Bailey lifts Cowboys over 49ers in OT

Football Betting Lines

09/18/2011 - San Francisco, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Dan Bailey hit a 48-yard field goal as time expired to send the game into overtime and then nailed an 19-yard chip shot to give the Cowboys a 27-24 victory over the 49ers.

Tony Romo suffered a fractured rib in the first half and missed some time in the third quarter, but engineered the game-tying drive late in the fourth and hit Jesse Holley with a 77-yard pass to set up the game-deciding field goal.

Romo threw for 345 yards and two scores on 20-of-33 pass attempts in the win for Dallas (1-1).

Miles Austin caught three TD passes for the first time in his career and tallied 143 receiving yards. Jason Witten caught seven passes for 102 yards and Holley totaled three catches for 96 yards.

Alex Smith completed 16-of-24 pass attempts for 179 yards, two touchdowns and an interception for San Francisco (1-1).

Delanie Walker and Kyle Williams were on the receiving end of Smith's two TDs.

Trailing by three with a little over four minutes left in the game, Dallas started a drive at its own 26-yard line. Romo completed back-to-back passes to Holley, placing the ball at the Dallas 45.

An Austin seven-yard catch gave the Cowboys a first down after the two-minute warning. Another seven-yard grab by Austin and a one-yard run by Tashard Choice gave Dallas a third-and-two at the 28-yard line. The Cowboys gave a toss to Austin, who was stopped short of the first down and fumbled, but Dallas recovered at the 30.

Bailey's 48-yard field goal as time expired tied the game and sent it into overtime.

The 49ers won the toss and got the ball to begin the extra period. Smith started the drive with a 12-yard completion to Ted Ginn Jr. But after a seven- yard run by Frank Gore, Smith was sacked for an eight-yard loss. San Francisco couldn't convert the third down and were forced to punt.

On Dallas' first play of their drive, Romo floated a pass down the middle to Holley for a 77-yard gain. Holley was taken down at the one-yard line,

Bailey stepped up and split the uprights on a 19-yard field goal to give the Cowboys their first win of the year.

Romo led a 14-play, 7 1/2-minute drive to start the game, leading the Cowboys down to the San Francisco three-yard line, but the drive stalled there and Bailey missed a 21-yard field goal wide right.

Each team then traded punts before the 49ers started a drive at their own 32 with 3:34 left in the first quarter. San Francisco converted all three third- down attempts on the drive and a pass interference penalty on Bradie James in the end zone put the ball on the one-yard line.

Gore rumbled in for the score to put the 49ers ahead early in the second quarter.

Dallas was forced into a three-and-out on its next possession and Ginn returned the ensuing punt 20 yards to the Cowboys' 48-yard line.

Smith made completions of 12 and 10 yards to Josh Morgan before hitting Williams on the left-side of the end zone for a 12-yard score. Williams made the grab over a defender and kept his feet inside the sideline for his first career touchdown.

After the teams traded punts again, the Cowboys took over with a little over three minutes to go in the half. Romo's pass fell incomplete on a third-and- nine, but a San Francisco offsides penalty gave Dallas a second chance.

On the next play, Romo hit Austin for a 53-yard score to make it a 14-7 game at the half.

Romo did not return for the second half as he received a fractured rib on a hit during a pass attempt in the first half, and Jon Kitna took over the offense for the start of the third quarter.

Kitna hit Witten for 12 and nine-yard gains on his first drive of the third, but overthrew Witten in the end zone, resulting in a Donte Whitner interception.

Three plays later, though, Smith was picked off by Alan Ball at his own 33 and Ball ran down to the 49ers' 18-yard line. Kitna found Austin for a five-yard TD on the drive to tie the game.

On Dallas's next possession, Kitna tossed his second interception of the quarter, and on the next play Smith dropped a pass into the hands of Walker for a 29-yard score with under a minute to go in the third.

Romo took the field for the Cowboys' next possession, but was held to a three- and-out. San Francisco then took over at its own 48 and a Smith 12-yard scramble set up David Akers' 55-yard field goal, putting the 49ers ahead 24-14 with 11:12 to go in the game.

Dallas was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct on the kick, but first-year head coach Jim Harbaugh curiously opted to take the points instead of extending the drive.

Romo led the Cowboys 80 yards down the field, going 5-of-7 through the air, including a fourth-down conversion and a 25-yard touchdown pass to Austin to make it a three-point game.

FOOTBALL TRASH TALK

NFL Football Trash Talk

Trash talk has a place in every competitive endeavor (except baseball; those stirrup-wearers are too busy chewing on their sunflower seeds and their supplements to worry about what their opponents are doing).

Fantasy sports is no exception. Any intelligent discussion of the subject would probably start with a thesis statement or a definition of terms. Thankfully, this wont be an intelligent discussion.

Let me just say that I am happy to take a place in this space alongside my talented colleagues, even our commissioner. (You should see how she bleats like a demented paper boy about league fees on our fantasy site).

Trash talking, I would argue, is primarily about amusing your friends, their sheeplike demeanors and sloping foreheads notwithstanding. The best place I have found for football trash talking is at www.SportsAlarm.com.

Beyond the entertainment factor, though, I would recognize that the sophomoric ritual has one advantage, when properly applied. It magnifies your fantasy triumphs and mitigates your fantasy failures by transforming the eventual point total into an afterthought. Winning makes it seem like your opponent really is a truss-owning, lapel-pin-wearing nitwit. And in defeat, trash talk can be the air bag to break the fall from your hyperbolic heights. The plug-necked yahoos on your team, you can say, will be sacking groceries by the end of the season.

The best trash talk, in my view, is layered and nuanced. And it doesnt focus only on your opponents team. It picks apart your opponent. The idea is to create a shock-and-awe-scale blizzard of nonsense, and the goal is to make your opponent drop his hands from his keyboard in exasperation.

What team does your opponent root for? Accuse a Giants fan of having a Joe Namath pillowcase. Wheres your opponent from? Give a look of concern no matter his reply, then say, I'll try to type slower for you next time. Is your opponent into politics? Label everyone a tax-and-spend corporate shill.

Cap all that with a liberal application of irrelevance. For instance, dont just conclude by saying your opponent is a twerp who drafts like my grandmother. Say that your opponent is a sweater-wearing, eyebrow-plucking twerp who drafts his team about as well as Zsa Zsa Gabor gave acceptance speeches at the Oscars. By the time your foe makes sense of that, his starting running back will have had puppies.

But what about you? Hmm? Recall a memorable slam? Have a tried-and-true technique? Know someone who seems impervious to insult? Take a moment and tells us about it. Put together some (fit-for-publication) thoughts. You wont be too busy returning phone messages from your friends, Im sure, to reply.

In addition to the trash talking, the Sports Alarm has a huge gallery of high resolution pictures of beautiful women and models in bikinis. The most popular models are: Lindsay Lohan, Carrie Underwood, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Paris Hilton.
