Week 8 Blog

[MannyIsGod]

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOo nice to see Witten getting involved... I didn't realize that was his first catch TD catch all year, though.

First monkey off Romo's back... GO COWBOYSFuck that, I'm only up by 3 and Tpark has Witten!!!! I can't take another one of those fucking TDs

[Melmart1]

I think he looks a lot more calm and poised today. Witten saved that pass, it wasn't pretty but he got the job done and his mobility alone is impressive. Plus, I just love that we have more throwing options since Witten doesnt have to friggin block for the Statue.

He definitely looks more poised today - I guess that's a full week of prep. He's also spreading the ball around better - TO, Witten, and even Crayton are getting in early in this one. I just hope he can curb the stupid mistakes like that pick in the 1st. Much rather have him making mistakes and learning than Bledsoe making the same mistakes he has for 14 years.

[Melmart1]

Hahaha, the Favre impression.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

I thought all quarterbacks had to stay in the pocket and wait to get sacked.

That's only for 14 year veterans from THE Washington State University.

If the O-Line isn't going to get the job done, Bledsoe has to sit so its sink or swim for Romo. I believe in my heart the kid is special and he will make mistakes but nothing like last Monday. I mean, putting him in like that last week was so fucking unfair its deplorable. But for him to come back looking calm like he did tonight speaks volumes. Unlike many, win or lose tonight, I still think the Cowboys stand a damn good chance at a wild card.


And Tony darling.. if the GF doesnt call, she is a fool. I will be happy to call :married:

[MannyIsGod]

God, watching Romo makes me hope Campbell is going to be the one taking snaps this week for the 'skins. That mobility is awesome.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

:lol

That T.O. wink...

[MannyIsGod]

Damnit, ANYONE BUT WITTEN.

[Melmart1]

Go Witten!!! :devil

[MannyIsGod]

SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK, com'on.

[Melmart1]

Go For It!

[MannyIsGod]

lol, lets see how much Parcels trusts Vanderfuck.

[MannyIsGod]

If he misses this, he's cut.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Is Kathy Ireland still available?

[MannyIsGod]

John Fox is an idiot.

[ShoogarBear]

Look at these stats, you tell me how fun it is to be in a press box by yourself and watch this game.Did you work in a little something about Burbank not being beautiful downtown?

I always got a kick out of all the people who said Romo shouldnt play because he has no experience - when you can't get experience without playing. Even if they don't make the PO this year it should be great for next year given they address the O Line and Safety positions in the offseason.

I was wondering what Romo did that a woman would drop a rich, now starting QB in the NFL just like that. Banging the sports groupies maybe??

[BeerIsGood!]

God, watching Romo makes me hope Campbell is going to be the one taking snaps this week for the 'skins. That mobility is awesome.

If gibbs and the skins are smart they'll make the move. Brunell is just another Bledsoe wasting time...

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Did you work in a little something about Burbank not being beautiful downtown?

All right, I admit it, I'm missing the reference.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Gibbs didn't put Campbell in when the Colts were blowing them out. That there should tell you something...

[Melmart1]

I agree, he has to start sometime. I didnt like his auspicious start but he is showing something out there. Four point deficit going into the half against the vaunted Carolina defense? I'll take it!

As for the GF... if he was banging groupies why would he be waiting for his phone to ring? He wouldnt care. I'll be his groupie though! Hope he likes white-looking Messicans.

[MannyIsGod]

If gibbs and the skins are smart they'll make the move. Brunell is just another Bledsoe wasting time...Word is that Campbell took all the snaps in the past week with the 1st team, but its was just a bye week. Hopefully come tomorrow the same thing happens. Then I'll believe its going to happen.

[MannyIsGod]

Gibbs didn't put Campbell in when the Colts were blowing them out. That there should tell you something...No shit, I didn't get it one bit.

[MannyIsGod]

Mel you're just damn greedy. Pick a gender and stick with it. You can't have everyone!

[Melmart1]

I bet I am the only person in this thread jumping over to "Desperate Housewives" during commercials :lol

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Fucking garbage yards are killing me...

I'll take it too... as for the white-looking Messicans: they're my vice so it's very much possible they're his too.

