00:00 The Dallas Cowboys are entering one of the toughest stretches of their season.
00:04 Thursday night, they will face the Seattle Seahawks.
00:07 What do you think is the key to victory for the Cowboys on this one?
00:10 Yeah, it's almost December. It's a winter gauntlet.
00:15 It is. Because then you know that the Eagles are next.
00:18 Right. And again, this is a stretch of five teams that are all contender-ish.
00:23 Yeah. Now, we just saw over the course of the Thanksgiving weekend
00:26 the ups and downs that even the good teams have.
00:30 Detroit somehow lost at home to a very mediocre Green Bay team as just one example.
00:36 Seattle has lost two straight. As good a program as that is under Pete Carroll.
00:40 And of course, the Cowboys' plan is to have them lose three straight.
00:45 The travel is an issue, as we discussed a great deal when it comes to the Thanksgiving thing.
00:49 If you're going to play a cluster of games, have a big turkey sandwich at this time of year.
00:53 Better to be at home. And the Cowboys are that.
00:56 Back-to-back Thursday games, though, is definitely a challenge.
00:58 Definitely. Now, your reward for the Cowboys is you get done Thursday,
01:02 and now you've got a 10-day window to prepare for yet another game of the year.
01:07 And we say this respectfully to the Eagles and to Philadelphia fans.
01:14 The Eagles are so good. No, not lucky. Good.
01:19 Not any more lucky than any other good team is. If you're 10-1, you're lucky and good.
01:22 Right. That's how the NFL works.
01:24 Right. The Cowboys were 8-3, and they've been lucky and good.
01:28 Although Cowboy fans vehemently disagree. You have earned your way to 10-1.
01:34 The Cowboys will be glad, though, that they have a 10-day window now to not only heal up,
01:39 but also to prepare game plan-wise. So there's an advantage to be had, in a sense,
01:45 Philadelphia coming here. But first, take care of business.
01:48 And as the Cowboys like to say now, Dan Quinn and Dak Prescott leading this charge,
01:53 let's just run our race. Let's just stay in our lane.
01:56 Because the numbers do not suggest you're catching Philadelphia. Not yet, anyway.
02:01 Yeah, we'll see how that all plays out.
