Take away Romo's INT's, And Murray's fumble, even though other teams had their turnovers too.
But did Dallas actually play the better overall ball this first weekend of the East.

Washington did nothing against a not so good Texans team. RG3 harassed all day, defense looked bad, just that Houston couldn't score.

Giants defense looked worse than ours was supposed to have. Eli looked a s bad as Romo, and their overall offense did not look good either.

Eagles defense didn't look all that great, against a poor Jaguars team, and Eagles offense did nothing until Jaquars started screwing up, and got tired. Stupid penalties. But overall they did come back and looked decent even at that. So I won't take that away from them. Still a formidable win as they fought back.

Dallas had a solid game running the ball, and at times passing, until well, Romo had brain farts.
Defense played better than expected, really only gave up 14 points. Yeah, the doomers saying SF let up, ran the ball, blah, blah, blah...even if so, the run defense still did what they were supposed to do, and stopped them mostly in the 2nd half. Still too many wide open receivers in the passing game though.

But overall, I believe we looked the best, with the Eagles a very close 2nd. Giants , then Commanders.

And yes I watched all the games.

Commanders were on regular TV in Houston, I had Eagles on through my slingbox at house back in DFW.
Cowboys on in Houston, then Giants tonight.
So it's not from highlights or reading or just my thoughts.
I did see all 4 games.

guess you didn't read the title ...
and who said anything about moral victories...

but I expect this...

You're making up excuses as to why the Cowboys looked the best. The Eagles won the game, they overcame a terrible start then went on to outscore their opponent 34-0. Every other team in the division, including the Cowboys, lost in embarrassing fashion, and yet you still think the Cowboys looked the best? Ridiculous.

No they didn't, there are no moral victories and they looked just as bad as the Giants and the Commanders.

Did you actually watch all 3 games...just curious...
But disagree they looked as bad as the Giants and the Commanders...but I know you don't think so, but that's your norm..

Romo looked the worst out of all Qbs and he has the best Oline. Thats just where we are at right now.

This guy wants to have a word with you......

No not making excuses, just my opinions. And did say I give the Eagles credit for the comeback.

Yes, I watched all 3 and all 3 were equally pathetic. The Cowboys were probably least of the pathetic between the 3 but were still pathetic.

Id say the cowboys looked the worst of the 4 but they also played the best team. But the eagles were getting blown out and came back. Dallas got blown out so bad the 49ers shut it off at the half and coasted. But dallas isnt near a top team so this was expected.

As long as we are taking away all that, let's take away the L and replace it with a W. Heck, the Cowboys might look like the best team in the NFC. :p

Yes you did but the Cowboys didn't look better than the Eagles.

Hence the thread title, was asking a question for discussion. IMO, I think the Cowboys overall may have been slightly better. But can see the Eagles right there, because they came back to win. They were bad in the first half, just bad play all the way around. The Cowboys were bad because thy dug themselves a hole.
