Congratulations to all of the 2009 Dallas Cowboys pro bowlers. I'm happy for all of the guys who made it but I'd like to save the individual celebrations for the offseason. I'm worried about the Eagles game Sunday, playoff matchups, and playoff wins right now.
I hope the players realize how important Sunday is going to be. I know the Cowboys are in the playoffs no matter what at this point but I am hoping for a win Sunday to guarantee at least one home playoff game. The way the top NFC teams are playing right now it looks like a #3 or #4 seed could end up with a home NFC championship game. I think it is vitally important that the Cowboys secure one of those two spots.
But at the same time I'm also hoping that the best cast scenario does not play out to reward the Cowboys the #2 seed. I don't want the Cowboys to have a week to lose the momentum that they have worked so hard to get this December. We all saw what the bye week did to the team in 2007 and I don't want to see that play out again.
So my dream scenario for Sunday is for the Vikings to win to prevent the Cowboys from securing the #2 seed. I'd like to see the Cardinals lose which would give the Cowboys the #3 seed assuming they beat the Eagles. That would mean that the Cowboys could possibly host the NFC championship game assuming they make it that far. There is no guarantee that they'll win any playoff games but the Cowboys have as good a chance as anyone else this year.
I want the 2 seed. I don't wanna play the Eagles back to back weeks. It's so difficult to beat a division opponent 3 times in one year, we all remember the Giants a few years ago.
ReplyDeleteThere really isn't any other way around it, we are going to have to beat the Eagles 3 times to accomplish our goals this year. The chances of getting the #2 seed our so high sense GB would have to win and they have nothing to play for... But don't worry my fellow fans! We can win 3 times over the Eagles, don't think of the Giants game in 2007, it has nothing to do with this year!
ReplyDeleteWhy can we win 3 times over the Eagles you ask? Well if we win on Sunday we get ANOTHER HOME GAME against them plus the confidnece the Boys' would have would be huge!
The Boys have to win. I like Dallas' chances at home against the Eagles more than in Philly. I can be done but it would be easier at home.
ReplyDeleteHere is a great new fan site.

I have ALWAYS enjoyed your articles, and, I am sure I will continue to do so. That being said, to not want the Cowboys to get the #2 seed is totally ridiculous. GO COWBOYS!
ReplyDeleteHow is not wanting a bye week ridiculous? I think the last five years or so have shown the bye week to be no advantage or even a disadvantage in many cases.
