They are also 11 and 4 and I have a feeling that they will be 13 and 4 with 2 of the losses coming in overtime. They are one of the best teams in the league period.
And its time for this fanbase and others to recognize that. Also worth noting that the NFC quarterbacks in the playoffs may be full of the likes of Geno Smith, Purdy, Jalen Hurts, Daniel Jones, Heneicke or Wentz....maybe a past their primes Brady and Rodgers?

At least for the 2022 campaign.

The bigger question is can they in January.

I do know my late season attitude is changing for the better. Now if only they can reignite that pass rush.
You’ll obviously be rooting for them to fail.

uhmmm no, the Bengals were not above 500 when we played them, so that cant count


This is one of my pet peeves.

If you play and beat a team early in the season and they were 1-2, they were an under .500 team.

But if that team then went 13-0, which would make them 14-3, are they still a spare team when you played them? Or did you beat a team that was about to run off 13 straight wins?

What if they put it together the week before you played them, but you were just the better team?

Don’t know if this is just the new Darth Vader you, but that’s just a dumb take. Teams are judged on the season, not the last 15 games. I get the first few games are essentially an extended preseason, but that’s true for Dallas as well as the Bengals.

The College Football Playoff selection committee doesn’t ignore a team’s win in week 2 over an 0-1 team if the later turns out to be a very formidable team.

Why do you insist on being such a toxic presence on this forum?

I certainly hope you are more pleasant and less hateful in your every day life.

come on... in order to be a true Cowboys Zone member, one must twist every possible scenario in a way that makes this team look bad. Fact is the Bengals were horrible when we played them, so that means it was not a quality win for us. Just like beating the Eagles cant count as a quality win because Hurts didnt play, AND we had a late start time. We all know the Eagles arent at their best if they have a 3:25 start time.

I think we'll be 12-5, especially if Philly wins this week. McCarthy might play the starters some against Washington, but probably not for long, and not any that have nicks. The Commoskins most likely will be playing to just make the playoffs unless Seattle, Detroit and Green Bay all lose this week while Washington wins.

Because we're still technically in the hunt for the division crown this week, I think we'll go all out to win Thursday's game (against a Titans team for whom this game is essentially meaningless). But we'll have no reason to play our starters long against the Reddores unless New Orleans upsets Philly.

Anything can happen, though, but that's what I think is most likely.
