DCStarJEllis It's 38 degrees, winds from the northwest at 11 miles per hour. Brrrrr.
Dec 6, 2009 2:34 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Some people were wondering if the Giants would wear their red jerseys today. They're in blue though. You're welcome for that.
Dec 6, 2009 2:40 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Been saying this for a few days, but I'll repeat it. Caught a very confident vibe in the locker room this wk. Cowboys feel good bout this 1.

Dec 6, 2009 2:47 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis No, but maybe CBoys chances for a 1st rd bye increase RT @THunley9 Saints are losing to Wash. Do Cboys chances at a Saints upset decrease?
Dec 6, 2009 2:53 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis They'll say what they say. Plyoffs all that rly matters. RT @ba71703 If they say Dec. is bad for Cboys, what if we lose today but beat NO?
Dec 6, 2009 3:02 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Talking bout Deion & Irvin? Cause TO is their boy. RT @Edcooksey y do all the guys on NFL netwrk diss Romo so much rehash the TO thing?

Dec 6, 2009 3:19 PM |
|
derekeagleton 7 yd pass to Witten on 1st down and 8 yd run up gut by Barber leads to another 1st down at DAL 43.
Dec 6, 2009 3:21 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Giants made four starting lineup adjustments on defense. That's a desperate move, and after all those losses, probably one that was needed.
Dec 6, 2009 3:22 PM |
|
derekeagleton 8 yd pass to Phillips (3rd TE) and 2 yd run up gut by Barber nets DAL their third 1st down of this drive.

|
derekeagleton Pass to Bennett leads to 3rd & 2.
Dec 6, 2009 3:23 PM |
|
derekeagleton Bennett drops the pass on an out route that would have moved the chains. Cowboys forced to punt from NYG 38.
Dec 6, 2009 3:24 PM |

Dec 6, 2009 3:29 PM |

Dec 6, 2009 3:29 PM |
|
derekeagleton Spencer pulls the ball away from Jacobs on 2nd down but Manning recovers for 2 yd loss.

Dec 6, 2009 3:36 PM |
|
derekeagleton DAL punts and NYG will begin their second drive at their own 38.
Dec 6, 2009 3:36 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Wade was upset NY wasn't called for delay for kicking the ball after that 2nd down incompletion. Newman was called for that earlier this yr.
Dec 6, 2009 3:36 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Very nice read by Gerald Sensabaugh in a short zone... watched Eli's eyes the whole time.
Dec 6, 2009 3:39 PM |
|
derekeagleton Jacobs gains 1 on 1st & 6 on 2nd. Incomplete pass on 3rd down leads to punt. Sensabaugh made a good play on the ball on 3rd down.
Dec 6, 2009 3:40 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Two Cowboys timeouts wasted on this defensive series. Only had 10 men on the field for the punt.
Dec 6, 2009 3:40 PM |
|

Dec 6, 2009 3:41 PM |

Dec 6, 2009 3:51 PM |
|
derekeagleton Run by Choice for no gain on 2nd down.
Dec 6, 2009 3:51 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis More red zone trouble for the Cowboys. That third down sack is on Witten and Romo. Witt needs to chip Sintim, & Romo needs to see him coming
Dec 6, 2009 3:53 PM |

Dec 6, 2009 3:56 PM |
|
derekeagleton False start on NYG and incomplete pass to Smith leads to 2nd & 15 at NYG 33.
Dec 6, 2009 3:57 PM |

Dec 6, 2009 4:04 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Cowboys are challenging the fumble recovery. First replay says they should win it.
Dec 6, 2009 4:05 PM |
|
derekeagleton Wade throws the red flag to challenge the fumble. Replay looks like Choice was down before the ball came out.
Dec 6, 2009 4:05 PM |
|
derekeagleton The play is overturned and Dallas keeps possession. It's 1st & goal at the NYG 4.
Dec 6, 2009 4:08 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Remember this one. Great throw and catch from Romo to Roy. Kinda looked like they were on the same page.
Dec 6, 2009 4:09 PM |

Dec 6, 2009 4:19 PM |
|
derekeagleton TD pass to Nicks. Newman attempted to jump the route but couldn't get there leaving no one between Nicks and the end zone.
Dec 6, 2009 4:21 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Newman was very close to intercepting Nicks' TD. Maybe if he wasn't playing 10 yds off he would have. No reason to give Nicks so much room.
Dec 6, 2009 4:21 PM |
|
derekeagleton 1:46 left in the 2nd quarter. DAL 10 NYG 7.
Dec 6, 2009 4:21 PM |
|
derekeagleton Felix returns kick to DAL 35 giving DAL good field position for a potential score before the half.

|
derekeagleton Offside NYG gives DAL 1st & 5 at DAL 40.
Dec 6, 2009 4:25 PM |

Dec 6, 2009 4:26 PM |

Dec 6, 2009 4:27 PM |
|
derekeagleton Screen pass to Barber and Barber fumbles. Umenyoria recovers and returns the ball to the DAL 28.
Dec 6, 2009 4:28 PM |

Dec 6, 2009 4:30 PM |

|
derekeagleton Incomplete pass on 1st & goal. Manning under heavy pressure.
Dec 6, 2009 4:31 PM |

