How the hell did Sean Payton ever get the tag of offensive genius? What was that, 5 straight times he took Bush out of the game and ran Pierre Thomas straight into the line on key short yardage downs?

I'm beginning to think it's not all Reggie's fault he hasn't really done anything so far in his career. More often than not, when they call his number it seems to be either a slow developing run or a blatently obvious swing pass.

PurdueBrad · 09-21-2008, 07:24 PM

Yeah, I got some really nice points which I needed since I was facing the Ravens D. So I'll take it, just hoping Big Ben is fine.

DeToxRox · 09-21-2008, 07:26 PM

Awesome start for the Pack as Grant fumbles and no one touches Adam Jones, letting him get 20 yards on a return.

Arles · 09-21-2008, 08:07 PM

Yeah, not too bad. 6-3 lead after an early turnover.

Dr. Sak · 09-21-2008, 08:12 PM

I wonder if Ben would've taken a pay cut had he known how bad his line was going to be.

CU Tiger · 09-21-2008, 08:13 PM

Wow wat a crazy play.
Romo in the grasp makes a nice short throw, wr receiver get hit ball pops straight up in air, Whitten catches it on way down and picks up 8 more....

Izulde · 09-21-2008, 08:16 PM

I love the Ravens D and Reggie Bush for making up for screwing up by benching Ronnie and Fasano.

Beautiful run by Felix Jones! Feel that Razorback pride!

MJ4H · 09-21-2008, 08:34 PM

I miss Felix

But he rulez and I'm now a Cowboys fan.

I guess maybe he thought they wouldn't be able to get the team out there in enough time? I'm pretty much grasping for straws for any clue as to what the fuck went on today. Just an unnacceptable performance by both the OC, and tomlin, and the offensive line.

Eh, maybe i'm optimistic, but I really think Bush will go for 1000/1000 this year with 100 catches and 15-20 tds.

I don't see anywhere in his post where he says he is giving up the Rams.

DeToxRox · 09-21-2008, 09:30 PM

I hate to say it but the Cowboys look very legit.

Then again, it's also September and not January.

Karlifornia · 09-21-2008, 09:35 PM

Nice punt.

DeToxRox · 09-21-2008, 09:37 PM

These personal fouls today are pretty touchy.

BrianD · 09-21-2008, 09:53 PM

No offensive interference there?

EagleFan · 09-21-2008, 09:54 PM

Got away with a push off there.

MikeVic · 09-21-2008, 10:42 PM

Just saw the Dolphins/Pats highlights... a lot of direct snaps and Pennington as WR eh? Haha.

Cringer · 09-21-2008, 10:44 PM

Well, not what I was hoping for. It wasn't horrible I guess, so I will try to look at the bright side. Not tonight though.

Cowboys are simply the better team right now. Hopefully the Packers will be able to match-up and play with them better at the end of the year but as of now they are not up to the task. No touchdowns (when it matters) is not going to get the job done, and when we had to settle for FG #3 I knew it was over and I was not happy about it. In Tampa next week, not exactly easy.

Tasan · 09-21-2008, 10:48 PM

What I am waiting for is the Cowboys to actually play an error free game, or at least close to it. If they do that, they'll put up 50. I'd say if they don't get rid of the errors, its going to get them, but they've put away 2 of the best in the NFC WITH all those errors.

Oh and in your face ESPN writers, and Dallas Morning News traitors.

If it is any consolation the Giants lost week one to Dallas last year and got schooled by GB week 2 and look how it turned out. GB will be allright.

Welcome to the family, MJ.

I didn't get to see the game tonight, but I love seeing the Cowboys pile up some big rushing numbers. That's what we'll need to do in December and January when it gets below 60 degrees and Tony has to put on gloves...

Heck, ROMO hasn't had a really good game yet this year, at least numbers wise. It's going to be great once all the receivers are 100% and they really start to click...

Oh, I am not worried a bunch like it may have sounded. I am just admitting that as of right now Dallas is clearly the better team and earned the win. I kind of wish I had some excuse for the Packers, but they just didn't play well enough. (A good excuse would have been all the DB injuries before and during the game, but wouldn't you know the Cowboys beat us with the run and defense more then the pass)

One thing I am hoping for, though not counting on, is when DT Justin Herrold (or whatever the first round pick from last year is named) comes back after week 6 sometime. If the guy can stay healthy for a bit he has a chance to help against the run, maybe. I don't like seeing our D getting run on so much. Peterson in week 1 and Barber/Jones this week though is going to test any run defense I guess.

JeeberD · 09-22-2008, 12:58 AM

Oh, I heard on the radio today that Romo is 13-2 for his career on the road. I find that record simply amazing...

I just heard on the radio that Romo is 0-2 in the post season AND directly cost his team both games with a late game choke. I found that simply amazing.

EagleFan · 09-22-2008, 06:42 PM

dola: I think all the opposing teams have to do is change the calendar in the visting team's locker room to say January whenever the Cowboys are in town.

0-2 in the post season qualifies as amazing? It's not such a big surprise that a QB mistake costs a team a game. After, it's the only player besides the center to get his hands on the ball every play.

Buccaneer · 09-22-2008, 08:52 PM

It is so cool for the Jets to have no defense and Favre being Favre. Go Bolts.

fantom1979 · 09-22-2008, 08:57 PM

I am curious why there is all this talk about Farve learning the playbook, while Pennington goes 17 for 20 with the Dolphins yesterday.

DeToxRox · 09-22-2008, 09:03 PM

People still think the Pats won't win the AFC East?

I hope they think it'll be the Bills who win it then.

John Elway has lost his first two playoff games. He's no good at all!

Man, that Peyton Manning has lost his first three playoff games. He's never going to amount to ANYTHING!!1!!

BishopMVP · 09-23-2008, 03:34 PM

EagleFan must have been joking. There's no way a Philly fan didn't know Romo blew both games already.

Coffee Warlord · 09-24-2008, 09:54 AM

Bears cut Mark Bradley, making the only player left on the Bears from the entire 2005 draft class is...Orton.

Someone from an Ohio team with dirty plays against McGahee? Sounds familiar to me.
