Is Denver an "important game"? Absolutely.
Is Denver a measuring stick to how good we are? Ummm...I'm not so sure.
Win or lose will you really have a feel for where the Cowboys are as a team? Make no mistake about it, we will measure ourselves in the next real "Big Game" and that will be at Philly.
Don't get me wrong, I realize every game is huge in a 3 point league, but I believe all the questions from fans and media alike will come out in that game--and the answers will tell us where we stand.
Can we compete with Philly & Giants within the division?
How will we play in the first game back to the "scene of the crime"?
Can we hold Desean Jackson down? Can we run on them?
And most importantly - Will we get great Tony or Bad Tony? Game manager in a loss or gunslinger in a win?
Denver, KC, Atlanta...gotta win those, but we all know the next time this team will be judged as a contender or pretender, the next time Tony will have to prove himself, the next time we see what happens when we get punched in the mouth.
That my friends will be on a Sunday night in front of the entire country in Philly. We will know then who the Dallas Cowboys are this year.
