With the 2nd best record in the NFL at 10-3 the Cowboys would be in first place in every other division but their own.

Impressive and were doing it 2 years in a row making the playoffs. Winning is all that matters right?
Now can we finally do it in the playoffs

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The record doesn't mean squat if they have to go up against the Eagles or 9ers. Look for the Boys to be ONE and DONE in this year's playoffs if Prescot can't shake the slowwwwwwwwwwww starts.
I think we can beat San Fran on the road.

I can answer that:

-The strengths of the Eagles and the Niners is running the football. Run D is our weakness.
-We are an offense that likes to run the football and our pass game works off of that. Eagles and especially the Niners that is their strength. Niners D is the best in the business
-We will be on the road against both teams
-Niners have our number and are a better coached team and they are poised where the Cowboys are not. Often go to sleep for halves or games.
-You cant be serious thinking the Bengals team we beat is anything like THIS version of the Bengals team. They are NOT.

Bucs rematch, yes I like our chances.
Yea I agree with most of that. One minor point- Eagles have the best passer rating in entire nfl. Only 3 interceptions all season. I haven’t watched all of the Eagles games but what I did watch Hurts was dropping dimes all over the field. I’m really starting to get worried that Michael Irvin was correct when he talked about an eagles dynasty.

Problem with this team is inconsistency, from top to bottom, specially with the QB making mistakes at crucial times, but to be fair CBs, OL, WRs, all of them do it.

D is not as stout as you would think, it flashes, but can they make the big play when needed or will they fold against better competition?

Coaching has its problems too, OC is a Madden player.

DC is a bit of a mad scientist, he can get pressure but can not stop the run.

And the HC makes foolish gambles when is not necessary.

Only way I can see this happening is if they somehow catch fire in the next 5 games, somehow... like the Giants in 2012.
Great post. Texans game was a microcosm of Dak’ s entire season.

Cowboys are not One and Done......that was the old Cowboys......prepare for an 8-game stretch...4 regular season..4 Playoffs and Super Bowl.....our defense and Dak are our greatest weapons.....as poor as

our whole team may have played the first 57 minutes last week.....it was the do or die Dak and cowboys that "Morphed" last sunday..98 yds 3 minutes and no way were we settling for a tying FG.....so the One

and Done crew left last year....not afraid of Philly or 40-Whiners even though on paper they appear superior.....for me its on Dak's shoulders....the old Dak could not carry a team on his shoulders effectively

as Dak goes so goes Cowboys....we have the talent.....i realize we have lost some players and Hankins is Huge loss but hopefully back for playoffs?.....if Vikings can get crushed 33-0 at half and comeback

and win then we certainly can beat Philly and Whiners.....i cannot believe Niners pick very last guy of 7th round and he looks far better than Garrapolo.....this Purdy QB is very good....but Cowboys are not

One and Done this year......No Way
One and done.

Well then, why question me? It's not to each their own if you question another's opinion.....btw, is that Tom Landry on your avatar? I grew up 30 miles from his hometown and I'm 5-0 in the stadium named after him....can't question that.
No, that’s my father in Avatar.

And you’re entitled to your opinion. You sure seem to be judgmental of others but struggle when yours is challenged.

But yea, we can question everything in the public eye.

1 playoff win would be amazing. Beating the Eagles in Philly in the 2nd round would be incredible. But agreed we dont have a championship squad.
they can beat the eagles on a good day.

the problem is there is no telling whether the day will be good or bad for them until the day.

Can’t see it. Teams will figure him out.

"66------ maybe it was beginners luck or something i mean he was the 2022 last player picked and to be a QB on top of it and then to throw blistering ropes so accurately.......i mean it could overcome

the Brady legacy of 6th round= best of all time?....the kid had total ice in his veins and played like a wiley Veteran with strong arm...i so so so so hope you are right.....ever since "the catch" 1981

and Montana said he thought he was throwing ball away.....i have deep dislike for 9ers

i choose we will be like 2011 Giants who started 6-6 finished 9-7 and spanked Brady and won SB 2012.....when Eagles lost their MVP QB of that year 2017 and the back up came in

i dont remember anyone saying the Sheagles would win it all?........winning streaks aint what they use to be.....too many games......anyone this year start off on fire and still on fire?

oh wait yes the Sheagles........the only time i voted for Sheagles to win was when they beat Brady in 2017.....Sheagles are very tough team.....but as long as we have a "shot" is all we need

If this team plays to their capabilities they can beat anyone. The playoffs are about who is playing their best ball while in the tournament. Bengals got hot at the right time last year why can’t we.
