PrintFinally, we're just hours away from the big game. But it's not quite here yet, we have a whole slate of early games to get through before the main event.
This is an open thread for the early games and any pre-game Cowboys news or discussion.
Some last minute analysis from the official website and the DMN blog.
The history of the Cowboys/Steelers here and here.
The latest weather. Prediction says 23 degrees, wind 18 mph, feels like 8 degrees, but likely no precipitation.

im hopin for an eagles win (omg), saints win, panthers win, and COWBOYS WIN
i’ve never been this excited for a game since waiting for week 1
Superbowl or Bust?
FYI the winds won't be that bad in the 4th quarter
11 to 14 mph. Perfect time for a Romo victory drive.
Pounding Away on My Final Term Paper
Due tomorrow evening, so I’ll just be watching the scores of the early games on line.
Can the Falcons finally lose a game? Please? If they start to stumble, we should be in good shape, provided the Redskins and Eagles keep losing.
As bad as it could be
having Barber AND Ware not playing today(knocking on wood for Ware), we are lucky we have the opportunity to put another stud on the field instead of filling in a weak player. I (obviously) want Ware on the field, but Anthony Spencer is a gamer, and these two injuries are just one more reason for this team to come together and fight for each other at the end of the season. They know where they sit in the playoff picture, and they know what kind of opponent Pitt is going to be. With an offensive and defensive leader injured at the moment, that’s all the more reason for the focus and heart we all long for to come out for this week 14 game.
I am not impressed with the top of the AFC. I’m sorry, but this is the year of the NFC top tier teams. Dallas could certainly have better defensive numbers playing Cincy and Cleve twice this year instead of games against the Skins, Giants, and Iggles. The stage is set for the Dallas Defense to show the entire league and all the haters what kind of monster they can be… and what kind of MVP Romo is to this team. Roy Williams needs to establish himself in the offense at some point before the playoffs, and what a perfect time to blow up, right when we need a spark to start a long winning streak.
Go Dallas
ANTHONY HENRY STARTING AT FREE SAFETY!!!!
Time has come!!!
by DieSlowKeyshawn on Dec 7, 2008 11:46 AM CST reply actions
my bad..
Jay Glazer reported it during his segment on Fox NFL Sunday. He said originally Pacman was slated to return kicks/punts and shuffle around as a corner for sub packages, he said that’s not the case today, Henry will be moved to free safety and Pacman will be lined up at corner.

He also implied that Jerry Jones had something to do with it, overriding Wade...

yes sir
Henry at safety is definitely news..
"If you see me up in the mountains with a lion, I ain't lyin
don't help me, help the mountain lion"
I think he meant Coach Jerry Jones overriding Wade...
but whatever, this was needed, whoever is calling for it!

Henry moves to safety in all dime and nickel packages when pac is healthy. He is not talking about the base defense.

I don't get it, earlier in the segment he said the boys won't make the playoffs
yet picked them to beat Pittsburgh. If we win today coupled with a Falcons loss, things are looking UP, UP, UP!
by DieSlowKeyshawn on Dec 7, 2008 12:01 PM CST up reply actions
That's understandable
Cowboys are the Visiting team, no starting running back, weather condtions, against a tough defensive team that causes alot of turnovers.
But seriously...
the analysts are giving us NO CHANCE. Warren Sapp said it’ll be over early, Pittsburgh blow out because of no Marion Barber. Give me a break!
by DieSlowKeyshawn on Dec 7, 2008 12:01 PM CST up reply actions
they're commentators, that's what they're paid to do, give there opinions
What gets me is why so many cowboys fans get all up in the air because some commentators didn’t pick your team to win………..so they pick the Steelers—-big deal!!!
its not that they just pick the Steelers but apparently we have no chance and will be blown out early…damn right i’m “up in the air”
The Media Hates the Cowboys
Especially when facing an East Coast team (Pitts, New England, Giants, Eagles, etc.). Some stations are better than others, but if a team is not in the Eastern time zone, analysts in the major media outlets have a hard time comprehending they could win.
Yeah the media hates the cowboys
They only want them on their broadcasts every week because of the ratings. All the media outlets know which team brings in the money and the numbers.
Pitt beat the cowboys in Dallas, New England also beat the cowboys in Dallas, the eagles won last year in dallas, and almost beat them in week two for which I said at the time the Eagles were the better team and the giants beat the cowboys this year and last year in the playoffs last year. I think the media has a clue what they’re talking about, history has been speaking for them lately, but that’s not to say it could change today..
Pittsburgh Beat Dallas
In, what, 2004? What does that have to do with how good Dallas is right now?
I guess if a 6-10 Dallas team barely loses to a 15-1 Pittsburgh team four years ago, that validates how smart the media is? But if we barely beat the Eagles, that proves the Eagles are better?
Logic, untangle thy self.
In that game
Didn’t Testeverde fumble a handoff to Hambrick or Richie Anderson when we were running out the clock and they returned it for a TD?
Close
We were leading 20-17, just trying to run out the clock near midfield. Pittsburgh was out of timeouts. We decided to pass on third and long, and Ritchie Anderson accidently knocked the ball out of Testaverde’s hand. The Steelers recovered and returned it to the Dallas 25, and scored a few plays later.
Oh yea...
brutal. haha

