   At a horrible 1-4 start to an NFL Football Season that was suppose to be about the Dallas Cowboys becoming the first NFL Football Team to host a Super Bowl and be part of it...
   
   ...Now is all about tonight. Win against a very good NY Giants Team in Dallas or pack it up an play for your contract at the end of the season! Hmmm, Wade...Jason...hope you are listening!!!
   
   A Win....the Cowboys are one game back and alive in the NFC East.
   A Loss....Turn Out the Lights...the Party's Over!"

   I wasn't counting the boys out at all tonight. These are the times when the team with way less wins usually wins. Happens a lot in the NFC North.

      This is the wildest year I can ever remember in the NFC.  Every team so far has a chance to win their division or the more. There is not a dominate NFC team yet.

         The Giants have been playing great and I think they could be the best team, and I think they will continue to do good. But tonight I just think they are going to lose to the Boys.

               I'd be a little nervous at this point if I was a Cowboys fan.  Eli spotted them 10 points and they still look nervous.

   Every time I ask him what he thinks about the bears during the game. He tells me they are going to lose and they look terrible. I think its so that he doesn't get so worked up when they actually do.

    Survival doesn't look so great after that hit to Romo.  So much for Roy Williams on my Fantasy team.  Maybe I'll get lucky and what's his face will throw it to him.  That is, if he can stay in the pocket long enough to get the ball out.

       I would hit the Trade Market as soon as possible for WIlliams and Dallas RB (if you have any). Hopefully get a trade before everyone hears the news.
       Austin should be ok, but...if you could get a #1 WR for Austin in a trade...I would go for it.

             Eli has already made his mark in NY as the greatest quarterback in the history of one of the NFL's oldest franchises. A QB who pulled off one of the greatest Super Bowl comebacks ever. Add to his resume that 4 times in 6 seasons this underrated QB has led his team to the playoffs. He has won 58 of his 100 starts .
             
             Question is will anything ever be enough for those that classify him as over rated to see what a truly elite QB Eli is?
             
             Best part is that it doesnt matter to Eli or the fans in NY what they say. We know what a great QB he is. And what is even better this football player, is that  he is a role model to the kids of today. Seems that this world could use a few more over rated guys just like Eli.

    I don't know. Romo is a player who could always keep you in a game and is a very good player, but perhaps the switch to Kitna could do this team some good. Maybe it forces them to run the ball a little more and make things easier on their passing game in terms of efficiency. Outside of tonight, they still have one of the top defenses in the NFL. And maybe for the reasons stated herein, this will help their offense as well. Kitna is not a bad option as a backup QB. This was a tough loss for them, but they need to get it together now. They can only afford one more loss to be sure to make the playoffs. Two more losses and it is about over. As a Vikings fan, I can relate dumbfounding and dejected feeling that Cowboys fans must have right now.

    I'm wondering why we don't hear more about backup QB Stephen McGee. He started the final preseason game against Miami's 1st stringers. He won the game, with Dallas putting up 27 points, and he threw no interceptions.
    
    He had a good record at A&M and it would've been better if he didn't injure his shoulder. He's young, athletic and could probably take the pounding better than the aging Kitna.
    
    There really isn't much to lose by starting him, and, you just might find your next star QB.

    i don't think the cowboys will make the playoffs this year.  lack of discipline and the fact that the wade phillips makes one too many excuses for his players shows he's too busy trying to be a buddy coach rather than a disciplinarian the cowboys obviously need so they won't make stupid mistakes.  Thats why I think if dallas is smart they'll get a disciplinary coach to replace phillips.  however, i know they won't since jerry jones is an idiot and doesn't like a coach's authority to rule over his own, so more than likely jason garret, a unqualified coach as his offensive schemes aren't great, will replace phillips and the cowboys will continue to have a very undisciplined team.

    Actually, I blame the coach!  What is he still doing there- except for the fact that he is Jerry Jones "Yes" man.  As far as a coach- Wade Phillips is just a waste of skin and needs to be replaced yesterday!

          It is Jerry Jones and all about Jones. See the Jimmy Johnson story.  Jones will only hire a coach that gives Jones the credit and does as he is told!  When a coach decides he is in control...he will be out the door...(Johnson, Parcels)

          It absolutely is one of Jerry's toys.  The problem is that this toy is broken- and what is he going to do about it?  Will he fix it or continue to play with it until it is absolutely worthless and destroyed. 
          
          Maybe that's the key- if he gets too tired of this broken toy and won't fix it- maybe he will sell it to someone who actually cares about the team and not their own ego!