Dec 6, 2009 4:32 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Another goal line situation, another run right at Bobby Carpenter. He's a liability down there, simple as that.
Dec 6, 2009 4:32 PM |
|
derekeagleton 28 yds 4 plays :45 drive time to take the lead. :19 left in the half. NYG 14 DAL 10.
Dec 6, 2009 4:33 PM |
|
derekeagleton 2 passes to Romo move DAL to their 49 with :04 left in half. Then a pass to Austin moves DAL to the NYG 39. DAL will attempt the 57 yd FG.
Dec 6, 2009 4:37 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis @Sportgam I have no idea what you're talking about, but if you don't like it, don't follow me.
Dec 6, 2009 4:37 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Wade said this week he would let Buehler kick the field goal if it was 58 yards or too long for Folk. Soooo...
Dec 6, 2009 4:39 PM |
|
derekeagleton Folk's kick was short. A little skirmish erupts near the NYG sideline and Flo gets a penalty that's declined by NYG. The half is done.
Dec 6, 2009 4:39 PM |
|
derekeagleton NYG 14 DAL 10 at the half.

Dec 6, 2009 4:58 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis HA... Jenkins said It's the Roc! Very big play by the second-year corner. Cowboys have come to expect that from him.
Dec 6, 2009 4:59 PM |
|
derekeagleton Jenkins intercepts the pass in the end zone. Spencer creates the pressure to force the throw and Jenkins goes up to get the ball.
Dec 6, 2009 4:59 PM |
|
derekeagleton Austin catches a slant for 17 yds to DAL 37.
Dec 6, 2009 5:01 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis I don't know how they missed the pass interference. That's awful.
Dec 6, 2009 5:04 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Sorry for the silence, we've been getting that floating whale over capacity message. What do we think tweeps?
Dec 6, 2009 5:34 PM |
|
derekeagleton sorry for delay. Twitter was screwed up. DAL scored on a nice drive (Williams TD catch) and NYG scored on a one play 74 yd pass to Jacobs.
Dec 6, 2009 5:34 PM |
|
derekeagleton NYG has the ball at their 17.

Dec 6, 2009 5:40 PM |
|
derekeagleton Screen to Felix on 1st down for a 4 yd loss.
Dec 6, 2009 5:40 PM |

Dec 6, 2009 5:44 PM |

Dec 6, 2009 5:44 PM |
|
derekeagleton Williams makes a huge catch for 25 yds to the NYG 27.
Dec 6, 2009 5:45 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis That 3rd and 14 pickup might have been Roy Williams' biggest play as a Cowboy. Anybody think of one bigger?
Dec 6, 2009 5:46 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Running game is going nowhere. Abandon it!
Dec 6, 2009 5:46 PM |
|
derekeagleton Another wide run by Felix for 1 yd loss. They can't seem to be able to run wide.
Dec 6, 2009 5:46 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis If Folk misses this one they may have to consider some other options.
Dec 6, 2009 5:47 PM |
|
derekeagleton Witten catches a pass for 4 yd gain. Then incomplete pass by Romo to Choice.
Dec 6, 2009 5:48 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Like I said . . .
Dec 6, 2009 5:48 PM |
|
derekeagleton Folk misses the 42 yd field goal (ugly kick).
Dec 6, 2009 5:48 PM |
|
derekeagleton NYG takes possession at their 32.
Dec 6, 2009 5:49 PM |
|
derekeagleton OK...I'm officially worried about Folk.

|
DCStarJEllis Don't think they have a shot unless they hold NY to a field goal here.
Dec 6, 2009 5:53 PM |
|
derekeagleton Jacobs runs up middle for 4 yds.
Dec 6, 2009 5:53 PM |
|
derekeagleton Incomplete pass on 2nd down leads to 3rd & goal at the 5. This is a critical stop for the DAL defense with 7:33 left and 3 point deficit.
Dec 6, 2009 5:54 PM |
|
derekeagleton Manning throws a ball into end zone and barely misses Smith's finger tips for incomplete pass. NYG settles for the field goal.
Dec 6, 2009 5:55 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis 7:23 to go. We'll learn a lot about the Cowboys from here on out. It's not about heart and passion. It's about the ability to get it done.
Dec 6, 2009 5:56 PM |
|
derekeagleton 63 yds 8 play 3:15 drive time. 7:23 left in game. NYG 24 DAL 17.
Dec 6, 2009 5:56 PM |

Dec 6, 2009 5:59 PM |

Dec 6, 2009 6:01 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Not Orlando Scandrick's best game. That whiff of Hixon sure was costly. And this one is about done, folks.
Dec 6, 2009 6:04 PM |
|
derekeagleton Hixon returns the punt for a TD. Great kick by McBriar, but several CBoys failed to make the tackle. NYG 31 DAL 17. 5:33 left in game.

|
derekeagleton Romo overthrows a wide open Williams running down the sideline. Would have been a TD.
Dec 6, 2009 6:09 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis One of Marion Barber's worst games.
Dec 6, 2009 6:11 PM |
|

Dec 6, 2009 6:11 PM |
|
derekeagleton DAL defense forces 3 and out.
Dec 6, 2009 6:13 PM |
