Brett Favre A Step Close To Super Bowl XLIV

January 18th, 2010 andrewpollard

nflA ferocious defence helped Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings get past the Dallas Cowboys and set up an NFC Championship showdown on Sunday with the New Orleans Saints.

The Vikings overwhelmed Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, sacking him six times, intercepting one pass and throwing the whole Dallas offence off balance to let 40-year-old quarterback Favre engineer a comprehensive victory at Mall of America Field.

It was a torrid afternoon for Romo, who committed three fumbles, twice turning the ball over to the Vikings for whom opposite number Favre was faultless. (more…)

What NFL Team Was The Most Disappointing?

January 18th, 2010 Peter

nflThe upcoming AFC and NFC title games are destined to be classics if only to help get the bad taste out of our mouths from this past weekend.

Brett Favre, Reggie Bush and the Jets defense aside, it would be hard to imagine a collection of four games more disappointing after all the hype that led up to them.

20-3. 45-14. 34-3. 17-14.

Who could have imagined there would be two teams unable to score a playoff touchdown and that the Dallas Cowboys would be calling a team classless for running up the score. (more…)

Dallas Cowboys Vs. New Orleans Saints NFL Week15 Match Result

December 20th, 2009 andrewpollard

nflResult: Dallas 24, New Orleans 17

A perfect record would have been lagniappe, as they say in Louisiana — a little something extra.

The history-making achievement the Saints and their fans really covet is a first Super Bowl appearance, which is all that’s left to accomplish now that Tony Romo and Dallas ended their December doldrums at New Orleans’ expense.

Drew Brees and the Saints are marching toward an unbeaten season no more after their frenzied rally fell short in a 24-17 loss to the Cowboys on Saturday night.

“This is going to sting for a while but we’ve got to be able to put this behind us,” Brees said, noting that the Saints remain in control to finish the No. 1 playoff seeding in the NFC. “It’s all about the next game.” (more…)

Cowboys grab sixth win in last seven games

November 27th, 2009 billgerber

nflTony Romo and the Dallas Cowboys had their way with the Oakland Raiders, piling up their most yards of the season and getting another solid performance from the defense.

Oakland Raiders Vs. Dallas Cowboys Week12 NFL Match Preview

November 25th, 2009 Peter

The NFC East-leading Dallas Cowboys are wondering what’s going on with their offense.

The Cowboys expect a banged-up Tony Romo to play Thursday afternoon, but they could be without leading receiver Jason Witten when they host the Oakland Raiders for the first time in 11 years.

Dallas (7-3) has failed to score through the first three quarters of its last two games, losing 17-7 at Green Bay on Nov. 15 and winning 7-6 over Washington on Sunday.

It was determined that Romo was suffering from back problems in the aftermath of Sunday’s win. The Cowboys feel he is improving and will start Thursday.

“We’ve already talked to Tony and he says he feels a lot better. …. He had a little bit of stiffness. He had quite a bit during the ballgame, but says he feels a lot better,” coach Wade Phillips said. (more…)
