Showdown in the Big Easy

Once again the Dallas Cowboys find themselves in a very interesting situation. If the Cowboys win out, there in the playoffs, whether it be as division winner or wildcard. The only problem is this weekend they play the undefeated Saints.

This is no doubt the Cowboys biggest game of the year. It’s a Saturday night game in New Orleans with the Cowboys season hanging in the balance. It’s what the NFL hopes and prays for every year.

Of course, leave it to the Cowboys to talk some smack leading into the game. Roy Williams said that this is just round one for these two teams, implying they’ll meet again in the playoff. I’m not sure if Roy has been keeping pace with what’s going on in the NFL, or his team for that matter.

This game isn’t just big for Dallas, the Saints want it bad too. If they win this game they’re one step closer to home field advantage throughout the playoffs. And if you don’t think the Saints want to clobberknock the Cowboys at home in front of a good majority of the NFLs fans you’re obviously a Dallas fan.

The bottom line is the Cowboys can talk turkey all they want but they’ve got to go out and prove they have what it takes to win in December. Nobody has seen a Dallas team show up this late in the year since the days of Troy Aikman.

If Dallas has a good showing in New Orleans it could provide a boost of confidence, something this team has been missing down the stretch of the past few seasons.
