We all know the magnitude of this game and how there will be much hype of two 10-1 teams fighting possibly for home-field advantage in the playoffs. I look back to Week 14 of the 2006 season when Dallas faced off against New Orleans on Sunday Night Football. This huge game gave us a chance to really make a statement of dominance in the NFC. We all know the outcome of that game. Dallas lost 42-17 and were most definitely out-coached and exposed. It led to the downfall of the 06' season, where teams basically had a blueprint to beat Dallas defensively. The point is, the players must remember they were in a similar situation last year where they had a chance to take over in the NFC. We all knew the Cowboys would be a playoff team in 2007, but almost no one thought we would be 10-1 for the first time in franchise history with a brand new head coach, along with a new offensive and defensive coordinator. The 10-1 record is amazing and we're all riding high right now guys, but back in training camp we knew this team was going to be judged by how they played in in late November through December. I hope the players remember last year and how they have a GREAT opportunity to stake their claim in the NFC! Here's to a great December! :beer2:
