I just love how SAS and Ryan Clark walk out when Max Kellerman says he thinks we might not even make the playoffs.

Right now only ready to talk about game vs Philly do not even want to think about the S word. As far as I will go with SB talk is we have a better chance than some and not as good as others.

I could care less about anyone's opinion in that video not named Ryan Clark, but what's funny is they're acting like the NFC is full of dominant teams. Our defense is far from dominant, but they're playing better than Atlanta's. Minnesota and Seattle's defenses are dominant, but neither one of their offenses are doing anything special.


Out of all those teams, we're the only one with a top 10 scoring offense and scoring defense.

It's too early to determine this for any team. We are not even at the halfway point. Things change in the league.

Remember when the Eagles defense was said to be one of the best in the league, Wentz was great and they were one of the top teams? They have came back down to earth. On the flipside, people had the Skins left for dead and now they are 4-2. Lions are now 3-3. Remember when the Bengals were one of the top teams in the AFC? they have been dominated 2 weeks in a row. Steelers have also came back down to earth. Same as the Ravens.

By about Week 10, you should then start to see the picture unfold as who is really the contenders and whom were the pretenders.

To answer the OP, a lot of national media are calling the Cowboys SB contenders. First take, undisputed, and Tony Dungy on Sunday Night Fooball just to name a few. I don't blame them lol......the Cowboys looking great! :yourock:

0 rookie QBs have won a Super Bowl.

No, we are not Super Bowl contenders, it's highly unlikely we break that long standing trend.

That doesn't mean it couldn't happen. I don't think it will, but I don't think that fact matters.

Well, we're 5-1 and Tony plays as well as anyone in November and December. I think this may be our year to finally get to the big game.

Yet, all the stats of yester-year and such, there is still a guy who is getting healthy, that can flat ball when it comes to the passing game, and we have seen his turnovers be controlled as in 2014 by a ball control run game.

I have stated I think Romo will eventually get injured if he starts. Not because i hate him, as some suggest. But because teams know his age and history and will be gunning for him,.

However, Dak has talents Romo no longer has in mobility.

But, Romo can flat sling that footbnall. (Assuming he is still the Romo we have known.)

So what happens if a team prepares to play Dak and his shorter passing game, and Romo comes out and throws deep?

Not saying this will happen, but it sure is interesting that these two guys have similarities, but differences a defense will need to overcome. If you don't know who starts, how do you adequately prepare?

Just sayin'.

The best way to beat the Falcons is to keep them off the field, who is better right now at doing that then Dallas? Plus I don't think they realize Dallas has the #2 offense behind Atlanta as well.

Seattle is good, but they just don't match up well vs Dallas. Just look at the preseason and 2014. They don't scare me.

Ryan Clark is the only one offering a legit analysis.
