Dallas Cowboys Week 15 ~ Mavs vs Golden State ~ College Football Playoffs

GO COWBOYS!!! 9-4

WEEK 15 - Dallas Cowboys vs Philadelphia Eagles
(remember, the second team is at HOME)
Game Time: Sunday, December 14th @ 7:30 PM (CST) 

Good News: We are FIRST in the NFC East!! (well tied with the Eagles, but I'm not counting that)

 Bad News: We play the Philadelphia Eagles this week. If you've ever read this blog before, you know my sentiments for the Eagles. Not good. 

 They got the best of us on Thanksgiving Day. I will not repeat the score, but we all know how horrible it felt and how much it almost ruined our beautifully crafted meals that day. 

 Positive note: the Seattle Seahawks beat the Eagles last week. The Cowboys beat the Seahawks on the road (in Seattle). So, we're going on the road this week, to Philly, which means, we can beat Philly! :) 

 The Dallas Cowboys are 6-0 on the road this season. Not saying anything against Jerry World, but home field advantage isn't our thing this year! (Maybe because season ticket holders sold their tickets to opponents the first few games of the season?!?! Just sayin')

 The Eagles Defense did a great job destroying our O-Line and our run game on Thanksgiving. So, let's all hope that Doug Free, Zach Martin and the boys have stepped up their game! 

 Tony Romo (our QB) ~ We heard this past week that Romo has not only been playing with two fractures in his back, but also a cracked rib. 30 points for toughness to Romo. I do want him to be able to pick up his kids in 10 years, so let's hope he stays as healthy as possible and that the coverage tomorrow is flawless!! 

 Dez Byrant (our WR) ~ It worked against the Bears to get him involved in the game early. Let's buy Romo some time and get the ball out quickly! We have Williams and Beasley slated to go! Don't forget Witten and, of course, DeMarco Murray! 

 DeMarco Murray (our RB) ~ We need holes!!! This guy has got to run for more than the 73 yards he ran against the Eagles in November! He can do it, we just have to give him the space and good blocking. Look for Witten to be a stud in this game for Murray! 

Bottom Line: If our D can hold Mark Sanchez and his offense, this will give our O-Line time to rest and stay focused for 4 Qtrs! (Does it bother anyone else that Mark Sanchez and the Eagles are even a threat?? Ugh!) Ha!

GO MAVS!!! 17-7 

So, our Mavs team looks pretty sharp with Monta Ellis hitting jump shots to win games. BUT, the Golden State Warriors... are 19-2! You read that correctly, 19-2... almost perfect this season. They're only 21 games in, but it's still impressive and will be hard to beat when the Mavs match up against them today (Saturday, Dec 13) at 1:00 PM (CST). 

 Golden State has one of my favorite players on their team... Stephen Curry. He played college ball at Davidson and helped them make it to the Elite Eight in 2008. (Elite Eight is part of the NCAA Tournament, best known as, March Madness.) 

 Look for a shootout game between Curry and Ellis. It will be a fun one for sure!! 

 Oh and side note, when Dirk plays ball and is healthy, the Mavs always win. He's healthy today! :)

Random Info:
Say it ain't so,
I will not go,
Turn the lights off,
Carry me home

 Ha! Yes, that is an old Blink 182 song, but it's how I feel about College Football and Football in general ending. 

 Today is the Army vs Navy game! Which is a GREAT game!! 2:00 PM CST

 This is also the first year for the College Football Playoffs. It looks like they have something against the Big 12, or they at least want you to play all of your Non-Conference games against really good teams in other conferences. So, note to self Big 12!! To get in next year, make a harder schedule. 

 My pick out of the playoff teams is, Ohio State. What Urban Meyer has done with this team that has had to rotate in 3 different QB's this season is unheard of! That is a well coached team and an offense that is very resilient! Great job Coach! Anyone who beats Bama gets points in my book!

 Here is the schedule of Bowl Games. May your season be Merry and Bright :)

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!

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 ...
