The Warmup: Cowboys vs Packers

Don’t look now, but the Dallas Cowboys have now played half their 2009 season and are clearly in the driver’s seat for the NFC East after a bruising victory Sunday night over dreaded nemesis Philadelphia. It doesn’t get any easier though, as this Sunday, the Cowboys travel a bit further north to (with a Berman”esque” voice) Lammmbeauuuu Field to take on Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers.

For the first time in probably seven, eight years I am drinking the #4 colored/Favre flavored Kool-Aid that was made in Mississippi. And if you have read my blog earlier this season on the media’s worshipfulness of this NFL icon, you might have been able to determine that I was tired of him; yes I was sick of his antics, his legacy, etc. But I realized, after he wore J-E-T-S green last year and then wore Purple & Gold this year, that I have rediscovered a long lost appreciation for just what he is.

Brett Favre means EVERYTHING to the game. Agree? Disagree? I do, so please humor me…

It was a tense night in Lambeau Field for Cowboys fans until early in the 4th quarter when a 50+ yard touchdown throw to Miles Austin put Dallas out of reach. The score was then padded by more than two touchdowns, but that’s what it took to put Cowboys fans at ease after a sub par performance from Tony Romo and the complete disappearance of Terrell Owens.

As the season draws to a close, it’s hard to deny that the Cowboys are the real deal, especially after soundly defeating the Packers. So let’s take a look at what that road could look like for America’s Team, and who poses the greatest threat to a Cowboys Super Bowl appearance.

The Boys have already wrapped up the division and home field advantage throughout the playoffs. Green Bay, Seattle, and Tampa Bay have clinched their divisions. The Giants are guaranteed a Wildcard spot. The remaining Wildcard could be Minnesota, New Orleans, or Washington.
