Huge Pivotal Games for the Dallas Cowboys

[Sarge]

Some games are critical (e.g., divisional games, rivalries, traditional holiday games and of course MNF; when all of the teams in the NFL have a chance to stop and take at the two teams playing).

But aside from those games mentioned above, certain teams have a tendency to exploit, uncover, expose, and generally bring out the best and worst in our respective teams.

That said, in your opinions, what teams will the Cowboys play in 2007 that are pivotal games that will serve as barometers?

My choices are highlighted in "bold" ...

Giants - divisional game (Wade Phillips 1st divisional game in Dallas)

@ Miami - number 3 defense in NFL ranking
@ Chicago - Superbowl opponent in 2006
ST. LOUIS
@ Buffalo
NEW ENGLAND - Brady to Moss or Stallworth
MINNESOTA - Top ten in NFL DL rankings
BYE WEEK
@ Philadelphia - divisional(in Philly)
@ NY Giants - divisional(bak-to-back; and in New Jersey)
WASHINGTON - divisional (back-to-back; 2nd game/rival game for Wade ...must win)
NY JETS
GREEN BAY
@ Detroit
PHILADELPHIA - division (another opportunity "at home" game ...must win)
@ Carolina -
@ Washington - division (in Washington) ... may be the hardest game of the season

Note: None ofv the game highlighted denote win/loss; only intended to denote severity, importance, and opponents who have the greatest potential to reveal team strengths and or weaknesses.

I'd say we might want to work on our funny nick-naming skills.

As for Talon, I think he generally tries to participate and is generally respectful. I like that this site has regulars from other NFCE teams, so I don't usually try to scare them off unless they're clearly trolls.

Thank you, that's very well appreciated.

Huge Pivotal Games for the Dallas Cowboys

Hmmmm, PT I see your list. However I do have a question....

You list the Huge Pivotal games.

I'm wondering which of the remaining games are merely Huge and which are just Pivotal. It's like the whole Cowboy season is entering a Grave Crisis or something. :

They're all important esp against the better teams and those against East rivals. But I get the message. Yeah some games are pivotal. We really need to win the East and get a bye. Not a must have but a really want to for me.
