Give me results, not hype. As long as we keep emphasizing the run the results will be positive. We know we can rely on Dak and the receivers to carry the offense if need be. But having our run game flourishing the way it has, is what I want to see. Balance. Balance slows down the opposing pass rush and cuts down on our offensive mistakes.

They came out throwing, Dak had two early interceptions. The went run heavy after that and everything started clicking. Keep running, keep winning. Go Dallas.

It feels great! Reminds me of the good 'ole days of the Cowboys when they were in it every game and every season....you never counted them out...It's an awesome feeling....I hope it continues....

Maybe because its only the 5th game of a 17 game season? There's still 12 games to play and a ton of stuff could happen between now and January.

The last 25 years is the reason why many of us feel that its best to just take things one game at a time.

So you want all of us optimistic fans to shut up and finally let it out after we win the SB? That would be fun but what's even MORE fun is having fun along the ride. If you pessimists don't want to have fun and enjoy the ride that's fine, just don't try to bring us down because we want to have fun. ;)

How can you not be loving this as a cowboy fan. Yes we are for real. Yes we will lose some football games. Yes this is the most fun I’ve had in a while. I’m enjoying it. Go cowboys Love me some defense
I treat every year as a journey.
What else should we do? Just be miserable until the Championship game that might be coming?

I enjoy football and I enjoy watching the team I root for win.
Watching them beat the Giants is fun and I enjoy it, not scowl and be like: Like they've won anything.

They did!

They just beat a rival! Enjoy that! They put a hurting on the Eagles! I love that! They're 4-1! I'll take it to this point!

The SB, or Bust guys are sad to me, but I'm not going to sweat them. Let them do what they do.
I'm glad that football is still being played and I get to watch it and my team is winning right now which makes it all the more enjoyable.

Where they end up this year?
That's the intrigue. It may well end up in disappointment (odds are high) and yet it's the Journey that gets you there.

Now I'm off to listen to some Journey.

More depth all around. Not 1 RB but 2. D is better. 2016 didn't have the celling of this team or the coaching!

Yeah, I feel a bit better this time around than 2016.

Dak's not a rookie anymore and the coaching is better. In 2016 I always had a sneaking feeling the other shoe was going to drop. I have less of that now.

We have had 3 great runs over the past couple decades and all have ended with heartbreaking early playoff losses...

2007....blew it to the giants

2013....blew it to the Packers

2016....blew it to the Packers again.

I want to see 2 playoff wins this year, 3 or 4 would be incredible...but I am enjoying the ride in an incredible way!
