Packers vs. Cowboys
 

Anyone watching this game?

It's a pretty good game, Aaron Rodgers came in late in the second for an injured Brett Favre and he's led the Packers to two TDs to close the gap to 27-24.

But I gotta tell ya, I get a little choked up each time they show the back of a helmet and I see "21" on there. I wanted to see the moment of silence but I missed it.

elbow injury or something. don't think it's anything bad though.

Re: Packers vs. Cowboys
 

I am.
Green Bay "can" win but they need help.

The #21 on Helmets is already hitting me. I see it everywhere.

Hail Meast!

i haven't heard much on it, but he doesn't look real hurt, so i assume its just for the remainder of this game.

Re: Packers vs. Cowboys

Your welcome.. and I like the quote from Portis that you put in your signature. You can tell he's really hurting; those two were close.

Re: Packers vs. Cowboys
 

In the preseason, I predicted Romo to follow a very "Delhomme-like" career path.

Boy was I wrong on that one.

He's a lot closer to Brady than he is to Delhomme. That, and the pass rush that Ware and Ellis are providing are the big reasons why the Cowboys now have double the wins I thought they would get...in the entire season.

It was reported on the radio on Friday morning that Favre suffered a strained forearm and a seperated shoulder.

Man does the NFL production suck. Gumble is awful in almost every way and the production seems amatuerish.

I still think TO makes him look a lot better than he is. I'll stand by that until TO retires, then we'll see for sure.

Re: Packers vs. Cowboys
 

Gumble is pretty bad in the booth.

Overall an entertaining game. Rodgers played well, I was surprised at that. I think not having Woodson in there really hurt the Packers.

Re: Packers vs. Cowboys
 

Gumble is the worst announcer in history folks! I about fell asleep listening to that bumbling idiot in all his monotone glory.

Re: Packers vs. Cowboys
 

I was really touched by the way they honored Sean last night.

Boy, Sunday is going to be crazy emotional.

I am not sure that would have made a difference. When TO runs across the field nobody can cover him, and probably all except DeAngelo Hall are afraid to jam him at the line. I know you are a Farve Fan, but the Dallas Secondary is their weakness. This was an opportunity to to show what he could do. 5-14 and 2 INTs.

Re: Packers vs. Cowboys
 

I thought that last pass interference call that set up the final Cowboys TD was pretty suspect. I didn't think it was pass interference, though I could see the argument for it. Still, when it's so close like that it's a shame to see a good tight game like that essentially decided by the refs and not the teams.

I agree that was a touchy call. At first I thought it was PI all the way, but the replay showed it could have gone either way.

Re: Packers vs. Cowboys
 

Anybody else that can't stand the SOUND of Gumbel's high pitched nasally voice? The commentary was pathetic and you could hear Collinsworth try to control himself from making B.G. sound like a complete jackass. I swear Gumbel knows almost nothing more than any fan anywhere regarding football. I kept waiting for him to throw out little chestnuts like, "you know, there are 4 downs in a possession, unless a team makes a first down, then they get 4 more downs" and "Tony Romo plays quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys."

Re: Packers vs. Cowboys
 

Did anyone catch it that Gumbel referred to the Cowboys 3 times as the Packers in the first quarter! I couldn't believe it the 2nd time, but then he did it again talking about Barber; "Mike McCarthy calls him the heart of the Packer offense."

The nfl network just sounds & feels weird, I don't care much for it.

And what was up w/them showing Deion's mike cord coming out his ass? I thought the intent of tucking the cord beneath the jacket was to conceal it, not for the camera man to zoom in on while he's talking.

LOL Gumbel is so bad.

The NFLN still has a long way to go as far as covering games go.

You know what pissed me off the most? The fact that they didn't display what quarter it was on the screen. Half the game I found myself saying, "What F'ing quarter is it??"

Yeah, that was funny - them showing Deion's ass with the mike attached to it.

But you're right, there is something very awkard about them broadcasting games.

TO will make a QB look better but Romo still makes allot of plays on his own.

Re: Packers vs. Cowboys
 

Romo is good, I'm done trying to deny it.

Finally a Hispanic is making it as an NFL QB!! I still have a shot :)

Re: Packers vs. Cowboys
 

For those that missed the beginning of the game it was extremely emotional. One minute the place is electric. Texas Stadium was as loud as I've ever heard over the announcer's mics. The game announcer came across asking for a moment of silence for Sean Taylor and I swear you could hear a pin drop. It wasn't just the players or the coaches, but the entire stadium was quiet.

And how about BG trying to goad Collinsworth into a debate about the NFLN? He brought up the whole NFLN Comcast squabble and Collinsworth told him he was on his own. Then he brought it up latter and Collinsworth was just silent. Guess he doesn't know who signs his checks. And who promos a graphic that they might show later in the game? "There's a great graphic we have about the QB's taken before Romo, we'll show it to you later."

And I think they had a graphic promoting the upcoming Bears vs. Redskins game and made no mention of Sean Taylor.

A 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th will do just fine. No need to be fancy.

Seems as though you may not be aware of Tom Flores or former #1 pick Jim Plunkett!

Or Peyton Manning

Re: Packers vs. Cowboys
 

im so glad nobody booed or yelled during the moment of silence for Taylor.

No, I remembered them. I just choose not to acknowledge them because of a certain game down in Tampa a few years back :)

Re: Packers vs. Cowboys
 

The refs screwed the Pack yesterday. Besides the bad pass interference call that led to 7 points, did anyone else notice that they didn't call a penalty on TO for excessive celebration when he threw popcorn on himself. I thought the NFL rules barred the use of any props during a TD celebration. That was pretty hard to miss.