they were 2-2 at the time, coming off a 10-6 record and a playoff game.
The media always looks at their most recent games and against each other. Heck whenever the cowboys and Steelers play, they talk about the seventies endlessly, you dont think that influences them, it does.. why, I dont know, what the seventies have to do with today is beyond me, but they do…Its’ their opinion, again why so many cowboy fans get all up in arms becasue a CEMMENTATOR doesn’t pick your team to win, it comes down too, the media hates the cowboys…
The better team lost in week two, that was the Eagles, that’s my opinion from watching that game, the key to that game was the botched handoff or fake handoff by McNabb when they were going in for a scoring drive. The Eagles are the same team that beat the cowboys in Dallas in December last year, you rememebr that collapse last year….
Dallas makes enough plays a game to shoot themselves in the foot, poor decision. poor plays, penalties, one dimentional, a soft team up front, no different from last year. a team that has alot of good players but they dont play as a team…
So What Does That Have to Do With Anything?
You were talking about how smart the media was, not how often they invoke ancient history.
Based on this and many other “discussion”, you have turned obfuscation into an art form.
I never said how smart they were, I said they have a clue
if the media picks the cowboy to win and the team loses, Silence by fans…
If the media picks the cowboys to lose and the cowboys win, the media are idiots.. Just because they dont agree with your prediction, that doesn’t make them idiots or haters or knowing less than you. It’s their opinion
The media and or commentators for the most part are ex-players, they make their decisions on recent history between the teams, injuries, tape they watch and matchups they breakdown and hoew the team is playing lately..
I guess the Rams were the better “team”.. I guess the better team never loses games they should win….
Good Grief
Having a clue, and how smart one is, are synonymous terms.
More obfuscation.
I have the choice of finishing my graduate term paper, or arguing with someone who contests the most utterly uncontroversial subjects, and makes a mockery of the English language.
Guess which one I’m choosing.

Who claimed he was glad the last Washington-Dallas game was played in DC, because the Cowboys were going to be buried in Arlington National Cemetery?
How’d that turn out, Warren?

i think the falcons aren’t good enough to end the season strong and as much as i like matt ryan we’re gonna take their playoff spot
also yea out of all the end arounds attempted by both the giants and eagles i think all of them have resulted in lost yardage
i kinda want the eagles to win so we can beat the giants next week and begin their downfall
Superbowl or Bust?
because we insisted on playing him 15 yards off the ball

Although I hope we win today. If we want to actually do any damage in the playoffs, then we have to win games like this.

i agree
a win would be huge but it would take some pressure off knowing atl lost and wash
mainly need to win
because the ny game is going to be a tough one. make the end three game stretch a little less stressful if we can get this win early.

We don't NEED the Falcons to lose, guys
Not to question the prevailing wisdom here, but….
Isn’t it just as good for us if the Falcons win their next few and win the division? Then we would be battling the Bucs and the Panthers. We own the tie-breaker over the Bucs due to our head-to-head win, and we would hvae the NFC record tie-breaker over the Panthers if they lose two more NFC games in the next 4 weeks.
Falcons losing isn’t the only way to the playoffs.
Larry Allen benched 700 pounds. That is Leonard Davis times two.
It's not--
but it’s obviously a helper and therefore why everyone is rooting for it
'he nails an open three from the corner....just like you and me, this one was made by penetration' - Truthaboutit - Round 1 Game 5 Recap
The problem with that
is you would need both Carolina and Tampa Bay to lose one more game each. With the Falcons scenario, its the easiest and fastest way in, and the Cowboys control their destiny.
by Brandon Worley on Dec 7, 2008 1:30 PM CST up reply actions
Too many games left to try to angle all that
everyone just needs to lose for now.
the preceding post was a great success.
No we want Carolina to win the division
and tie tampa. Falcons has a worse record than Carolina, and are therefore more likely to have a worse record than us in the end.
It may not be the only way to the playoffs but it would increase the margin of error.
WTF Philly

WOW
the giants blocked the eagles field goal and took it in for a td
Giants 7 Eagles 10
thats what the eagles get for not going for the end zone
Superbowl or Bust?
Do we just hate the Giants?
Shouldn’t we technically be rooting against Philly? I REALLY doubt we’re winning the division. But if Philly loses today, then you can pretty much cross them off as a team we need to be concerned about. And the more teams we can cross off that list, the better.
I think the optimal scenario would be a meteor hitting the stadium in the second half, but barring that, I’d prefer a Giants win, as much as I hate them.
Larry Allen benched 700 pounds. That is Leonard Davis times two.
i'm kind of mixed
on one hand it would be nice if the Iggles were out of it already by our final game. on the other hand, I would just like to see the Gnats lose!
Agreed
It does absolutely no good to see the Eagles beat the Giants. I hate both of them. A tie would be OK, and Donovan would know the rules this time.
yup
i want the giants to win. i don’t want philly back in this race, especially if they are playing a meaningful game the last game of the week

