Ugh. Great start for Bledsoe and the line.

Drbio · 09-11-2005, 03:32 PM

7-0 Chargers.

LT just tied the NFL record for consecutive games with a touchdown.

ames7 · 09-11-2005, 03:33 PM

Oh dear. And reality sets in.

Windmill360 · 09-11-2005, 03:44 PM

Goes to show you how one drive CAN F up the rest of the season for you.

ames7 · 09-11-2005, 04:00 PM

I am such a Patrick Crayton fan. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

alby · 09-11-2005, 04:01 PM

comeon defense

Ninkobei · 09-11-2005, 05:27 PM

special teams needs some work- both returning and coverage.

Drbio · 09-11-2005, 05:29 PM

Gosh....a couple of you guys had little faith early.

21-21...Go Cowboys!

ames7 · 09-11-2005, 05:52 PM

I want to praise Bledsoe, but the two fumbles have cancelled out a lot the good he's done today. Very messy game, must be driving Bill crazy.

FilthyFinMavs · 09-11-2005, 05:53 PM

I love what I see from Whitten and Julius Jones. Pro Bowlers for years to come. But i'm also loving what i'm seeing from Patrick Crayton. The announcers made the comment that he has the best hands on our team and it wouldn't surprise me. Its a shame though that he has the best hands on a team that has Price, Johnson and Glenn but maybe his hands are just that good. I see this season we are gonna rely on Julius Jones wayyyy too much. I hope he can take the load.

ames7 · 09-11-2005, 06:06 PM

Bledsoe is forgiven. Keyshawn with a couple of really nice catches today.

C'mon Defense!!

Drbio · 09-11-2005, 06:05 PM

KEYSHAWN FREAKING JOHNSON!!!!!!

Drbio · 09-11-2005, 06:05 PM

Great job by Bledsoe....helluva job!

Drbio · 09-11-2005, 06:05 PM

So....anyone want to revisit the earlier doom and gloom?

I know the Boys can still lose, but this is a team that will win 8-10 games this year.

Drbio · 09-11-2005, 06:10 PM

Cheaters never win Keenan McCardell. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

Drbio · 09-11-2005, 06:17 PM

Absolutely HUGE 4th and ballgame coming up.

Our defense is kick ass. This is the kind of defense that can support a championship team. I like very much what I am seeing out of the Dallas D today.

Drbio · 09-11-2005, 06:19 PM

ouch. Eric Parker just wanted it more.

ouch.

damn.

Murphy3 · 09-11-2005, 06:22 PM

...gotta love the new secondary additions.

Murphy3 · 09-11-2005, 06:24 PM

I know that the line gave up some yardage on penalties, but I thought they did a pretty good job as well....
Yes, Bledsoe was sacked 4 times, but two of them are on him. One was on Polite..Politte..or whatever.

Most of the time, Bledsoe had time.

ames7 · 09-11-2005, 06:25 PM

And THAT is what we call a hard-earned victory. That was beautiful.

Drbio · 09-11-2005, 06:21 PM

AWWWW HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!

Great job Cowboys.

Ninkobei · 09-11-2005, 06:32 PM

vVvictorry

mavsfanforever · 09-11-2005, 06:35 PM

Awesome victory. Defense made big plays. If it was anyone other than Drew Brees this would have been a bowout in favour of cows.

FilthyFinMavs · 09-11-2005, 08:20 PM

Bledsoe also had a hell of a game. I mean for his first game as a Cowboy he exceeded my expectation by miles. Would've liked for him to have done something with the ball quicker on some plays but for the most part he played well. But if it wasn't for JJ's performance Bledsoe does nothing this game. Love our secondary. I don't remember being so amped about our corners and safetys. I liked what I saw from everyone. I expected more out of TNew though.

dude1394 · 09-11-2005, 08:36 PM

Dang fine win in a hostile place. A team with all returning players and pretty dang good last year. A top running back as well. Well done.

Well they brought everyone back except probably their biggest threat deep which is Antonio Gates. But i'm not gonna take anything away from the Cowboys. In previous seasons when they would win it just seemed liek they were lucky. Yesterday they won the game. It wasn't given to them.

dalmations202 · 09-12-2005, 08:47 AM

Great win for the Cowboys..... San Dog has a quality team. If they get the improvement this year that they should, both will be teams to reckon with come January.

Big Boy Laroux · 09-12-2005, 12:28 PM

FFM, no kidding.

Gates sure would have helped the chargers on those 4 downs with goal to go.

FINtastic · 09-12-2005, 01:15 PM

Heck, it would have helped the chargers to just run the darn ball with LT once during those last 4 plays. They had a timeout so that had time to hand it off to LT on third down.

But great game from the Cowboys. I saw a lot of things to be excited about from the Cowboys. We looked looked pretty good in the secondary, which is a welcome change from last season. We got some serious pressure on the quarterback even if we didn't end up with a ton of sacks. And I'm starting to think we might have some quality depth at wide receiver with the play of Crayton and the addition of Price; we don't have a star receiver, but we seem to have a lot of guys who are going to be able to make plays and contribute. Last but not least, Bledsoe looked pretty good out there.

endtroducing · 09-12-2005, 01:16 PM

Henry looks like a Pro Bowl corner....12 tackles, 1 INT, 5 passes defensed...yeah

I was frightened that the Chargers would do just that on third down and goal. Aikman, I think, was saying that the Chargers could run the ball since they did have a timeout, and I was literally shaking in my boots at the thought. Though I didn't have boots on.

Big Boy Laroux · 09-13-2005, 10:59 AM

yeah, i was suprised they didn't run once. I was expecting a draw or trap or something on 2nd or third. but maybe they thought the cowboys would think that, too. who knows.

dirno2000 · 09-13-2005, 12:18 PM

Marty's explanation was that the Cowboy's were blitzing on almost every play so there weren't any running lanes. They still may have been able to find him in the flat but it took two great plays, first from Henry then Glen, for the Cowboys to win that game. We get average CB play and we're 0-1.

JLEEHASMUCHGAME · 09-13-2005, 12:36 PM

Oh definitely, great plays had to be made eventhough they didn't run. The fear in me of the Chargers scoring didn't subside when they didn't run on third. Breeze, or is it spelled Breese?, was scaring me to do death. That was a great game to watch, though I missed some of it because of an exam review.

capitalcity · 09-16-2005, 10:41 PM

I forget... Do we have rules for starting the Gameday threads?

I'm not volunteering - I'm asking.

sike · 09-16-2005, 11:16 PM

Chaff should keep it up as long as the Ws keep rolling...

SaltwaterChaffy · 09-17-2005, 06:48 PM

I'll set one up on Monday.

sike · 09-17-2005, 07:03 PM

that's my favorite college dj!
