Watched a little of the preseason game of Indy @Dallas.

You know what really pisses me off. Is seeing what Dallas is going to, and the Defense Don't. As may times as we play Dallas, you kind of learn what they are doing. It never fails, third and 15, they spread the field with WRs and run up the middle. Now, with this new coach I wasn't sure if this was going to happen, but it did.

OkOkOk.... So they study these teams before they play them.... I mean this happens in regular season. It happens against us..... I can see the play happening, and this run up the middle works almost everytime AS IF THEY DIDN"T THINK DALLAS WOULD DO THAT. COME OOOOON.

Someone please explain this to me. Have you guys seen this. Or not even this play, but seen somthing happen, and you know its going to happen, but the D don't. It pisses me off. Like the Eagles running on almost every first down. And Homo throwing to T.O. when he starts feeling pressure.

I just Don't get it. They say they study these things before games. Why does this happen??

In the preseason game last night, the first string guys couldn't get the TD. They drove down the field and froze in the red zone. Cowpies first string played two series, both leading to field goals. Peyton and his first string played on one series, also leading to a field goal. Peyton still looked good, and didn't look like he lost any fire, after winning the SB. It took Brad Johnson to start scoring TDs for the Cowpies along with Indys second team O throwing INTs for TDs. Now the headline for the game on NFL.com is "Romo sharp as 'Boys win in Phillips' debut"

I don't get it. You are mad because Dallas played well last night?

Uh. . .what?

Heck yeah!! I hate Dallas!!!!

No but really, what Im mad about is that one dag play.

3rd 15 or, 3rd an 20. They spread the WRs out.. The D gets in Nickel and is easy to run up the middle, so Dallas runs up the middlle for 15 or 20 yards. Not mad because they did, made because the do it over and over and over and over again, and no D is ever expecting them to run. Im just saying, when this is the pros, and they watch film and they see them do this over and over again, but when it come time and its 3rd and 15, the defense is cought off gard up the middle.

Dude you got to realize they made it because Little Jones was up against the second team or up against the vets who don't want to get hurt. Once that little guy gets the ball in the regular season he falls down on a leg tackle.

That one run is nothing to get excited about. Relax!

The Cowgirls had their first string D up until the half

There is no mistake that you are a Redskins fan! Just don't throw your remote through the tv if they pull the same trick on us

Hindsight is always 20/20...

I think that happens to all of us at one point or another. The problem is you begin to think that the play you "predicted" happens more often than not. In reality, you/we probably guess the correct play about the same percentage of the time we are wrong - at least in my opinion.

So, I could say something like, they almost always run the play I predicted... but I'll tend to forget about the plays that I guessed wrong, and the coaches actually got right.

Either way, Indy never puts much stock in preseason games. Nor do they need to, apparently. I have to admit, the Pukes actually looked fairly good last night - but we'll still beat their butts when it comes time!

I'm ready for Dallas now.............

The Cowboys are going to suck this year. Trust me they have a new coach, I dont see them making any noise this year.

Whatever...I hate Dallas with a passion but they looked light years better than us in the first pre-season game. About all the teams in the NFL looked better than us!

And to think I really had to just admit that! Sad

At least your are Realistic about it.

And yes, Dallas did leave their starting D in the entire first half and both Cutler and Henry were in the last real drive of the first half as well.

It IS only a preseason game so you can take it for what it is.

i cant stand dallas ass neitha. we'll punish da cowgirls. redskins all day every day