[Dirk Nowitzki]

The Broncos D is overrated shit. They cant pressure and they cant force turnovers and they have shown a lack of clutchness. If they lack both how the fuck are they so damn great? God overrated D and the Colts showed why. Well hey Plummer will lead you to a title still! :drunk :drunk :drunk

[ShoogarBear]

All right, I admit it, I'm missing the reference.Shit. I just set myself up.

It's a Johnny Carson reference. He used to always say the Tonight Show was broadcast from "Beautiful Downtown Burbank".

[scott]

John Fox is an idiot.

It would appear so... but looking at the replay it looks like the Cowboys (including Vandersuck) heard the whistle and stopped playing, which is what led to the block as much as anything else.

[ShoogarBear]

Word around here is the Brunell is the starter until the Redskins are mathematically eliminated.

[scott]

Anyone else notice that Tony Romo has already surpassed Brett Favre and Tom Brady in Madden's eyes... he's Joe Montana level in his first start!

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Shit. I just set myself up.

It's a Johnny Carson reference. He used to always say the Tonight Show was broadcast from "Beautiful Downtown Burbank".

"We get it, the Bear's old!"

[Melmart1]

I didnt know what to be for Halloween so my friend who is ultimate Pats fan and hates that Bledsoe isn't starting anymore said I should dress up as Tony Romo. Wear a Romo jersey and proceed to throw candy at the wrong kids. I gotta admit, I got a chuckle out of that one. Of course, he said this Tuesday. Let's hope that he eats crow after tonight.

[MannyIsGod]

Word around here is the Brunell is the starter until the Redskins are mathematically eliminated.I may root for the cowboys next week then. WTF kind of shit is that?

[samikeyp]

What's with the late flag? Make the call or don't but do it when it happens not an hour later.

[scott]

What's with the late flag? Make the call or don't but do it when it happens not an hour later.

No shit, politicking shouldn't be able to draw flags.

[samikeyp]

really...the Cowboys tonight don't need Jake's help getting flags! :)

[scott]

Keyshawn hooking up his old team!

[scott]

really...the Cowboys tonight don't need Jake's help getting flags! :)

Penalties are definitely killing us tonight, especially on the O-Line. Hopefully Gurode (with 2 first down negating penalties of his own) gets his shit together ASAP.

[Melmart1]

Keyshawn was talking mad shit about how he was better than TO... and he sounded... just like TO. He shoulda just kept his mouth shut.

[Melmart1]

I hope Witten scores the next TD :devil

[samikeyp]

I can live with that...as long as Dallas gets into the end zone! :)

[scott]

Some pressure on the QB would be nice... Delhomme isn't exactly the world's greatest caretaker... with some pressure we SHOULD be able to create a turnover.

[MannyIsGod]

God damnit Witten.

[BeerIsGood!]

at least it's a close game that's winnable on the road against a good team.

[scott]

Tony Romo, deliver us from Evil.

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

I wonder what Romo's QB rating would be if they called his Interception an incomplete pass like it should of been

[Melmart1]

Witten! :devil

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

God damnit Witten.

Let's go TPark.

(Clap-clap, clap-clap-clap)

[BeerIsGood!]

TO didn't make these bone head plays with the Eagles...

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

8/81.

Goddamnit.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Woot!

[BeerIsGood!]

Witten!!!

[MannyIsGod]

I think that did me in

[BeerIsGood!]

Romo should have started game 1... of last year

[Melmart1]

Witten!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MannyIsGod]

I had to lose at some point, but why did it have to be against Tpark?

[Melmart1]

Dude, it was T Park's week. ST Louis wins WS now this. I am sure he will return to form after.

[scott]

Witten!!!

[BeerIsGood!]

I had to lose at some point, but why did it have to be against Tpark?
1st his Cardinals come back from the dead to win the WS - it's just his week

[MannyIsGod]

Now He Drops It

[MannyIsGod]

:lol

by one fucking point.

[MannyIsGod]

Fumble Witten, Fumble! Thats what I'm rooting for now.

[Melmart1]

1st his Cardinals come back from the dead to win the WS - it's just his week
You sure you aren't 80? Cus you are slow! :lol

[scott]

Alright D... now how about some of that pressure on Delhomme?

