One of the benefits for the Dallas Cowboys of sneaking past
a good Giants squad on opening day is a prime opportunity to enter the season’s
second month with a good head of steam.
Few thought it even a remote possibility a week ago, but the Cowboys
could very well embark upon October with an unbeaten record.
With Seattle starting rookie quarterback Russell Wilson, who couldn’t even beat a suspect Arizona team with four second-half timeouts, the Cowboys will be heavily favored for this weekend’s game in the great northwest. And then a week from Sunday Dallas returns to open their home slate of game against another offensively-challenged team, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The toss-up game will be Dallas’ only Monday Night Football appearance
of 2012 when Julius Peppers and the Chicago Bears come to Cowboys Stadium for
an early season inter-conference battle that will test the Cowboys in a similar
manner as the Giants did. The Bears
boast a tenacious pass-rush that will challenge the Cowboys’ makeshift
offensive line, and make another sharp outing from Tony Romo imperative for
victory.

The Cowboys haven’t started a season 4-0 since 2007 when
they finished 13-3 and entered the playoffs as the conference’s top seed. Though the latter number may be putting the
cart before the horse, an undeniable opportunity is knocking for Dallas to make the former
an unexpected reality.
