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!!!!

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!

POSTSEASON BASEBALL: Toronto Blue Jays vs. Texas Rangers ~ Baseball Etiquette ~ Dallas Cowboys Over-reaction Tuesday

GO RANGERS !!! ALDS PLAYOFFS - THIS THURSDAY It's official... we are playing the Toronto Blue Jays in the ALDS.  Dang it.  I can't stand the Blue Jays. They have trashy fans. No, literally, they throw trash on the field .  And Jose Bautista is a punk. No one needs your bat flippin' drama!  And we all remember this... Odor punching Bautista earlier this year. Watch . 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! Except that Toronto's TV ratings don't count, eh?  How we win... stay focused. Eliminate the drama. We beat them during the regular season. We can do it again. No hitting batters, no one getting ejected. We need our entire roster in the ALCS. We need to play Texas Ranger baseball. Period. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Games 1 and 2 are this Thursday at 3:30 PM and Friday at Noon in Arlington, TX. Games 3 and 4 are Sunday and Monday in Toronto. ...

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 ...

Week 12: Dallas Cowboys vs. New England Patriots ~ Dallas Mavs Luka ~ Thanksgiving and Black Friday Prep

GO COWBOYS!!! 6-4 (wins-losses) Dallas Cowboys vs. New England Patriots (away vs. home) Sunday, November 24th @ 3:25 PM CST This is the Super Bowl.  The team who has played in more Super Bowls than we'll ever see in a lifetime ( not really, but it feels like it ), is hosting the 6-4 Dallas Cowboys, in New England.  We'll take our small victory over another sub-par team last week vs. the Detroit Lions and their shockingly good back-up QB from the University of Florida, and raise you a legendary QB in Tom Brady.  Reality Check.  The moment I said, The Patriots, you thought... we're going to lose.  Yes. That is a highly probably scenario.  They have won six Super Bowl Championships, since 2001, and don't just talk about it every year like the Cowboys, they actually win it. Novel. Crazy. Something every team wishes they could do.  They win by beating you at your own game. The ultimate chess match. Good coaching, good QBing ( not ...
