I just got word off The Dallas Morning News Cowboys Blog that Doug Free will start at tackle to replace Marco Colombo. Cory Proctor would have wrecked the season. If Free plays well enough to hold the spot, the Cowboys should be able to win the NFC East.
Admittedly I panicked on the game day post. But I remembered last year. The coaching staff could not figure out that Proctor could not block at guard and didn't pull him until the third quarter of the debacle in Philly. Granted Proctor blocked well replacing Gurode at center vs. Atlanta, but i saw what happened at guard last year. Keep him at backup center only.
I now believe the team will get to 11-5. Maybe they can eek out 12-4. You have to remember that there are 4 division games left. No matter how horrible the Giants, Eagles and Redskins look in the rest of their games, they always come to play against Dallas. The Boys can beat all these teams if they apply themselves. They have a chance against a fading Saints team that is playing a week schedule. The Chargers may be a different story, but don't count out Dallas in this one. If they lose to Oakland December 21, 2012 will come early.