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

:lol

by one fucking point.

Hey, Manny.

Week 3 called. It just laughed at you.



3 Manny (67.876 pts) defeated The Blaze (67.483 pts)

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Fumble!

[scott]

Dallas Ball!

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

The pride of San Antonio: Sam Hurd!

[scott]

SAM MUTHAFUCKIN HURD! Whoooooooooo!

[Melmart1]

Woooohoooooooo!!!!

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Argh, I think that's getting overturned.

[Melmart1]

UGH! Fucking challenge. THey better give this one to Dallas, they were robbed on the 1st challenge

[scott]

We got hosed on that Eli Fumble/Incomplete Pass last week... maybe the replay gods will exact some "no definitive evidence" karma.

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

It's real close, hopefully not enough evidence to overturn it

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Yes!

[Melmart1]

Fumbalaya!

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Fumblerooskie!

Fuck. Yes. Julius Jones!

[scott]

Julius whaaaaaaaaaaaa!

[Melmart1]

Waaaahooooooooooooooooo!!!!

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[scott]

Romo. to. TO.

Get used to hearing it boys and girls.

[Melmart1]

Romo 2/2 in 2-pt conversions! hahahahahaha

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Pressure, Dallas....PRESSURE!

[Melmart1]

This D is fired up. GO COWBOYS!!!!

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Did Jake just tell somebody to shut the fuck up?

[scott]

A long drive and a score here wins the game.

So it is written, so it shall be done. It's Romo time.

[Melmart1]

Beer is Good was going to go to bed! :lol

[Melmart1]

A long drive and a score here wins the game.

So it is written, so it shall be done. It's Romo time.
When I first read this, i thought it said so it is WITTEN, so it shall be done. Hahaha, I have Witten on the brain, seems like forever since we saw him catching the damn ball.

[MannyIsGod]

Joe, 102 to 56 is a bit funnier than week three. Biatcccccccccccch.

Damn, Jake Delhome is going to kill somebody and I don't blame him.

[Marklar MM]

The Lions didn't lose. W00t.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Goddamn false starts!

[Melmart1]

Yep. Romo gets TO involved.

[MannyIsGod]

why don't they just quit?

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Now blitz the fuck out of the Panthers and keep them deep/get a safety.

[scott]

WOOOOOOOOOOO... Mat McBriar... greated punter from the Southern Hemisphere in history!!! Make it happen right now D!

[MannyIsGod]

Why the fuck would you jump to catch a punt?

[Melmart1]

That was just beautiful. Coldnt have been better unless Dallas recovered.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

YEAH! Roy Williams!

[MannyIsGod]

Someone finally caught a Delhome pass.

[scott]

ROY WILLIAMS MOTHERFUCKERS!!! Overrate this!

[Melmart1]

Mr Overrated With The Interception!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Now put them the fuck away and let's come home 4-3.

[Horry For 3!]

Roy fuckin Williams

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Someone finally caught a Delhome pass.


:lmao

[scott]

Finally a penalty not against us!

[Horry For 3!]

Manny lost to T Park :lmao first ranked team loses to last ranked team

[Horry For 3!]

Get in the endzone Barber!

[MannyIsGod]

Manny lost to T Park :lmao first ranked team loses to last ranked teamWhats your record again?

[Horry For 3!]

Barber to give the Panthers a hair-cut.....

[Horry For 3!]

Barber to give the Panthers a hair-cut.....

[Horry For 3!]

Whats your record again?
I don't care, I am goin for next year.

[Melmart1]

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[MannyIsGod]

:lol

Oh, you're the new last place team.

[MannyIsGod]

I don't care, I am goin for next year.:lol

Nothing is going to change next year. You still won't be able to change the rule or the lineup in the middle of the week.

[Melmart1]

I hope all the peeps predicting the end of the Cowboys' season choke on their crow. Fuckers!!!!

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

:lol

It's funny 'cause it's true.

I never had to. I won 3rd place, if I didn't have to play Big Shot Rob's (1st place team) in the Semis, I would of won 2nd place in the Dynasty Basketball League last year.

