GO COWBOYS!!! 6-2
WEEK 8 - Washington Redskins vs Dallas Cowboys
WE LOST!!!! 20-17
Y'all... I don't think any of us thought we would go undefeated the rest of the season, but I didn't think we would lose to the Washington Redskins.
We'll keep this simple...
~ Colt McCoy (Redskins QB) - University of Texas Fans are still happy this morning, even if they are Dallas Cowboys fans too. Loyalty to Alma Matter over Pro Team... just how it is.
~ Tony Romo (our QB) - is undergoing an MRI on his back this morning. He got beat down all night by the Redskins D. They rushed, rushed and rushed some more. Somehow, they managed to knock our solid Offensive Line off their feet for all four quarters!
~ Jason Garrett (our Head Coach) shouldn't have let Romo back in the game. He came back with less than a minute left, and it was not the valiant effort he hoped for from the offense. Jerry Jones shouldn't be on the sideline telling Garrett to put Romo in (the rest of the world agrees). Jerry, please stay in your box. I wasn't there, nor was I in the decision making process, but you know Jones wants Romo on the field at all times, even when it's not the best decision.
~ Brandon Weeden (our backup QB) - He did really well while Romo was in the locker room getting his back checked out. He threw a TD pass to Witten in the 4th Qtr to tie the game! Romo takes off every Wednesday from practice, which paid off, since Weeden had great chemistry and timing with the Offense. Pending the Romo MRI, we could be seeing more of this kid.
~ Dez made an amazing TD catch in the 2nd Qtr. Then, he dropped a huge pass in the 4th! Consistency Dez... come on son! Just because it's Washington doesn't mean they're going to hand you the ball! Treat every game the same.
~ Murray ran for over 100 yards, 8th consecutive game, but no one noticed. I guess we proved that only having a run game won't be our path to victory!
~ Dallas D - we have dudes tearing biceps and all kinds of stuff. It was a mess! To let Colt McCoy beat you, in your house, after not playing in an NFL game for 3 years... C'MON MAN! He completed 25/30 passes... had 299 yards and QBR of 79.8!!! Romo's QBR (Quarterback Rating) was 16.1 & Weeden was 11. Yes, it's out of 100.
This team looked like the team we've watched for the past 6 years. Unprepared and easily dominated. Like the Redskins, a division rival since 1960, wasn't going to come out trying to destroy us! No matter the opponent, be prepared! It was messy from the start.
I heard on 105.3 The Fan this morning... that coaches have told them over the years... "Play Calling is Overrated and Execution is Underrated." I'm starting to agree. Not on all accounts, but the execution last night, Offense and Defense was not what we know them to be capable of.
We play the Arizona Cardinals next week... in Arizona. They are 6-1, we need to bring our A game! More on that later this week...
Fantasy Football Update: Lost in both fantasy leagues and in real life. So sad. (you do realize I'm not going to be super depressed. Upset, annoyed, frustrated, but not depressed - it's sports and life must go on.)

GO MAVS!!!
Good News... MAVS BASKETBALL STARTS TONIGHT!!! :)
Dallas Mavericks vs San Antonio Spurs - 7 PM CST

Okay - y'all know the Spurs are good, right? If you're new to basketball... the Spurs are the military of the NBA and the NBA Champions from last year. They are supremely coached, well structured and disciplined. If you need an example of the type of team they are... watch the Gene Hackman movie, Hoosiers.
As for the Mavs... we're piecing it together!! Everyone Mark Cuban (our owner - same level as Jerry Jones of the Cowboys), acquired this off-season is on Team Dirk! We know this. The goal, win another title for the greatest 7 foot German to ever play the game!
Read this quick article about how Dirk and the Mavs prepared for the game tonight!! And make sure to tune into the game, so you can see his ridiculously impossible jump shot he does so well!!
