COWBOYS 5-5 (wins-losses)
Thursday, November 23rd - Thanksgiving
Los Angeles Chargers vs. Dallas Cowboys (home team is second)
3:30 PM CST on CBS
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
We're batting .500 with two back to back losses. We lost to Atlanta 27-7, and we lost to Philadelphia 37-9.
Those are hard losses. We didn’t even score a touchdown in last weeks loss to the Eagles.
How did we only score 7 and 9 points?
7 = one TD (touchdown) and one EP (extra point)
9 = three FG (field goals)
Breakdown of Football Math…
1 point = Extra Point (kick after a touchdown)
7 = one TD (touchdown) and one EP (extra point)
9 = three FG (field goals)
Breakdown of Football Math…
1 point = Extra Point (kick after a touchdown)
1 or 2 points = Safety (1. When the ball carrier is forced into his own end zone 2. The ball becomes dead in the end zone, but because of a forward pass, the defending team can score 3. The offense commits a foul in its own end zone).
3 points = Field Goal (When a team does not score a touchdown, and the elect to go for a Field Goal - the kicker kicks the ball between the yellow posts)
6 points = Touchdown (Anyone on offense or defense that crosses the white line in their end zone on a live play)
Now that you have the math… you can play the guessing game on your Thanksgiving road trip.
“How many different ways can you get to 17 points in a football game?”
Back to the game this Sunday…
We play the Chargers. They used to be in San Diego, but now they're in LA, along with a million other sports teams.
Phillip Rivers is their QB. He has one more TD than Dak this season,17, and the exact same amount of interceptions thrown, 7.
Keenan Allen is Rivers most targeted WR (wide receiver). He averages 13.5 yard per carry. Our busted up Defense will do their best to guard Allen and their RB (running back), Melvin Gordon.
As for our Cowboys Offense. Y'all. Can we get a little more creative??
We couldn't get anything going last week!
I heard Todd Archer from ESPN say on the radio today that we used to throw to Bailey and Witten first, then Dez. We've been trying to throw to Dez and then to Witten and Beasley. I can see his point. I feel like even when Romo was here, any time you force the ball to Dez, it didn't work. It needs to be a surprise to the Defense!!
I hope to see different plays called this week!
The Chargers Defense is ranked 22 out of 32 teams. But that doesn't always tell the full story. The Patriots Defense is ranked 32 out of 32 teams and they have an 8-2 record. I guess when you have Tom Brady, Defense is just a side dish!
I believe the Cowboys can get the W over the Chargers, even without Elliott, Smith (Offensive Tackle that helps protect Dak from getting sacked so much, which causes him to throw more interceptions), and four Defensive players.
It probably won't be pretty, but we're not going for style points.

The Mavs won!! Finally! We have four wins on the season!
Harrison Barnes hit a 30-foot shot to get the W vs. the Memphis Grizzlies.
Of course it was Barnes! He is still our point leader.
We have good players on our team! Dirk almost self-willed a win vs. the Celtics on Monday night. He had 12 points and Barnes had 31 points!! That would have been a great game to be at!

What does it mean to be thankful?
One of my favorite verses is this...
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
"Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."
It's not always easy to be joyful, or pray, or give thanks. But how much better would life be if we actively tried to consider that all circumstances are something to be thankful for!
The Holiday's can be lonely, sad, emotional, hurtful, joyful, happy, and everything in between.
My hope for you is that you are able to find joy!! Just by being around people you love!
It doesn't matter if the food is 100% perfect! It's food! Plates are plates. Silverware is silverware.
But, people are what matter the most! Hug someone!! You may not think you need it, but a hug is the best medicine for the soul!!
