Dallas Cowboys, New England Patriots, NFC, AFC, Super Bowl, Playoffs

I'm a Cowboys fan and think they're worth the hype but the question is to you the fan .... Are Romo, TO, JW, and the Barbarian really worthy enough to beat the AFC's golden child, the Patriots in the Mother of All Rematches?

I hate the Cowboys. I think they are vile, detestable scum and would like to see them go 0-16 every year for all of eternity. And despite what they want to call themselves they are most definitely NOT "America's team."
However, one must acknowledge that they are unfortunately a very good football team and have lived up to their hype. I wouldn't call them easy pickings for anyone and I think they can hold their own against anyone else in the AFC except the Patriots, but I do not think they are capable of beating New England if they meet them in the Super Bowl. They lost by 21 at home so I don't think they were exactly right there with the Pats and New England has TONS of post season and Super Bowl experience while Dallas has virtually none.
I wish I could say Dallas stinks but I can't. But they are not as good as NE. I will certainly root for them to lose every week though.

Hard to say, I mean come on the only real AFC team they played was the Patriots IN Dallas and they lost. They found a way to win against the Bills, so have to give them some credit. As an NFC team they are worth the hype. As an NFC v Patriots team, I think they might be with the Patriots getting more worn out, and the weaknesses they have are being shown.

I'm a HUGE Cowboys fan and yes I think they are worth the hype. I think with a little more practice they could beat them. I think they had a bad week or something when they played them this year. I mean look at the past few games the Patriots have played. They have been pretty close to losing a few times. I think they are getting sloppy cause they are getting cocky.

If it wasn't for the Pats we'd be talking about the Cowboys and their remarkable season.
That being said, Dallas will need to figure how to slow the Pats, as impressive as Romo and his recievers have been they can not win a shoot out against NE right now. I believe that the Pat's experience would be a decisive factor in a SB rematch, prolly along the lines of a 42-28 Pats victory.

The Cowboys were winning in the third quarter against teh Pats, the end score was not indicative to the game.
Terry Glen will apparently be back in two weeks and even if he plays a little he will open the field due to his deep threat capabilities.
New England is better but watch the Cowboys and Wade, they'll come up with some schemes to put more presure on Brady and knock him around a bit.
Any given Sunday.

Not at all, the patriots are good, there's no questioning that. But, the cowboys are just as good. I think that even if when the cowboys and patriots meet they lose, it will be one of the closest and best games you'll ever see

They are worth the hype. They have the tools to beat the Patriots. By the time they meet in the Super Bowl, Dallas will be a whole lot better team. They will know what to expect from the Patriots because they all ready played them earlier in the season.....

They are the favorites to win the NFC. But remember that the league is very competitive so any good team could beat then any given Sunday. They survive 2 very close calls ( Buffalo and Detroit) so it is possible that teams like Minnesota, NY, GB, TB or the red hot Sea hawks could beat them. There are going to be very good games down the stretch!
Same thing can be said about the AFC. The Pats are undefeated but the have had 3 very close games (IND, BAL, PHI) that they actually came from behind, and in those types of games one play could mean to either win or lose the game...They have had the luck on their side but if I am honest I do not think they'll make to the SB.

It's only a matter of time before someone will beat Dallas. There's too much parity in the NFC, look at their last two games against teams that shouldn't have even put up a fight. I think everyone wants Dallas and New England to play for the Super Bowl, but I'd personally like to see Brett Favre beat down Tom Brady, and go out a winner.

Dallas actually matches up really well w/NE especially if you have Henry healthy allowing Newman to cover Welker in the slot. Newman is the 'Boys best CB & Brady loves to go to Welker, he's had huge days in those close calls against Philly & Baltimore. I think the Cowboys will cover Moss w/Henry & roll over safty help while Reeves will be in charge of Stallworth & then Newman can man up on Welker. The front seven, & maybe even 6, will be able to take care of whatever run game NE might bring & just like the first time around the Ware & Ellis will pressure Brady. Can't wait.
