Are the Cowboys a top 5 team now?

[Silverstar]

Last year's SB teams (Patriots/Egirls) are both 3-2...just like us.

I think we are and if we beat the Giants...maybe top 3!

A top 5 team closes out games against Washington. We're good. And I think people will start to realize that now. If they dont they are ignorant. I still think its early to classify whos good and who isn't. Record wise, Washington was looking real good so far, but I have my suspiciouns they finnish 4th in the NFC East.

Indy is the only team I've seen play so far that has set themselves apart from anyone else.

The thing that makes a team great is the ability to come out and play well consistently. We have not yet passed that test.

This is the probably the best team we have had since 1996.

 

[Bizwah]

No.


We're waaay too inconsistent. I think we'll need to win next week at home against the Giants to really start to consider the NFC East a possibility.

Right now, we're trying to find our identity. I think we have the potential to be a very good team by the end of the year.

 

[SA_Gunslinger]

it's still just one win.....but if we repeat this against the nyg.....then i say yes.

 

[Tricked]

it's still too early to say anything like that.. we have another tough week against the giants next week..

 

[Cbz40]

Maybe we found that identity today......you never know. Now if we can beat the Giants next week......ummmmmmm

True, but if we beat the Giants at home...and we should after this game...I think we'll be one of the top teams in the leauge IMO.

:starspin

when we play like we did today, we're unstoppable... before we were playing waaaaaaaay too conservative.. yet today we came out and were extremely aggressive, and look at the results?

 

[Silverstar]

Bledsoe has 10 TD's and just 3 INT's in 159 attempts. He's throwing at almost a 62% clip right now. I think he's just getting warmed up.

Oh yeah, He also has a rushing TD.

I don't know........the Giants have been very impressive. They've also had an extra week to prepare for us.

It won't be easy.

I think if we play like we're capable of on defense, then we should beat them. I think our offense can stay with them.

 

[CactusCowboy]

No, but with so many young players, we should continue to get better.

 

[MichaelWinicki]

No way. String together a string say 4 wins and I think you'll have something.

 

[MarionBarberThe4th]

Werent we just the worst team a week ago and we needed to trade everythign for Matt Leinart?

 

[Mash]

We have a long ways to go before we crack the top 5 in the league.....we are improving....Bill may have seen the light and Bledsoe is playing better than I ever imagined.

Lets just continue to improve....there is still lots of things this team needs to work on.

 

[Dallas4ever]

Not so fast. Being a top 5 team in October means nothing. See me in December and we can talk.

 

[nathanlt]

Yeah, the first part of the season has been a roller coaster ride. This was by far their most dominating win. It shows them all what they are CAPABLE of. That can be a big boost of confidence for the rookies, and the rest of the team as well.
The game against San Diego gave the same high, and they should have won the next game, too. But they didn't. The consistency is probably not there yet, but it was very nice that their dominating performance came against the Eagles.

Hello Giants!!

 

[big_neil]

This is one of the best wins of Drews career. It reminded me of the 1996 playoff game (Steelers at Patriots), in the fog. Bledsoe opened with a bomb to Terry Glenn. Then another long TD (Martin rush) and they were ahead early and held it. I realized that Drew needed time to gel with this team. Look at the last 7 games with Buffalo - they were scoring 35 pts per game, setting all kinds of scoring records with Drew.

 

[Brave]

A view from the outside:

No, it's too early to say your a top 5 team at this point. But Dallas made a statement today that the rest of the league will pay attention to.

Put a few more weeks like this together (in the NFC) and you'll get all the accolades you could ever wish for.

 

[gbrittain]

No way. String together a string say 4 wins and I think you'll have something.

I second that.
