Dallas season at a crossroads

For 4-4 teams, season at a crossroads

TIDBIT: 4. Dallas Cowboys: The glass is half empty one minute and half full the next. And Terrell Owens continues to break the glass. This team is an enigma. Who can make heads or tails of what is going to happen next in Jerry Jones' Playhouse? One minute Bill Parcells is sullen and miserable and in the next minute he's hugging and kissing everyone. If that isn't an example of how up-and-down this season has been for the Cowboys, I don't know what is. Between the quarterback controversy, the Owens saga and Jones, this team is as perplexing as any. This week they face the stumbling and quitting Arizona Cardinals. They have a great opportunity to recapture the mojo that quarterback Tony Romo brought them in a huge victory on the road against the Panthers. If they don't win this week, I can't even imagine what Parcells will look like in his postgame press conference. I still think they are a playoff team.
