Barber shut down but the clock keeps ticking
Where’d everyone go? Were they all Packers fans?
Any time outs left?
Barber shut down again
1
Game over.. 37 ~ 27 1 min on the clock
Dallas beats an injured GB team.
See yall in the playoffs
Oh well, those darn Cowboys won again. Night all
That one minute will be knee down on every play I guess!
At least the Pack knows they can win down there with a healthy D
Nope, but look out. you havnt met the Browns and the Steelers yet
Yes they can, and know we all know
Very true. There is still a chance for them to botch the
whole season! They’ve done it before!
The boys were impressive tonight, but they’ve had alight season so far IMHO
1. Congratulations to the Cowboys and their fans. I have nothing but warm regards and respect for the both of them. What we witnessed tonight were the two classiest teams in the NFL going heads up like Godzilla vs. Mothra. These two teams, and their fans I believe, have the utmost respect for one another, as evidenced by continual good sportsmanship on both sides. It was a fine game.
2. I'm a diehard Packers fan, and I am sorry that Brett got hurt. I hope it doesn't mean the end of our season, but I think that everyone can agree that Green Bay's second string QB startled the hell out of everyone watching. Boy, has he got a mentor like Obi Wan Kenobi, or what? Who IS that kid?
3. I just saw the Cowboys play the best they've done so far this season. I don't know if it's enough for them to go all the way. Sure, the Patriots have had a schedule against a lot of crappy teams, but I admit that they're blowing those lame-o teams out by 30+ points per game on average.
4. If Brett hadn't got hurt, I don't think Cowboys would have won this game. They intended to go hard on Favre and keep him pinned down with their mighty and formidable offense, but could barely manage a sack against Green Bay's second string QB. Not only that, but Aaron Rodgers even rushed for yardage and two first downs right in Dallas' face. That makes me think two things: That kid is good and Dallas' defense was bewildered at several key points in the game.
5. I watched the game from the Peppermill casino's Sports Book tonight in beautiful downtown Reno Nevada. I sat next to a Cowboys fan who took a $100 bet against a stupid Packers fan who gave him even odds on the game. I call this a meeting of two fools; If you're ever lucky enough to find a sucker who wants an even break when the rest of the established gaming world says that the point spread is Dallas by 7, you simply must negotiate half that spread and make your opponent think you're doing him a favor. That way, even if the Cowboys would have lost you'd be consoling yourself with a winning bet. Conversely, what happened to this kid is that his $100 bet was in jeopardy all the way into the 4th quarter against Green Bay's second string QB. I call that ignorant. Always hedge your bets against an overbearing loudmouth. Never make it a meeting of two fools in any negotiation.
6. The loser of this game gets a bye week in the playoffs and half-time home field advantage. That means that some poor teams are going to have to play in Green Bay right about the time the weather in Minnesota turns to Soviet-era Siberian work camp weather. Let me just say that if you've never been hit hard in freezing cold weather, you've never been hit. Dallas on the other hand wins home field advantage in the middle of Texas. I call this a draw.
7. The AFC can kiss my ass.
