Week 13: Dallas Cowboys vs. Washington Redskins ~ Dallas Mavericks ~ Hutchins BBQ

GO COWBOYS!!! 3-8 (wins - losses)

Monday Night Football, December 7th
Dallas Cowboys vs. Washington Redskins (home team is second)
7:30 PM CST on ESPN

Monday Night Football... The Dallas Cowboys vs. The Washington Redskins... Not the powerhouse game the NFL was expecting when they made the schedule for 2015! 

So, my Uncle and cousin are BIG Redskins fans!!! Like, they have Hog outfits and RGIII Jersey's... that they tried to give me at Thanksgiving, because they think Jerry will pick him up with Romo out. They replaced that jersey with a Kirk Cousins one. I told them I'd use it for kindling in my fireplace... (no opponent gear allowed in my house). 

The NFC East... what went wrong??

The Eagles beat the Patriots today... which means, if the Cowboys beat the Redskins tomorrow night, we would be one game out of First Place in our Division. hahaha... 

I am still holding out for Draft Picks... which means we have to lose to get a closer to the front of the line in draft order... (the good players usually go in the 1st or 5th round).

REDSKINS... 

Kirk Cousins is their QB vs. Matt Cassel, our back-up QB. Since Romo fractured his collarbone again, we are back to second string!

The Dallas D will be facing Cousins, who has thrown for over 2700 yards and 16 TD this season. However, a Cowboys fan favorite stat is the 10 interceptions he's thrown. Most were at the beginning of the season; however, I believe our secondary can pressure their passing game and we'll see at least one pick 6 from McClain, Jones or Wilcox! 

One snafu in the Cowboys plan this week may be Dashon Goldson... 

A leader, and a Safety, called a players only meeting last week before their win against the Giants. The Redskins have something to play for... they can easily stay in 1st place in our Division if the defeat our team. And with Cousins playing the way he is and Jordan Reed trying to be Tight End of the year... they are trying to make their way into the playoffs! 

Bottom Line... With Romo hurt, again... I feel like all hope is lost. Not forever, but for this season... yeah. We do; however, have a resurged running back in Darren McFadden! Dude has stepped it up the past 3 weeks! And I hope Cassel can connect with Terrance Williams when Dez is being double-teamed! (I feel like Williams is to Dez like Alvin Harper was to Michael Irvin)! Monday night will be interesting. Rival game... big stage... let's hope that the Cowboys can pull off a W! :) 

Injuries... Romo, Claiborne, Heath???, Dez didn't practice, but he's playing!  

Fantasy Football... I quit. Unless you were brilliant and picked up Brock Osweiler... you're probably not winning your league. (p.s. love the dude's name) Especially with Brady losing two weeks in a row... tears for my work league.

GO MAVS!!! 12-9

The Mavs have a one game win streak going!!! Woohoo!! It was a big win over the Washington Wizards... 116-104. John Wall was injured at the end of the game... but it was Wesley Matthews getting his name in the papers with 36 points! 

It's nice to see new guys making a name for themselves! Especially with Chandler Parsons still as a slot-in 6th man.

Christmas time is the perfect time to take the family to a Mavs Game!!! Here are the next few games... if I could recommend one... it would be December 30th vs. Golden State! You'd get to see Stephen Curry!!! They are still undefeated at 22-0... maybe the Mavs will be the ones to take them down??

Random Info:
So, a friend told me about this BBQ place in the Dallas Area... pretty sure it's life changing. I'm not kidding.

Hutchins BBQ in McKinney or Frisco is worth every penny you will spend there!

I recommend the lean brisket, fried okra, mac n' cheese, and sweet tea. The cobbler and banana pudding is complimentary, oh and there's ice cream too!

At the Frisco location, they also had a brisket stuffed jalapeno. What??? Dude, it was good!!  

Happy eating!

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 ...
