Hearing this argument on talk shows, opposing fan bases, pre-games Etc is getting played. Teams choose to build they way they build. The funny thing is when the Cowboys play to there strengths you hear tons of excuses and complaining come out:

1) QB has all day to throw
2) Cowboys O-line gets no holding calls thrown against them since there considered the best O-line in football
3) My grandmother could run through that line
4) Insert the excuse you have heard !

I realize its a Cowboy thing but

Every team chooses to build there identity:

1) Seahawks - Defense
2) Patriots - Brady and belicheat ( ooops sorry for the typo )
3) Steelers- Offense
4) Chiefs - Balance
5) Broncos - Defense

etc etc etc

Garrett chose to build this team to be like the 90's teams he played on - Only thing left is to shore up the D which i believe will be addressed next draft hard.

Note to the NFC East and Rest of the League no need to hate, no need to complain when you get bullied all over the field, you chose your identity we chose ours, we decided to buck conventional NFL thinking and went back to the old school smash mouth football which supposedly was outdated and dead. Hmmmmm guess its not dead. Get your Popcorn Ready :popcorn: here we come !

Building a great Oline so star players can shine is what allowed the Cowboys to earn 3 Super Bowls. No matter how much people say the game has changed the one thing that never has changed is games are won and lost at the line of scrimmage.

We are 5-1 and they just can't admit that we may have a good team...so they use the reasoning it's our OL...well,ok...too freaking bad...last I heard it is the ultimate team sport.
But hey, let them tell themselves what they want...as long as we keep winning.

Cowboys on the rise again is very tough for especially NFC east fan bases to accept. We have waited awhile time to bask in the glory of the phoenix rising again

Especially nowadays with how athletic Dlines are with the way the league is geared towards passing the ball so trench play on both sides are paramount in disrupting the QB, and protecting the QB in this case for the Cowboys Oline, they have the best of both worlds when it comes to run blocking and pass blocking as we know and you're right Dooms the oline is reminiscent of the 90s Cowboys but only more athletic.

Donavan McNabb lifelong Cowboy hater says it's just because of our o-line that we're good. When he was QBing he had some pretty good o-lines as well. If his coach went to him and said "Donavan we can improve or o-line or make it worse what would you like to do?" I wonder what he would have said.

We had the OL and Tripletts before and after we had the top defense.

If you look at most of the teams are winning championships with great defenses . Even the Brady and Rodgers their best teams were with great defenses. There's rare exceptions.

If you look back on our glory years we had some great eras and consistent seasons but those championships were won with great defenses.

Great offense can keep you a contender for years and competiting for championships but great defenses usually can close the deal. It takes a combination of both actually.

The lowest ranked defense to win a SB this era was 12th ranked with#1 offense. Only one not in top 10.

To be fair, Cowboys fans do the same thing talking about other teams. Many people think other teams are crap for some reason or another.
