Dallas definitely has a lot to prove, first exorcising the demon of bad Decembers, then specifically the 2008 season closer at Philly and now the no-playoff-wins bugaboo. All that goes bye-bye if they win on Saturday.

The other key factor is that almost all of the Cowboys are pretty healthy. They have been very lucky this year. Their only big loss was Colombo at tackle where Free stepped in and did an outstanding job. Barber and Jones came back from leg problems and look pretty sharp. The rest of the roster looks pretty good.

If they could just get Romo and Roy Williams synchronized they could be deadly. Every time I watch Rice at Minnesota I drool in envy.

Philly didn't execute on offense. Their gameplan on D was pathetic. They've done very well in the past blitzing Romo. They didn't get close to him until the game was already in the bag for the Cowboys.

I was shocked that both Romo and McNabb finished the games. Pretty bad judgement in my opinion. I know Romo took a pretty good shot late in the game. I'm surprised Jerry didn't call Wade on the Jerry phone and order him out of the game.
