[Pre-Super Bowl Matchup this Sunday?]

Tony Romo has played with fractured bones in his spine this season.

 

He gets a pain injection before every game so that he can play. Not a little shot in the arm, either. It's very detrimental to his long term health.

 

He wants it more than anyone.

Make no mistake about it---No one is questioning his toughness. What I'm alluding to is purely mental fortitude. Again, I hope this is something I have to eat crow about later on.

But for now...

[Pre-Super Bowl Matchup this Sunday?]

I don't think I've saw 1 intelligent post on this thread yet.  How is it impossible, if they're both in the playoffs?  Granted theres 2 games left in the regular season, so nobody really knows.  Brady, Manning, Wilson/Lynch, Rodgers, or any key player could go on IR next before the playoffs start, pretty much ruining a chance for a Super Bowl.  I don't get why people are so high on Green Bay and Seattle also.  Seattle didn't look very good until recently, and they haven't been playing "great" teams either!  Colts have been streaking against bad teams also, but they aren't given the justification.  Green Bay isn't even winning their division either, and they just lost to the Bills.  Yes, I know the Bills aren't horrible this year, but they're not a playoff team either. 

 

It's funny how people use justifications strictly because of history also.  Just because Green Bay and Seattle has been good the past couple of seasons, doesn't entitle them to be labled there this season.  I think Detriot and Dallas is everybit as good as the other top teams in the NFC.  Same with Indy!!  We are merely solid O line play away from a SB team.  I don't see that happening, but I also didn't think the year we won the SB we would defend the run that well after being one of the worst teams in the league during the regular season.

I tend to agree, but more for your team than my beloved Cowboys. You guys are every bit the good team this year, as well as last year. Us? We over-achieved this year and still haven't seen the post-season just yet. Every level-headed, longtime Cowboys fan well tell you that there IS something different about the team's mental tenacity this year. And we're pleasantly surprised.

 

But here's the rub.

 

Luck has a natural killer's instinct. He BELIEVES he should impose his will on opponents. Romo? Not so much. Don't get me wrong. Romo, when not doing his best Favre imitation is really good. But I don't see that fire in his eyes that I believe is necessary for championship QB's without a top 5 defense. (See Trent Dilfer) All I can say is that I hope I end up eating crow for this one in regard to us. LOL

 

Here's to an injury-free game. GO BOYS!!!

[The Colts will beat the Cowboys thread.]

Cowboys fan here. Lurked around for a bit and I must say this is a classy board.

 

That said, I fully expect Luck to shred our defense. I can only hope that our offense can keep pace. Add to the fact that for some reason we are less than stellar in our own stadium and you know we're nervous. SMH.

Here's to a good, injury-free game.
