Are the Cowboys tired or over-rated?

I know the game ain't over, but it might as well be. I voted for both. I think their division is weak this year, and I also think they might have done a little better with a longer rest.

1. The Cowboys aren't overrated IMO

I cannot give much credence to the fatigue factor. Dallas was at home last week versus Carolina. Miami had a Sunday night game that got over around Midnight. If anybody had reason to be tired, it was Miami.

I don't think Dallas is necessarily overrated. Miami just has a great defense, while Dallas' defense had an off day. I will say that had they beaten Miami or New England, I would be more confident about their playoff chances. If they can win next week in Philadelphia, this game will probably be written off as an abberation.

3. Who did Miami play--I think Dallas' game against Carolina probably

drained them emotionally, so I see them as emotionally tired as well.

Did Miami have a tough time last Sunday?

4. Yes

They played Washington. I know the Redskins aren't very good, but Miami had to fight tooth and nail to beat them. The Dolphins overcame a 13 point deficit in the 4th Quarter to win.

6. I agree

The defense, after a draining game agaisnt the Panthers, was just asked to do too much. The Dolphins came out with a good plan, executed it well, and then the Cowboy's had a series of turnovers. Its hard to beat a team as good as the Dolphins with 5 turnovers.

2. Cowboys?

They have a team other than the Cheerleaders? I've never noticed!

5. Guess between the Cheerleaders and the five Super Bowl trophies

the team's pretty easy to miss.
