QUICK OUT: Here Come The Cardinals

Todd Toombs — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 18:00:03 +0000

Our beloved Dallas Cowboys are back atop the NFC East, winners of 4 straight games, and are now widely being pegged as division winners and playoff contenders. All is right in the world at last! Up next are the 4-7 Arizona Cardinals. Looks like a fifth straight win and smooth sailing on the road to the Super Bowl, right? Not so fast.

While on paper this game should be a cake walk, it has all the makings of a classic trap game. Like most Cowboy fans, I would love nothing more than a complete blowout of the hapless Cardinals, but there are things worth pausing and considering before assuming the Cowboys move to 8-4 on the season:

It’s the NFL. Players and coaches will tell you that at this level every win is hard fought despite what the final score is – especially on the road.
The Cowboys last win in Arizona was in 2006. They’ve lost the last 2 times including the 30-24 overtime loss in 2008 on a blocked punt (and broken foot for McBriar) and last year’s 27-26 loss to a then 4-10 Cardinals team. Most teams play a little harder against “America’s Team” but having once been in the same division, the Cardinals always seem to deliver an exceptional effort against the Cowboys. It may not be enough but expect another superior effort on Sunday. (more…)

The Final Word From Sunday’s Win

Let's hope this team keeps the momentum going and keeps the pressure on New York.

Dallas Cowboys-related Tweet of the Week: @DezBryant: “Since I play for the Cowboys can I also be a die hard fan or do I not count lol”

Wow. Raise your hand if you saw the Cowboys laying that big of a beatdown on the Bills on Sunday. If your arm is in the air, I have a very hard time believing you. There were even staff writers on the Landry Hat who predicted us to lose (I was not one of them). I can honestly say I was just as shocked watching the game as I was happy with the mammoth victory. Every aspect of the team was clicking on all cylinders, and by the end, the Bills looked like they didn’t know what had hit them. It was certainly one of the best games in recent memory, and it can definitely be a big momentum builder going deeper in November and the playoff push. (more…)
