Week 12: Carolina Panthers vs. Dallas Cowboys ~ Dallas Mavericks ~ Thanksgiving

GO COWBOYS!!! 3-7 (wins - losses)

Thanksgiving Day, November 26th
Carolina Panthers vs. Dallas Cowboys (home team is second)
3:30 PM CST on CBS

Y'all... everyone just plays harder when Romo is on the field... 

We finally won a game last week against the 4-6 Miami Dolphins! Rolando McClain even got a pick 6!! A PICK 6! The first of his career!! (A Pick 6 is when a defender intercepts or recovers a fumble and scores 6 points for the Touchdown on the same play... pick up the ball and score 6... Pick 6). 

 ***If you don't remember seeing much of McClain this year, it is because he was suspended for 4 games at the beginning of the season for substance abuse. We are glad you're healthy and back in action McClain!***

 This week is a short week. We played on Sunday, on the road, in Miami, and now come home and prepare for the Panthers in just 3 days! Normally, they play on Sunday, have Monday off and get back to work on Tuesday or full practices on Wednesday. Not this week, it's crunch time! (after this game we get 10 days before we play the Redskins... woohoo) 

 The Panthers... they're 10-0 (wins - losses), yes, that is undefeated 

 We have their old teammate, Greg Hardy. He's been in the headlines lately. I'm staying away from this topic, but his old teammates seem to miss him. 

 The Panthers QB is Cam Newton. Dude is big. He's mobile and isn't afraid to take a hit. He hasn't lead his team to a championship yet... but he has the ability to!! 

 RB, Jonathan Stewart and WR, Funchess are going to be the focus for our Dallas Defense! Newton likes to throw the deep ball to Funchess... and Steward has gotten stronger over the past few weeks! 

Bottom Line... Dallas is 1-4 at Home. We are in a must win situation for the rest of the season. Romo hit Williams and Witten consistently last week! If Dez can get going this week, we're in a good place Offensively! Oh and if McFadden can play like he did last week, with over 120 rushing yards... game on!! Now, our D has the big challenge... the Panthers average over 360 yards a game... and are 10-0 for a reason! Makes me nervous, but with Romo behind center... I think we can get it done! 26-23

Injuries... Morris Claiborne. I'm glad this list is getting shorter. 

Fantasy Football... Throw Terrance Williams in the mix this week! And Jonathan Stewart if you have him! Just sayin' :)

GO MAVS!!! 9-6

So, our 6 game win streak ended with a loss to OKC Sunday night and another loss to Memphis tonight. 

 We barely lost both games, and to be honest, our offense was just off both games. Turnovers, lower shooting percentage from everyone, and missing 3 pointers! Can't win like that! 

 We're still waiting for Chandler Parsons to be fully available. Dirk has been Dirk and of course we're all enjoying Williams and Pachulia! 

 Keep watching and go to a game!! It's a fun thing to do over the holidays, while everyone is in town!! 

Check out the full schedule.

Random Info:
Thursday is Thanksgiving. 
Yes, I'm sure watching football will be in the forecast, as it should be. A little rain too, for most parts of the South. 

But please make time to spend with friends and family! Or, caring for those around you. 

We are not guaranteed tomorrow, and truly must make the most of every opportunity to hug those around us and tell them we love them! 

I hope you have a wonderful time cooking, laughing and finding joy in all of the small tasks that come with this week! I know it's a lot of work, but... it's worth it!! HAVE FUN!! 

Play dominoes or board games... or spades!! Yahtzee!!! ha! Get crazy and get outside!!

Oh and please shop online for Black Friday... it's not worth getting trampled in stores to buy stuff you probably don't need in the first place.

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 ...
