First???
Yes!!!!
Got Brad and Mickey on the radio cast tonight. Homeriffic!
Count me as one that isn’t going to get the game till tomorrow. I’m up here in Missouri watching an absolutely horrible Chiefs/Cardinals game. Like anyone friggin cares. Horrible feed too.
I want to see Carp the most. I want to see how he can play against some starters. Does he have the speed and coverage skills to cover backs and TE’s out of the backfield?? Is he tough enough to fill hard against the run?? We’ll see.
might be able to watch game if not on TV in your market; follow link.

Hey jk. Long time
Hey Kam, what up?
You think Bruce Read cuts his own hair? Yikes.
Oh goody, We get Ed “Gun Show” Hokuli tonight. Sweet
already our ST is messing up!
Not much jk. Trying to get those p2p feeds to work. No luck.
Oh CRAP! Canty got hurt!
Who was it that thought Eddie Royal was going to be so good after the Senior Bowl practices?? Oh yeah, me. He’s going to be a good player.
ZT is just ridiculous. What a steal
3rd down is still our bane. Don’t want to panic but I wonder if we’ll ever get better at it.
bummer! TD Denver.
Vanilla D. Still would like to see better coverage from our LB’s.
Stanback looked good. Fast.
Here’s where I’m watching now.
http://www.justin.tv/stillsportinwood
33yd retrn for stanback
Cruz in for Cricket
Gang tackle
Nice Columbo
Thanks for the link kameleon! Awesome.
Sloppy, sloppy
Dangit columbo!
Sounds like Deon may be concussed (listening to the radio broadcast)
Looking sloppy.
No prob Cosby. That kind of stuff never works for me. I was really surprised that it worked.
Nice toss, nice catch
T.O. looks good. He’s ready for the season!
Deon back in
Deon’s back
Yep, Barber is ready for the season as well!
Nice block/hold Crayton
Almost worked…
That was encroachment. Flip-flop time
Sloppy. Still time to work out the kinks. Work the middle Romo!!!
aww crap! Just pre season, but whats up with penalties!
They are looking very sloppy. Good thing it’s only pre-season, but bad thing the real games are just around the corner!
Looks like the Cowboys have rubbed off on the Broncos! LOL
Dang, this site is as slow as Jason Garrett’s grampa tonight. What up?
That’s junk
So where’s the pass rush?
CRAP!! ANOUTHER !% YD PENALTY!
I didn’t see the penalty. Just a late hit??
I sure like what I see out of Tank and Zach so far.
good to see the refs picking up right where they left off last year, giving the other team free first downs.
just stay healthy dallas. this is a good thing. get gashed around and stay grounded. you’re not super stars yet.
We suck. defensively
Kind of like last year. Wade doesn’t want to show any exotic blitz packages. No all out rushes at all.
Good point Jarhead. Give other teams what they can’t earn on the field via the flag.
Same old pass defense. Gonna be a long season.
Does anyone else get a “This web page could be a scam. Proceed with caution” message on this page? Keeps messing me up.
Cutler 8-8? WTF
They look awful!
Nice coverage, Roy
sigh….
what up kam ; )
as moose said in the broadcast, they know they’re going home tonight.
how focused can they be?
just stay healthy, this game means exactly dick to the starters. they just want to get off the field.
I have this feeling that the Cowboys D will still have the unique ability to make average QB’s look like Hall of Famers. We’ll see.
Or was that on Mikey?
I think Mike.
Hey Loozeana!!! Like a reunion. Just need the Princess and Joker now.
never let a quarterback complete every pass, and not only, but cutler even threw a touchdown
not even in preseason should that happen
lol - yup
if u ask me, this B.S. we are seeing now is a direct result of Wade’s “I’m your buddy”….”I’m your father figure” coaching style…..he’s too damn buddy buddy with them and now you see it in their play…they come into the first preseason games flat and undisciplined
Bradie James is s**t. Has Zach ever been whistle for unneccessary roughness.
Any first team worth its salt cares about the competition, pre season or not.
I know it is only preseason but this team is playing like a joke.
I thought Royal could have stepped in and filled in for Glenn. Great quickness and just caught everything. Seemed to fight off the jam very well. The Broncos got themselves a jewel.
Wow, Tony Curtis catches a pass without scoring a TD! LOL
I thought Tony Curtis only caught TDs?
if u ask me, this B.S. we are seeing now is a direct result of Wade’s “I’m your buddy”….”I’m your father figure” coaching style…..he’s too damn buddy buddy with them and now you see it in their play…they come into the first preseason games flat and undisciplined
dangit
Romo is not sharp… this is bad
It may be time to watch some Olympics coverage! I’ve seen enough.
Yep, I feel the same way. Just playing like it doesn’t matter. I know it doesn’t matter but you still want to play well. Secondary sucks right now with no T-New and no receiving threat besides TO and Witten.
ummmm,
relax. the defense will be fine.
where is witten?
