The thing that bothers me the most is this is almost a "no win" situation perception wise.

If we lose... its the December blues yet again. and if we win we we should because we are playing an under manned injured... blah blah blah Giants team...

There is no joy ( having said that I hope we smack them in the mouth so hard they don't wake up till the draft...)

They and the Eagles did not have any mercy last year when they beat an injured Dallas team ..... and they did not enjoy it any less.

So you only care if Dallas wins and BSPN is hugging our nuts?

Not really I only care that we win...

It just seems that as I said from a media stand point we can't really win...

Who cares about perception?

Know when we'll win over the media?

When we win a playoff game.

9-3, atop the NFC East, and putting the Giants out of their misery is good enough for me;)

It seems to me that so many of our beloved Zone Posters' perception of the Dallas Cowboys is irrationally linked to the perception of the National Media.

If we beat the Giants, IN New York, effectively ENDing their postseason hopes and probably Eli Manning's season, is anyone really going to care what Keyshawn Johnson and Rodney Harrison have to say about it?

I doubt it.

I disagree. We won't win over the media until we win the SB. Then the very next year, we'll have to win them over again... cause you know they'll say it was a fluke. No respect. But that is why we all call them mediots.

Honestly, the only people the Cowboys have to prove anything to... is each other.

I dont have much room to talk here, cause when we play the giants I am media hyper sensitive.

But, all these people who are talking about Dallas December problems said we would be out of it by now anyway.

So for them to sit their and say we will struggle is nonsense, according to their expert analysis Dallas was the third team in this divsion ....maybe depending on washingtons play.

So for us to be going up there To stay in front of the east basically ruins all the credit they have.

and all the media keep running around with these romo december numbers...5-8 5-8....blah blah....well if it is all about numbers in December, Romo is 2-0 vs NY in December. One win on the road and one at home.

You wont see matt mosely, calvin watkins, carl banks, bob pappa, ralph vacchiano etc...bringing that up though, its the 5-8 that pushes their agenda...

Who cares about the score as long as we win.

The NFC East is always a dog fight ..... I expect it to be a hard game every time.

If I know one thing about style points, I know Felix Jones no longer has the right to celebrate after TD's.

Dude looked like there was a fire in his pants.

I just checked the standings and they have us listed as 8-3. No mention of the 2 ugly wins against losing teams.

I don't think they'll factor into any potential tie breakers either.

I don't care just get the job done, and bury this team alive. I'm sick of the Giants fans on YouTube being so confident in their injury plagued circus they have. They have NO room to talk **** about our past failures either.

I'm guessing they won't mention how many losses Romo has in that stadium either.

Surprising since they're so in love with their precious meaningless trends.

And for the record, I'm not confident we win this weekend because Romo happens to be 2-0 in NY, I'm confident because we are a better and healthier team.

I don't think this is a no win situation at all. Any NFC East game is a challenge. This one adds more:

1. It is a mental hurdle for the Boys - winning a big game in December
2. Pretty much knocking an East rival out of the playoffs and almost guranteeing a playoff spot IMo with 1 more win


HUge, HUge Huge win if the Cowboys pull it off no matter who is injured on the opposing side!
