This team can't compete with the big dogs

You beat who's in front of you. We've beaten teams with some major injuries, but yes, we have had some sloppy games. The NFL works like this, though.

What odd logic. I just don't understand some fans. We have a losing season and we need to win. We finally start winning and then we aren't winning pretty enough.

It's the NFL and today was a division game. Those usually are slugfests. Yeah, we looked a little off today but we still won. That's what good teams do. A win is a win is a win.

You might be right. Only contender we’ve played is the Bucs and we lost. And not only did we lose, but we were probably the better team. We might be the best team in the league this year. But we’ve yet to prove we can consistently beat elite teams. Time will tell.

I'm talking Browns, Cardinals, Bucs, Ravens, Packers, Bills, etc.

Today's game was extremely sloppy. There were a lot of good, splash plays to make up for it, however, today's game is a cause for concern. We went up against a potential bottom 5 team in the league and struggled for a good bit of the game.

Prior to the injuries of Saquon and Danny Dimes, we were in serious trouble. Defense was allowing a lot of big plays and conversions, and offense made CONSTANT mistakes. Balls being batted down and caught for interceptions, fumbles, high or low snaps, dumb playcalls, poor pass blocking, dropping passes, etc. I know they are divison rivals, however, that is not an excuse. We should have DOMINATED from beginning to end. Even with Saquon and Daniel Jones in. With them in, I'm sure this game would've been a lot closer, which brings me to my next point. We did the same thing against the Panthers, and even the Eagles for about 3 minutes before we dominated. We honestly did better in the Tampa game than any other game despite losing.

Chargers game was given to us. I believe the refs really helped us out and took 2 TD's off the board (some of the calls were iffy). We were truly dominated in that game, but were lucky enough to win.

I just don't know if we are ready to be a contending team. To win the NFC East? Yeah. The conference? No. We have some tough games ahead (Chiefs, Broncos, Raiders, Cards way down, Vikings). Even NE with a smart Belichick is a big concern. We cannot come out sloppy against offensive powerhouse teams or well coached teams or we will LOSE. These sloppy starts minus the Chargers game have got to STOP. Mistakes like these come back to bite. I found myself digusted looking at the offense continously shoot itself in the foot today. We have the talent, so what's the problem?! The Center is a large looming issue going forward. The snaps and pass blocking need to be severely improved. Dak is playing well, but some of his mistakes need to be fixed. I think his mental game is a little off due to his injury last year and he does not want to admit this. I am not upset at this, I just hope he can overcome this aspect of the game.

Despite all of this, I see we have strong potential on all cylinders of the game, and we are talented in almost every position. It's just a matter of playing to our full potential, which seems easier said than done with this team. I just hope we can be firing on all cylinders come December and onward.

Go Cowboys.

It was a sloppy start, but the idea this team can't compete with other good teams is ridiculous. They've proven that against some other good teams. Bottom line you pull away when it matters and rarely does any one team dominate from start to finish every week.

Take the bucs who led 24-17 when the 4th quarter started and ended up scoring 21 in the 4th quarter against the Dolphins today. It looks like a blowout, but did they really dominant from start to finish? Heck even the dominant Cowbots of the 90s didn't dominant every game from start to finish.

I don’t agree. They should have beaten Tampa. This looks like a good team that will get better when Lawrence and Gallimore get out there.

The real season starts next week in NE.
This season so far reminds me of 2019 when we started 3-0 and were once again SB bound.
The following 6 weeks will tell the tale of who we truly are and how high we can fly.

You mean like how the Bills got beat by a bad Pittsburgh team? Or how the Packers got destroyed by an average at best New Orleans team? The Browns just gave up 40+ to a team we beat on their field and they’ve lost 2 games. The Bucs got manhandled by the Rams, who got beaten badly by the Cardinals. Arizona is the only team with a better record than we have. Put your big girl panties on.

No offense but you’re a clown. We beat the chargers in LA and tbh, look like the most complete overall TEAM in the NFL. We just won a hard fought division game by 24 points even though we didn’t play well. This is the NFL- wins are hard to come by so when you can not play your best and still win by 24, you take it and move on, not cry about it and turn into a chicken little. Don’t take it the wrong way, nothing personal…

I will say this...if we are going to be this gambling on 4th down type team, I will need to see more efficiency out of #4. There are some teams that won't let you bounce back from a boneheaded play.

Nothing wrong with having this opinion and want to be perfect. My personal expectations are lower.
Last season we finished 6-10.

In my opinion, if we at least go to the NFC championship, I will be happy. Disappointed, but I won't be patching drywall like some fans here.
It's not a matter of wanting perfection. It's question of what is realistically perfection. This is NFL. How many games does the other team score zero points. That would be perfection. How many QBs don't throw an interception all season? That's perfection. How many teams never give up a big play? That's perfection

None of those happen in the NFL. There is a difference between being realistic and wanting a perfect game.

We win. 44-20. That's perfect. They don't give style points in NFL. We had a great game against Tampa, and we lost.no style points.
