Hey Mike -

I was hanging on the game, and it was one of the best I've seen. Fantastic stuff, how Romo came back from 5 interceptions and a fumble to run the final drive and score I have no idea.

And somehow, the Cubes also managed a win. With four starters (Palmer, Chad Johnson, Westbrook and Peterson) all on byes, I decided to make it harder for myself and not start Rivers - he'd been playing poorly, and the Broncos will be too tough I thought. So I looked to pick up a free agent - Green or Campbell? I decided on Green, which was looking good for about the first 3 minutes of the Miami game.

Luckily the Iguanas were also having problems, so I was 14 up before the Cowboys game. I had Crayton and Jones, Iguanas had Romo and Lynch. Thankfully one of the Romo TD throws was to Crayton so I think I finished ahead. A big comedown after the 229 the Cubes posted a couple of weeks ago, but a win's a win.

Looking forward to next week - I'll be cheering for Dallas (I never thought I'd ever say that, but they've been great to watch so far this year), so go Cowboys!

Regards

Mike

You're right, Romo could easily throw another 7 300 yard games this year - he's already 4 out of 5. He's got a bunch of targets - both tailbacks can catch, Witten is one of the top 3 TE in the league, Crayton is a competent wideout and TO is TO. The Cowboys are strong all over the park.

BTW - I went looking in the monster manual to look up Gelatinous Cube stats. I couldn't find the listing - were Cubes only in the basic rules? If so, would someone mind posting the entry here so I can see how many hit dice my team has?

Regards

Mike

Damn, sounds like an awesome MNF game.  Too bad it wasn't carried here.  I'm totally STOKED about next Sunday's game.

At halftime I emailed my gaming buddies and predicted a Cowboy victory.

I laughed SO HARD when Folk put the Bills away...laughter of demonic joy.

Then, I used Tivo to pause on the anquished faces of Bills fans and laughed some more.  

The whole stadium was so caught up in the thrill of artificial victory (two interception returns and a kick return) that they failed to notice their team wasn't moving the ball.  

The announcers were so caught up in the Trent Edwards story that they failed to notice the Bills actually had only a field goal from their offense.  

The refs were so caught up in the fervor that they called Owens for spiking the ball when he clearly just dropped it on the ground (the fever emotions in the arena caused them to be over-annoyed at having to go and pick the ball up).  

The refs had so "formed a picture" of the game that they could not see massive pass interference (blatant stuff) on the 2 point conversion try.  

And then....the Cowboys got the onside kick, survived the replay, survived the icing and downed the Bills.  HOOOO RAAAH!  

IF I did not have Romo at the center of my fantasy football team, the victory would be just too delicious to be believed.  

As it was...still...much derisive laughter here.  

Every point here..I agree with! I watched ESPN all day today just to see Folks kicks...over and over and over and over.....LOL.

One of my good friends is a Redskin fanatic..(don't ask).  Not just a casual fan...his house is Skinned out in Redskin colors.  He was so angry, upset and pissed off from last night's game HE COULDN'T GET TO SLEEP....I saw him online at 2 am (I was so hyped up I couldn't get to sleep, and the post game show was still going strong...)  I sent him some IMs, I finally got him slavering and foaming at the mouth about how much he absolutely hates the Bills now, since they failed at giving the Cowboys one of their most embarrasing losses ever...and instead turned it into one of their most improbably victories.  The only one that even comes close was a game against the Eagles in 1996 where the Eagles kicker missed a game tying extra point with no time on the clock.....

Anyway my friend was still fuming this morning....SWEET.  

I hope all those ridiculous Bills fans didn't sleep last night either....and they put the blame where it belongs, on their idiotic coach and some of the stupidest in game decisions I've ever seen. The entire last 5 minutes had at least three brain dead choices that lead directly to a Cowboys victory.  Not to get too techinical, but why was the rookie Bills QB throwing the ball at the end when they had the lead (which kept killing the clock, and led to the Newman interception), why was the Bills pass defense so terrible in the last 25 seconds (where Romo got an extra 12 yards for the FG after two sideline passes where both Barber and Crayton were completely uncovered), and why did they attempt a 54 yd FG before halftime with time enough on the clock, after the kick was missed, for the Boys to drive down and get a FG of their own?  Stupid, stupid, stupid.


I liked the part about Tivoing the anguished Bills fan's faces, Mark....LOL

BTW, any Australian fans of American football out there? Then you really need to jump on the Cowboy's bandwagon.....our Pro Bowl punter is an Aussie!!!

It's just that you're used to rugby, killjoy, where the players are allowed to eat their dead!  Basically a player can't mess with the receiver's body as the ball approaches the receiver. The defender can catch or bat the ball away before it reaches the receiver, and once the receiver touches, the ball, he can tackle the receiver.
