DCStarJEllis Doubt that'll ever be surpassed here. RT @SonulGulati R we gonna surpass the 105,121 attendance record tnite? I'd think so.
Jan 9, 2010 6:38 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis @SonulGulati Some weren't happy w/ crowding in the party pass area opening night. I'd expect tonight's to be around 100K like last wk.
Jan 9, 2010 6:39 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis It's good. Crowd seems into it. They've got the white terrible towels pumping. RT @Jg_cr1222 how is the atmosphere around there??
Jan 9, 2010 6:40 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis It's closed. Keeping that sound and heat inside. RT @pinstripes213 Is Jerryworld open or closed tonite ?
Jan 9, 2010 6:45 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Anybody tired of hearing about how it's been 13 years since the Cowboys won a playoff game? Just wondering...
Jan 9, 2010 6:50 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis RT @b1775romo i am bro. im so nervous im sitting here telling my friends nd family to shut up
Jan 9, 2010 6:53 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis RT @chrizly72 I hope we don't have to hear that after the game any more... so let them talk.
Jan 9, 2010 6:54 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis RT @MrCarlisle86 I am, that's the only argument anyone ever wants to use....unless you got rings or a trophy does it really matter?
Jan 9, 2010 6:57 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Uh oh, we got some talkin' already, DeSean Jackson and Ken Hamlin getting into it.
Jan 9, 2010 6:58 PM |
 |
derekeagleton Cowboys and Eagles meet at midfield during introductions and exchange some "pleasantries"...that's playoff NFL football...
Jan 9, 2010 6:58 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Witten, Ball and James are the Cowboys' captains. Dallas wins the toss, will receive.
Jan 9, 2010 7:00 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Ted Nugent performing the national anthem.
Jan 9, 2010 7:04 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis All eyes on Marc Colombo this drive.
Jan 9, 2010 7:06 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis So the Eagles bring seven guys the very first third down of the game. You can already see what they want to do.
Jan 9, 2010 7:09 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Nice to see Roy Williams getting in the flow already. You want Philly to have to account for him.
Jan 9, 2010 7:11 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Great design on the fake bubble screen, screen pass to Felix on the backside.
Jan 9, 2010 7:13 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Eagles have to be feeling fortunate. The Cowboys moved it right down the field, just couldn't get out of their own way.
Jan 9, 2010 7:16 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis And that ends the Cowboys' three-game streak of scoring on their first drive.
Jan 9, 2010 7:17 PM |
|
derekeagleton Great start to drive. 30 yd swing pass to Felix to 17 negated by string of neg plays: illegal motion 82, pass interference 82 & sack.
Jan 9, 2010 7:19 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Very loud, and towels waving with the Eagles offense starting here.
Jan 9, 2010 7:20 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis They had to hold Bobby! We don't get to say that much. RT @pinstripes213 Great job by bobby hitting that A gap.
Jan 9, 2010 7:22 PM |
|
derekeagleton 3 & out 4 DAL on 1st PHI possession. James had shot @ INT on 3rd down but couldn't hold on. PHI tried 2 go 2 Maclin & Jackson on 1st drive.
Jan 9, 2010 7:23 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis I'm thinking we're going to see a lot of Felix today. He's starting this next drive after a big role in the first one.
Jan 9, 2010 7:23 PM |
|
derekeagleton 3 & out by DAL gives offense great field position after punt at DAL 49. They need to take advantage.
Jan 9, 2010 7:24 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Notice all the moving the Eagles are doing before the snap. Anything they can to confuse the Cowboys' line and Tony Romo. It's working.
Jan 9, 2010 7:26 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis A great start to the game for Mat McBriar.
Jan 9, 2010 7:27 PM |
|
derekeagleton Again, big play by Felix negated by bad play: sack (Bennett missed block) loss 7 leading to 2nd & 17 and 3rd & 15.
