Maybe that imaginary bar does not exist as you say. However, the bar is higher than .500 at midseason.

I am sorry but too many people are making excuses for this Cowboy team in the name of parity. Parity has nothing to with not winning a playoff game since 1996. Parity has nothing to do with Parcells being a .500 coach 3 1/2 years into his tenure.

I am in no way conceding the season, but this team is not quite right and that is obvious. They can turn it around, but saying it and doing it are two different things.

Nah, I'm not saying it's not disappointing, but I think people need to be more realistic. Most fans of teams in this league are crying for the same thing we are. There aren't many teams in the driver's seat, not even many teams comfortably above .500, especially in the NFC.

Romo should have been starting from week one.

As far as the defense.... tough one there, not sure how we're going to fix it in time.
