I used to think this was a forum for Cowboys fans. Looks like WFT fans have taken over unfortunately.

How many did the Raiders score against us? How many will they score against WFT? They've won 3 in a row and we've lost 3 of 5. How can you deny they are playing better football that we are right now?

We'll probably beat them, and we should still win the East, but recognizing facts doesn't mean someome is a WFT fan.
 
If that Crosby sack was a penalty earlier then the refs should have to rule that Heinicke play a sack there instead of allowing him keep the play alive. Crosby had Heinicke's leg grabbed, if he had done anything more to bring him down then it would have been a flag...nothing a pass rusher can do there due to the rules to protect the QB.

The lack of faith and confidence in the Cowboys has been well earned over the last 25 years. I love watching the Cowboys and have for 50 years, but I don't draw pride or lack of pride in the performance of a group I have no part in or control over. I take pride in my own accomplishments or those of my family and close friends.

The Raiders also scored 36 on us and have 3 at halftime.

I agree with the return of some good/great players. Gregory is coming back. Hill is coming back. Gallimore. And Washington isn't all that. We should handle them. If all those players come back and we don't lose anyone else, we can beat any team in this league. But we've also proven we can lay an egg and lose to anyone.

But the Washington Football team has had less success than the Cowboys have had in the playoffs and won the division only at 7-9. so what is it about them that gives you some much confidence that they can win the division or close off the season strong, if your lack of confidence on the Cowboys is related to how things have played out for the last 25 years?

This play calling is so garbage

I laugh when we complain about Kellen because other than maybe 1 or 2 playcallers, you’d be surprised at how many are inconsistent and sometimes borderline irrational.

All coaches have their warts and even though we expect NFL coaching to be at a certain standard, it’s wild how many guys are stuck in their ways and ineffective.

Sean Payton and Andy Reid even make head scratching calls on a weekly basis. For example, the Taysom drop back on the Micah sack was stupid at best, Reid during the KC losing streak refused to run more when the two deep coverage called for it. At the end of the day Moore is a top 10ish playcaller and is young and improving. We could be doing a lot worse than him. To be honest, I have 0 idea what his replacement would look like and who available intrigues me more than his development.
 
Wow, 49ers making stupid mistakes. 2 roughing the passer penalties in like 3 or 4 plays.

I have zero confidence the WFT will win the East. I'm solidly on record that we'll win the East and we're the 4 seed. And if everyone comes back and we lose no one else and Zeke gets healthy, we can do some damage.

How long have you been watching ball? You do know what one team does against another has literally zero bearing on what another team did against them.

The WFT is hotter right now sure, but they have a lot of work to do before they are in a place to compete for the division title. I’m not critical of respecting them as a competitive team, but the idea that this is some way above average football team is laughable.

They are an ok team who can play you tough just like they were the whole season. They aren’t a top 12 team in this league and are currently fighting for a 7th seed in the playoffs. They are an average team but this forum is shivering in their boots at the idea of playing them.

I mean look at them right now. Only 85 yards of offense after the first drive and 5 straight punts but some people are acting like they are running away with it in Vegas.

My question to you is, if they lose this game are they suddenly not the team you thought or are they still an OK team who can play you tough as they’ve been all year? If the answer is the latter then all this Washington love makes no sense.

We crushed the Giants in week 5 when we were playing our best football of the season. The Cowboys aren’t the same team now. Washington lost to the Chargers on opening day and lost to New Orleans in week 5. They’re not the same team they were then, they’re a much better football team now. When you’re comparing teams you have to live in the now. The NFL is a week to week league and things can change quick. For the Cowboys it’s been a tale of two seasons and the same for Washington. The Cowboys were a very good team early in the season but they aren’t now. Washington was a bad team early in the season but they appear to be a very good team now. In another week things could change again for both teams. There’s a lot of ups and downs to an NFL season.
