How good do we think the 2-0 Cowboys are?

It is way too early to tell.

The offense has all the weapons but will Moore continue to adjust as teams build a dossier of tendencies via film review?

Will Quinn add to the pass rush significantly?

Will Lawrence return to form? Byron?

Can we improve the interior pass rush?

Will the younger players develop and contribute, take the next step?

If the defense with an effective Quinn and with respect to Lawrence and Bryon returning to form, we should be able to compete with any team, time will tell.

No ....... It does no matter how much the fan base celebrate.

I hate these "everyone better calm down and concentrate on our next opponent" bullcrap.

We are a bunch of fans talking online to each other ...... We are not the team, we do not have to prepare for anything or keep ourselves from getting to excited.

Celebrate as much as you want people ....... These clowns who tell you different are just cowards who are scared to get disappointed.

JJT was on local Dallas ESPN this morning. Saying something like this, people saying yeah but they need to play this team yet.
Also talking about fans saying, what does Austin do, trade him, release him, what does this player do and why is this player on the team still.

He said, what can't fans just sit back and enjoy the game, enjoy the wins and that this team is good. Instead of harping on a player so much.

Right now I worry about the defense, but think they can get it together and dominate by the end of the season barring a few key injuries. The offense did what it was supposed to do against two struggling teams. We'll see when there's more tendencies on Moore's style to study, but I have a lot of hope for the current offense.

It’s being widely discussed with our two dominating offensive performances against two of our division rivals that we are one of the best teams in the league at this point.

How good are we? And can we really measure up with the opponents we’ve faced?

Are we as good or better than the 2-0 Rams? The 2-0 Packers, Seahawks or 49ers right now in NFC?

How about the 2-0 Patriots, Chiefs or Ravens?

I’d suggest we tone down the rhetoric until we beat someone with a winning record. We’re off to a good start. It’s been fun but I’d be careful becoming too full of ourselves just yet.

When asked last night where do the Cowboys rank in the NFC, are they there with the Rams as a top team.
Deion Sanders answered, they are very close, not quite there yet, but Dallas has improved and the Rams look a slight step back, so they are closing in.

I think we have the most talented roster in the league and we finally have a offensive playcaller that is playing chess and not checkers.

We're a top 5 team as of now.

1. Patriots

2. Chiefs (big holes defensively but Mahommes is best player in football)

3. Rams (Gotta show them respect. Well rounded team that ran all over us)

4. Cowboys (amazing offense with a lot of talent on defense that hasn't came together yet)

5. Ravens, Packers, Maybe i'm forgetting someone.

I still haven't seen us establish the run and dominate time of possession like we've done in our two most recent 13-3 seasons. Maybe we don't need to do that. Maybe our high flying passing attack is sustainable. But our defense doesn't look like it'll be able to slow down an elite offense. How will we look against the Chiefs? Would Dak be able to outthrow Mahomes? Or how would we fare against an elite defense? The Packers got shut down by the Bears last week and were still able to get the win at 7-6. Would our defense be able to step up if our offense struggled?

Not me!!!!!!!!!!!

For the first time since the 90's, I believe we have "it". I'm stompin' the accelerator!!!!!
Then you’re setting yourself up for a fall . Then looking for scapegoats to explain what happened.

I see the improvements but it’s difficult to gauge if it’s enough against lesser opponents.

I think this team is visibly better than a year ago, and that team lost by 8 points to the NFC Champion rams in the playoffs. We will see how they do, but I cant think of any matchup that I would feel hopeless about.

No excuses for jason Garrett this year.

Well if we have to look at KC to see how we will do against them, that means we will be playing in the SB against them. :D

I don't operate that way.

I don't think it's difficult at all. I see it as blatantly easy. This O scheme is so much better than Linny. I mean, it's not even close. Moore is using Dak's best assets instead of insisting on Dak fitting into his schemes.

WASH and NYG are both mediocre teams, not terrible teams.

I need more evidence against some of these contenders.

I said heading into the season that I felt this team is legit and can compete for a title, they have done nothing to change my mind. Biggest problems I have seen in the past is how this team would continue to shot themselves in the foot with stupid mistake. These past 2 weeks yes lesser teams yet in recent times Dallas would make enough mistakes to ensure these game would be nail biters. I fully expect harder games and seriously doubt a they will have a perfect 16-0 mark but I think this team has the talent and ability to challenge for a title

I believe we can beat any team with the talent we have however in reality it's to early to say as we have played two average/ below average teams.

Offense: A+ so far
Looks sharp and a 180 of last year.
We have one of the best OL, RB, recieving corps in football. I will hold my judgment on Dak as the oline has given him unreal time to hold the ball thus far. Still throws behind wide open receivers WAY to often.

Defense:
Run defense since the rams game last year is non existent.
Turnovers? Turnovers? Turnovers?

Now going into the playoffs:
1. Jason Garret
2. How we make adjustments mid game

WE rush for 111 but we're not going to be stubborn with the run game this year so I don't know if you'll ever feel like we established it to the extent we have in the past.

It's simple.. IF the defense is cheating Kellen will make them pay and the receivers will go off.

We're not going to be a stubborn run at all costs team anymore.

We'll run if they give it to us and if they cheat we will make them pay.

Seattle maybe?
And SF and Buffalo are both 2-0. :muttley:
