Dallas is now in the second part of the season, the part of the season where they must want to roll their eyes a the media because they are ramming "december" like a tent stake into every interview they do with each player.  We and the team knew this was coming, and the reaction I have had to this is more of an in difference I just feel at peace with the position the cowboys have put themselves in.  I am happy they have an 8-3 record, I could not have predicted what their record was going to be after thanksgiving but with at least a one game lead in the NFC East division.  Dallas is in a much better position at this point in the season this year as opposed to last year; health wise and on the record.  Now comes the 1st big test to this team.

Thank you Bill

If it wasn't for your decision on 4&2 in last night's game; the result was a failed conversion and it has become sports talk radio gold.  I did not see dallas dominating the headlines on the national level, for once after a cowboys loss it was not front page news.  Even the local media is not making too much hoopla over the game, the standard ones are out there but I remember the loss to NY and Den being bigger news; I know we do not venture outside of our blog here too often but it was a nice suprise.

Well, I am on vacation right now and am now just getting to a computer to visit the BTB site and see what has been posted.  I barely caught any of the game, and little bit more of the gints game tonight.  I do have one very noticible similarity between the ny vs. dal game and the cards vs. ny game.  Both home teams lost a close game but gave up over 3 turnovers by their qbs.  Eli looked like the old sheli, when pressed and against a banged up secondary in the 2nd half he had no one to turn to and could not make it happen.  The irony is too sweet not to mention how dallas and the gints are both suseptable to imploding a home game; good coaching or soft coaching be darned.

By no means am I under the impression that dallas is out of the woods, but I believe that they can keep things in perspective as a team and just go each week one game at a time, one game with a one play at a time they will win quite a few close games and maybe even win like they did today.
