The one thing we've done is really set ourselves up well for the stretch run, as the line and running game have shown tremendous improvement as the season has progressed. We're still not breaking off many long gains or any big plays but we're getting there. We'll have to protect Campbell, maybe we can slip Portis behind Ware for some screens.

Taylor will be missed, he's a Pro Bowl caliber safety and once he went out the big plays returned. I think with a week of practice Prioleau and Doughty can do a serviceable job of eliminating the big play. If we can be physical, we can win. If Marcus comes back this week that will be a HUGE lift, Godfrey has been doing yeoman's work but getting hit in the hands and not coming up with the turnover is killing us because it lets the offense off the hook and we lose the momentum swing.

Its set up for us to win, because at 8-1 the Cowboys are going to be the fat cats and may overlook us. All in all, I like our chances.