Jan 9, 2010 7:28 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Looked like to me it was Martellus who was supposed to pick him up. RT @SonulGulati he went right past Columbo
Jan 9, 2010 7:29 PM |
|
derekeagleton PHI defense has been very aggressive early with blitzes.
Jan 9, 2010 7:29 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Defenseless receiver trying to catch the ball... That's so hard to define.
Jan 9, 2010 7:31 PM |
|
derekeagleton DAL coverage allows pressure to force McNabb n2 intentional grounding. D has been dominant.
Jan 9, 2010 7:36 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis False start on Free Reign.
Jan 9, 2010 7:38 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Good to have the whole band back together.
Jan 9, 2010 7:38 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Five penalties for 40 yards on the Cowboys already.
Jan 9, 2010 7:39 PM |
|
derekeagleton 1st quarter ends with PHI having 0 pass completions and only 12 yds of offense. DAL has 5 penalties for 40 yds and PHI has 1 for 14.
Jan 9, 2010 7:40 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Before we slam Colombo, did everyone see him call out the Eagles' blitz before the first down to Miles?
Jan 9, 2010 7:41 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Suddenly the Eagles have even more penalty yards. I think their's hurt worse though.
Jan 9, 2010 7:42 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Nice to see the Cowboys not bang their head against the wall with the short yardage running game down there. Good call by Jason Garrett.
Jan 9, 2010 7:43 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis And that's John Phillips' first career touchdown.
Jan 9, 2010 7:43 PM |
|
derekeagleton Pass int on Brown to PHI 1 is reason why DAL should take shots downfield with Miles every game. Miles beat the coverage. PHI had to grab.
Jan 9, 2010 7:44 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Nine quarters with no points allowed by the Cowboys defense.
Jan 9, 2010 7:45 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Hmmmm. Didn't think Mike Vick would be much of a factor today. Scratch that. He and Maclin caught Jenkins tripping on an out-cut.
Jan 9, 2010 7:48 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Big plays and quick scores for the other team. Can't have those. It got the Cowboys beat in the '07 playoffs.
Jan 9, 2010 7:49 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Whatever momentum the Cowboys had is quickly taken away.
Jan 9, 2010 7:49 PM |
|
derekeagleton Jenkins gets beat on out by Maclin for the 76 yd TD from Vick. Quick strike big plays biggest thing DAL can't allow.
Jan 9, 2010 7:49 PM |
|
derekeagleton 13:19 left in 2nd. PHI 7 DAL 7.
Jan 9, 2010 7:50 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Guilty as charged. RT @J4RM4N u had to say it right?! the no points allowed in 9 quarters comment
Jan 9, 2010 7:50 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis I haven't seen yet if Jones caught it or not, but I think Wade's right to challenge.
Jan 9, 2010 7:52 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Flo and Witten got driven right back into Romo's face there, keeping him from stepping into the throw.
Jan 9, 2010 7:53 PM |
|
derekeagleton 76 yd TD to Maclin by Vick was 1st and only completion for PHI. Without it, PHI has 19 yds offense...with it 95.
Jan 9, 2010 7:54 PM |
|
derekeagleton INT by Romo challenged by Wade & overturned. Huge for DAL cause PHI would have had ball around DAL 16.
Jan 9, 2010 7:55 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis We may look at that swing as the biggest in the game later. RT @EricMorelli that was a close one for the offense
Jan 9, 2010 7:57 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Maclin's 76 yard catch was the longest against the Cowboys ever in the postseason.
Jan 9, 2010 7:59 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Roy's always been a playoffs player anyway...
Jan 9, 2010 8:01 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Barber's got his helmet on, nothing seems wrong with him. Looks like he's been replaced by Choice on short yardage though.
Jan 9, 2010 8:04 PM |
|
derekeagleton Interesting that Choice is in on 1st & goal from 1 and not razorback formation. Barber appears to not be injured.
Jan 9, 2010 8:05 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis I thought when they struggled picking up tough yards against Washington that Choice might have been a better option on those.
