Last night’s game was quite entertaining, especially since I am a Cowboy fan.

TO played great, as did Romo.

Ware coming off the corner is just deadly.  His first step is soooo fast I don’t know how he is EVER blocked.

This gives the Cowboys the clear lead in the conference for home field advantage.  Let’s just hope they don’t have a December breakdown like last year. 

It should be a good end of the season.

The HUGE NFC matchup between the Packers and the Cowboys is just hours away.

I have to say that I am looking forward to this game more than any other professional matchup this year.  This includes Indy/New England and New England/Dallas. 

I think these teams matchup well to each other which should lead to a very competitive game.

How will the Pack stop Romo and TO?  The same question can be asked about the defensive scheme Dallas will use to stop Favre and his many weopons.  Driver has been fantastic for them.

How important will the intangibles be?  Kicking game. Turnovers.  Coaching strategy.

Needless to say, it should be great drama.

My only regret is that it is not being covered by the major networks (Fox, NBC, or CBS).  I found the broadcast team for the NFL Network last year rather poor.  I would have much rather seen this game covered by Madden and Michaels.  Or Aikman and Buck.  Or even Simms from CBS.

Lets hope my hometown Cowboys can pull this one off and take complete control of the NFC race for homefield advantage.

Go Cowboys!

The game of the year might just be one day away for the NFL.

 The Packers of Green Bay against the Cowboys of Dallas.  Two storied programs whose histories are as rich as the hatred between the two squads.  The last time they played in Dallas with it meaning as much was in 1995 in the NFC Championship game.  The Cowboys were triumphant on that cold January day.  I was at that game.  I remember not knowing what to think of Brett Favre.  Back then he was very short in the tooth of his career and VERY unseasoned.  I had no idea he would be a shoe-in for the Hall of Fame over ten years later.  He has had a great career, but I think he loses again on Thursday in Dallas.

Dallas has a NASTY defense when it comes to play.  Their pass rush is much improved, which will be key in stopping the pass happy attack led by Favre.  Their backers flow to the ball well and have improved in their tackling.  The secondary has been playing very well led by Terrance Newman.  Even Roy Williams has not had any major breakdowns that have killed them.

 On the offensive side of the ball, the Boys are one of the leagues best.  TO has been simply great.  So has Romo.  Marion Barber is a star in the making and might be one of the best in the league at his position.  The O-Line has been solid all year and continues to overcome slight injuries.

It should be a great game.  It should be great drama with home field advantage in the playoffs at stake.  I hope you have the NFL Network of live in Green Bay or Dallas so you can see it.
