Dallas Cowboys Preview Week 9

GO COWBOYS!!!


Week 9 Matchup: Minnesota Vikings vs. Dallas Cowboys (in Dallas - since they're the 2nd team listed) - GAME TIME - Sunday, NOON CST

Well folks... the Dallas Cowboys had a dismal loss last week. I still feel like I have a Matthew Stafford hangover with his 1 yard TD to win the game. But, you can only stay down so long. We are playing the Vikings this week... move along! :)

~ The Vikings have a QB battle going on. It is between Christian Ponder and Josh Freeman. Just throw those names around. Ponder went to Florida State and married an ESPN anchor (my dream job). And Freeman went to Kansas State, playing 5 years in the league. I don't care which QB plays, as long as we win! 

~ The Vikings Defense is terrible. As bad as numbers have been against our Dallas Defense at times... theirs is much worse. All that to say... I really think Tony Romo and our Offense can beat them. Except for Jared Allen... he's a guy on their D who is fast and can sack the QB with a quickness.. lets hope he's distracted the whole game! 

~ Tony Romo (our QB) - he has completed less than 50% of his passes this season. He usually puts up big #'s since he has a great arm and is very talented; however, our Offense isn't in a groove yet this year. It hasn't helped that Murray is still injured (our starting Running Back - RB). But for the passing game - Romo has done a good job finding Williams, Witten and Dez when he's not crying on the sideline. 

~ Our Defense. A lot - I mean a LOT of our Defensive players are injured right now. Too many to list without boring you, but know that we're still missing DeMarcus Ware - our leader on D! We are now missing Church and Claiborne, our secondary guys who got burned by Calvin Johnson last week. So the toughest test for our D is... Adrian Peterson. 

~ Adrian Peterson (Vikings RB) - this dude was born to play football. He played at Oklahoma University and has been in the league, playing for Minnesota, for 7 years. He had knee surgery in 2011. In 2012 he rushed (ran) for 2,097 yards and had 12 touchdowns. It was his best year ever! Which is insane after knee surgery and for a guy who is getting older. 

Bottom line... Our Defense has to stop Adrian Peterson! End of story... 

Watch the game - open the windows - it should be a beautiful day!!! :) 

Standings... We are still leading our division at 4-4. It's not pretty! Odds are, Philly will lose to Oakland. Washington will lose to San Diego - Rivers is playing too well. The Giants have a Bye this week, so they'll keep riding their 2 game win streak and try to gain some ground! ("Bye" - when a team has a week off, they rest!!

GO MAVS!!!

The Mavs won their first game of the season!! They beat the Atlanta Hawks 118-109. 

~ Dirk Nowitzki scored 24 points!! But the highest scoring player was Monta Ellis with 32 points! He is a Shooting Guard (code for Big Guy)... and this is his first year with the Mavs, 9th year in the NBA! Go Team! 

They play the Houston Rockets - Friday at 7 PM! 

Random Info:
~ THE RED SOX WIN THE WORLD SERIES!!! This is craziness! Fenway Park, where they play, is the coolest baseball park ever!! In my opinion! The last World Series won inside Fenway was in 1918! 95 years ago! And they won tonight! Awesome! One of the Texas Rangers catchers was traded to the Red Sox this past year. Mike Napoli - Congratulations Mike! We are happy for you! #BostonStrong

If you want to see a Red Sox in, hollywood style, watch the movie Fever Pitch.

Week 12: Washington Redskins vs. Dallas Cowboys ~ Staubach's Final Game vs. Redskins ~ Be Thankful

GO COWBOYS!!! 9-1 1st in the NFL  (I've died and gone to Heaven) 1st in the NFC EAST Thursday, November 24th Washington Redskins vs. Dallas Cowboys  (home team is second) 3:30 PM CST on FOX Full of hope, I predicted last week that the Cowboys would beat the Ravens by 11 points. We won by 10.  Y'all, this is better than I could have ever hoped for... in my football fan life. We went up against the #1 Defense in the league, threw up 97 rushing yards from Zeke and 301 passing yards by Dak. What? Who are we? So much fun!  THANKSGIVING DAY RIVALRY...  Before you get all tired off Tryptophan ... make sure to  check out this link and read about the NFL history on Thanksgiving Day . The two most consistent teams to play are the Dallas Cowboys and the Detroit Lions.  The Washington Redskins... our NFC East Division Rival. We have played the Redskins twice a year since 1961.  That is a long time!  T...

Over-reaction Monday Week 14 ~ MAVS ~ Rangers

GO COWBOYS!!! Week 14 Matchup: Dallas Cowboys vs. Chicago Bears... Who Won? Da Bears! BIG! 28-45 No one was hibernating tonight at Soldier Field. The Bears came to play in some frigid temperatures! 7 degrees... feels like -4... dagger!  ~ McCown (Chicago's back-up QB) - after tonight - I'm more afraid of him then most active QB's in the league. He has lethal weapons in Brandon Marshall (WR), Alshon Jeffery (WR) and Matt Forte (RB). They scored on EVERY possession! (except an onside kick) 5 TD's!! They played so well - they were cocky enough to go for two points instead of going for the extra point after their TD at 33 pts. That is bold. In your face to the Cowboys Defense. Wow. This one hurts.  ~ Dallas. Our Offense had a run game going in the beginning. Chicago is horrible against the run, but we didn't even maximize on it! DeMarco Murray (our RB) had 145 yards and no TD's . Romo threw for 3 TD's to 3 different receivers! That's a cool stat... if...
