Being a hot team vs a great team

We all have eyes and could see this offense was special from day 1. An amazing run game and 2 receivers that are lights out. A quarterback with years of not having this kind of supporting cast. And the best field goal kicker ever. A Chaimpionship level offense. And now we have a defense that was giving up 28 a game, now giving up just over 21 a game. That is a very good defense. This current defense and our offense from the start of the season and we are 11-2 or 12-1 right now. The fact we have such a good team having to win out, means if we do we make the playoffs, we will be soaring, playing at our absolute peak. Yeah, the Cowboys are great and are going to win the superbowl.
 
I agree there is a difference but in the nfl there’s been a plethora of cases of the hottest team winning the Super Bowl- the giants with Eli come to mind in more recent times.

I don’t think we have a Super Bowl team right now and I still think we dug too big a hole to dig out of and run the table but I am rooting like hell
 
The hot team playing at the right time can beat the great team playing poorly at the wrong time.
 
Trust me, the 2007 and 2011 Giants were by no means great teams but they got hot at the right time.

Maybe it's time for Dallas to capture some of that magic.

Or you could just be both.

Yes! How many times have we seen "great" teams do nothing, because they went into the playoffs losing 2-3 in a row? This Cowboys team is indeed great AND hot. And to get into the playoffs they can't let up and that will serve them well getting there and once there.
 
everyone is making a big deal of beating the two teams from the last SB back to back.

Sounds great but NEITHER team is what they were last year

Still it is very common for a very good well coached team getting hot and then getting it done, the Ravens with Flacco getting hot late is the best example I can think of. Excellent D with a very good coach and a QB that got hot at exactly the right time.

The last three wins we have averaged giving up 22 points a game. I will happily take my chances with Dak at 22 or less points a game.

Regular season maybe…. In the playoffs you might need the defense to keep the other team in the teens to win with Dak from past history.
 
There are several flaws with the Cowboys team, but there have been years in the past where the Cowboys had a solid team only to get beat by a "hot" team.

I'm fine with trying it from the other side for a change.

At least if they lose it will be expected and if they somehow win and make it to the playoffs, the journey will be fun.
 
It’s been a very very very long time since a team came out of nowhere and got hot and won a Super Bowl

You can argue TB did it in 2020, but they had Brady and it wasn’t a real shock to anyone

You really have to go back to 2010 w the Packers or even 2007 with the NYG

Maybe the league is due

Guess you’ve completely forgotten 2022 loss to the Niners 17-23 and 2023 12-19. I have very little faith in Dak against a good playoff team
