Cowboys vs Eagles 9-15-08

Anyone also watch the game. What a great game. Full of excitement.

I can't believe no one has touched on this topic yet! I was just coming on here to post about it.

HOW BOUT THEM COWBOYS!!!!!!!!!!!

Instant Classic, full of emotion and action. But I think I am ready for some kind of penalty system for the refs too. Granted, my boys got away with two face masks that should have been called, but they were not score inducing penalties.

That Pass Interference call was pure BS, I don't know how that ref missed the pull of the jersey, he was less than 5 feet away from the play. Also it was not touched on by the commentators, but on the ensuing play, the reason Westbrook was able to get to the corner was due to the fact that our Corner was held, I think it was Jenkins #31. If you watch the highlights pay attention if they show the angle from the left side of the field, the side where Westbrook "scored". Again the ref missed a big one there as the hold was on the last man to the sideline. Horrible calls.

But in the end, my boys came out victorious so it's all good!

Great game, the debacle (sp?) of a touchdown by the Eagles in the 2nd quarter had me laughing really really hard, especially since Westbrook is on my fantasy team and got a 1 yard score out of it which won me the week this week.

Oh, I had the complete opposite reaction considering DeSean Jackson is on my team and that lack of TD lost me a game... :mad:
I was texting one of my friends who's an Eagles fan during the game, and we were ranting about that play for like half an hour.

It was a great game, although I couldn't watch it as much as I wanted during the 2nd half because I was playing poker. Once I got knocked out I went over to the bar to watch the end. Wish the result was different though. I still don't understand why McNabb didn't throw it away on that crucial sack at the end, or why they opted to try that crazy lateral play on the 4th down. Whatever, we all know the 'Skins are going to sweep the Cowboys again this season anyway!

GO SKINS!

that was about the best game ive seen since the super bowl last year. Great job to both teams. Look forward to seeing them in the playoffs or super bowl

You mean on Sunday, Dec 28th...
And yup, that was a great game. Even if the Eagles did lose. Jackson should be flogged and the Cowboys need to learn how to keep thier hands off peoples facemasks. Oh, well I guess they don't, those penalties don't get called do they?
The Eagles shall have their revenge. :)

That was someone's oh so well shot video of DeSean Jackson's other fumble on the 1-yard line (in a HS All-Amercian game). I remembered seeing it on SportsCenter several years ago after they play in the game, but I had no freaking idea that it was DeSean Jackson as well until they showed it again after the game.

Did anybody see that play where Jackson dropped the ball before he got in the touchdown zone. What an idiot. I was shocked to see he threw the ball behind him and nobody jumped on it.

If you see it again, which I am sure you will about 100 times, if you notice #21 Adam Jones (formerly Pacman) turned around and headed for the ball, but the ref signaling a touchdown which is just as good as a whistle blow, so it would not have mattered. That is why Jones stopped.

EDIT: Found a link to the highlights

2:10 - On the replay of the touchdown Watch #84 on #31 - Jenkins, Held on the Right Shoulder Pad and actually spun around and was why Jenkins was up in the face of the ref afterwards.

3:38 - You will see Adam Jones turn around and run for the ball, but looks over at the ref who signaled it a touchdown, ending the play.
