Wildcard Sunday Chatter | Cowboys and Lions | 1/4/2015

Truth be told...I almost jerked it clean off when Romo hit Witten on 4th and 6.

I did, too, and then I was jumping around my living room like a fool on drugs on Lawrence's strip/sack/recovery.

An NFL reporter tweeted during the first half that he just heard from another NFL coach and it wasn't so much the O line getting manhandled the first half, but they were continually calling the wrong protection on just about every pass play. Something along those lines. Looks like we corrected that in second half.

A lot of the pressure had little to nothing to do with our O-lines ability. A lot of it falls on Romo for just not reading the defense and getting the ball off accordingly.

Blandino said it should have been defensive holding, and not PI, so the whole argument about the flag being picked up is moot.

Are we the only people who saw Pettigrew drag Hitchens into himself by the facemask?

Yea Hitchens was grabbing jersey like a mofo as Pettigrew started the route.

All the bitching and crying about it makes the win that much more enjoyable.

Now one of the idiots on ESPN just said that he wasn't feeling the hold on Dunbar. Uhh, you dipshit, he got tackled while he was trying to break out into the screen.

I'm on to Green Bay.

It's a love/hate relationship between this team and ESPN. They love what the Cowboys do for their ratings but hate the team itself.

Sorry, it was NFLN not ESPN. I have toggling back and forth between them and forgot which idiots I was listening to.

Same goes for NFLN with the exception of Irvin who is an insufferable homer!

 

[kidd]

As an aside, Coleen Wolfe of NFLN is incredibly hot but the fact that she's an Eagles fan sullies her a bit.

Greg Rosenthal is a whiny little shat.

So sick of hearing about this fricking Hitchens play. Why don't any of these MF'ers want to talk about the ticky-tack hold on Witten that negated Murray's TD? Or the BS call on the pick play that Denver runs 100 times a game that wiped out Beasley's 20-something yard catch?

Bad calls happen all the time, both ways.

 

[Carp]

I did not care for Stuart Scott, but I think that was mostly because I could not relate to how he spoke and did his highlights. He certainly did have a big impact, I mean the outpouring of respect has been amazing.

I love Garrett's response in his PC today. When he was asked for his thoughts, he said that he thought they were "talking about the wrong stuff." He went on to point out that had the call gone against his team, he'd like to say that he still wouldn't want to talk about a referee's decision. He then called out the media and said that they were focusing too much on this stuff as well.

Afterwards a reporter asked him if he would discuss the ref's call/non-call, and he said sure...after they talk about more important things first.

I don't think he ever said anything else on this.

I really enjoyed Stuart Scott. I loved how he got other analysts involved when he did highlights of a game.

He was as cool as the other side of the pillow.

 

[Jiggyfly]

You seriously think he was great yesterday? If he was great, Ansah must have invoked the spirit of Reggie White and become All World for the day.

In the first half he was getting abused. Ansah and anyone else coming off the right side was giving him fits. When he wasn't getting beat outright, he was lost in who to block. He played much better in the second half, I'll give him that. Now, I don't know if that was him settling down, or the fact that the Detroit pulled in the reigns a bit after Romo and Williams scorched them for that long TD.

Parnell is a decent backup and spot starter. If Free leaves, we could do much better than just relying on Parnell to be the starter. FA pickup, or draft pick. I'd leave our All Pro rookie RG right where he's at.

Ansah did not do all the much and after a rough 1st quarter he played great there was no more pressure from the right side and by the 4th quarter the DE quit.

You know who looked bad in the 1st quarter Martin and Leary, I am not saying Parnell is a pro bowler but he is at least a average starter, look at what he did against Kerrigan he erased him.

I judge players on their totality and on total he played a very good game, you are delusional if you think he can be replaced very easily, have you forgotten the trouble we have had at RT since the decline of Columbo.

I think he can play at a Columbo level if not better.

 

[NoDak]

Parnell is a JAG. Players like him are scattered all over the NFL, and yeah... He wouldn't be all that hard to replace. You're the one who's delusional if he's playing great and is erasing opposing players. He has been serviceable, with an occasional above average play.

Find me one person who agrees with your assessment of Parnell's play, and I'll show you a retard named xwalker.
