Cowboys vs Arizona - Dallas-Mavs.com Forums

grbh · 10-20-2002, 11:15 AM

Well this should be an easy pick in Arizona.

Why you ask?

1. Dallas must lose on Sunday or risk tampering with the Lose-Win-Lose-Win-Lose-Win streak. The football Gods will not allow that to be altered.

2. Arizona is coming off of a bye. NFL teams are 8-4 coming off of byes this year.

3. Injuries. Arizona, nothing too significant, a backup rinning back, and a couple other questionables. Dallas is missing their leading tackler last year. In addition their starting Center is questionable, as is every safety who has ever laced it up for the Boys. Larry Allen is listed as probable for plays 1-6, questionable for plays 7-14, and out the remainder of the game.

4. Arizona comes in winners of 3 of 4 with wins over Carolina, NY Gaints, and Seattle. There only loss a competitive game against a pretty good San Diego team, a game that fankly Arizona should have won.

5. In the Cowboys last 29 road games they are 5-24.

With all that said the prediction is pretty obvious to me.

Dallas 21
Arizona 17

AS usual, it comes down to the O-line. If they play good, Dallas wins. Hopefully the running game gets going this week too.

Dallas 17- Arizona 13

LOL grbh....nothing like relying on the scientific evidence.

I say Cowboys 17-10. The defense probably scores a td to get us that high in points. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

On two successive plays, Carter threw an interception into triple coverage and then threw a wild lateral that Emmitt couldn't have caught on his best day. Horrible effort thus far. He is short on every one of his throws thus far. I am keeping play by play stats today. This is a horrible effort. Damn I hope he can get better soon.....dear lord....

Thank God for Emmitt.....

End of First Quarter Update

Arizona - 3
Dallas - 0

Carter 3-6 for 23 yards 0 TD's 2 Int's and 1 fumble

Emmitt 4 rushes for 24 yards

I hope Campo will feed Emmitt the ball more often. 6 yards per carry average right now.

Rhylan · 10-20-2002, 04:26 PM

Emmitt's looking good.. Q-ball has headinanus disease.

Drbio · 10-20-2002, 04:28 PM

Halftime Stat update.....

Arizona - 6
Dallas - 0

Carter 6 for 11 for 53 yards, 0 TD's, 2 interceptions, 2 passes that should have been interceptions, 1 fumble and one dropped pass by Bryant on what was Carters best pass of the game. Carter has also thrown several balls short again and tripped once (not the home turf this time).
Grade: F

Emmitt 8 rushes for 35 yards, no touchdowns, roughly 4 yards per carry average (Sound familiar?) not enough carries.
Grade: B

Bryant has played well despite dropping a good pass by Carter.
Grade: B-

Roy Williams is a stud. He has nailed people out there today. This kid has All-Pro potential.
Grade: A

Defense has played well.
Grade: A

Offensive line has done an average job at best.
Grade: D+

I gotta disagree with the defense. The cbs arent playin for shit out there though I give Edwards his props but there are passes being thrown to wide open guys like Sanders and Boston who are there best receivers. The O Line deserve a F every week till Larry Allen gets back.

Drbio · 10-20-2002, 04:38 PM

The grade was for overall defense. What's your take on Carter today?

Another three and out...damn.

Drbio · 10-20-2002, 04:49 PM

Great play...Carter to Bryant!!!

Nice to see that!

Drbio · 10-20-2002, 04:50 PM

missed extra point....unbelievable.

FilthyFinMavs · 10-20-2002, 04:55 PM

I love Joe but damn this season has been full of dumb ass special team moves and I dont know the play looked like it wasnt Cundiffs fault and the ball got there late and for some reason the guy tryed to run the ball for some reason I would have thrown it becuase it cant be intercepted for a touchdown. As far as Carter goes yea he is having a bad game and img onna be fair im not gonna give Carter his props till I see him throw another well throw that gives us points or atleast pass the 50 yard line lol. HE is playing bad but I think that last play puts him almost to fair but not quite there.

Drbio · 10-20-2002, 04:58 PM

He gets credit for that pass. I have dogged him all year for not being able to throw the long ball, and even though Bryant had to make a nice play on the ball, he threw it. If the game ended now I would give him a D.

FilthyFinMavs · 10-20-2002, 04:59 PM

I apologize BIO the defense is playing great. When they put pressure on the qb there is no stopping them well atleast against the Cardinals.

Drbio · 10-20-2002, 05:04 PM

I like what I see in our defense today.

I think we just lost another offensive lineman to injury...good grief.

Drbio · 10-20-2002, 05:09 PM

Carter with another bad decision. His downfield throws too often look like ducks. That was a horrible throw resulting in his third interception of the game.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img]

FilthyFinMavs · 10-20-2002, 05:10 PM

NOOOO not another one. I guess it wasnt that much of a loss but I have no problem with Darnay but I think he is better fit running a route or cutting for a pass then throwign long to him. I wanna see Quincy throw to Bryant or Galloway more but I think we are starting to see teams respect Bryant more.

Drbio · 10-20-2002, 05:23 PM

End of Third Quarter:

Arizona - 6
Dallas - 6

Carter: 7 of 14 for 131 yards 1 TD 3Int's
3 balls should have been picked
2 drops on good passes.
overthrew a wide open Bryant again at the end of the quarter.
Grade: D-

Emmitt needs four carries for 20, but Hambrick is in right now. I guess Emmitt actually got hurt on that third quarter play where he tripped over Whelan.

#1MavsFan · 10-20-2002, 05:23 PM

Quincy is playing poor but he did have that nice throw to bryant. I only wish the o-line can do better. Theyre opening no holes and not getting quincy enough time.

Drbio · 10-20-2002, 05:25 PM

The offensive line has provided excellent pass protection but not so great run support today.

Drbio · 10-20-2002, 05:26 PM

The offensive line is not an excuse today.

Drbio · 10-20-2002, 05:30 PM

Yet another incredibly intelligent throw into the arms of an Arizona Cardinal by Carter. That is four picks today.

Carter earns his Ph.D. in Suckology today.

Rhylan · 10-20-2002, 05:30 PM

MFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!!!

Qball, you had a field goal made, dude. All you had to do was throw it away. You're stupid.

#1MavsFan · 10-20-2002, 05:31 PM

Dammit another int when we're about to score

Drbio · 10-20-2002, 05:31 PM

We want Hutch!!!! We want Hutch!!!! We want Hutch!!!! We want Hutch!!!!

#1MavsFan · 10-20-2002, 05:35 PM

Roy Williams with another great play. He just knocked down plumbers pass.

Drbio · 10-20-2002, 05:37 PM

I was going to save this for my final grades today, but Roy Williams definitely gets adn A+ today. Great effort.

#1MavsFan · 10-20-2002, 05:41 PM

No Good!

grbh · 10-20-2002, 05:43 PM

Unbelievable, this is some of the worst football I have ever seen.

Drbio · 10-20-2002, 05:44 PM

Plummer did outstanding there. He kept his head, ran out of the pocket and when pressured, he threw it away. I hope Carter took notes. Even though Arizona missed the field goal, Plummer played that flawlessly. Carter on the other hand ahs throw two interceptions in that same situation today.

Drbio · 10-20-2002, 05:45 PM

<< Unbelievable, this is some of the worst football I have ever seen. >>

agreed. It's awful.

dude1394 · 10-20-2002, 05:47 PM

As terrible as jif and the cowboys are playing.... man how can the cardinals have a winning record???

Jif has made some horrible decisions today.... Man what is the deal with Micah Knorr, he is absolutely horrible. He has probably cost the an average of 20 yards in field position.

Wow thomas threw a block!
