Seattle is a slightly above average team.

You think the Rams are a good team?

I think the OP meant "1-4 against the upper echelon teams, the group of 7 or 8 teams from which you expect the AFC and NFC championship games to come from.

We've played 5 games of that caliber of teams....and lost 4.

Nobody does, has, or ever thought the Seahawks or Rams would be contenders at any point of the season or offseason this year.
The Rams will smoke your Eagles by two touchdowns

What does worry me is the game with Detroit. Surprising I know, but Detroit is actually a good team on the road unlike us. I would pick them to win if we played in Detroit but I don't know here. We've been unbeatable at home, but we almost lost to Seattle in Detroit is better than Seattle especially on the road. That game is a tossup.
Dallas is awfully tough at home.

Back-to-back road games are tough on a team, even if they do play well on the road like the Lions do.

I can't see a Campbell led team letting up for any game.

It is what it is. The Cowboys are not real contenders.
We’re the only good team you guys beat, and you’re the only good team Miami beat. This year is turning into a big cluster fest, but at least we’re going down together.


Right guys?

I agree we played awful. I don't understand it. It's certainly an enigma and just a part of being a fan of this team. It seems like we always get set up for disappointment after a highly successful earlier years.
The Rams could beat us, Philadelphia and Detroit in the playoffs. So I think we are on the same page.

It's not so much good teams, it's teams that aren't afraid of the Cowboys that give them trouble. Arizona is not good at all but they played bully ball against Dallas.

I'm a Cowboys fan.

Also...the eagles already played the Rams...and beat them easily.

LOL. There's this thing called "Google"...try it

Eagles didn't "easily" beat the Rams. The game was within reach for the Rams going into the 4th quarter. Since the score was 17-14 in favor of the Eagles. And they Eagles just got 2 FGs in the fourth to make the score 23-14. Wouldn't consider that an "easy" win.

Okay, so maybe we are not that good. You want to stop watching? What's the point?
The point is stop being whiny when people are critical of the team. Because guess what? They are right.

This team is never good enough. Good, yes, good enough? Never.

You know, the schedule has something to do with that. Dallas had to play Buffalo, Miami, and San Fransisco away. The Eagles get to play all 3 at home. That makes a difference. It's just how things worked out this year. Dallas just doesn't score a lot of points away.
Eagles got SF and Dallas coming off 10 days rest.

It is what it is. The Cowboys are not real contenders.
And all four of those losses are on the road, where it is tough to win against teams that are your equal. On the road, Philadelphia has lost to us and Seattle and edged Kansas City. Their other games against contenders (Buffalo and Miami) have been at home, except San Fran, while we've only played Philly and Seattle at home. Detroit will be a good test of that theory.

However, it doesn't matter, unless Philly loses to the Giants or Cardinals while we don't lose any more games, our path through the playoffs is on the road. And ultimately, we'd probably have to go to San Fran anyway.

We’re 0-4 against good teams on the road. We’re average at best on the road.
And it's tough to beat other contending teams on the road. Everything has to go right and it clearly hasn't. I'm just glad that this one was better than that showings in Buffalo and San Francisco.
