GO COWBOYS!!!
The Cowboys are 2-3... (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
WE LOST... 51-48 (2nd highest scoring game in NFL history 99 pts, since 1970)
There are a million stats I could throw at you, and am tempted to because it was such a great game!
~ I warned you about Peyton Manning! He threw for 414 yards (that's a lot) and 4 TD's (touchdowns)! He had his first interception of the year! Guess who on the Dallas Defense intercepted Peyton Manning?? Remember... Morris Claiborne, the guy I told yall needed to have a "super-star" game?? He made the interception. Didn't do much else the rest of the game, but he did that one thing! And it was enough for a while!
~ Both Teams Defenses were worked over. You have two QB's who have great arms, and are able to out-smart most secondary's! (remember - the secondary is the group of guys who guard (defend) the Offensive guys (wide receivers, tight ends, etc) who run out and catch the ball thrown by the QB). Manning is praised for his ability to read the defense and do whatever possible to destroy them. Romo is able to do this, but does not always have the time, weapons or decision making ability to do it to the level of Manning.
~ Tony Romo (our QB - quarterback) - wow! I am by no means a Romo-hater! I have always acknowledged his athletic ability to play all sports; however, his apathy on the football field is sometimes questionable from a distance. Today, he showed heart! He fought with his team. He finally has an offensive line that buys him more time! (remember - these are the dudes that hold off the big defensive guys trying to "Sack - tackle" Romo) He threw for 502 yards - most in Dallas Cowboys History and more than Peyton Manning threw today! He utilized all of his Wide Receiver options, and they made great plays for him! I was proud of Tony Romo! However, he threw an interception with 2:04 minutes left in the game. In a normal game, I would be annoyed with his decision and Escobar (the guy Romo was throwing to) for not getting in front of the ball! BUT... I wasn't even that upset. They played their hearts out. Both Offenses blew up each others Defenses. It was a great game.
I am sad we didn't win, but it's hard to be too sad when they showed more heart today as a team, than I've seen in quite a few years! We are only 2-3 for the season. We are now tied with the Philadelphia Eagles in our Conference. (remember - we strongly dislike them... strongly!!!) The New York Giants are 0-5 (you read that correctly, they have not won a single game) And the Washington Redskins are 1-3. At this rate, we can win our Conference. But who wants to just do that? We want to be the best! And should be the best! We will re-group! We play The Washington Redskins next Sunday Night in Dallas!!! Pre-view to come later in the week!
GO RANGERS!!!
As sad as it is to see the MLB Playoffs continuing without the Rangers in it... they posted this nice video on their site to thank their fans for supporting them during the 2013 season! Next Year is our Year! 2014... We got this! :)
GO MAVS!!!
Oh how sporting seasons overlap... if the Rangers were still in it right now - your heads would be spinning!! Pre-Season Basketball has started! The Dallas Mavericks are your basketball team (if you didn't already know this)! They play downtown Dallas (not in Arlington like your other two "Dallas" teams) - at the American Airlines Center. The Dallas Stars also play here. (That is your hockey team) These games are fun and fairly easy to get to if you live in the downtown area. More to come on the Mavs, but here's the schedule if you want to start checking out games! And if you really like ice... here's the Dallas Stars schedule.
Random Info:
~ Do any of you watch and or play golf?? If not - you should learn! It is a game of patience! But also the ability to be outdoors for 4ish hours, enjoying beautiful scenery and the company of friends! Most of you probably only watch golf on Sunday afternoons during "nap time" after church. This is okay too! One day, just maybe, you'll actually watch Phil Mickelson, Bubba Watson, Tiger Woods or some of the other guys and get inspired!
