None that I can see. If Taylor were playing they might have a chance, but we saw last week that without him, they give up big plays and that was against a QB who couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat and who has no real deep threat. Even if we somehow contain Owen and Whitten and Crayton and Hurd, Barbour will probably shred us because there will be no enforcer to get him on the ground before he moves the chains.

Defensively, Dallas brings pressure in an unpredictable way so I would expect Fabini and Wade to struggle the way they did against N.E. Campbell will be hurried and we have seen what that leads to. In addition, we haven't really played very well in Dallas when the odds were less daunting.

If there is a faint glimmer of hope it is that Romo would have a game like he did against Buffalo, but I'm not sure he has 5 ints left in him the rest of the regular season, nonetheless in one game. In short, we need to have a lot of good fortune, but I wouldn't really put that in the rational category. The purely rational thing to do at this point is to find something else to do on Sunday or to root for another team.
