One More Chance

I haven't been around for a while due to a new job and being busy with Christmas shopping, but I'm back to continue my extremely fascinating and captivating posts about America's Team.

Ok, where to begin... well, it hasn't been the best December for The 'Boys (yet again.) They lost to Pittsburgh, shockingly won against The Giants and then in an embarrassing fashion, they lost the final game in Texas Stadium to The Ravens.

After that Saturday night debacle against Baltimore, the chances of reaching the playoffs were looking pretty slim. Luckily, the next morning there was an early Christmas present left for Dallas as Tampa Bay lost to San Diego, and Philly lost to Washington. As it now stands, if The Cowboys win their final game in Philly, they will be in the playoffs, no ifs, ands or buts.

The Eagles are still praying for a playoff spot as well (they would need to win against Dallas and for a few teams to lose,) so they aren't going to be taking it easy on Sunday... not at all. There's nothing that Philly loves to do more than beat Dallas, especially under these circumstances.

It's going to be a week full of high anxiety. As the kids wait eagerly for Santa to show up on Thursday, I'll be waiting for Romo to show up on Sunday.

It will all come down to this one final game. In a season that ended up being much more different than early predictions, it's a miracle that there is still hope, and it will be an even bigger miracle if Dallas can pull it off.
