Round 2: DING!

Our 1st Cowboys Football action to start off 2012 (the last year we will have football if you believe the Mayans) will be for all the cool marbles that signify the winner of the NFC East. So many questions will either be created, answered, or dismissed based on this one game.

Much can be said about this season, but your Cowboys have fought the good fight. They didn’t always win, and there were different culprits in every game as to why, but now is not the time for pointing fingers.  Your Cowboys are 1 win-or-go-home game away from ascending to NFC East Greatness from the depths of being last by virtue of the great words of Ricky Bobby, “If you’re not first, you’re last.”

9 -7 isn’t a great record. But it’s better than Seattle’s 7-9 record last year and don’t forget who they beat at home (see Marshawn Lynch’s beastmode emergence).  It’s better than the Cowboy’s 6-10 record last year (see Wade Phillip’s head in a guillotine), and it’s good enough to make the playoffs.

More after the break…

However, the first-round pick’s agent Eugene Parker is hopeful that the deal will be done very soon.

“We are going to work to get it done as soon as possible,” Parker told Clarence E. Hill, Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.  “They want it done.  We want it done.”

As soon as Bryant is under contract, the only remaining draft picks that will need to sign are linebacker Sean Lee, cornerback Jamar Wall and defensive end Josh Price-Brent, who was selected in the supplemental draft.
