 Dallas Cowboys
Up until a month ago, Greg Ellis and fellow linebacker DeMarcus Ware led the Dallas Cowboys in sacks. While nobody was confusing them for the New York Jets Sack Exchange of the 1980s, their semi-regular presence in the offensive backfield was adequate enough to keep opposing quarterbacks off balance. But then Ellis tore his left Achilles' tendon....

Cowboys have a lot of questions to answer. As good as everyone is feeling about them, they are still only 8-5. That is a record of a team that is flawed, not dominant.
And you can only blame so much on Bledsoe. He doesn't play defensive back, pass rush or block. Atlanta and Philly are both games that cannot be overlooked. Vick and Garcia both can make it happen if not harassed. Detroit is a free pass, and truthfully a lucky break for the Cowboys as a season ender.
'Boys gotta' win one of the next two, might as well be this week, show the country what's up on Saturday Night.

I THINK THE DIFFRENCE AGAINST NEW ORLEANS WAS THE PASS RUSH, JUST ABOUT ANY QB WILL HAVE A GREAT GAME IF THERE IS NO REAL PRESURE. WITH ALL THAT TIME TO SURVEY THE FIELD FOR THE QB AND TIME FOR RECIEVERS TO GET OPEN THE COWBOYS WILL HAVE THE SAME RESULT. COWBOYS DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR NEEDS TO COME UP WITH SOME GREAT BLITZES TO GET PRESURE ON THE QB. I THINK THE LOSS LAST WEEK WILL FUEL THE ENERGY FOR THE COWBOYS AND THEY WILL BEAT THE FALCONS 24-17
