Week 10 Dallas Cowboy thread

[Ishoutandscream]

It was ugly on Sunday, and Buffalo exposed the Cowboy offense as the inept bunch that it is. But thank goodness for the Cowboy defense, which held on to win 10 to 6. As many in the metroplex have stated, the Cowboys would have found a way to lose a game like this under Campo. But this is Parcells team now, and a more disciplined approach helped win the game ( no turnovers this week - big!).

Reality will hit Sunday night. Belechick has had two weeks to prepare for this one (on a side note, this is the fourth Cowboy opponent they have faced after a bye week. Is that ultimate Cowboy hater, Paul Tagliabue, instrumenting this? Put your tin foil hat on). New England is running on all cylinders, and their defense will eat up a very vanilla Cowboy offense. Plus the fact Belechick had two weeks to prepare and the game is away - well, it could be a long night. To quote Parcells, "We won't be able to win every week 10 to 6."

Philly is still the team to beat in the east, and I'm still predicting that they win the division. Their win on Monday night I believe has solidified them as the best in the east. I've been saying Dallas will win 9 and get a wild-card, but 10 is a very distinct possibility. With New York and Washington still on the schedule, and a possible win in any of their other home games (Miami on Thanksgiving comes to mind), 10 wins is looking good. But I'll be a pessimist (or a realist, however you want to look at it) and still predict a wildcard with 9 wins.

1. It's a down year for the whole league

No premier teams, just mediocrity, especially with quarterbacks. Outside of Favre (and he's not really himself), is there a single Hall of Fame quarterback in the league right now?

Well, maybe Manning (although I'm not a big fan).

2. Absolutely. Darren Woodson stated

how many current Cowboy defensive starters could have started on the superbowl teams of 92, 93, and 95. Possibly Glover, Woodson, Roy Williams, and Terence Newman. And Newman is a rookie, so that would be a big "if."

This ain't your dad's NFL any longer. Welcome to parity and free agency.

3. I wonder if Kurt Warner will become a cowboy...

makes you wonder...

4. Yeah, there's speculation that if Quincy can't get the job done

then a Warner or a Brunnell may come to Dallas next year. Time will tell.

5. Actually, I feel pretty good about the defense...

Though I've only been able to see highlights of the last couple of games (either flying our out of country - Mexico's NFL coverage sucks).

The offense, however, is not great. No depth, and no consistency.