Ware Expected To Play
Posted by jellis at 12/7/2008 1:48 PM CST
Contrary to a national report this morning about the playing status of DeMarcus Ware, the fourth-year Cowboys linebacker and NFL sacks leader is still expected to play in today’s 3:15 p.m. (CST) game at Pittsburgh’s Heinz Field.
Ware was listed as probably on Friday. He told a member of the Cowboys PR staff this morning that nothing had changed since then.
-Josh Ellis
I'M ROOTING FOR THE EAGLE BECAUSE
A Giants loss this week, followed by a loss to us next week not only puts the Division back in play (barely I know) but also puts a WORLD of doubt in the mind of the only team I think can keep us from the SB

i think he can do both a ss or fs but hamlin has been solid enough
maybe henry won’t get burned as an ss type of player

I think Ware is going to earn the NFL MVP in this game
and our Safties have been holding up ever since he kick started his campaign

by AustonianAggie on Dec 7, 2008 1:59 PM CST up reply actions
It's a national spotlight game
So it could certainly help Ware’s chances for AP Defensive Player of the Year if he comes up big.
MVP is probably a stretch. When’s the last time a defensive player (or anyone other than a QB or RB, for that matter) won that?
Larry Allen benched 700 pounds. That is Leonard Davis times two.
Probably just call him a Safety
I don’t know if it’s meaningful to distinguish between FS and SS for Henry and Hamlin. They’ll probably be doing similar things, with Henry absorbing more man-to-man coverage roles. In fact, it might easiest to call all 4-5 of our guys back there “Defensive Backs” and leave it at that.

on Westbrook in pass coverage

Why Do Teams Always
Go for two? It’s to early! Let the game play out, then decide later.
If the Falcons kick two field goals, and the Saints don’t score again, they lose.
I’ve never understood why coaches panic like this.
Eli is looking a lot like that old Sheli we all know and love.

I hope Wade looks long and hard at the gametape

I’ll be in Dallas for my first ever Cowboys game and the 2nd to last game at Texas Stadium. I want to see a complete dismantling!

Roy Williams and Terrell Owens both wearing short sleeves....
And from what Spags is saying, a lot of the team is as well.
Just a thought...
Does this Giants Philly game look familiar? Giants 11-1 on the season and lose to the Eagles in December… just like we were on fire last year and lost to the eagles in December. Maybe the trend will continue all the way to the Superbowl =)
Remind me again
how many points has the Giants offense scored today? ;)
That would be.....zero.
Not missing Plaxico, though. FYI

Saints defense is absolutely horrid.

The Eagles have been fast finishers in December the last two years.
They seem to be doing it again.
don't like that at all

We need to be pulling for the Giants.
We not catching them and it works in our favor if they clinch early. They start resting guys and getting their offense out of sync. Its hard to get up for a game when you have it all locked up. Look at us last year.
We should be pulling for all division leaders. The more the division leaders win the more loses for potential wild cards. Thats our battle. The wild card.
I hope they both lose

I think its important to go for the division win
it makes a pretty banner and it’d be nice to sneak up and snatch from the giants

those saints are soo good

Ryan scores on a qb scramble.

LOL... we're getting reports about long/short sleeves, guess we need the game to hurry up and start!

Lol yeh.
I am anxious as hell. Feels like a playoff game buildup
by Brandon Worley on Dec 7, 2008 2:36 PM CST up reply actions
they've always been
their last few games they’ve been ok and when we’re playing at our best and they’re playing at their best
then we’ll win
Superbowl or Bust?
With a few exceptions
The Giants have looked mediocre this season. I guess I should clarify: Eli has looked mediocre. That’s why I’m not too worried about the Giants.
"So you can’t stiff arm at all? What about the throat?"- Marion "Barbarian" Barber
yup
people are marching up and down the field like nobody’s business and they try for 2 with more than 8 minutes left in the game.
smart

Please, Please, Please
[to quote James Brown]
Please Saints, have a nice, long, time-consuming drive to kick a chip shot field goal on the last play to win it.
If the Falcons get the ball back with more than 30 second to play, the Saints defense won’t be able to hold them.
woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow

That Bears vs Falcons game a few weeks ago is just a heartbreaker...
bears had the damn game won and lost it in the final seconds…that win by the Falcons is huge.

why
do the saints keep running bush when pierre thomas has been so much better
bush is more of a screen pass type of guy and can be a reciever but not a between the tackle runner
