Cowboys at Eagles | Week 7 Game Day Chatter Thread | 10/20/2013

[Smitty]

To hell with a punt here.

Try the long FG or go for it.

Nah, he was too far from the first down to go for it. But I would have kicked the FG.

That's the conservative road offense on full display there.

Damn. Didn't even hesitate.

Way to show zero nuts, Garrett.

I don't disagree with the punt, but I wouldn't disagree with him going for it. At least he was decisive, though, instead of blowing a TO.

 

[boozeman]

Stupid decision.

I'm not punting at the 36 yard line. Kick the FG or go for it, but we punt and we get a whopping 20 net yards out of it.

To me, that shows we are scared of being in a shootout.

In that territory, you have to either kick the FG or go for it. Unless you are chickenshit.

Now we know.

 

[Rev]

Did Aikman just say Waters started his career when I was still playing TE?

No. He said Brian was playing TE.

 

[Texas Ace]

Nah, he was too far from the first down to go for it. But I would have kicked the FG.

That's the conservative road offense on full display there.

Yea, the worst part about that punt is that we didn't even pin them deep.

Hmmm.

You have a point.

Garrett is evolving!

What's the 'blue jersey game' that's mentioned in the PHI/DAL rivalry?

 

[2233boys]

I'm curious how that wasn't a late hit on Romo.

 

[boozeman]

We don't have that kind of punter anyways.

 

[Smitty]

Now force a turnover, would be nice.

The thing about relying on a defensive struggle is that you need your defense to respond.

 

[boozeman]

They are persistent with that play against Carter.

COlquitt killed us with the coffin corner. That'd be nice to have today.

The chart says to go for it on 4th and 6 from the 37:

[boozeman]

Now they have drawn that penalty, they won't stop going at it.

 

[Deuce]

People are going to test Carter all year with that route.

 

[boozeman]

Lucky we didn't get flagged for that hit by Carr.

SHouldn't have. Didn't hit the head.

 

[boozeman]

I like the stunts Marinelli is calling but these interior linemen spend way too much time on the ground.

 

[2233boys]

Troy late hit on the eagles rec but Romo wasn't hit late

 

[Tony D]

Shocked by the defense so far.