[MannyIsGod]

I hope all the peeps predicting the end of the Cowboys' season choke on their crow. Fuckers!!!!Well, they're not on life support anymore but you have to admit they're not exactly looking great. Tonights game has a chance to be a bit of fools gold because Caroline played like complete shit especially in the 2nd half. Its a good win, but I still don't think the Cowboys are better than the Giants or the Eagles. And the Eagles aren't even very good right now.

They'll probably kick the shit out of my Redskins next week though. :(

[Horry For 3!]

Also, I played all the players that did the best this week. So :huh

[MannyIsGod]

I never had to. I won 3rd place, if I didn't have to play Big Shot Rob's (1st place team) in the Semis, I would of won 2nd place in the Dynasty Basketball League last year.Well, this time around you get to win last place. Hoorrrrrrrray for Horry.

[Melmart1]

I never had to. I won 3rd place, if I didn't have to play Big Shot Rob's (1st place team) in the Semis, I would of won 2nd place in the Dynasty Basketball League last year.
Seriously, dude. STFU. This is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. "I coulda won 2nd place if I didn't have to play the 1st place team"...

[Horry For 3!]

Well, this time around you get to win last place. Hoorrrrrrrray for Horry.
I might because I drafted all rookies this year in the basketball league.

[Horry For 3!]

Cowboys ball :smokin

[MannyIsGod]

Wow, Caroline is imploding. They need their bye week BAD.

[Horry For 3!]

Greg Ellis, niceeeeeee

I agree it could be Fool's Gold. However, as a fan who was very nervous tonight, I dont want to think ofthat. Just too fucking happy right now. Plus, I think that the Cowboys had a little to do with how Carolina played, too. Romo seems to fire this team up, they respond to him. That could mean a lot the next few weeks.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Delhomme comes through in the clutch...

[MannyIsGod]

Plus, I think that the Cowboys had a little to do with how Carolina played, too. Romo seems to fire this team up, they respond to him. That could mean a lot the next few weeks.Yeah, I'm impressed with Romo. But the thing that gets me is the Carolina drops. They were all huge, especially the Johnson one.

[scott]

I disagree on the fools gold. I've been saying from Week 1 that we are a QB away from being a serious contender in the NFC East. We could very well be 7-0 or 6-1 right now if not for horrid QB play. With that said, I'm pleased with 4-3 and I expect us to be 6-3 going into the Indy game.

[scott]

MB3... lowers the shoulder and... TD... BOOOYA!

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

The Carolina D isn't as good as advertised. Boller lit em up for 3 TDs...

Hard to judge Romo, but he looked good and made plays tonight...

C'mon Delhomme, one more turnover...

[Melmart1]

I disagree on the fools gold. I've been saying from Week 1 that we are a QB away from being a serious contender in the NFC East. We could very well be 7-0 or 6-1 right now if not for horrid QB play. With that said, I'm pleased with 4-3 and I expect us to be 6-3 going into the Indy game.
:tu

There is an outside chance I may be going to the Indy game. GO COWBOYS.

Your defense didn't play all that great against a mediocre offense untill the end of the game when the Panthers packed it in.

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

Everyone laughed when a few people in this forum called for Romo during pre-season.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

I could stand for Key to get a garbage touchdown right now in one of my leagues.

[scott]

Everyone laughed when a few people in this forum called for Romo during pre-season.

I'll look for the thread where I (along with others) called for him later.

[2centsworth]

Yeah, I'm impressed with Romo. But the thing that gets me is the Carolina drops. They were all huge, especially the Johnson one.
Johnson's was a big drop, but not the flares. Maybe they are good for first downs at best. What's encouraging is the playmaking ability of Romo.

[scott]

All part of the game, but Romo moved the ball with ease all game. The only thing stopping their drives were dumb penalties in the first half.

[MannyIsGod]

Man, I hope Mike Bell becomes the starter in Denver. I don't want to have to play Rueben Droughns.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

I could stand for Key to get a garbage touchdown right now in one of my leagues.


I'm with you, but a Delhomme'/Foster/Smith TO would help me more in the 250...

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

I think that's the cleanest jersey Bledsoe's ever come off the field with.

