How 'Bout Them Cowboys?

Ok, another year and I'm posting about my boys.

I figured that it would be a high scoring game, but not that high. Had me on the edge during the entire game. The boys looked like they lost it in the second quarter but did a nice job of closing the gap before the half and pulling ahead in the end. We needed that second McNabb fumble, Whew!

So what the heck was that all about with DeSean Jackson? Reminded me of Superbowl XXVII when Leon Lett celebrated early and Don Bebe slapped the ball out of his hand.

Pretty exciting game. McNabb has lost his step I think. He should have run a lot more in that last series but he's afraid of being hit. I missed the majority of it but saw the end. The Cowboys seem to have a good vibe this year.

Go Chargers!

Wish the chargers hadn't gotten screwed. They really need to tell refs to blow the whistle when the ball stops, just in case. And the ref was looking right at the QB in that play, so entirely his fault. Dumb dumb. Anyways


As for the Cowboys, that was a pretty good game, it's good to see the Cowboys able to go ahead and beat the Eagles this year. That dropped play before the end zone was Awesome. And it screwed people that had McNabb as their Fantasy QB (My roommate) lol.. Since they got it on the running play next, he lost 6 points. Whoops.

Yawn.....

I only got to watch the 2nd half but the Cowgirls were very fortunate to win that game. Still nice to be in a good position in the division sitting at 2-0 but they appear to have some issues on defense.

Any question that the NFC East is the best division in football? After 2 weeks the conference is 6-2 and the only 2 losses are to teams in the division.

I agree with the Cowgirls being lucky but I do not agree with the NFC having the toughest division in football. It is a little early to make that call even with Brady being put on the IR.

If McNabb hadn't fumbled in the last quarter, they may have won the game. In either case, they both looked very good.

Or if McNabb had thrown a touchdown instead of fumbling they could have won as well. Strange how it's all part of the game though no?

I don't look as fumbling as a "Well if they hadn't they probably could have won." Because for one, you never know.. And two it's part of the game and skill of the players and team to either capitalize on it or get nothing from it. Romo had plenty of screw ups to help out the Eagles.

So true. Romo fumbled in the end zone and threw an interception and the Eagles scored on both turnovers. It could have gone either way. Pressure in the end is what counted, and esDee said it right, McNabb didn't do too much running even with all that time that he seemed to have.(Which does worry me about the Dallas D).

And uhh.. what was with that Hook and Ladder? They probably could have got the yards, without a gimmick like that piece of trash. Just bad play calling in the end by the Eagles, and McNabbs dumb decision to fall on the ball for the sack instead of tossing it to the sidelines.

Yeah, weird that he'd played like an ace up until the end then just started falling apart.

Not that I mind too much.

Hell, I haven't really paid attention to your Lions since you lost Sanders.
