[DBoys]

Got this from a Patriots forum...

Lifetime series Cowboys lead - 7 to 2

Cowboys record at home against the Patriots - 4 and 0.

- Patriots have never won at Dallas, Washington or San Francisco.

Bill Belichick is 2 and 1 against Dallas.

Wade Phillips is 4 and 2 against the Patriots.

The last time the Patriots were 5 and 0 and faced a 5 and 0 team was back in 10/24/04 against the Jets and the Patriots won 13 to 7.

The Patriots are a combined 23 and 4 against the NFC since 2001, winning 19 of their last 21 in both regular and post season play.

- Brady is 155 of 232 (66.8&#37 with 18 touchdowns and 5 interceptions in that same period with a QB rating of 110.9.

The Patriots, overall, are 10 and 22 against the NFC East in regular season play.

- Dallas - 1 - 7
- NY Giants - 4 - 3
- Philadelhphia - 3 - 6
- Washington - 1 - 6

This game is the 4th longest road game drought in Patriots history. (last played on 12/15/96) The remaining are -

3. Baltimore - 10/06/96 (ends this year)
2. San Francisco - 9/17/95 (ends in 2008)

"Now throw in the Randy Moss factor. In six career games against Dallas, Moss has never lost. What's more, he seems to have made playing the Cowboys a personal vendetta. His totals in those six games: 29 catches, 675 yards and 10 touchdowns."

Yhea, Moss always seems to light it up against us . . . .

Maybe the 7th time we play him is a charm.

I wonder if Newman will be on him all game.

You are so right.....and that really concerns me!

I'd consider letting Newman mirror Stallworth and letting Henry and a Safety double Moss.

But then again, what do I know? . . . . (rhetorical question)

If the coaches let Henry jam him at the line with the safety over top would be great. Knock him around a little

You guys think Henry will be back for this one?

Reeves is faster and takes fewer chances.

I'd shadow Moss with Carpenter, and hit him every time the ball is snapped.

Nice idea, SP. I think that'd work.

Or, we could really intimidate him with size and put Spears on him. He might catch it, but WHAM! when he does. :laugh2:
