I know stats don't tell the whole story, but that is the only hard evidence we have right now besides 8-0 vs 4-4.
And we will take down the cardinals. I'm tired preparing for the worst and hoping for the best. In 30+ yrs of being a loyal and stanch Cowboys fan, I've seen good and bad. But I'm always behind my Boys.
I think the Cards may lose but they will give your Boys a run for their money.
I think as bad as they have been they still have some playmakers on both sides of the ball that can make a difference.

Why not us? Have you ever compared the stats?
Offense
Colts #1 passing 277.1 YPG
Cowboys #8 Passing 229.5 YPG
Colts #21 Rushing 101.5 YPG
Cowboys #5 Rushing 136.9 YPG
Colts #3 Scoring 29.0 PPG
Cowboys #4 Scoring 27.9 PPG
First stat : Colts lead the league in passing because as everyone knows they play in a pass happy offense. Cowboys are close because they have fallen behind in games they should have won or well ...TO.
2nd Stat : Parcells likes to run the ball, always has, always will, especially when only down by 10 or so. Manning and Moore...not so much especially without Edge. They are just getting comfortable with the rushing attack. Also they have been in some shootouts this year which gives Manning that much more leeway.
3rd Stat : Steelers are #10 or 11 in scoring. Do you think they are a better team than the Cowboys ? Total scoring includes defensive/ST scores too.
