GO COWBOYS!!! 11-4 WEEK 17 - Dallas Cowboys vs Washington Redskins (remember, the second team is at HOME) Game Time: Sunday, December 28th @ 12:00 PM (CST)  We play the Washington Redskins this week, in D.C.  THIS IS THE LAST WEEK OF REGULAR SEASON FOOTBALL. tears.   Pros :  1. The Cowboys are 7-0 on the road, and this game is on the road. 2. So far, ownership plans to play our starters ( at least for the first half of the game ).  3. We've already made the Playoffs, and this game only helps us get a BYE in the first round ( if we win ).  Cons :  1. The Redskins rained on our parade back in October and beat us 20-17 in OT ( over-time ), so... they know how to beat us.  2. They have a QB complex with RGIII and Colt McCoy , which may prove to be a bit of a challenge for our D. They will most likely play RGIII, but McCoy is the guy who beat us earlier in the season with 299 passing yards. 3. Do we even want to win and get the BYE? ( not that a bye is even a gua

GO COWBOYS!!! 10-4 WEEK 16 - Indianapolis Colts vs Dallas Cowboys (remember, the second team is at HOME) Game Time: Sunday, December 21st @ 3:25 PM (CST)  I called it last week... we are solely FIRST in the NFC EAST!!! We beat the Eagles in Philly. Nothing makes me happier!! :)  Your Dallas Cowboys are now 7-0 on the road ( any game not played at home is "on the road" - just making sure we're on the same page here ). Our home game record is 3-4. This game is our LAST regular season home game of the season.  The Colts are also 10-4 this season. They've already clinched the the AFC South Title when they beat Houston last week. They've made the playoffs and are working their way into a bye week situation. Andrew Luck , QB from Stanford , took over in Indy for Peyton Manning three years ago. Most everyone in the NFL and outside the NFL agrees, this dude is very smart. He seems just as disciplined and strategic as Peyton was in Indy, which is very unlike

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

GO COWBOYS!!! 8-4 WEEK 14 - Dallas Cowboys vs Chicago Bears (remember, the second team is at HOME) Game Time: Thursday, December 4th @ 7:25 PM (CST)  I know what you're thinking... Peter Pan is live on TV that night . You are right!! That is what DVR is for. We do not DVR live sports, so you're going to have to venture to Neverland on Friday night. Channel your inner Peter Pan and never grow up!! Life is far too short to be a boring adult or a Pirate.  Should we recap the game last week? Where we lost to the dreaded Eagles? It was terrible. Like the way Charles Barkley says " turrible ." Our Defense stunk. Our Offense stunk. Philly was ranked 30th in the league against the run and for some reason, we didn't use Murray for more than 73 yards. On to this week. Week 14. We have two games left after this one in the Regular Season. Tears... We are playing Da Bears. Jay Cutler is their QB. If you google him, interesting photos come up. He fit in very wel
