DomeDefense Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 ESPNTurnover-prone Cowboys fall to FalconsComment Email ShareBy Jon RobinsonArchiveWhen the Falcons traded for Tony Gonzalez, a lot was said about the tight end being past his prime and how Atlanta made the wrong move. But after another strong game from the future Hall of Famer, the Falcons look like they in fact got the steal of the offseason.Matt Ryan found his big tight end seven times for 110 yards, including the go-ahead touchdown as the Falcons beat the Cowboys 27-14.Tony Romo, meanwhile, threw three interceptions for the Cowboys, fumbling twice more as Dallas stayed within striking distance for three quarters, but in the end couldn't overcome the five turnovers to beat a very good Falcons team.ATLANTA FALCONSPassing Rushing ReceivingSlot Player C/ATT YDS TD INT CAR YDS TD REC YDS TDQB Matt Ryan 24/36 280 3 2 0 0 0 0 0 0RB Michael Turner 0/0 0 0 0 22 72 0 0 0 0RB Jerious Norwood 0/0 0 0 0 14 44 0 2 34 0TE Tony Gonzalez 0/0 0 0 0 0 0 0 7 110 1WR Roddy White 0/0 0 0 0 0 0 0 8 81 1WR Michael Jenkins 0/0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4 38 1WR Brian Finneran 0/0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3 17 0Team 24/36 280 3 2 36 116 0 24 280 3KickingSlot Player Made Missed FG XP PTSPK Jason Elam 41, 50 2/2 2/2 8DALLAS COWBOYSPassing Rushing ReceivingSlot Player C/ATT YDS TD INT CAR YDS TD REC YDS TDQB Tony Romo 18/35 225 2 3 0 0 0 0 0 0RB Marion Barber 0/0 0 0 0 11 64 1 1 1 1RB Felix Jones 0/0 0 0 0 10 49 0 0 0 0RB Tashard Choice 0/0 0 0 0 7 37 0 0 0 0WR Patrick Crayton 0/0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 2 0WR Roy E.

duncja Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Was this a simulation?Yeah, they simmed the game in Madden and made an article out of it. Apparently they're hurting for material lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dem Birds Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 For some reason they have used our throwback logo all year on the Madden sims.Well, that's just odd. I doubt they are using anyone elses. They must just hate our current logo and are trying to send a message lol. I wouldn't mind a sleaker version of the old logo. Some sharp angles and curves, it could look nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntDG Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 yea a more edger rip you head off falcon logo would go nice with a super bowl win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock Howard Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 FWIW I strongly prefer the throwback logo.Also I used the online NFL simulator to simulate this week's content. In 10 runs, each team won 5 games. (Yes I adjusted the Falcons depth chart to match the expected DNPs.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*NiteFalcon* Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 if you look at the stats, it says the cowboys scored 3 TD's, 2 romo td's and one barber rushing it in. but it says they score 14 points. thats some emmit smith stuff right there.