Jan 9, 2010 8:06 PM |
|
derekeagleton ...and Choice gets in the end zone on 1st down...for you Lunch Break listeners, Dia sent a text that says, "PS Touchdown."
Jan 9, 2010 8:07 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Barber hasn't played much at all this game. About as many snaps as Choice. Felix is apparently the featured guy, if there is such a thing.
Jan 9, 2010 8:07 PM |
|
derekeagleton 3 big plays for DAL on last drive (2 on 3rd & long): 18 yd pass to Crayton, 17 yd pass to Roy & 18 yd pass to Witten.
Jan 9, 2010 8:08 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Hey, at least the punter didn't take Crayton down. Maybe he slowed him down, but he didn't tackle him.
Jan 9, 2010 8:11 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis By the way, Rocca is costing his team a LOT of field position by outkicking his coverage. Making Crayton look like Devin Hester out there.
Jan 9, 2010 8:12 PM |
|
derekeagleton PHI still has not coverted a 3rd down and has only completed 2 passes: 2 yds & 76 yd TD.
Jan 9, 2010 8:14 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis That was Nick. He's beside himself. RT @smann1050 Who had that Deon prediction on the LB? was it a catch or carry?
Jan 9, 2010 8:16 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Flozell's down, being attended to by trainers.
Jan 9, 2010 8:20 PM |
|
derekeagleton 1st & goal sequence was not very good. Delay penalty then 3 passes to Roy (2 incomplete & 1 he slipped on screen play).
Jan 9, 2010 8:21 PM |
|
derekeagleton Suisham makes 56 yd field goal. 8 plays, 51 yards, 3:56 drive. 3:39 left in half: DAL 17 PHI 7.
Jan 9, 2010 8:22 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Wow, nice effort by Vick trying to recover that one. Strange.
Jan 9, 2010 8:24 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Flozell's back, by the way.
Jan 9, 2010 8:25 PM |
|
derekeagleton Fumble by Vick recovered by Carpenter gives DAL an opportunity to score again b4 half. DAL D is ballin. 2:00 left. DAL has 2nd & goal at 6.
Jan 9, 2010 8:27 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis They've killed the Eagles with bubble screens every game this season. Wonder why Philly can't clean that up.
Jan 9, 2010 8:30 PM |
|
derekeagleton 6 yd TD screen pass to Miles gives DAL a commanding lead 24-7 with 1:55 left in half.
Jan 9, 2010 8:30 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Looks like Sensabaugh hurt his wrist or thumb on the first down completion.
Jan 9, 2010 8:33 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis They keep showing Emmitt Smith on the video board here. He's pumping the fans up.
Jan 9, 2010 8:36 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Though with everything that's happening, they're already pretty rowdy.
Jan 9, 2010 8:36 PM |
|
derekeagleton DAL D continues to dominate w/ forced fumble & recovery by James when PHI driving for score before half. 1st time PHI was in DAL territory.
Jan 9, 2010 8:38 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Haaa! Nick says Samuel's just looking for somebody his own size to fight.
Jan 9, 2010 8:40 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Suisham's career long is 52. He's hit from 48 this season.
Jan 9, 2010 8:44 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Hey, maybe a little confidence building up in Shaun Suisham here. Nothing but positives coming out of this first half.
Jan 9, 2010 8:47 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis This is the first time the Cowboys have scored over 24 points since the Seattle game in Week 8.
Jan 9, 2010 8:47 PM |
|
derekeagleton Fumble recovery by James leads to 7 plays, 28 yards in 0:49 for 48 yd field goal by Suisham. 0:02 left in half. DAL 27 PHI 7.
Jan 9, 2010 8:48 PM |
|
derekeagleton Halftime.
Jan 9, 2010 8:48 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Nothing. Coach's decision to have Choice take more of his role. RT @bigmo78594 whats wrong with marion barber
Jan 9, 2010 8:51 PM |
|
derekeagleton DAL is 6 of 9 on 3rd downs; PHI 0 of 3. Time of possession: DAL 22:53 PHI 7:07. Turnovers: DAL 0 PHI 2. Points off turnovers: DAL 10 PHI 0.
