Over-reaction Monday Week 3 - Jordan Spieth

GO COWBOYS!!! 2-1 (wins - losses)

Atlanta Falcons vs. Dallas Cowboys

We lost. Badly. 

 But, we started off great! 

 1st Half (1st & 2nd Qtr Combined)

 - We scored 28 points. 
- Joseph Randle had 14 carries for 87 yards and 3 Touchdowns.
- Darren McFadden scored one TD. 
- Brandon Weeden was 13/14 for complete passes in the 1st half of the game for 164 passing yards. He only threw 1 interception, which was expected for his first game starting. 
- Our Defense was making plays, Church and Carr were all over Julio Jones (their #1 wide receiver).  Sean Lee had one sack on Matt Ryan and we were able to hold Freeman (their running back) to just 2 TD's in the first half. 

 2nd Half (3rd & 4th Qtr Combined)

- We did NOT score any points. 
- I am pretty sure our Coaching staff decided to treat this like a pre-season game. At least, that is what it felt like.

 Perplexed. Yes. 

 Why didn't Randle stay in the game? Yes, Lance Dunbar came in and had 100 yards. But, why? Randle was working. Was he tired? I get it. I'm not a player; I don't really understand.

 What happened to Witten? He made a few outstanding blocks in the first half and 6 passes for 65 yards. Where did he go in the second half? 

 Why did the game plan change? Our Defense started getting tired, because they were on the field too much with someone playing Madden 15 with Julio Jones! Ridiculous! It would be fun to see Dez go head to head with Julio! #Playoffs

 I hope our coaching staff re-groups and realizes that the second half of a regular season game isn't the time to slot in back-ups and change the entire game plan. You stick with what is working, until it doesn't work anymore, don't change just because it's half-time. 

 Being a Cowboys Fan is tiring. But, it's worth it.   

 GO COWBOYS!!!!

Jordan Spieth. 

 Need I say more. 

 Wow. 

 I wish to play golf as well as his right arm does. 

 (like a tenth of him... get it... it's funny)

 I love how he always hugs his family right after a win and says "we" for his TEAM!! So cool to make golf sound more and more like a team sport! Thank you, Jordan! 

 #underarmour Oh how they lucked out!

Dirk Nowitzki ~ Dallas Cowboys Free Agency ~ Texas Rangers ~ Selection Sunday ~ Loveland, CO

GO MAVS!!! 27-36  (wins - losses) Dirk, Dirk, he's our man... if he can't do it... no one can!!!  Well, only 5 other guys can and have.  Dirk is now 6th on the all time list of NBA players to score 30,000 points . This is a crazy accomplishment. He's played over 1,300 games in his 19 year career with the Dallas Mavericks.  His commitment to this team and to our city has been life changing for many. He does a lot in our community through the Dirk's Heroes Foundation . Fundraising and giving grants to non-profits in our community and around the world that are making an impact in the lives of children and families in need.  Back in the day, the Mavs games were fun to watch with the " Three J's " - but we didn't win a lot, and we never thought we would make it to the playoffs consistently, much less to the NBA Finals. ( Three J's: Jimmy Jackson, Jamal Mashburn, Jason Kidd - here's a funn...

Week 11: Baltimore Ravens vs. Dallas Cowboys ~ Mavs ~ Gift Guide for Black Friday

GO COWBOYS!!! 8-1 1st in the NFL (I've died and gone to Heaven) 1st in the NFC EAST Sunday, November 20th Baltimore Ravens vs. Dallas Cowboys  (home team is second) 12:00 PM CST on CBS First things first... the Cowboys are playing amazing football right now! Even sportscasters who don't like the Cowboys can't stop talking about them.  I mentioned last week that we are the most balanced team in the league. When your Offense and Defense share an even amount of time on the field, it is easier to stay fresh and productive. If you leave your D out there too long, they're bound to make mistakes. So even with our Offense being as productive as they are, they are still staying on the field long enough to keep it balanced.  The Cowboys have a total of 219 first downs this season and lead the league at Offensive time of possession, 33:39 minutes ( an NFL football game is made up of 4 quarters, 15 minutes each, a total of 60 minutes ).  ...

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!
