GO COWBOYS!!!
Cowboys lose to the Detroit Lions... 30-31
This game was a bit crazy. If you ever wanted to know about football, all it entails and how crazy people are for watching it and loving it... this a great game to watch!
Bottom line...
~ Detroit Defense - they did a great job stopping our offense. Passing and running. They held Tony Romo (our QB) to 206 yards, which 110 of those were on 2 TD passes. And they held Joseph Randal (our RB) to 14 carries for 26 yards. (aka... not good) Ndamukong Suh - Defensive Tackle for the Lions, is a crazy man. Literally. He had his D ready today.
~ Matthew Stafford - Detroit's QB that is from Highland Park, played for UGA. He played well... The kid threw for 488 yards and had a very sneaky TD at the end of the game to win it for the Lions. Detroit's Offense completed 29 1st downs vs. Dallas' 13 1st downs. (there are 4 downs in football... which means you have 4 chances to get the ball 10 yards, running or throwing. The field is 100 yards.) I once heard Lou Holtz say, Football is a game played 10 yards at a time... advantage Detroit.
~ Calvin Johnson - Detroit's WR that Dez Bryant (our WR) said he was better than. Well, Calvin had 14 catches, for 329 yards and 1 TD. Dez Bryant had 3 catches, for 72 yards, 2 TD's and a temper tantrum on the sideline as they were losing the game. Win goes to Calvin Johnson.
I guess I should finally give some props to Dallas...
~ Dallas Defense - game on! They forced 4 turnovers (turnover, where the ball is lost by the Offense during the play and the Defense recovers it, so now it's their ball) Sean Lee (our linebacker) was lights out! Dude had 2 interceptions and has played with a lot of heart the past few games! DeMarcus Ware is still out with his quad injury, so Jason Hatcher had to step up his game! Great job D - sorry you were left on the field for forever and wore down in the 4th QTR to let them score with two run plays. Terrible. (Normally, if our Defense caused 4 turnovers, and our Offense was able to maximize on those opportunities - hands down you should win this game!!!!)
~ Dan Bailey! Our Kicker! My friend Jackie will love that I'm writing about ole Dan! If you read the pre-view for Week 8, I told you to buy this guy's jersey... and I'm actually not joking now. He kept us in the game with two 53 yard field goals, a 44 yard field goal and three extra points. (an extra point is when you kick after you score a touchdown, the TD is worth 6 pts and the "extra point" is worth 1) He is 88% accurate on Field Goal kicks and 100% accurate on Extra Points. (He's also an Oklahoma State guy... we have a lot of those!) :) Mad props to Dan Bailey... here's where you can buy his jersey! (wait - you do know what a field goal is, right?? When the team can't score a touchdown, for various reasons, they may choose to kick a field goal and try to get 3 points out of that possession... and that's how it's done).
Standings... Don't hold your head too low tomorrow, we are only 4-4, which isn't good, but the rest of our Division still stinks too! Eagles are 3-5, Redskins are 2-5, Giants are 2-6. The Cowboy's play Minnesota next week, in Dallas. They just got beat by Green Bay, so next weeks game shall be interesting. Pre-view to come mid-week!
Random Info:
~ Both of my Fantasy Football teams finally won this week. That is all. Oh, and have a splendid week! Tomorrow is the only October 28th, 2013 you'll ever have. #justsayin'

I wouldn't say the lions defense did a great job. We scored 30 points. When you score 30, you expect to win. This loss is really on our defense. Four takeaways is great, but when you give up that many yards, that much time of possession, and that many points, you can't expect to win.
ReplyDeleteOn Dez: he got six targets, which is one more than Peyton Hillis got. That's a problem. He needs the ball more, and was completely justified in being angry. Michael Irvin did that all the time, and people loved him for it. Also, it did nothing to make us lose the game. It's a non-story.
