TO and Glenn dont account for our defense being 4th overall.

Try again.
When did I say anything about a ranking?

I said we're missing many key players that have contributed to our success as a TEAM.

There's much more possibility for the NFC Championship Game to go through New Orleans. There's more of a chance that it would go through Seattle before it goes through Dallas. The Seedings are #1 Chicago, #2 New Orleans, #3 Seattle, #4 Dallas. Whether the 'Boys fans want to admit it or not your 4 losses have had a more of an impact of our 4 losses. See 3 of our losses are to AFC teams, which gives us a better Conference record therefore we currently own the tie breaker.

If the playoffs started today, Cowboys would have to play the Giants again, yes the GMen.

There's a great site that I use to visually see my team's chances. It's amazing go check it out. Link

I would have loved to see our teams face off, with my Saints at full health, but the world doesn't work that way. Remember these aint yo daddy's Saints. We have amazing depth at all positions, these Saints never give up. See ya Sunday....Good Luck!!!

Come visit us...we like to hear the opponent's opinion. WhoDatZone

Thanks for posting that link. Good site.

You asked where we would be without TO or TG.

My point was they dont play defense and defense is the most crucial part of putting togther a CHAMPIONSHIP team, just ask the Colts.

So... without TO or TG our defense would still be 1 of the best in the league. It wouldnt be any different.

Also, why do you speak in IFs, shoulda, coulda, woulda. Use the facts and not hypotheticals.

IF the playoffs start today... IF these guys werent hurt... blah blah blah. The playoffs DONT start today, your idiot DT USED steroids and CHEATED.

Try again.

Aren't you glad YOUR team is healthy for Sunday's game. You can't possibly question me being a fan. It's my home team, Been a fan since I can remember. I'm no bandwagoner, they jumped off last month.

In all honesty, do you think your team has a chance with Colston, Horn, Bush, Smith & Thomas all at 100%?.................I think not.

Where would Dallas be w/out T.O. or T Glenn?

Nor do you have the right to question any of us being fans. You would do well to remember that you are a guest on this forum. Personally, I've been a Cowboys fan since about the time that Archie Manning was handing off to Bob Gresham and throwing to Dan Abramowicz.

In all honesty, our team has a chance to beat any team, any given Sunday. Just like your team does (well, except for this Sunday :D ).

PS Stop using the "___________ was hurt/not 100%/suspended for using pig aphrodesiac, etcetera,etcetera......" excuse. That's beneath any true fan.

Defense can't win all games....look at the Bears....If it only took defense there wouldn't be offense and special teams.

I just threw TO & TG out there because they are 2 of your marquee starters.

The fact is we are the #2 seed presently posessing the bye. 7-1 conference record, second only to the Bears. You claim you've beaten the best, I don't know if that means the Colts cause afterall they've got the worst run defense in the league, yet they're still 10-2.

This game means a whole lot more to the Cowboys than it does to the Saints.....'cause the Cowboys are playing from behind.

(p.s. I hate hearing how Romo is 5-1 as a starter, it takes team effort, Bledsoe didn't lose those games, the Cowboys did, and now they stand at 8-4 and stop pointing the finger at each other)

Dont compare us to the Bears.

We dont have Rex Grossman.

They will be dealt with in the playoffs in their 1st game.

Who cares "the fact" your #2 seed? There are 4 games left.

I never questioned anyone on this forum about being a fan, afterall you are on the forum.

I know my team has a chance to beat anyone on any given Sunday. I just said that I wish my team would have it's starting line-up on Sunday. 'Cause if we're gonna be the best we have to play the best...right.(Half of our best are unable to practice because of nagging injuries) I thought you all would understand that coming off last season with your injuries, I guess I was wrong then.

Hollis Thomas is a great DT. At the beginning I thought this would be bad for our team, then I read that he had the support of the organization(Benson would drop him like a hot potatoe if he didn't believe him) I believe that it was a possibility that there could have been a false positive. My mother and sister take that same combination of meds and those results come up all the time. I think it was all a problem because there may have been a problem with the prescription. Atleast he'll be fresh for the playoffs.

For the record I never meant to disrepect anyone on this board If I did, I apologize. I love my team just as much as you love yours. If some Saints fans come off as obnoxious its because we are happy to finally have a Coach and a team that never gives up.

THX for your time.

I like the Saints this week.

I'll give them the W.

Do you have any blood left after slitting your wrists due to being an Eagles, Sixers, and Phillies fan over the years?

I got this idea from a post by Big Dog, when he speculated the NFC Championship game might very well be held in Dallas, since its quite possible the Bears will drop their playoff game. When I think about it, IF we can get the first round bye and homefield for our first game, I would give us very good odds. I STILL don't think the Bears are balanced enough to get deep into the playoffs. I'm thinking right now, if i had to make a bet, I would bet the NFC Championship is held in Dallas, and if so, I like our chances...
Dont wake me up........... :)
Thanks for the credit. I believe every word!!!!!!!

If you had really watched any games the Cowboys played with Bledsoe as their starter then you would know Bledsoe played prominently in the Cowboys' losses this year. I really believe if Romo had started a couple of games earlier then this discussion of the #2 or #3 seed wouldn't even be a concern.

Hey,,, someone stole this game plan from Chicago! :p:

seriously, Lovie would be a giant sized buffoon if he let lil' rex wing the ball around in the playoffs. I think they're letting rex do it now in hopes that he will improve but come playoff time all that crap will be ripped out of the playbook... either that or Griese will be behind center.

If Griese is behind center, that team becomes more of a force. A lot of people are down on Griese but he's the perfect QB Chicago needs at the moment. I just hope they wait to make the change until next season.

That's not right. Chicago won't play in the wildcard round so it would be a loss in the divisional game. The next game is the NFC Championship game. The NFL does not use a bracket system, playoff matchups are determined based on seeding week-to-week. So if Dallas is the #2 seed and Chicago is out, they will host the championship game.
Glad the NFL does it that way. Rewards the number 1 seed by giving them the "easiest" route to the SuperBowl. Makes the regular season even more relevant.

Do you realize that conference record doesn't mean anything between Dallas and the Saints because we play each other, and only 1 time.
Dallas31;1216508 said:

Whomever wins this game between us will have the tiebreaker. Conference records won't mean anything between Dallas and the Saints. Lose this week and your conference record being better than Dallas' means nothing if we end up with the same record. Unless maybe if we end up in a 3-way tie at the end with Seattle. Then and only then would the Saints' better conference record mean anything.

Conference record does mean something between the 'Boys & Saints. If it doesn't mean anything then why are we the #2 seed and 'Boys are #4. Since we hadn't played eachother yet. Sunday night if we lose and Seattle wins, Dallas will only be the #3 seed based on conference record...check it out...
I'm just stating the fact that we have the #2 seed now is because of Conference record since we hadn't played each other YET.

If we indeed lose then and only then will the conference record not mean anything...and then we'll be the 4th seed(without a bye). Then the possibility of us meeting again in the NFC Championsip increases cause we'll be on the other side of the brackets.

I thought you would have took it as a compliment....me comparing your #7 Defense to the #2 Defense.

(Looks like I found the wrong Dallas site to visit)
