That's a seriously long pregame. Is it all televised?

Anyway, go Cowboys. Having some Cowboy fans over tonight to watch the game and for once we'll be cheering for the same team!

 

[Disco Volante]

That's a seriously long pregame. Is it all televised?

Yup.

Another thing to watch for, NFL sack leader (19) DeMarcus Ware is 3.5 sacks away from tying Micheal Strahan's record of 22.5 sacks, with two games remaining.

I gotta work tonight but will be checking on a computer for updates during the night. Still can't believe I'm "rooting" for the Cowboys...

 

[Connecticut]

Go Cowboys, beat those Crows

Mods do NOT move this thread until the visitng locker room until the game is over!

Whenever someone makes a OT game discussion thread you unnecessarily move it while the game is on.

It's not being moved to the Visitor's Locker Room. It's being moved to the NFL Forum, which Ian created a few months back. If you have a problem with the existence of that forum, then talk to Ian.

Last game ever played by Cowboys in Texas stadium, against a team that has never played there and that the Cowboys have never beat (lost twice to them all time in Baltimore).

Cowboys need to close out stadium with a win and help us in the Process.

Come on Tony Romo - can we finally get some freaking help this year??

If the ONE time i want romo and the cowboys to win turns out bad, IM going to dallas and dropping Jerry Jones in the stone cold stunner.

 

[OhExaulted1]

Let's just hope the Gayvens, Doophins and Jests all stumble giving us the window we need. Without that we are in trouble. We could win the AFC East and be a 3rd seed or miss the playoffs entirely.

9-5 would be an enviable position to be in than any other year than this one in our division and conference. The AFC is still the dominant conference. I still like our chances.

come on 'boys beat the crows

 

[Pats726]

This is a biggie...I was down after the Jags couldn't get a TD in the last seconds...so I don't WANT ANOTHER....last week was bad...as well. HOPING the Boys..do themselves a favor as well as the PATS!! Heck..if they lose..they are GONE for the playoffs...OR close to it.

 

[JSn]

Ed Reed was questionable. Anyone know if he's in or out?

 

[Kontradiction]

I can't believe I'm about to root for the Cowboys. It's like one of those "kill one, save a thousand" type situations.

 

[JSn]

How awesome would sleepy-time tomorrow be if the Ravens lose, the Jets lose, the Phins lose, and the Cards lose?

Talk about an early Christmas.

[Scouse Patriot]

Yeah that Jaguars game really sucked. I really thought they were going to score at the end, then if they would have won the coin toss........game over. That would have put Indy in the uncomfortable position of asking Fisher to lay down for them (which he might have done), or lose their season and resurrect ours.

There is NO way the Cowboys should lose this game tonight. None. But then again, it's the Cowboys and they haven't exactly been a model of consistency.
