You know, I'll admit, my confidence in this team was wearing pretty darn thin... But after that Minny win and this win in New York, I'm starting to have some faith. It's feeling like we have a heartbeat. But that heartbeat stops with special teams and defense... Our offense, outside of our O-line, is making me nervous. I don't know how the hell Dom Capers does it but the defense is putting in a solid performance nearly every week now... with a bunch of backups...
This upcoming game with the Cowpokes is a nervous game. It looks like it should be an easy win... In Green Bay, TERRIBLE Cowboys team, what appears to be a quality Packers defense/special teams and an average offense led by what I still think is one of the best QB's in the game... It's these kind of games that I'm afraid we could easily lose. Just don't get overconfident, PLEASE!!
I would feel VERY blessed going into our bye week at 6-3, given our injuries. Hell, I'd have been fairly happy if you'd have told me that we would be 6-3 at our bye even before the season started.
At this point, if we can keep up this pace and build on this success, I think that we can still get the number 1 seed in the NFC. We just need to keep our feet on the ground and our head out of the clouds and play football.
BTW, I think it's coming to light just how valuable Ted Thompson is. He has built a much deeper team than we gave him credit for. The moves he's made to bring guys in to help have worked out and they are contributing in a positive way. I'm for one, glad that he is the one running this team as opposed to myself or some others of us on this board...
