That sequence of events is what gave the Saints a short field to work with with less than a minute to play in the half, and they subsequently kicked a field goal to close the gap from 10-3 to 10-6.

The missed 51-yard field goal attempt by Stover occurred early in the 4th quarter, with the Colts clinging to a 17-16 lead.


I believe that you are correct about Stover, though ........ he was in his last season in the NFL, and at 42 years-old he was very reliable from inside of 45 yards at that point in his career, but not so much from deeper than that.

You sir are correct, but Caldwell was still an idiot.

Baskett my ass. Can't catch a kick that comes straight to him.
The way Baskett tells the story, is that he had the ball and when he heard someone calling blue ball, blue ball he relinquished it.

May or may bot be true.

I call bullsh*t. The ball bounced off his helmet and flew 5 yards away from him. He fell flat on the turf, got up and then jumped the pile after almost a full second.

I couldnt make a gif for copyright, but.... it's here at 3:32...

Possession in the pile wasnt clear when he jumped in, but the whole thing is irrelevant if he'd caught the damn thing.

.....and then he fucked a tranny and Kendra gave him a case of permanent blue balls. Seems an appropriate bit of karma for robbing us all of a second Super Bowl.

The other thing to note is that Reich knows the Cowboys very well from his Philly days. When it comes to familiarity we have the edge.

Amari Cooper is going to be a challenge for Desir. But, he did hold Deandre Hopkins to 4 catches on 10 targets for 26 yards. Deandre Hopkins is currently the 9th best receiver in the league, while cooper is 39th.

Cooper has 4 games over 100 yards, and 4 games over 10 catches (2 games over 180 yards, one with Oakland). With the exception of his first game in Dallas (a loss to the Titans), the Cowchickens have won every game since.

He exploded last week vs Philly, catching 10 of 13 of 217 yards and 3 tds. Granted Philly is the 30th ranked defense against the pass, and Indy is 14th vs the pass.

What does Eberflus do here, make sure the guy gets chipped at the line, have a safety spotlight cooper to help Desir?

If we can somehow shut down cooper, I like our chances better against stopping Ezekiel Elliot. The Cowboys have only won two games when Elliot is held under 100 yards. That's a bit of a bullshit stat because any team with a 100 yard rusher is likely to win, but it is what it is.

I don't think Prescott is as much a threat rushing as he used to be, and that is a direct result of the quality of Dallas' OL going down. The only time Prescott rushed for more than 80 yards was their inexplicable 40-7 loss to the Jaguars.

So if we can shut down cooper and bring pressure against the run we have a solid chance.

I'm concerned about Glowinski being out, but hopefully Kelly's return and our depth will offset missing a starter on OL.

I agree. Also, after watching that whole clip, they emitted a key Garcon drop on a slant that was probably going to go for a TD.

Hopkins is a better WR than Cooper. If Desir can shut down Hopkins then he can shut down Cooper. Also, I'm confident that Haeg will be an adequate replacement for Glowinski.

I think the key to winning the game will be to stop the run. I feel very good about forcing Dak to beat us through the air. I think his success comes through balance in the offense. I think we have a shot to slow down Zek. Really impressed with what Eberflus has done with the personel - plenty of speed on obvious passing situations, but also lots of bulk to anchor the DL early to stop the run. I don't think any of this matters though if TY is out.

Winning out will be very tough and the Cowboys will be the toughest team remaining. Here is to hoping we can pull it off.
