GO COWBOYS!!!
Week 8 Matchup: Dallas Cowboys vs. Detroit Lions (in Detroit - since they're the 2nd team listed) - GAME TIME - Sunday, NOON CST
The Detroit Lions. The only way some of you may know this team is if you ever watched the 90's TV show Home Improvement. Tim Allen played the main character and was a huge Lions fan. "Hidey ho, neighbor"
What you need to know about the Lions...
~ Their in the NFC North. (We're in the NFC East).
~ They typically play on Thanksgiving Day (so do the Cowboys).
~ Their QB is Matthew Stafford. Dude played college ball at Georgia, and came into the NFL as a 1st round draft pick in 2009. (we talked about the NFL Draft a few weeks ago)
~ They also have one of the greatest Wide Receivers ever... Calvin Johnson! He was the only receiving option for the past few years for the Lions. I won my Fantasy Football league the year he came into the league... because of him, Adrian Peterson and Sidney Rice... sigh... glory days. Anyway - here's a snipit of our main WR, Dez Bryant vs. Calvin Johnson... both are BIG dudes and I would be scared to cover either of them. ("cover" - to guard them - what the secondary does... remember Defense, secondary, dudes who "cover" the Wide Receivers).
What does Dallas need to do to win this game?
~ Tony Romo (QB) - he needs to play smart! Romo's entire job is to score touchdowns. He has been doing a great job connecting with his WR's (wide receivers) and TE's (tight ends). Detroit's Defense isn't that good. If Romo keeps his head in the game and the receiving corps is in sync with him... we should win this!
~ Dez Bryant (WR) - dude already said he could match Calvin Johnson's ability and play. So, let's see it Dez! He better have a monster game! Calvin is a fairly quite guy with the media, so it will be interesting to see how this motivates both of these guys.
~ Brandon Carr (Cornerback - secondary) - if you haven't noticed I've been talking a lot about this guy named Calvin Johnson. He's a WR for Detroit. Ha! So yea, basically, Carr will have one job all game... STOP CAVLIN JOHNSON. That's it. Sounds easy enough! Or terrifying, and we all better pray the dude can hang with him all 4 quarters. (you know there are 4 quarters in a Football game, right. They play 2 QTRS - halftime - 2 more QTRS... good times).
~ Dallas Defense - our entire Dallas D needs to put a lot of pressure on Stafford and stop him from even throwing the ball!! Game on!
Standings... We are #1 in our division! 4-3! (Wins - Losses) We have a chance to gain some ground on the Eagles and Redskins. The Giants have only won 1 game so far... sounds like my Fantasy teams. (insert sad face)
Random Info:
~ Is Christmas around the corner? I believe so... pretty sure there's a cool person in your family who needs a jersey! Maybe a Dan Bailey jersey? He's our kicker... it's an inside joke, but for real... there are some cool jersey's out there. I can wear a size Youth L - it works perfectly and saves some dollar bills! shop here
~ Game 1 of the World Series looks like it's going to the Red Sox! #GoSox #AmericanLeague
