The NFC is wide open. It's there for the taking. A cake-walk. Who can threaten our Cowboys?
After giving it some thought I think the answer is obvious. Our biggest threat in the end will be the 1-5 Carolina Panthers. It's obvious right?
Our own JobberOne said last night the Panthers had no chance...100:1. Everybody thinks Carolina is done and dead.
The reality is that Carolina has things tilted completely in their favor. They are sitting right where they like it. Think I'm crazy?
I am crazy but you better read on!
Here is a team that was 15-1 last season, winning games by huge margins. They were consensus preseason NFC favorites. What the hell happened?
Carolina loses in Denver on opening night by 1 point when their kicker fails to deliver with 4 seconds left. In subsequent games their o-line is hobbled. Cam Newton suffers a concussion and misses time. Their secondary, after the departure of all-pro Josh Norman and some injuries...is shredded.
Bam. They are bested, bloodied, beaten. Like Batman they are broken and stuck in a hole in the ground. Imprisoned, with no chance for escape.
But here's the thing. For those of us who pay attention we've seen this before. In 2013 Carolina started 1-3 only to go on a run. Not only did they make the playoffs but they finished at 12-4.
In 2014 they were completely out of it...until they weren't. They were 3-8-1 only to somehow make the playoffs and win a playoff game.
Carolina is the reigning NFC champ. They've made the playoffs 3 years in a row. Never underestimate the heart of a champion. Don't sleep on the talent of a champion.
That black cat has been hounded and hurt. It's now cornered and must play at the highest level almost every game for the balance of the season. Under Coach Riviera that is exactly the circumstances where they thrive.
That is a team with 9 lives.
T-RO has told you how this unfolds. Ultimately it could come down to our Cowboys to finish them off.
