Liveblogging: Cowboys at Lions, 12/9/2007

Second half. Lions receive. Nothing special on the return. That would be a step up for the Lions coverage. Jones gets a chunk of yardage. Run again. 3rd and 1. Dallas D could really use a 3 and out to start the 2nd half. Lions pass..incomplete. Fools. Run for a 1st down. Lions are scared to power this game out. Punt bounces out around the 3. There you go Joe Buck. Do you need a minute of Buck time after getting to see a punt go out of bounds?

Commercial break. Onstar commercial. Okay so how far away are we from me being able to cuss out the drivers who sit in my blind spot matching my speed?

Cowboys with a short run. Another Lions player limps off.

Commercial break. Play artist Jefferson Starship.

Cowboys on their 5. 2nd and 8. Short pass to Owens. Flag. Pass interference. Declined to force 3rd down. Complete to Owens for the 1st. Romo butterfingers a pass into the ground. Jones stuffed on the run. Cowboys don't need Jones yet. They need to stay with Barber right now. 3rd and 9. Delay of game and Romo spiked the ball. Two delay of game penalties. They can only take one I guess. 3rd and 14. Sack. Romo should have stepped up into the pocket. A very poor punt. Detroit gets it on the Dallas 40.

Commercial break. Monkey CDW commercial. Can I please get a show of monkeys playing sports? Why is this taking so long to happen?

Lions with the ball. Kitna escapes the rush and completes a pass for no gain. Short run. 3rd and long. Complete to Johnson for the 1st down. Duckett powers out some yards. 2nd and 3. Duckett gets the 1st. Short run. Short pass. 3rd and 5. Pass for a 1st down. 1st and goal. Cowboys D can't get off the field. Short run. Then Jones gets another touchdown. 27-14 Lions with 4:19 to go in the 3rd quarter.

Commercial break. That music and christmas lights commercial again. Every December I guess.

Robot football player angers me right now. Weird short we can't cover a kickoff and Cowboys get it to the 40.

Commercial break. The easy going music on the Apple commercial only serves to further fuel my rage.

Romo completes to Witten for the 1st. Barber catches a pass for 8 yards. Cowboys are losing and haven't committed a turnover. Weird. Witten catches another pass for a 1st down. Cowboys want a late hit. No flag. Barber runs for 7 yards. Complete to Owens for a 1st down. Cowboys are going downhill. Complete to Witten for another 1st down. Cowboys haven't seen a 3rd down on this drive. Good pace. 1st and goal. Another Lion is down. Lions crowd is getting into it. Settle down folks. You will draft another wide receiver soon enough. Toss to Barber. Too deep this close to the goal line. Stopped. 2nd and goal. Pass complete to Barber. Barber stacked up by the Lions short of the score. 3rd and goal. End of the quarter.

Commercial break.

Short pass to Barber. Stopped short. Cowboys will go for it. Barber gets a handoff and walks in. Why? Because it was a simple straight ahead run. Hand off and power in. It is easy to call plays near the goal line people. 27-21 Lions with 14:12 to go in the 4th quarter.

Commercial break. Hey this is the 1st Peyton Manning commercial I recall seeing today. I must be zoning out during most of them.

Lions return the kick to the 35. A crowd shot of a decent looking woman dressed up in a Santa suit. Joe Buck seems intrigued.

Commercial break. WebMD. The internet is where I get all my weird diseases to claim when I call in sick.

Play action pass to McDonnell for a 1st down. Jones runs for almost 20 yards and another 1st down. Short run for Duckett. Joe and Troy keep talking about something Kitna said last year. Hey guys we have a close game. We don't need the filler. Kitna pass for another 1st down. Lions in the red zone. Kitna pressured and throws incomplete. Short pass to Johnson. Good tackle by Newman. Johnson spikes ball...sorta..Flag. Delay of game. 3rd and 14 now. Kitna incomplete. 4th down. Field goal is no good. Oh that one is probably going to haunt them. Still 27-21 Lions.

Commercial break. Wendy's Baconater. At what point do we just get a side of bacon with our food?

Cowboys ball. Incomplete to Witten. Kind of looked like a catch. No challenge. Complete to Crayton on a fly. 1st down. Jones gets a short pass for 8 yards. Romo complete to Huard for a 1st down. Shaun Rogers keeps taking breathers for Detroit. Incomplete to Crayton. 2nd and 10. Jones catches a short 5 yarder. 3rd down and the Lions get a chance to get off the field. Crowd responding. Romo finds Witten for the 1st. All day if they are going to take Owens out of the game. Complete to Crayton for a 1st down at the 5. 1st and goal. Another Lion down.

Commercial break. Visa Saints
