As a Cowboy fan, I dont trust those news releases. Arrington & Bowen will probably start. The Skinz are trying to play mind games.

[Perdogg]

I thought you could no longer be dishonest about injuries.

[GLDNGUN]

I just wish that the Cowboys could come outta the chute right away and put the skinz in a catch-up mode....

You mean like that Monday Night game in Week 2? ;-)

[GLDNGUN]

I thought you could no longer be dishonest about injuries.

I hear speeding is against the law, too. ;-)

Seriously, I don't think Gibbs would lie. A little vague, maybe. Maybe he really does need to see who's healthy and feels good when they warm up tomorrow.

Looks like the big play defense is back.
Just in time for the playoffs.

Looks like the big play defense is back.

Yup... I just hope Belichick gave an earful to Seymour for "lateraling" that fumble recovery!

[johnny7]

LOL!

[GLDNGUN]

That was a pathetic "roughing the passer" call. He hit his shoulder pad. Geeez, when are they going to put skirts on the QBs?

[bikepacker67]

Damn! I LOVE BRUSCHI!

Back to back major plays... forced the fumble, then broke up the pass.

[GLDNGUN]

Yup. I still say he picks off a tipped Simms pass today near the goal line and spikes it in the EZ.

[Ultra Sonic 007]

And I heard Elway did the same thing when he was drafted by the Colts.

[bikepacker67]

Is it me, or are these Foxcasters Tampa Bay fans?

They sound almost like they're gonna cry.

[bikepacker67]

I'll tell ya one thing... the Pats better jump 3 or 4 places in the power-rankings after this smackdown!

[scott says]

The D looks solid today. McGinnest sack on 4th down...
Brady needs to march the team down the field and put this game away.

[GLDNGUN]

They probably just want a close game; otherwise, every one will go wrap some presents or do something else before the next game kicks off.

[GLDNGUN]

If he doesn't do it soon, he's going to be watching Flutie play.

[scott says]

That would be the thing to do...give Brady some rest. I would love to see Flutie come in and do well. Looks like they want one more TD out of Tom....

[GLDNGUN]

Yup. One more ought to do it, and it would be a good idea to give Flutie some more work.

[GLDNGUN]

TD!!!!!!!!

Flutie should be in next time the Pats get the ball. I have a friend who played with Flutie in the CFL. He said Doug was a first class guy all the way. Nice to know that some athletes are what they appear to be.

[scott says]

Maybe we can forgive him for campaigning for Hillary in the NY Senate race....maybe....lol
