A team that performs like a bottom-rung team with a HC without vision or toughness should not have its fans speculating about the SB.
Let us worry about winning the NFC East from the Eagles, first. This Eagles are not talented as we, but they are tougher than the Cowboys.
Sitting at 2-2 gives no team a license for aiming higher than its division.
Burma shave.

Let us just agree that the Fellini triptych on the beach --- viola, a Greek chorus, midgets, dishes levitating and a carnival in the background --- was too much for me. As I fled I some words you could not hear: The ocean is no haven, I want to be alone, cruel stranger.
No wonder I was calling out GRETA!!! As you were running...
I have to be honest here: I felt like Marlon Brando in that moment.

Trust me, as long as Jason Garrett is the head coach the vast majority of fans will not be thinking of SuperBowls.

One playoff win in the Wildcard round 8 years into a rebuld.....................BAAAAAAAAAAAWAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAA

You are correct. Other than KC, nobody has looked great.

The final 4 teams last year - NE, GB, Pittsburg, and Falcons all have been inconsistent and beatable.
Perhaps this is a bad start for many teams. The difference might be that Garrett cannot extract all the talent this team possesses. It could be this team is living the legend as marquee, prime time Cowboys but, too, maybe some don't give a Schlitz.

They ... Like me. They really, really like me!
I would like to thank my low-rent friends here, the wards of the courts, the ones on the run and the law-abiding church ladies who sometime enable me.
Further my 3rd grade teacher the tall Miss Marfan who predicted I would scale the heights. When they took her away I cried ....
What ... I have 5 more pages ... I am not finis.....

There! A cold glass of water in the face.
Garrett is our Achilles heel.
Thanks, beast lad.

Blimey! I dunna understand your need to be correct, to have the last word, wayward lad. You were not successful in extracting yourself from your initial misunderstanding of preseason vs. 4 games into the season. So being the forgiving and gracious bloke I am, I forgave you. I even uttered "There, but for the grace of god, go I."
Really, old chap, old noodle, just say you were wrong and, like the snow princess sister LET IT GO. :)

Not fair! You know when you start pulling out this terrible schtick that I'm going to drop the subject just because I find it irritating.

I wasn't pretending we had an inside track to a 'Superbowl' to start with, so there's nothing to be wrong about. That doesn't change the fact that this thread is silliness when it's aimed at a 2-2 team with 12 games to play, and everybody knows it.

I think the Pats are playing for a SB any given week.

Just saying.

The Pats look like they have issues themselves right now. But we all know Belichick will get them ironed out and competitive again eventually. In the meantime, I like seeing the Bills out in front, anyway. That team is playing hard.

.500 is .500. It could go either way. If and when the team is in contention after Nov, that's when we'll see what a playoff run might look like. I we're eliminated before that, then that's another story, but, as I said, nobody is eliminated at 2-2, so pretending we are is another overreaction.
Again, class, not a thread about being out of contention.
Just a cautionary view that talking Super Bowl, though the Cowboys seem at half speed, is laughable.

What distinction is it you think you're making here, Gimme? What distinction is it you think you're making between 'contending' and 'talking Superbowl?' And who's supposedly talking Superbowls in Dallas right now? Like, what single poster has mentioned it going back to the embarrassing butt-kicking we got in Denver in week 2? At what point this year has the team looked in-synch enough that that's even been a remote topic on CZ?

And if absolutely nobody is saying it, and you're not talking about 'contending'....well, why'd you create a thread about it? Are we going to have to endure a guy faking a phony 1920's Brittish/Scottish/hint of Australian accent telling us not to pretend to be the best NFL team ever next? Where's your thread about not claiming 2017 to be an undefeated season any longer? Are we not worried about these things, as well? Or did the imaginary conversations all just stop at Superbowl?
