I have no idea what this team is 7 games into the season. at 3-3-1, they sound average. the offense is historically good. the defense if it shows up at average then opponents really don't have much chance. but its that they tend to just go into the abyss at times and if we don't literally score every possession, we lose the game.

I can't see us beating denver on the road, on grass since we are not a good grass team to begin with and on the road....Washington was missing three WRs. they were hampered. Denver's offense is not like washington. they will run. they can pass and given its cowboys defense, its 4 downs to get a 1st down.

An 8-8-1 team most likely, give or take a game.

Yeah.. who knows.. certainly not me.

Enjoy the win against our biggest rival.. and whatever happens next week happens I guess.

I'm just taking it one game at a time.
 
Offense has to put up 40+ to relax a little. Defense made a big jump on a few levels (more man, more blitz, better asignment sound football at both DL and LB. James took another step towards Sanford riding pine and getting into his right roll as a backup. EZ finally hit pay dirt. Eberflus changed to preserve his job and went back to what our DBs were drafted to do. Don't get too exited, but we're back to .500, took second place back in the division, and the Giants lost to a last second field goal. Great day, boys! LFG Cowboys! :flagwave:
 
This is kind of what the NFL wants. Parity. Dallas loses to Carolina and just beat the crap out of a team that went to the NFC Championship last year.

Yes, I know Washington was shorthanded offensively, but the Cowboys still stopped the run (not counting QB scrambles), got four sacks, and actually two turnovers.
 
It's kind of telling that Trikweze Bridges played a ton of snaps today in place of Diggs and was there was no noticeable dropoff.

Yes, Washington was down to practice squad receivers, but Bridges is a 7th round rookie that was cut by the team that drafted him (Chargers).