He should go roll around in the grass to make it seem like a normal game.

[2centsworth]

That kickoff returner Marshall might not survive the night.

[2centsworth]

Man, I hope Mike Bell becomes the starter in Denver. I don't want to have to play Rueben Droughns.
Tatum has turf toe, he's done.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Are the Panthers fans chanting for Romo?

[Melmart1]

I didn't want Romo at the beginning of the season. I will fully admit to that. And I have been a Romo girl all along, but I wasn't sure if it was the right time. More than anything I wanted to see how the O-Line was, and I thought maybe Bledsoe could handle a personality like TO better. Now there is no doubt, Romo is the man. I do feel badly for Drew though.

[MannyIsGod]

Johnson's was a big drop, but not the flares. Maybe they are good for first downs at best. What's encouraging is the playmaking ability of Romo.Those first downs would have been huge. A first down and some offensive rythmn as opposed to a frustrated QB and team? Hell, a postive gain in those situations may have been enough to keep the team from imploding the way they did.

Then you throw in the 2 late special team fumbles, and sure, Romo looked great, but he had A LOT going for him tonight. I'm not trying to take anything away from Romo but I don't think he takes the Cowboys from a below average NFL team to a team destined for the playoffs by any means. For one thing, he needs to do this again next week and the week after for it to be anything more than a single good game.

If anything, the best thing about tonight for the Cowboys would be that TO is probably going to be a much happier person in the lockerroom.

[MannyIsGod]

Tatum has turf toe, he's done.Oh, wow. I didn't know that, but thats good news for me as a Bell owner. Turf Toe is a bitch.

[Melmart1]

Those first downs would have been huge. A first down and some offensive rythmn as opposed to a frustrated QB and team? Hell, a postive gain in those situations may have been enough to keep the team from imploding the way they did.


You could almost apply this to TO's 4th and 2 drop last week vs. Giants. That would have been a HUGE boon to the Cowboys that could have won them the game had they scored on that drive. But somehow, everyone thinks the Giants are so much better than the Cowboys?

[MannyIsGod]

But somehow, everyone thinks the Giants are so much better than the Cowboys?To be fair, thats true. The Giants have been better all year than the Cowboys though, and they've won a few bigger games

[MannyIsGod]

There are situations like the drops in every game. The only point I was trying to make was that I think Scott is not being realistic about the strength of the Cowboys team right now.

[MannyIsGod]

Oh, and I'm going to work my Mark Brunell voodoo doll tonight. I want Jason Campbell to play against Romo.

[leemajors]

romo made the line look just a little better, defense and special teams made some big plays. i'm just glad that missed fg by the drunk didn't figure in as big as i feared it would.

[Melmart1]

It will be funny to watch Brunell next week. Cowboys fans know that pain.

[samikeyp]

I agree with Scott about the penalties. They made the win more difficult. The defense played really well and Romo was good. I am glad to see the Cowboys get a good win against a good team.

[samikeyp]

It will be funny to watch Brunell next week. Cowboys fans know that pain.

Very true.

Is Campbell the #2 for Washington...I thought he was third.

[leemajors]

Very true.

Is Campbell the #2 for Washington...I thought he was third.

i heard he got a decent amount of snaps in practice this week.

[scott]

Tyson Thompson broken ankle, will be out for awhile, if not the year.

[samikeyp]

That sucks...on a late hit too. The bastard that hit him should be out for as long as Thompson is.

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

Tyson Thompson broken ankle, will be out for awhile, if not the year.

That's horrible news, but hopefully Skyler Green can do well returning kicks

[MannyIsGod]

Campbell is the 3rd, but if there is a switch he'll become the #1. He took all the reps with the first team this past week, but we'll see what happens this week.

[samikeyp]

I think he is the future there.

[Hook Dem]

Those first downs would have been huge. A first down and some offensive rythmn as opposed to a frustrated QB and team? Hell, a postive gain in those situations may have been enough to keep the team from imploding the way they did.

It's fun for Redskin and Eagle fans to bag on the Cowboys when things are not going well but then refuse to give credit when due! You KNOW that Romo will be a different animal than Bledsoe!!!!!
