If you have nothing to add to a converstion it is better to stay silent. Opinions are interesting...you are not.
Cowboys #1 in the NFL with 99 first downs

OHHHHH lol....right. No it is. Its really impressive especially with a rookie QB. You fix this defensive line....yikes. Lawrence is on his way. Let's hope he makes that next step into his career.

Are you sure you're talking about him or yourself? You're 3-1 and you essentially came in here to tell us we have 5 more wins to get then its back to the gutter. What fan thinks like that?

This is a really weird one, but I keep bringing it up in the game chat that we've got to lead the league in 2nd and 1's. We do, in fact, and all of those plays have been runs (15 of them). All other teams have averaged just 3, and no other team has more than 8 so far.
With all those 1st-down plays that come up 1 yard short, we rank 26th in conversion percentage on 1st and 10, but we lead the NFL in conversions on 2nd down, and rank 2nd behind the Jets on 3rd down. We rank 2nd behind the Falcons in conversions on any down -- 49 by the pass, and 45 by the run.
Play selection: 1st-down runs
(as a percentage of total 1st-down plays)
Raiders 63.0%
49ers 60.8%
Vikings 60.2%
Cowboys 57.1%
Texans 56.9%

Dak is carrying this .500 coaching staff. Dude is playing like a freaking stud vet right now. No Dez? No problem. No Tyron Smith? Who cares.
Sketchy defense? Doesn't matter with these long sustainting drives that end in points most of the time.

dude seems to have that IT factor. some players just have it others dont. You cant coach it of course.
coaching staff so far is doing good. very surprised at the adjustments so far that is. we have a whole season to go and we just made it past the 1st quarter in the season so lets see how this plays out.
i especially like what Rod is doing with his group. thats a tough gig.
if the offense keeps this up lots of respect to that coaching staff there. big props. i have always been realistic about our staff and our .500 record. so this is not coming casually at all.
NOT being .500 in the 1st quarter of the season is a welcome change. lets see whats next.

The Cowboys will win Super Bowl 51. #destiny Denver will be a tough out though.
And could someone send this info to Jimmy Johnson. The man has forgotten what winning football looks like.

quite honestly, I'd say it is vital that his game goes to the next level.

Dak is the main reason for all these things.
They are 4th in scoring in NFC also. with 101 points.
In 2014 with romo they had 115 points after 4 and were 3-1
The 3 teams romo beat were titans 2-14,rams 4-12,NO 7-9
SF beat Romo and they turned out 8-8
So Dak has done as good as Romo in 2014, but people want to bench him
in favor of a long dormant Romo who didnt do any better in start of 2014
in fact with no ints, Dak has outdone Romo

Not really so many. MLB. Pass rush.
They are well above avg at all offensive positions and the secondary
If d law can improve the pass rush and they get better play at DT and anyone other than lee shows up at lb they can keep winning.

Meh, the ground game has been the x factor more so than Dak imo. It was a thing of beauty against SF. The line looking like a flank of roman storm troopers and just steam rolling db's. Dak is the captain giving orders no doubt, however... Garret and Linehan deserve atleast a marginal amount of credit for the scheming and philosophy they have in mind. Still a lot of ground to make up for after last years debacle in my eyes, but so far this team has reminded me of the 2014 squad with new pieces.

Impressed with this offense.
