The Super Bowl dreams haven't yet died in Dallas.  Cowboys WR Roy Williams said Thursday that he's still hopeful that his 1-6 team can rally for a playoff spot -- and more.  "We can (win) nine in a row, if you ask me," Williams said, via ESPN. "People can call me stupid or whatever, but this football team has the core of players, it has the supporting cast of players to win nine in row. We just got to get it started just for other players to be like, 'All right, we got it now.' "  The Cowboys have slumped to their worst start since 1989 after a summer in which many analysts projected them as a potential Super Bowl contender. The loss of QB Tony Romo to a broken clavicle in Week 7, then a blowout 35-17 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars last Sunday have compounded their problems and brought intense scrutiny on coach Wade Phillips.  The Cowboys travel to Green Bay on Sunday night.  Williams said he still has great faith in the Cowboys. And he hasn't written off the potential that they could be the first home team to play in a Super Bowl in February.  "It would be a great storybook ending," Williams said. "It would be awesome. I don't know if they'd put us in the Hall of Fame for that if this [team] was going to go on and win the Super Bowl, but it's a tough feat to cross. But if there is any team in the league that can do it, it's the Dallas Cowboys."  (Williams was the second player on a losing team -- joining Minnesota Vikings QB Brett Favre -- in as many days to suggest a potential "storybook ending.")
