If the Cowboys don't win Sunday the season is over.
That means you are talking about a cornered, trapped and very dangerous animal. An animal that will fight with 10 times the ferocity.
I honestly think Houston is a better, more complete team right now, and they have home field advantage. Houston obviously feels it has a score to settle with the Cowboys, having spent their entire franchise life under the Cowboy's their big *** shadow.
But in studying nature film I notice trends in all physical confrontations:
-I watched a grizzly bear get schooled by a cougar that was 1/3 it's size...because the Grizzly lacked the motivation to get clawed up. The bear didn't have sufficient motivation to really tangle. Survival wasn't at stake. Baby cubs weren't at stake. The bear was run off, and the cougar, with one final spray of claws on the grizzly's backside, added an exclamation point.
- I watched a warthog pile drive a lioness away from it's den of babies.
- I watched an octopus wrap up and kill a shark in 5 seconds, when the shark was caught outside of it's predator mode.
-If you want a more human example, consider Britain against Germany in World War II.
Houston can afford a loss. Dallas cannot.
Forget everything else. In battles for survival the superior animal, person, team often isn't the winner.
If for some reason this team doesn't come out like a swarm of fire ants on Sunday...then they'll not only be 0-3, but they'll be exposed as a dog with no fight.