Jan 9, 2010 8:51 PM |
|
derekeagleton DAL has put together a thorough butt-kicking of PHI in the 1st half. Now we see if they will finish.
Jan 9, 2010 8:52 PM |
|
derekeagleton Barber has not played a lot. He should be fresh. Maybe they're counting on him to be the Barbarian in the 2nd half to put this game away.
Jan 9, 2010 8:53 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Mickey gets the line of the night... Do you think Philadelphia's been holding back for the second half?
Jan 9, 2010 8:58 PM |
|
derekeagleton @DCStarJEllis just asked (joke) if PHI is holding all their good stuff 4 2nd half...think all who said they held back last wk should recant.
Jan 9, 2010 9:00 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis The 27-point second quarter is the Cowboys' biggest since 1971. They've only score 28 in a quarter twice, in '71 and '69.
Jan 9, 2010 9:02 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis RT @VL_theLibra zero catches for lil buddy
Jan 9, 2010 9:05 PM |
|
derekeagleton Hamlin gets the tipped pass on 3rd & 9 to force PHI punt. PHI: 4 plays and punt on 1st possession. Good start 2 half for DAL D.
Jan 9, 2010 9:06 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Pretty good cheer just now for George W. Bush hanging out in Jerry's box.
Jan 9, 2010 9:08 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis 92,951 in attendance tonight, a new NFL postseason, non-Super Bowl record.
Jan 9, 2010 9:10 PM |
|
derekeagleton 3 & out for DAL offense. McBriar booms the punt 61 yds w/ great hang time to give PHI possession at PHI 24.
Jan 9, 2010 9:11 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis That was Philadelphia's first third-down conversion of the game.
Jan 9, 2010 9:15 PM |
|
derekeagleton PHI just coverted their first 3rd down of the game w/ 15 yd pass to Maclin.
Jan 9, 2010 9:15 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis DeMarcus didn't look like he felt too good coming off the field. Not sure what the problem was, but you might wanna go easy on him now.
Jan 9, 2010 9:22 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis The team says he's fine. RT @SonulGulati u guys sure Barbers fine? Havnt seen him this whole half, have we?
Jan 9, 2010 9:24 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis He's looked very good in the running game. RT @TheFavorZone I've been so excited that I forgot to see how Colombo looks... What do u see?
Jan 9, 2010 9:27 PM |
|
derekeagleton 92,951 attendance sets NFL postseason record (not including Super Bowl).
Jan 9, 2010 9:27 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Wowww, what a run by Felix. 73 yards, the longest of his career. This team is playing with a LOOOT of confidence right now. Hello Minnesota.
Jan 9, 2010 9:29 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis That's also the longest playoff run in Cowboys history. Previously it was Emmitt Smith, 65 yards against the Vikings in 2000.
Jan 9, 2010 9:31 PM |
|
derekeagleton 73 yd TD run by Felix is longest run (65 by Emmitt vs MIN in 99) or TD run (37 by Emmitt vs MIN in 96) in DAL playoff history.
Jan 9, 2010 9:32 PM |
|
derekeagleton Inexperience caused Jenkins to attempt lateral after INT that ends up in fumble recovered by PHI. You're up by 27 point in 3rd; just go down
Jan 9, 2010 9:36 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis I bet Campo blew a gasket too... It's Ok, the defense is having no problem getting it back. RT @pinstripes213 No need for a lateral there
Jan 9, 2010 9:37 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis No boos for Roy Williams' drop, but you could tell some of the people were thinking about it.
Jan 9, 2010 9:40 PM |
|
derekeagleton McBriar is shutting down Jackson on special teams with booming punts with great hang time.
Jan 9, 2010 9:41 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Update on Barber from the team is that he's OK to play, but they are probably being cautious with his previous knee injury.
