwhelming presence on the field that leads you to believe this?

 

[Iwannabeacowboybaby!]

Good play by McNabb.

Favorable spot for Philly, he looked short to me.

They just haven't been using him much/getting him involved in the game plan and he's just too good for that to happen for too long.

 

[Iwannabeacowboybaby!]

We need a turnover!!!

 

[Reacher]

Good coverage by Brooking there.

 

[C-Bound]

Good WR coverage all around so far effin' everything up.

I agree that he is good. However, Philly has a propensity to completely ignore him from time to time. This game is clearly going in that direction. He will finish with about 2 catches for around 18-20 yards. McNabb can only see Avant, Celek and check down passes. He isn't looking down field at all.

Dallas will pull ahead and McNabb will start chucking bombs to catch up. If he gets time of course.

OK, it's 3rd and 4. As a defense, you know Philly doesn't want to take a sack so they're not doing some 5 step drop that'll take a lot of time to develop.

They're not going to run the ball....so what are they going to do.

It's going to be a quick 3 step on a slant, some type of screen or a little QB rollout with option to pass.

As a defense, I'd defend the short pass and bring pressure. It would leave us 1 on 1 on the outside but I'd risk it. An incompletion is a long field goal attempt.

Wow, they ran it up the middle on 3rd and 4, TY philly or should I say Marty Mortenwig. (sp)

I don't buy it. Dallas is already ahead. There is absolutely nothing to indicate that Philly will start going in a completely different direction than short, dump-off passes for tiny chunks of yardage.

HORRIBLE waste of 15 seconds by waiting to call timeout. How do teams fail so bad at these type of things?!?!

NFC East Football

 

[Ariakis]

It feels like Dallas has dominated but it's 7-6 and getting dangerous. The offense needs to put together a drive. Also getting nervous about Austin having a big fat 0 as atleast from what I can see on TV he isn't getting bracketed.

 

[Iwannabeacowboybaby!]

No stupid plays, meaning no INT's or turnovers trying to force something. We have a lead at the half and if you would have asked me if I'd be happy with the lead at the half, I'd say yes.

If they get a decent return, they I'd certainly try and move the ball up the field but if they somehow get pinned back, let's go to the lockeroom up 1 and talk about how to correct all those stupid penalties.

 

[fasteddie_21]

Is no one else livid at the waste of the 15 seconds after stopping Phill on 3rd and 4?

It's probably 7-6 because Dallas hasn't dominated the game.................

They're inside the 20, I'd be happy with them taking this to the half, I know that probably would not be popular, but.....

 

[Chaos Commish]

Nice!

 

[Bankerguy]

YES SIR-Crayton for 64

 

[fasteddie_21]

Crayton + slot = the right spot for him!

LOL, I'm taking this back! Nice throw by Romo, he threw right where the blitz was coming from, great read and throw by Romo.

 

[Bankerguy]

I really hope to see more screens in the 2nd half to combat these blitzes.

 

[Iwannabeacowboybaby!]

Crayton + slot = the right spot for him!

I agree, he's just a solid WR3 and good slot player with the ability to make some big plays wen given the chance.

 

[bentley]

What happened on the last play? Romo pretty mucked tucked it immediately. Did he just know that it was a lost cause from the start?

 

[joffer]

good idea. Witten should stay in and block

 

[MCguidance]

That was pure luck that Austin didn't have a TD on that.

 

[Please See Mine]

jesus

 

[Bankerguy]

Love this Olgetree kid

 

[fasteddie_21]

Ogletree playing big in big spots tonight! That's 3 big plays for him so far tonight!

 

[bentley]

Love this Olgetree kid

Yeah. Great stuff tonight. Has he been active all year?

 

[Bankerguy]

Cannot take a sack here

 

[Iwannabeacowboybaby!]

Gurode back in case someone didn't mention or notice.

I like that Romo took that sack after the big play rather than throw it into a crowd. Nice screen to the Big O, second one today that's went for a big first down. No timeouts......

 

[Bankerguy]

Love this Olgetree kid

He's played once-possibly twice.

 

[bentley]

Miscommunication between Romo and Williams on first down. What a surprise.

BS non-call on second down.

 

[joffer]

same play twice in a row

should have been PI

 

[Bankerguy]

Romo- you are lucky.

 

[joffer]

Witten standing in the corner of the end zone by himself

 

[MCguidance]

Someone was standing, waving in the back right corner of the endzone - wide open.

 

[itriple]

Austins inexperience finally is catching up.

 

[Bankerguy]

Icing a kicker on a 22 yard attempt. F u Reid.

that would be Witten...........Mr. Insignificant.

 

[fasteddie_21]

Hey, I'll take a 4pt. lead into halftime, though. Disappointed w/ the opportunity there, but at least we got 3!

He must have gotten caught with Mrs. Romo or something.