SD is is being double teams as is TO.. get use to it until someone else can step up and make a few catches it is going to happen all year long
At least a nice punt from McBriar and maybe Jenkins will be a decent gunner…
LB’s still can’t cover. What’s new??
there is no pass rush
where’s pac-diggity jonez? has he been out there much tonight? holy crap they actually got pressure on cutler…..and then got an interference flag called….nice
maybe the Cowboys should have used another 1st round draft choice on the D.. oh thats right they did.. Jarhead when is the D going to start being ok.. they have not stopped anyone yet
cutler 12 for 12
thats another bad call refs.
another 15 yd penalty!
holy crap - we held them
3rd and 5, incomplete.
umm ref, reach for your flag.
what say we get ourselves a quick TD, a defensive stop, and a FG before half time…sounds good to me
Come on Danny
give me some FELIX gall damnit!!! that boy looked GOOD last week
I think Campo is jinxing us!
what loozeeana said
FELIX!!! nice run…kid is gonna be special i think
woooooooooooo felllllixxx
Johnson is in.. I think Romo needs more work…..
Tripping? Pulled that out of his bag of tricks…
two games and same sloppy play…
wow refs. im shocked.
My Man Brad Johnson! Yeah buddy. Sigh.
jarhead while accoring to the radio there have been some poor calls .. the Cowboys are playing like crap.. again
TFL for Spears. Nice
pacman returning the punt
Rat sez Na-uh
maybe we should try to score now
Nice 3 and out. Good job D.
at least spears came 2 play
somkeone better tell Adam he cant spike the ball.. they added that rule last year when he was sitting at home
sirius,
relax already.
they’ll be fine.
and what do you mean “again?”
their first team D and O was dominant last week, and they looked pretty good on that last drive too.
i’ll even take the delay flag on jones, his return was worth it.
ITS THE PRE-SEASON PEOPLE.
RELAX.
what did AJ do?
—MAN does his thing
brad johnson - a born scrambler
Spiked/spun the ball after the return. Dumb new rule from last year
Breaking news: Leonard Davis is a WIDE man.
nice! miles austin
austin makin a case. keep it up kid.
1st and goal.
Woah, nice catch Miles
Jarhead,
they played one series against a team (SD) that held out the best RB in the league and best reciever. I could care less if they win preseason games, but play good and dont make stupid mistakes
WoW along pass by Johnson
Did miles austin have to go up for the ball or was brad johnsons pass on the mark?
Wow, Austin’s looking good!
miles austin as the 3rd receiver? anyone?
yea austin,
who needs glenn, im getting austin in my fantasy league
boysfan - he went up pretty high in the air and snatched it
there you go austin, keep talkin.
umm sirius,
they didnt make any mistakes last week (the 1st teams).
who was this best receiver that got held out? TO? he played as i recall.
do you feel better now that the cowboys scored?
they’re going to win some games this year, relax.
your pills?
I hate not being able to see the game. Its hurts lol
Austin may be better as a #2. Crayton is good in the slot. Hurd can back up X and Y
And now Austin is limping… damn
Austin is hurt
is there a radio feed out there with the game? the live blogging is nice but I wouldnt mind hearing it
radio says its his knee
I agree, jkdallas. The way Austin is playing, I’d put him at #2.
Jarhead, I do feel better :0)
right knee
Austin… right knee being looked at
boysfan - are you on a high speed net connection? did you try the link that Kameleon posted earlier?
http://www.justin.tv/stillsportinwood
it’s showing the game right now live
I wish I could see the game too. Does Denver still have in the first team D?
click the link in post 133 to see the game.
oh wow thanks
greatly appreciated! i can relax now haha
Scandrick almost got that one, yes?
Is austin ok
look at that,
nothing goes dallas’ way in 1st half, and they come off…..
a whopping 7 points behind.
reading some of these posts, i’d think we were down 35 points or something.
fellas,
there are going to be games where we make mistakes, where things dont go our way (witness detroit, buffalo last year).
it happens. there are also game where we dominate like we can (witness at philly last year).
this team cant (and wont) panic over 1st halfs of pre-season games, nor do you want them to.
BTW,
punt coverage looked better.
Jarhead, i can panic enough for everyone. Pre-season jitters!
SD,
why jitters? im glad the season is coming.
save the jitters for week 1.
AND THE PLAYOFFS.
We were at Invesco Field when it first opened for an Eagles concert and I though it was pretty awesome… I can’t imagine how much cooler the new Cowboy’s barn will be
Jarhead,
They do not look excited to be out there. They are not flying around. I watching the Seattle Chicago game and both teams are flying around and high 5ing each other after making a play.
Dont know, just got those negitive vibes like moriarity. I know it will be OK tho. Anyone hear anything on Canty? He is one of my favorites.
Anyone notice denver took a TO while dallas was down near their goal?
i think shannahan wanted to test his 2 minute offense.
i thought when dallas kept their 1st team in and started stunting that denver would run draws to protect their QB.
they went back to throw though and cutler got hit hard by ware.
the dallas defense will be fine.
JK
I took a tour of Invesco field a week ago. it is a very nice.
jarhead
Ok I am going to hold you to that
sirius,
would you rather have chicago or seattle’s team or dallas’???!?!?!?!?!
are you kidding.
they’re not interested b/c they break camp TONIGHT and fly HOME.
where do you think their mind is?
sprined right knee for austin
Miles is going to be gone for a while
Austin has a sprained knee… not sure how bad yet.
Cruz has an Emmitted shoulder
Seattle is going to be good this year Jar…
FELIX!!!!!!!!
News flash: Felix has a little sumpthin
Damn.. sprained knee could be serious. Might not be though
Dang, Brad
Folking money
