Dallas Cowboys Week 17 Preview ~ MAVS ~ Rangers

GO COWBOYS!!!

Week 17 Matchup: Ph#lad@lphia E@gles vs Dallas Cowboys (it's in Dallas - they're the second team listedSunday, December 29 - 7:30 PM (this the last game of the Regular Season)

All I want for Christmas is Kyle Orton? No, Jon Kitna? No wait, pretty sure I didn't wish for a back-up QB! 


~ Tony Romo, our QB, is injured. He had back surgery before the season, our coaches and staff made it seem like it wasn't a big deal. I beg to differ now that we're facing an elimination game without our starting QB. Who are our two options for back-up QB's, the dudes I mentioned above. Both are veterans and can get the job done, and who knows, maybe our coaches will run the ball more since they aren't as comfortable with these buys behind center. ("Behind Center" - where the QB stands, he takes the ball from the lineman in the Center of the formation). 

~ I was telling a friend the other day that I wish we had already drafted a younger QB to learn from Romo, the whole Yoda thing. Even though he has 5 years left on his contract, it would be nice to know we were raising up young blood! Aaron Rodgers sat on the bench behind Brett Favre, on the Green Bay Packers, for 3 years before starting. Not that Favre was the best teacher, but I'm sure he learned something. But once again, this would require Jerry making a move. Not probable. 

~ If Dallas is able to pull off a W this week, it will be all heart! They will be playing for their QB who is injured. They will be playing because they despise their opponent more than I do! They will be playing because they're tired of being mediocre. And most of all, they're playing for each other! 

Look for a big game from Dez Bryant, WR, Jason Witten, TE, DeMarco Murray, RB, and your entire Defense who is still banged up!

Bottom Line... The E@g^es are on a roll. Nick Foles, their back-up QB, is legit. Dude has lead them to 6 Wins and 1 Loss in the last 7 weeks. Annoying. You know this is my least favorite team. So, as much as I would like Jerry to learn a lesson if the Cowboys were to lose and have to face yet another year without making it into the playoffs, I cannot handle a loss to this team. GO COWBOYS!!! CHEER LOUDLY!!! :)

Standings... We are 8-7. (8 Wins, 7 Losses.) The team we're playing this week has 9 Wins and 6 Losses. We beat Ph&lly earlier this year in Week 7. If they beat us, they make it into the Playoffs. If we win, we make it into the Playoffs. The Giants and Redskins are already out of it. Sadly, the E@gles have a lot of momentum. We have a little after last week, but with Romo out, it will be interesting to see how our team gets motivated to take this W from Ph!illy. 

GO MAVS!!!

Mavs record is... 16-12... we beat the Rockets!! Woohoo!! 

~ Dallas stepped it up against the Houston Rockets Monday night! They held Dwight Howard to 15 points! While Dirk had 31 points and has moved up to 13th on the All-time scoring list!! Mad props Sir! Now, if only we could play some Defense!

GO RANGERS!!!

~ We haven't made any monumental trades this past week. But I thought this article was interesting, relating the Cowboys potential loss of Romo to the equivalent for the Rangers. 

Random Info:
~ I hope each of you had a splendid Christmas with your family and friends!! Make sure to tell the people in your life you love them! And if you have already started writing down your New Years Resolutions, you should consider hugging people more. Maybe not strangers, that's just plain awkward, but the people in your life you love the most, just give them a big ole bear hug!!! :) It's liberating! And probably a resolution you could actually accomplish! ha!

POSTSEASON BASEBALL: Toronto Blue Jays vs. Texas Rangers ~ Baseball Etiquette ~ Dallas Cowboys Over-reaction Tuesday

All the sports people are going to have a field day over this. I bet they wish they had given us the evening time slots now! Except that Toronto's TV ratings don't count, eh?  How we win... stay focused. Eliminate the drama. We beat them during the regular season. We can do it again.

Week 2: New York Giants vs. Dallas Cowboys ~ UNT beat Arkansas ~ Scooter Magruder

GO Cowboys!!! 0-1 (wins ~ losses) New York Giants vs. Dallas Cowboys ( away team ~ home team ) Sunday, September 16 @ 7:20 PM CST on NBC If you watched the game last week, where we lost to the Carolina Panthers, you have most likely decided to stop watching the rest of the season. It was a rough game. And it makes a lot of people think that first string players should get more reps during pre-season games so your Week 1 game isn't a scrimmage. So, during the " scrimmage ," that was a regular season game, Dak matched Cam Newton ( Carolina's QB ) in passing yards and was pretty close in accuracy. So where did Carolina win? Aside from wearing out our Defense... Newton had 13 carries for 58 rushing yards, allowing him to score one of their two TD's ( touchdowns ). Zeke ( our RB, running back ) had 15 carries for 69 rushing yards and one TD. Carolina out played us in the run game because they're not afraid to allow their QB to run. They converted more 1st ...

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...
