It just seems this week that the annointing oil is being applied on thick by the media, by the fans. I realize that it has been a long time since we've looked this good. But, oh man, the season is only at the halfway point. There is still a lot of football left. Why is everybody acting like this team's success is a done deal?

Somebody help me here. Am I overreacting?
Yes VDInfector, you are overreacting. Just sit back and enjoy the ride dude. It's been a long time since we could get this excited about our 'boys. :p:

I think most are just excited to have a quality football team once again. No doubt this team still has a lot of test ahead of them

from here on out EVERY game will be a "trap" game and every game has the potential to trip us up.

Are we looking ahead? I think some fans are, but I think the team is very much focused on this Commanders game because of the importance of a win.

A win gives up a 4 game lead over the Commanders. If by chance Detriot wins, that'd give us 4 on the Giants, so winning this one is key and keeping focus is key.

The way the fans react toward their football team in no way effects how they perform, except on game day in a loud stadium. Just because some fans think they have accomplished something does not mean the Cowboys themselves do.

:hammer:I could not have said this any better.......:bow:

The coaches are not letting the players "eat the cheese", and if you listen to the players they all say the same thing. "We just try to take it one game at a time and prepare for the next".....the players are well aware of staying focused and not having a let down....just as in New England, where they are eating the humble pie....

We are the DALLAS COWBOYS.Eagles fans may get giddy about being 8-1 but we are the DALLAS COWBOYS and being 8-1 or 15-1 don't mean squat unless we bring home the trophy.We look great but we've accomplished nothing ..... yet.

Everyone on the teams seems to have a good perspective on our current record and the task at hand. I am not worried about them at this point. They are confident but Wade is constantly reminding them that 8 wins, while nice, is not the goal and really doess not mean anything yet.

Does that mean you don't believe in telepathy?

Yes. you are overreacting.

Unless Romo misses several games we're going deep into the playoffs with a chance at the trophy. What more can you ask for?

Not sure I understand your question/concern.

Are you trying to tell us there is no guarantee we make it to the SB?
I think we all know this.

Are you trying to tell us our "overconfidence" can hurt the team?
I'm sure you realize thats silly.

This team is showing all the tell tale sign of a SB team.
8-1 record
Multiple big road wins Chicago, Philly, NY
Offense averaging 32 points a game lead by a QB performing at an MVP level
Defense that appears to be improving weekly

Why shouldn't we be excited and believe this teams going to the SB?
Because there's a "chance" it might not. There's some risk we may get let down. Get our feelings hurt and go BO-HO.

Should I not make plans for the weekend, because there's a chance I dont survive the commute home?

I'm pretty confident , as a matter of fact I'm very confident ,and thats what scares the hell out of me.:eek::

If we lose this game after all the talk here on The zone about how we're going to destroy The forskins, I do believe I'll cut the power to my computer and my throat so I won't have to listen to Riggo and all his cronies.

I couldn't take that:bang2:

What do mean "SOUND" like?:rolleyes:

Hey *******1 take your loser *** and that repulsive team name back over to extremepunks.

Come to think of it why dont we ban that team name. Dont know what the technical term is, but why dont we have that team name show up as a bunch of *******like any other profane or politically incorrect word does?
