On the play when Felix Jones tightroped the sidelines. Diles was the LB at the end and he would have made the tackle but he was being held which allowed Jones to zip right past him. I saw it live and saw it again when they showed the replay. Just blatant. Surely they teach officials to watch for that.

[HPF Bob]

So, of course, CBS goes running off to talk to Tony Romo, not Matt Schaub. And they wonder why Schaub gets no national pub.

The Texans must be playing well. Chuck is silent.

Funny. I was at the game. You can't get cell signal for shit in there. And no, I was anything but silent.

This play happened in "my" end zone and I saw the whole thing unfold so beautifully. I thought he was going to throw to Walter who he had wide open underneath on a slant but then I saw Jacoby dragging over the middle pursued helplessly by a couple of Cowboys.

By the way, this south end zone is the very same end zone where the Quincy Carter sack took place and that first bomb to Corey Bradford, too, was headed in this direction. It's also where Gary Walker shared his thoughts with Jerry Jones after that glorious game. So, yeah, I'm fond of it.