Jan 9, 2010 9:44 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Assuming the lead holds up, it's Cowboys at Vikings next Sunday at noon (CST).
Jan 9, 2010 9:46 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Nick says Hochuli gets a bonus when he shows up on TV 35 times in the same game. Getting close...
Jan 9, 2010 9:50 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis There it was! I think they stung too little, too late though.
Jan 9, 2010 9:52 PM |
|
derekeagleton Illegal hands to face by Spencer gives PHI 1st & goal at 4 when it would have been 4th & goal at 8.
Jan 9, 2010 9:53 PM |
|
derekeagleton Leads to 4 yd TD pass to Jackson...not really a sting by Jackson as he tweeted; more like a mosquito bite. 13:30 in 4th: DAL 34 PHI 14.
Jan 9, 2010 9:54 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Ha! RT @THunley9 Lil buddy got him self a lil meaningless TD
Jan 9, 2010 9:55 PM |
|
derekeagleton DAL reporting Barber is fine. RT SonulGulati Andrea Kramer says barber came in with a bruised left knee, maybe their being cautious
Jan 9, 2010 9:58 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Felix is 17 yards away from the biggest rushing day in team history.
Jan 9, 2010 10:01 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Check that, 17 yards from the biggest day in team PLAYOFF history.
Jan 9, 2010 10:01 PM |
|
derekeagleton 5:18 left in game, DAL 34 PHI 14.
Jan 9, 2010 10:06 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis We're used to seeing this from DeMarcus, but Bobby Carpenter has had a very productive game. Things keep coming right to him.
Jan 9, 2010 10:10 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Make sure ya'll check out The Lunch Break on Monday. In their 11 seasons with the Cowboys, this is the first playoff win they've seen too.
Jan 9, 2010 10:12 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Speaking of Nick and Derek, that is.
Jan 9, 2010 10:13 PM |
|
derekeagleton 11th season with the Cowboys for me & Eatman...we've seen a lot...this is the first time we've experienced a playoff win! I like.
Jan 9, 2010 10:13 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis 14 penalties for 112 yards now.
Jan 9, 2010 10:18 PM |
|
derekeagleton DAL has 14 penalties for 112 yards and counting...
Jan 9, 2010 10:18 PM |
|
derekeagleton Choice looks a little woosy after last play. Expect the questions to start as to whether he rushed back after "slight concussion" last week.
Jan 9, 2010 10:20 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis OK everybody. Romo's got a playoff win. Wade's got a playoff win. The drought is over and the #Cowboys are @ Minnesota Sunday at noon (CST).
Jan 9, 2010 10:25 PM |
|
derekeagleton Jackson has 3 catches for 14 yds and 1 absolutely meaningless TD...
Jan 9, 2010 10:27 PM |
|
derekeagleton I saw Dave Spadero of Eagles.com looking pretty sick after his teams display. He & Jackson had bad days...
Jan 9, 2010 10:28 PM |
|
derekeagleton Final: DAL 34 PHI 14. DAL head 2 MIN next week to play the Vikes who r undefeated @ hm this year. Big challenge but DAL should b confident.
Jan 9, 2010 10:30 PM |
|
derekeagleton Jenkins gave intercepted ball 2 Jerry on sideline. This win is huge 4 Jones 2 get monkey off his back & get 1st playoff win in new digs.
Jan 9, 2010 10:31 PM |
|
derekeagleton To show the class of most PHI employees, Maggie Arganbright, PHI Internet Director, just sent me msg of congratulations. Good peeps.
Jan 9, 2010 10:39 PM |
|
derekeagleton Wade says Barber didn't feel very good after game began so they held back on him. After watching Felix, he may need to hurry back...
Jan 9, 2010 10:46 PM |
|
derekeagleton Choice says he's ok & not the same as last wk when he got a slight concussion. RT @JimPilkington: any word on Choice?
Jan 10, 2010 12:05 AM |

derekeagleton @tialachelle did u make it through the game?
Jan 10, 2010 12:06 AM |
