The Dallas Cowboys 40th Annual Thanksgiving Day Classic

Trash Dispatch: Dallas Cowboys Football, November 22, 2007, Thanksgiving Day!

GAME SET
WHAT: New York Jets (2-8) at Dallas Cowboys (9-1)
WHEN: Thursday, 3:15 p.m. (CST)
WHERE: Texas Stadium, Irving, Texas
TELEVISION: CBS (Jim Nantz and Phil Simms)

BIG ISSUE: The road to winning their first NFC East title since 1998 doesn’t get any easier for the Cowboys, even after dispatching all three division opponents in a row. Now, with a shortened week, they have to face a 2-8 Jets team coming off that upset of the Steelers in Week 11 and playing with nothing to lose. The Cowboys must not take the Jets lightly on Thanksgiving Day, or else their turkey will get roasted.

Well, Zack! You are exactly right!

How many times, have we seen teams in the past underestimate the ability of a team like the New York Jets, a team with Nothing to lose, upset a supposedly invincible team like the Dallas Cowboys for no other reason than “complacency”.

I mean lets face it. The Cowboys, while “dispatching” the New York Giants, almost didn’t. In fact, it was a game that produced a lot of Bald-headed guys, and Gals, as they had pulled their hair out.

So just what should we expect in the 40th annual Dallas Cowboy Thanksgiving Day massacre of the New York Jets?

Typically, the Dallas Cowboys OWN Thanksgiving Day. A with a Thanksgiving Day record of 24-14-1, there no reason to believe Dallas Cowboy fans should expect anything less, than Total Blow-out! But then again… ?
