http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/gsemenza/5228 While I'm a bit nervous going into Sunday's game against the Patriots -- to the point I'm already coming to terms with our potential first loss of the season -- we have enough talent to pull off an upset. TOP 5 REASONS WE'LL BEAT THE PATRIOTS 1) We're playing in Big D. 2) Coming off an emotional win, the team's flying high and confident. 3) Our defense has allowed fewer points in each of its games this year. The fellas are learning to play in Wade Phillips' 3-4 scheme. 4) T.O. has been shut down the last two games. He's due for a big one. 5) Tony Romo is a competitor. It's in his nature to come back big after having had his worst outing as a professional like he did on Monday. TOP 5 REASONS WE'LL LOSE TO THE PATRIOTS Since I can't offer a list here, given my allegiance to the Cowboys, I went to fellow reporter Bj Lewis, who is a Denver Broncos fan. Here is Bj's take on why the Boys will lose: 1) Bill Belichick 2) Tom Brady 3) Randy Moss. Bj said, "God is a Patriots fan." 4) Dallas is coming off an emotional win, and the team has a short week to prepare for the Patriots. 5) "Because the Cowboys suck," Bj said.

As far as BJ: 1. Belichick isn't on the field. 2. I'll have to agree with Brady. 3. The hole in Texas Stadium's roof is so God can watch the game and root for the Cowboys. 4. Dallas may be coming off a short week, but the Pats have to travel. 5. Not. What is Denver's record? http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/gsemenza/5228/#c_19539 http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/gsemenza/5228/#c_19539 Gabe, I agree with your points.

I don't know if God is a Pats fan, but I know he hates the Bills. http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/gsemenza/5228/#c_19542 http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/gsemenza/5228/#c_19542 I don't know if God is a Pats fan, but I know he hates the Bills. As I have said to Gabe on many occasions, the Broncos are simply lulling the AFC and the rest of the NFL into a false sense of security so when we run the table and crush all comers in the Super Bowl it will be that much sweeter a victory. http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/gsemenza/5228/#c_19545 http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/gsemenza/5228/#c_19545 As I have said to Gabe on many occasions, the Broncos are simply lulling the AFC and the rest of the NFL into a false sense of security so when we run the table and crush all comers in the Super Bowl it will be that much sweeter a victory. Bj, That's excellent strategery. I wonder why no one else thought about this? http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/gsemenza/5228/#c_19555 http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/gsemenza/5228/#c_19555 Bj, That's excellent strategery. I wonder why no one else thought about this? Actually, the Rams and Saints are using the strategy in the NFC, too. At 0-5, no one is taking them seriously. Brilliant! http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/gsemenza/5228/#c_19557 http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/gsemenza/5228/#c_19557 Actually, the Rams and Saints are using the strategy in the NFC, too.

Belichek may not be on the field, but his scheme is.  I'm not sure if the Cowboys are a complete match to the Pats talent-wise, but I feel they are close.  When the talent matches that closely, I belive coaching can make the difference. In that case, the nod goes to the Pats. http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/gsemenza/5228/#c_19586 http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/gsemenza/5228/#c_19586 Belichek may not be on the field, but his scheme is.  I'm not sure if the Cowboys are a complete match to the Pats talent-wise, but I feel they are close.  When the talent matches that closely, I belive coaching can make the difference.
