    I'd be studying films of last year's SB and take note of how Denver absolutely neutralized the over-hyped Cam Neutron and made him and the hi-powered Panther O look quite pedestrian. Even Colon-Blo Kapernick looked as good as Dak until enough game film enabled D's to stop him in his tracks.

    The Cowboys are legit ....They have a simple plan run the FB and use PA...The Vikes are 1 of the only few Teams that can play them 1 on 1 outside and send extra men into the run on every play ...If you play the run straight up they will gash you ..If you blitz the run and can'y hold up Dak will beat you with his arm...The Vikes put up a great effort ,but that might be the toughest D they will see ...

    There's 3 teams that could DEFINITELY hang with Dallas...

    Seahawks... they match up well with Cowboys even though they lost to the Bucs. :eek:

    Patriots... with Gronkowski, but it looks like he will be out until the Super Bowl IF the Pats make it that far. Cowboys can beat Patriots EASILY without Gronk, IMO.

    Falcons... have enough weapons on offense and good QB to match or exceed them in points.


    Other teams who have a slim chance if they bring their A-games: Steelers, Lions, Giants

    Yes they are impressive but seems this was the same legit talk leading up to last year's SB and Denver absolutely terrorized Cam and Company. And look at them now. That said, I'd still put my money on the Cowpersons until someone can actually beat them.

    I think now they've determined that Gronk is 100% done for the year. The dude can't catch a break.

    Steelers couldn't beat Cowboys at home....it would take an A-game, all around, to beat Cowboys in Houston on a neutral field if both teams made the Super Bowl. I don't think either team is gonna make the dance.

    Steelers came really close, despite their injury-riddled defense.

    Steelers torched Dallas and I think should we meet again might be a different story

    So far, so good. There's not much for me to be negative about this morning... other than Ben's INTs. Hopefully he got that out of his system yesterday at Buffalo. The defense played great yesterday. I'm shocked they held McCoy and Taylor without Cam Heyward and Hargrave in the lineup. McCullers, Tuitt, Walton and Matthews stepped up big time.

    looks like the G-men with a 3 man rush and stellar DB play put a hurtin on that high powered cowboy offense. dallas was like 1 of 14 on 3rd down. the giants DB's were all over the cowboy receivers with very tight coverage. any team out there is beatable. we just need complete games by our team. i don't think we have done that all year. time to put a string of those together. :cool:

    And they gave that rookie QB fits, they shut him down, with picks and hits, and thats what he's going to get in the playoffs where he will be one and done, the cowfags are way over rated..

    I feel the same way, not much to be upset about but the int's however I want to take the small negative and turn into a positive. How many times have we watched Ben have a bad game and win...at least recently?? I feel this was a big step for this team, Ben had an off game and Bell stepped up to take up the slack and the defense turned in another solid performance. I have been pretty hard on this defense and since the Cowpie game they have done nothing but get better each week. I am starting to wonder if Tuitt was the one that got hurt and Heyward is playing in Tuitts uniform. Tuitt has been a beast the last few weeks, he has been all over the field and I am not ignoring anyone else cause there are a lot of players who have stepped up.

    I hope I don't jinx it by saying this but this defense has changed so much from 4 weeks ago and I hope it keeps going and improving each week. I as a fan am starting to get that swag back........

    The Giants D Coordinator, Steve Spagnuolo has been around a while and it was his defense that held Brady and company in check during Super Bowl XLII. Hopefully, his strategy last night laid the blueprint for how to deal with Dallas' offense going forward.

    That is true for every other contender,but they fix problems and then move on to the next one. We have the same problems week in and week out nothing gets fixed.
