That is freaking scary. And to think that they got beat with that level of QB play. If Dak did that in the playoffs I would defend him to the death. But instead we get the QB slide to end the season. Good grief.

Allen didn’t really get “beaten.” Tie score at the end of regulation, and coin toss determined KC got the ball first in OT. Same thing happened to Mahomes 2 years earlier against Tom Brady and the Pats.

Everyone keeps saying how great Mahomes is and how he carries that team, but let's not sell Reid short, they guy is one of the best coaches in the NFL.
Funny how he was considered middle of the pack until he drafted the best QB in the NFL.

Except he took McNabb to the SB, and was above a .500 coach there before joining the Cheifs. Plus he was a winning coach there before Mahomes.

What's amazing is three of them are in the East, considered a very weak group of teams in preseason

Who was considered no more than an average to above average HC. Which is about what he is now.

After merely 5 weeks of play, there are only 6 teams remaining in the NFL with 1 or fewer losses:

5-0 Philadelphia Eagles
4-1 Buffalo Bills
4-1 Minnesota Vikings
3-1 Kansas City Chiefs
4-1 Dallas Cowboys
4-1 New York Giants

Of these 6 teams, only 2 of them were expected to be this good, this early in the season - Buffalo and Kansas City. The other 4 are all NFC teams that are playing better than expected. Even Philadelphia, who many expected to rise to the top of the NFC East this season, wasn’t expected to be undefeated 5 games into the season. The catch for the Eagles is that they still haven’t played either of the two teams nipping at their heels in the NFC east.

Next Sunday night will be a good test for both the Eagles and Cowboys. But neither can write off the Giants, who finally have a coach who knows how to put his players in situations where they can win.

The good news for the Cowboys is even if they lose Sunday, their offense is slated to get even better when 4 injured Cowboys offensive players return from injury - QB Dak Prescott, HOF LT Tyron Smith, HOF Olineman Jason Peters, and WR James Washington. If the Cowboys can return to their league leading offensive production from just a season ago, this team might become just as frightening in the NFC and the Bills team is in the AFC. Could a 3rd Super Bowl between the Cowboys and Bills be in the offing?

P.S. And even the Cowboys Defense, as good as it already is, could become even faster with the addition of speedy and talented rookie LB Damone Clark.
Gonna be a battle Sunday night

No, Buffalo is overrated and their QB is vastly overrated and will crumple like a lawn chair in the playoffs as per par. It will be Mahomes and the Chiefs.
I wouldn’t say Allen is overrated…..dude is a beast, I watch the bills a decent amount and dude is a baller.

I think we are lucky to have as many wins as we do, with our offensive not being that good and the Defense carrying the team. Some people here put that on Cooper, pointing to how we recently were the #1 Offense, but then that Game 1 was the low point of the year in offensive production. So who's your quarterback does not mean we will suddenly explode in offensive production like some people think. If you look at recent cowboys history, in the age of mediocrity, the team can go from a top offense one year and then be absolutely terrible the next year
