Today marks the beginning of preparation week for the Dallas Cowboy's second season. Every game from here on out is due or die for Dallas, and this week's practice will set the tone for the remainder of the season.
With all of the bye weeks out of the way for NFC East teams, the standings should begin to take shape. Although they are currently sitting in last place in the conference, they have the same record as the third place team and are only one game behind the second place team which happens to be the Washington Redskins.
The Cowboys will play the Redskins next week in Washington. With the opportunity to jump to 6-4 (the same record that the Redskins would then have).
I am not saying that Dallas will make the playoffs, but I do believe that they have s shot. It sounds cliche, but they are truly in control of their own destiny. With the return of key players on both sides of the ball next week, Dallas will have the opportunity to play like the team everyone originally thought they would be.
Let's take it week by week, but these last 7 games will each be a determining factor the ending result of the Cowboys' ultimate fate this season. The most important factor will not be how many touchdown catches T.O has, how many yards Romo will throw for, or the impact that the return of Terence Newman will have on the defense.
The deciding factor will be emergence of a member of this team that doesn't show up on stat sheets. I'm not sure where it's hiding, but Jerry Jones should put out an APB for the "heart and soul" of the Dallas Cowboys.
