Yep. If we lay another egg on national TV, we will know the answer.

I honestly believe this is one of the best Cowboy teams I have ever seen, but how they come out tommorow night will say everything.

If you aren't a contender at 12-2 then nobody is.

At least if we do lay another egg, nobody will be watching to notice. :D

We are not only contenders.

We could challenge for the #2 spot in all of the NFL. Thats right WE may very well be better than the Colts... and only a step or so behind the Pats.

For a long time now, especially in the month of December, we've been pretenders. Even under the watchful eye of Parcells.

And even now, we've not played the last two games of this present December of 07' like a 12-2 team (12-1 until last Sunday) should. We have not played the caliber ball of a New England team, or even a 12-2 Green Bay team.

So currently, the Cowboys are back to their pretending ways, unless the team decides to come together and play like the talented team we know they are. 11 Pro Bowlers within this squad says we have a plethora of talent. Time to prove it.

A top-5 NFC teanm? You don't think much of Cowboys at 12-2, do you?

We are top-3 team in NFL and anybody questioning this team, whether or not they are a contender, needs their head examined.

Yep-and a defensive/ST TD was also the difference in the Jets game, while a Jets receiver dropping a pass in the endzone was also another. We didn't get these breaks against Philly.

Zoners and mediots have criticized Romo for locking into Owens too much recently(while some have said it was b/c to "make him happy"). If you've noticed in recent weeks how Brady has been locking into Moss too much-I guess Randy is back to his cancerous ways too, eh?
