Cowboys Talk

How ’bout them Cowboys? All alone in first place! What a difference a month can make.
It wasn’t long ago they were 3-3 and the season was looking bleak. Five games later, they’re 7-4, leading the NFC’s Eastern Division. Following the big win over the Colts, a lot of fans feared an emotional letdown on Thanksgiving; but, Dallas took control early, and the outcome was never in doubt.
Quarterback Tony Romo continued his outstanding play with five touchdown passes. During the Fox broadcast, Joe Buck asked Troy if it was really this easy and Troy said, “it never was for him.” I second what Troy said.
Tony’s making it look way too easy. Do you realize in the last 3 weeks, Tony is 28-30 in the second-half of games? That’s 93% passing! And the Cowboys have developed a great combination at running back with Julius Jones and Marion Barber. Julius is the speed, Marion is the power, and together they allow the Cowboys to win the time of possession battle — which is key to Bill Parcells’ style of play.
Sunday is a big game. The Cowboys will have to be careful dealing with a wounded team. Preparation and execution will be critical. The Giants are in a difficult situation and if we execute the way we can, we should win even though it will be tough playing on the Giants turf. The Cowboys need to take it one day and a time to take us to the playoffs ….
