I also remember that Sean Taylor wasn't playing. He could have made a big difference in that game.

That was the one Taylor was injured for, just before his death.

It's funny how many Cowboy fans forget the other games where he was a non factor. Just like everyone else said, Taylor was out and there wasn't a plan in place. Tell me that Moss wouldn't have dropped the same kind of yardage on a second string safety (hell, he did it against FIRST string Roy Williams, but I try not to harp on that ;))

You know we will always see "apples and oranges" on this subject. But as for those "other games" you mentioned from Owens first season with Dallas, that was the year that Owens played the entire season with a broken bone in his hand, and although he led the league in dropped balls, he still led the league in TD's too. He played hurt the whole season and had surgery in the off-season to fix that bone in his hand.

In the same spirit though, we have all seen Santana Moss take himself out of games for one reason or another.

And the only game Owens played last year against Washington was in November of last season, he did not play the second game due to a high ankle sprain.

I believe that one of our DB's broke his hand in that first season you speak of. Can't remember his name though. It was some 3rd or 4th stringer. Not Ade Jimoh but.... It doesn't matter

Re: Cowboys Extend Terrell Owens
 

Well my thought is this. Since joining Dallas, Owens has faced the Redskins 3 times. In those 3 games his combined numbers are 18 receptions, 268 yards and 5 TD's.

Those numbers are not outlandish, but I'll take'em

Santana Moss in 5 games against the Cowboys has 28 rececptions 537 yards and 4 TD's. Those numbers also are not outlandish but I will take them.

He's definitely a guy we need to stop to beat dallas. I won't argue against his ability & his performance on the field when he's not crying & whining at his coaches or teamates. TO is still at the top of his game & I'll give credit to JJ et al for keeping him in check.

He is still to me very easy to hate & hard to feel sorry for, especially when crying before a camera. And everyone has a weakness, his is going across the middle knowing he's going to get popped mercilessly. Landry will likely make some mistakes by being overly agressive, but he'll also pop TO enough to make him remember it.
I'll have my popcorn ready for that!

With Landry now at FS, he brings Taylor's physical brand of play back there. I look for TO to have drops facing Landry as he did nearly every game that he faced the prospect of getting layed out by #21.

Re: Cowboys Extend Terrell Owens
 

If taylor was that good, why did the skins have the record that they had before he got hurt? I guess he would have played qb and not have thrown an int if he would have played against dallas.

Re: Cowboys Extend Terrell Owens
 

If ST was that great, why did the skins have the record they had before he got hurt? I guess he would have played QB in that game too and he wouldnt have thrown that INT to T-New.

The Redskins had a winning record at 5-4 heading into that game, what's your point?

Re: Cowboys Extend Terrell Owens
 

I can see you're going to last a long time here. Any reason you posted the same ignorant comment twice?

Since when is or 5-4 a losing record? JC Might not have needed to throw that pass that got intercecpted at the end of the game if Talor was healthy. TO would have never put up 4 TD's with Taylor there.

You know what nevermind, we got something for TO this year. Just remember we won the last time our teams met.

Re: Cowboys Extend Terrell Owens
 

Don't get me wrong, I have alot of respect for what ST accomplished in his short time, but I hear too many people use his absence as an excuse for a wr having a big day against the skins. Receivers get paid to perform too. What those people who make excuses need to do is complain about that weak pass rush the skins put up. As for me posting twice, that was a mistake.
