I have not read a single post in this thread, but as a cowboy fan Ill state how I feel about the NFC east. I am pretty sure (infact i have placed money) that the cowboys will beat at least the redskins in the division so im counting them out and will not speak on them as they will be bottom of the bunch for me. That brings me to dallas philly and the g-men.
Dallas is looking at 3 and 5 philly 7 and 1 and gmen 5-2 or 5-3 not sure if they had a bye week yet. The question that eats me up is... can dallas get a wild card spot? They obviously wont take the division unless something amazing happens (it has in the past) but the rest of the NFC, is weak in terms of possible wildcard competition so as of right now there is a slim but growing (thanx mr strayhan) chance if dallas picks up. The giants just lost strayhan for the season, now if the cardinals can beat the giants at home in tempee and dallas wack philly thats a good start, and will make me a firm beliver dallas will get into a big game. The problem with dallas however is the defense..... people like to say the cowboys offense is anemic but its far from that, I belive they are 10th overall in the NFL for yards per game.... and even with no run game vinnie is still doing it (excluding the bungles) with max protection. if only the defense can step it up. Darren woodson is out for a few weeks still, our #1 corner back MR newman is playing like shit, and marcellus wiley, the man brought in for that superb pass rush to add on to last seasons #1 defense is no where to be found. I belive greg ellis has more sacks than the rest of the d combinded. Other than him the only bright side of the defense is roy williams stellar play....
What does this mean? it means our defesive coordinator god damn mike zimmer needs to get his ass to work, last season the cowboys defense was infact #1 because they were not afraid to bring the heat stacking the line and getting after the quarterback. After the cowboys 1st two losses they aborted that style of play totaly, as they were afraid to get burned by the deep ball. If they can just go back to the roots i can promise you the d will do its thing and win ball games. As for the offense it has been decent but with a spotty no run offense other than fullback now hybryd half back richie anderson and flashes from a untrusted reshard lee. In a few weeks when star running back julius jones comes back things will change. I can promise the cowboys will do better and go on a landslide winning spree (if they smack up philly and build confidence), taking at least 6 of the last 8 games, write it down i said it.......
As for the defense bringing the heat dont be supprised if they go back to that style of play, i have a friend that goes to every practice and feeds me with information.
Also keep in mind bill parcells has ALWAYS had stellar 2nd half seasons and dallas is haping up to have one. Even with the cowboys doing so wildcard spots are iffy, it all depends on what the giants do and if they faulter. Tom cauflin was debating on throwing eli manning to the wolves, and if this happens the giants season will look grim, however i doubt tommy is dumb enough to do something like this. So yeah, as a cowboy fan im backing the giants fail. I wont touch on the eagles yet as they may be one of the best in football.
However
ahem....
quote me on this....
if emmitt and the cardinals rout the giants sunday, and dallas whoops philly monday night, i personaly gurantee that dallas hits a wild card birth. Write it down man, if that happens, dallas gets a spot.
