Their is a clear edge in three areas for the 09 team..

One...The Cowboys of 09 have a one game lead on last years 9-7 team..On game last season would have been the difference in making and missing the playoffs..

Two...The Cowboys of 09 are a statistally better team than last season..They are healthier,scoring a little more,giving up a lot less and have one of the best special teams in the league..

Three...The Cowboys of 09 have a one game lead in the division..The 08 version was three games behind the NYG and were playing for a wild card berth..This team is playing for a division title and a home game in the playoffs..

Go Cowboys..
