Ouch. That Dallas loss last week hurt. It doesn't get much more boneheaded than that for Drew Bledsoe. The good news is that they played Seattle VERY tough on the road. Seattle is an excellent team, especially at home and holding them to 13 points there is something to be very proud of. Dallas has now held it's last three opponents under two touchdowns each and these teams are not offensive weaklings. Besides Seattle, they faced Philadelphia and the Giants. If it weren't for last week's gaffe, the late collapse against Washington, and a very close loss to Oakland, Dallas would be 7-0 right now. I know - what if. But, the point is that they are about a half-dozen plays away from an undefeated record. They are a very good team. Same can't be said about Arizona. They won last week but that's entirely due to three Tenessee turnovers. Against the three good teams they've played this year (NYG, SEA, CAR), the Cardinals have surrendered 34 points per game. Their only win outside of last week's was against San Francisco - the doormat of the league. Zona can't run the ball (71 yards per game) and that spells loads of trouble this week against Dallas' defense which is ranked 7th in the league. You can bet Parcells will have his team working overtime this week after that frustrating loss. Gotta love Parcells in division games anyway. Three stars on Dallas to cover as they dominate on both sides of the ball.
