GO COWBOYS!!!
The Cowboys are 2-2... (Wins are always the first number - Losses are the 2nd number)
Week 5 Matchup: Denver Broncos vs. Dallas Cowboys (in Dallas - since they're team is listed 2nd... remember...) - GAME TIME 3:25 PM CST
If you read my post from Over-reaction Monday - Week 2, you would see how much I enjoy watching Peyton Manning. He is the QB for the Denver Broncos. This is only his second year playing for Denver. He spent 14 years with the Indianapolis Colts (13 playing years). Then the Colts drafted Rookie QB Andrew Luck in 2012 with their 1st pick. This was the Colts way of getting out of their allegiance with Manning, since he's aging and all. Manning sat out the entire 2011 season after having neck surgery. All this to say, he is on a quest. A quest for not only greatness, he's already achieved that, but a Championship. He has one Super Bowl title with the Colts, and seems to be determined to win one with the Broncos, which is completely in his reach.
You're probably wondering why I went on about a guy who doesn't play for the Cowboys. Well... that was to set the stage for the fact that we are up against a beast of a team! (And, when you watch the game for so long, you end up admiring the ability of individual players!)
~ Our Defense can NOT play like they did last week against San Diego. We will have to be perfect at defending the passing (throwing) game, and put as much pressure on Manning and his Offensive Line as possible. He lost his Right Tackle (big guy who stays in-front of Manning and blocks while he tries to throw the ball) to an injury two weeks ago. DeMarcus Ware should be able to maximize on any areas of weakness... we hope!
~ Our Secondary (these are the guys who cover/guard the Wide Receivers on the Offense) - they have not been so good. Morris Claiborne (dude we traded up in the draft for last year) hasn't performed up to par this season! This game would be the perfect time for Claiborne to be the "super-star" we hoped he would be, and the amazing Cornerback he was at LSU!
~ Our Offense... Tony Romo (QB)... remember that guy... well he needs to have a lot of protection from our Offensive Line this week. The Denver Defense is rated 30th (out of 32 teams) against the pass. (this means they're terrible when the offensive team throws the ball) If our line can block for Romo, he should have ample time to throw the ball. The only thing hurting us in this scenario is our WR options. Miles Austin is hurt, which leaves Romo with two "go-to" guys... Dez Bryant (WR) and Jason Witten (TE). Denver's D is ranked 1st in the league against the run (they're amazing at shutting down Running Backs). DeMarco Murray (RB) will not have a record setting game.
Either way - this game should be great! So rep your Dallas Cowboys Gear and support your team!
**With the Rangers out of the race for the Playoffs, you have a little more free time to enjoy football!! The weather will be perfect this Sunday for the roof to be open! If you're going to the game, I am jealous. That's all.**
Random Info:
~ Howdy! Folks! The State Fair of Texas is in town! Get your tickets, buy your fried food and enjoy the car show, a concert or the petting zoo! Fall is about to be in full swing here, so start enjoying it! Get outside, shop Downtown McKinney, go to a pumpkin patch with the kids or play a round of golf!
