They havent given up 20 points yet this year

All three games they gave up fewer than 200 yards passing. Brady went over 200 yards (Burrow and Jones didnt), but the Bucs finished below the 200 yard line with because of sacks (Brady had 212 passing yards with 17 lost to sacks)
And it's been said they lead the league in sacks. Those are some elite looking stats.

I know it will be boring but the Cowboys need to go full ball control on offense. Run the football and keep the defense fresh. For the 3rd game in the row the offense goes three in out on the first drive in the third quarter and the defense gets worn down. Ball control does not mean run Zeke into a wall. How about a short pass to the wide receiver or tight end to get us a second and short. My only complaint about KM play calls this season.

and we’ve played 2 good offenses in Bucs and Bengals

I think they can have a lot of success against Rams but Philly will be tough. Good OL and run game, Running QB and great WRs and TE. That will be tough

Im not a believer just yet and both Cincinnati and tampa are on the bottom half offensively. I think the point is we are still relatively early but yes Philly is better than years past and we appear really good defensively but lets tap the breaks on Philly

Eagles and Hurts in particular are going to be fascinating this season. He looks like a much better passer than last year, and he is very dangerous with his legs. Their WR corps is very strong. Smith is playing like a legit #1 caliber WR, and Brown has been worth the price. Watkins is a very dangerous #3. Then there is Goedert

I’m not talking about who they beat, I’m talking about their players and scheme

you saw how Daniel Jones ran up the middle for multiple first downs because or DTs are a hot mess? Well now think of a team with a better OL, better weapons to create space and a better running QB. Try to think objectively rather than hate on the opponent

Hoping they continue to improve. Hoping the turnovers start coming in droves again this season. Keep the sacks and pressures coming too.

I edited my post some but the cowboys have always had problems with mobile QBs in fact lots of teams do. Im not worried about the eagles just yet but yes their line is better than what weve played
