REASONS FOR OPTIMISM:

2.) Return of Felix Jones: Felix's return is almost as big as Romo's return in my opinion. In 4 of the 5 games the Cowboys have won this year, he's made significant contributions, and in many different ways (special teams, running, catching). Marion Barber will also get more rest now, which should greatly benefit the running game overall.

Hate to bust the bubble here, but do not count on Felix Jones this week. He has not practiced all week. Not even today.

Even though Wade Phillips says Jones is being held out "as a precautionary measure", Wednesday is the most important practice day of the week for the road team, and a rookie who has not played in a month being held out of a Wednesday practice is not a promising sign at all.

I doubt we will see Felix play this Sunday, and even if we do, it will be in a very limited role.
