that said, i think this game 1. made the broncos look better than they are, and 2. made the cowboys look worse than they are.

denver doesn't lose at home early in the season. just a fact.
cowboys lost half of their already thin and inexperienced secondary.
cowboys were completely unprepared for the altitude which obviously had a large effect on them

make no mistake, i can't remember a bigger destruction of the cowboys since 44-6. but i still think they're easily the best team in the nfc east and will make the playoffs by a comfortable margin. i'd be more worried about the broncos in that division than the cowboys in theirs, even after this game.
