oh man, you just jinxed the hell out of them :(

[DallasBoys]

oh man, you just jinxed the hell out of them :([/b]


NAH! See the board about predictions for the season where everyone is picking Dallas to win the SB!!!!! THAT'S a jinx!

that is also a jinx i agree

[chumpy]

ok, 3 and out then a PR for TD is not a good start :(

[chumpy]

WTF....2 offensive penalties in a row

[chumpy]

VERY< VERY sloppy!!!!

[chumpy]

anyone else here?!???

[splicer480]

anyone else here?!???[/b]

Glad I&#39;m here and not the game. I&#39;m viewing it from nfl.com&#39;s pod cast. Just reading along and they seem to be VERY SLOPPY tonight. Oh well I was expecting a game like this because they look so good for 2 weeks. I hope they wake up and play better. This is supposed to be the "dress rehersal game"

[cowboysHI]

Play calling SUCKS!!!!!! Throw it to Wittten! I hope this is not a preview of the Garrett "O" How do you not even get a FG when you have the ball at the 46?

[splicer480]

Adams and Davis 2 penalties each just in the 1st quarter alone. Burnett had a nice sack for a big loss.

[cowboysHI]

Well, you know what they say...If it seems to good to be true...it probably is!! This has been Dallas&#39; biggest problem..playing weak against weak teams. They never pound the teams that they are supposed to pound!

[maxdallasfan]

Can anyone explain why Barber made a tackle on a 1st and 10 running play?

[Cowboyzadam]

We are playing like crap right now. I am glad this is the preseason. What is it with us and the Texans?

[maxdallasfan]

now the O is picking it up.

[splicer480]

They look like crap. Ahman Green going for 50 yards. Almost 50 yards in penalties and they only had 10 yards in penalties the 1st 2 games combined.
Why do they have so much trouble with the crap teams of the league????

[Cowboyzadam]

TD T.O.!!!! nICE SOMEONE SHOWED UP! woohoo

[chumpy]

wtf...missed XP

[Cowboyzadam]

I can&#39;t believe Gramatica missed the extra point.

That will not help his battle for the kicker spot.

[splicer480]

Hey, no penalties on that driver either.... :rolleyes:

[cowboysHI]

Anyone see how he missed that? Was it a hold problem?

[cowboysHI]

I&#39;m glad TO got a TD. How did they not get him the ball in the 1st qtr?

[splicer480]

I can&#39;t believe Gramatica missed the extra point.

That will not help his battle for the kicker spot.[/b]

Folk, Folk, Folk. Well, until he misses one, then Gramatica, Gramatica, Gramatica.. Ha, Ha,

[cowboysHI]

Are the starters playing into the 3rd qtr?

[cowboysHI]

That is so true Splicer! I bet Folk put the curse on Gramatica...You know Folk is folking happy about that!!! And know he screwed up the kickoff. I think Folk put some stuff in Gramatica&#39;s water bottle!

[splicer480]

Yeah, he&#39;s just folking around with Gramatica...

[cowboysHI]

C&#39;mon TO, put some stick um on your hands!

[cowboysHI]

I know this is only a pre-season game but I think realistically Dallas goes 9-7 again with a chance at the Wildcard. Just keeping it real!

[chumpy]

wtf is going on?!?!?!

[Cowboyzadam]

I think this is just yet another time where our players take what they think is a weaker team to lightly. Joe must be real pissed because he is at the game.

[Eric]

I&#39;m starting to think the same way...Are we just staring through silver and blue glasses? :angry:

[lcboysfan]

Looks like case of taking someone for granted, D isn&#39;t wrapping up, O-line isn&#39;t that dominant. I hope this isn&#39;t a recipe to defeat us in the regular season. We are making the Texans look like good

[lcboysfan]

another first down for the Texans

[DallasBoys]

Such passion for a preseason game!!! Please folks.....settle down! LOL This is the time of year to try different stuff in a safe setting. The coaches are learning what works and doesn&#39;t work. Throw out the fluke punt return,the mossed extra point, and we are at 14-14.

unfortunately, you can&#39;t throw out plays in a game. besides, they can say the same about a couple of cowboys plays.

[lcboysfan]

Nice catch Curtis

Yes, you can&#39;t "throw out" plays. But the coaches are evaluating here....you would love to win, but we are evaluating all game long. The punt return coverage screwed up, and it&#39;s been a tougher game than expected. The season begins in September. We&#39;re tuning up the engine, not running at full blast.

Got caught up in the emotion of the game :unsure: ..it happens from time to time

[DallasBoys]

Dude, NO ONE on earth has ever been born that hates losing as much as I do! :lol:
But honestly, this is the first year I&#39;ve even paid attention to preseason. All you want out of this thing is no injuries to your starters...that is honestly all I care about.

I am reduced to wathcing on NFL.com, but I have to say, it is very cool this year. I recommend it if you&#39;re stuck out of TV coverage range like us NY Cowboy fans. I am stuck watching the Ginats/Jets game <_<

[snoopbusta]

I could&#39;nt catch the game on tv but saw it on gamecenter. I have to say I&#39;m very dissapointed at the result but am not surprised at all. I hope this does not mean anything.

[Tulip_Sniper]

that was a piss poor performance out there tonight. Special teams was awful, the offense seemed to suffer a melt down out there, and the defense was getting burned all night. Brad looked bad out there tonight, this was a very disappointing game. I wonder what kind of impact Newman&#39;s absence had out there.

[thevalleyranchreport]

Just back home, what a disaster. Horrible game, and extremely disappointing, thank god this is just preseason... losing to those loser Texans just sucks!

[maxdallasfan]

To anyone who wants to watch it.....Sunday at 11am on NFL network. Get your TiVo&#39;s ready.

I&#39;m interested in seeing the TO TD.

[Cowboyzadam]

Yeah I&#39;ll watch it as well Max tomorrow. Even though I know they lose 28 to 16 I still need to support the Boyz. I want to see the mistakes and what needs to be worked on so I can see if there is any progress the next game. I have to watch them win or lose.

DallasBoys is right about us all not getting carried away with both the wins and the losses in Pre-season. Also I do understand the frustrations felt by you guys as well because I felt them too listening to the game. As a loyal Die Hard fan you can&#39;t help but get pissed when you watch your team perform poorly whether it be Pre-season or not.

So to all my Cowboy pals in here...I&#39;m with each of you in being pissed off that we played so bad but I also do not place much stock into it...YET!

[thevalleyranchreport]

They looked horrible, no energy, no swarming defense. The only thing I can take from this is that I hope this brings them down from cloud 9, and brings them back in check. I almost think they rolled in there as the unstoppable monster they have been the last few weeks, and then they got a good awakening. No team is unbeatable, as much as I wish we were. I&#39;m sure we&#39;ll bounce back, and Phillips and Garrett will make the proper adjustments.

I sure hope so Joe...or I&#39;m afraid we will not be allowed to send you to anymore of their games. :blink:

Where on earth were you able to listen to the game? I looked everywhere including the ticket but was confined to gamecenter.

Snoop...the best site I have found who 9 times out of 10 will always have the Boys aired live on the web is: http://radio.woai.com/pages/listen.html

Sometimes there will be a few seconds delay but they do a very good job over-all. I used all last year as well and never missed hearing a game when they were not broadcast live locally.

[snoopbusta]

cool. thanks I&#39;ll use this tonight then sunday ticket once the regular season kickd off. Isn&#39;t it strange the sunday ticket on direct tv does not cover preseason?
