PFT: Officially, Drew Brees is virtually certain to play

[cajuncocoa]

But we're not on the team, none of us... If I'm in a competition, I would never concede defeat, nor go into it thinking I would surely lose... But we're not competing in the NFL, we're just fans evaluating things based on what our eyeballs see... And when my eyeballs see no Romo, no Dez, and an injured and lack-luster defense, I know it will be difficult for us to beat anybody at this point... So don't blame us for expecting to be torched by Tom Brady and the Patriots next week...

Luckily the players don't feel the same, they'll take the field with the attitude of "any given Sunday"... But there's a reason why they say it like that, "any given Sunday", it's because we could beat the Patriots without Romo, but it's highly unlikely, unless it happens to be one of those special "given Sundays"....

And I know we were talking about the Saints and not the Patriots, but if I can have a pessimistic attitude regarding the New England game, then why can't I also be pessimistic to a lesser degree when facing the Saints...

You can be pessimistic every week if you want to be. I choose to believe until proven wrong. Just a difference in our approach I guess.

Cowboys need to win no matter who is QBing either team. 3-1 would be great under the circumstances.

Seriously. And at this point, I don't care how we win. 3-1 just feels so much better than 2-2. I'm fine getting ugly, grind it out type wins until the cavalry returns.

Yea, I heard that on SIRIUS Radio a little while ago. On the upside, Brees should be a stationary target for the pass rush (if one even exists).

and we should drive that shoulder into the ground every chance we have

Drew Brees isn't Drew Brees anymore.

Neither is the Super Dome. The Saints have lost six straight there.

It'll be a close game.

which means they are due

Would rather play against Brees the Cowboys have played some of their worst games the past 3 seasons against journeymen QBs.

I would be plenty satisfied with multiple sacks and hurried throws...just win!

What do you mean? The Cowboys are Road Warriors.

I hope the Cowboys rule the road... But I'm afraid that it might actually be Romo that rules the road...
