The Cowboys seem to be building more and more momentum each week. They will have a super test on Thanksgiving against the Broncos. Drew Bledsoe is having a great year despite the fact that Detroit took away his deep passing game on Sunday.

I can see Dallas coach Bill Parcells saying to himself, "My defense is good enough; so I'm going to just pound the ball." He can be really stubborn. But you could tell he really wanted to get Julius Jones untracked in this ball game.

Rookie runner Marion Barber has been solid, but we all know what Jones can do when he is healthy. He's a slasher, a home-run hitter. He will end up making more big plays than what Barber can deliver right now. The combination of those two runners and Bledsoe being able to open up the offense makes me feel that Dallas will simply get better and better. Their defense has been consistent and solid all year long.

When you have a defense like the Cowboys... even in some of their losses, they played well enough to win. They had two collapses at the end, but that's all — maybe two or three plays in each game. Their defense hasn't been really dominated in any game.

He's ABSOLUTELY correct.. I agree with him... We'll get the Bronco's this week too.

Boyz 27 Bronco's 17

Our CB's will handle their WR's which leaves Roy in the BOX all game making plays. He will handle those "cut back" runs. Big game in the air for Bledso and Glen this week too..

I really have to agree w/ Parcell's trying to get our running game on track. We have to w/ our questionable tackles. If JJ can start teams focusing again on our run than it will give Bledsoe the time he needs to get to our receivers. Plus, getting Crayton back will be huge! You have to figure Pettiti and Tucker will get better w/ each game. We all miss Flo, but lets deal w/ what we now are. I would have liked to have seen more improvement week to week, but we are winning and thats what counts. This game is huge.

right dmq. but i dont think its just because weak tackles but i dont want to have our success resting in the passing games arms (not a shot at bledsoe). passing games in general are dangerous if u depend on them too much...(see seattle and philly games)

I'm just glad we can get that choking in the final minute monkey off our back, due in large part to us finishing games, but also in part to a majority of teams, screwing it up and taking our mantra lol
