Dallas Cowboys in London ~ Mavs ~ Friends

GO COWBOYS!!! 6-3

WEEK 10 - Dallas Cowboys vs Jacksonville Jaguars
(remember, the second team is at HOME)
Game Time: Sunday, November 9 12:00 PM (CST)  

London... England... yup, we're there.

The NFL has been trying to get more publicity in England since 2007. There are four regular season NFL games this year in London's Wembley Stadium, which is the largest in the UK. This stadium was designed for football, or shall I say, fútbol. We all know soccer is "football" in an International context... it's only us Americans who are obsessed with pigskin. 

Do you know what pork rinds are? I learned what they are on a recent girls trip to South Carolina... interesting.

So, the game, eh? (kidding that's Canadian

Tony to the Romo... well, this dude. He made the trip to London. Good times. I hope he flew first class where you get to lay down and sleep. I've never done that, but I've seen it in movies. I saw a live interview with him this morning from London, and he looked a little rusty. Like the Tin Man, in Wizard of Oz, before they find the oil can. Okay, he didn't look that bad, but I secretly hope he doesn't play. 

You see, the Cowboys have a BYE week next week. Which means, they get a week off! Their next game after this London exhibition will be on Sunday, Nov 23 vs the New York Giants. So, Romo could have this week, and the next two weeks to heal up and get back for the 23rd game, the Playoffs and the Super Bowl victory in Arizona. 

***Herm Edwards said on SC today that the Dallas Cowboys are 17-1 when DeMarco Murray runs 20 or more times in a game. Feed the Horse!*** 

Jacksonville has a 1-8 record in the AFC. (We're in the NFC - National League - the AFC is the American League) However, they are tied for 3rd in the NFL for sacks on a QB, with 27 sacks. Now, their overall defense isn't so hot. They're ranked like 30 out of 32 teams, which means... RUN THE BALL! Their QB is a rookie, drafted this past year, so they still have a lot of learning to do. Next year kid, next year!

Bottom Line: If the O-Line can protect the run game, with Weeden or Romo, we should and will dominate this game. DeMarco Murray and the O-Line can save the day! Jacksonville played in London last year, but that is the only advantage they have over us. As for our Defense, just keep your head in the game. No stupid penalties, and protect Dan Bailey on Special Teams. Veterans... Jason Witten... dude will still be the go to if Weeden is in. Dez Bryant needs a catch in the first quarter... simply so we don't have to hear them talk about how he hasn't had a catch in the first quarter, or the second, or the third. 

We believe that we will win! :)

GO MAVS!!! 3-1 

Yea, we beat the Boston Boys!!! Celtics went down... :) 

The game wasn't so pretty... Rondo was Rondo, but our guys need to mesh a little more. The 4th quarter was a little rocky, but they will figure it out. Give them another month and they'll be doing no look passes, one handed half court shots and a little "Dude Perfect" stuff. 

I must say, it is nice to have Tyson Chandler back. And Dirk is doing his thing, averaging 20.8 points per game (PPG).

When I think of London, I think of many things... and one of those things is the TV show Friends. 

I never knew this about why Ross says Rachel's name at his wedding to Emily... watch

Over-reaction Monday Week 8

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 ...

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 ...
