The Dallas Cowboys are 1-4, but they aren’t dead in the water. If they have any hope of making the playoffs, though, it starts with a big home win on Monday Night Football against the New York Giants, who conveniently happen to be one of the teams they are chasing in the NFC East.
The popular scapegoat for the Carolina Panthers 0-2 start has been quarterback Jake Delhomme but in reality, the Panthers have more problems than just him. The Panthers defense has been a nightmare to start the season and “star” Julius Peppers has been nowhere to be found.
Meanwhile, the Cowboys are taking some heat but they actually have played fairly well. Last week, they nearly topped the New York Giants at home and that’s after turning the ball over four times. Most teams – like the Panthers – can’t afford to turn it over so many times and still be in the game.
The Dallas Cowboys will unveil their new billion dollar stadium on Sunday Night Football this week as the New York Giants come to visit. It’s an early statement game in the NFC East as both teams are considered contenders and maybe even more so now that the Philadelphia Eagles starting quarterback Donovan McNabb has a rib injury.
