NFL ratings are down, not a good thing for the NFL. Cowboys winning brings the league better ratings. Glad I bought that ticket in Reno this summer crossing the country on my Harley. 15-1 that Cowboys win the super bowl. Will be a fun ride next summer going to Reno and cashing in that ticket.

If you believe in conspiracy theories, then you have to be excited for the Boys this year. With the ratings down significantly, the best way to boost them would be for the Boys to at the minimum make the Super Bowl. If the NFL is crooked, I believe the Boys will do really great things this year.

Hopefully we will do really great things even if the NFL isn't crooked though

Of course it's more complicated but @Bullflop has a point. The two rookies have ignited the whole franchise from the water boy to the owner. Nothing wrong with saying it.
I didnt comment because it was wrong to say. I commented because it was inaccurate.
Linehan's play calling has been great but I wont say Linehan "is the reason we are winning." Its a discredit to what the rest of the team is doing.

Lol, on the defensive side of ball...it's truly a group of no-names. The 'no names' dominated!

Still trying to figure out who Zeke reminds me of. Closest thing I can remember for the Cowboys is Duane Thomas. Still not quite it though.

My best guess so far is Curtis Martin. Both of those guys are fairly close esp Martin but still thinking someone else.

Anyone got any idea?

... that a team has had a quarterback with a passer rating of 110.0 or higher in four consecutive games AND a running back with 130 rushing yards or more in the same four games. That's not just rookies -- that's ANY quarterback-running back tandem.

Dak Prescott's passer ratings in the past four games -- 123.6, 114.7, 117.9, 117.4

Ezekiel Elliott's rushing yards in those games -- 140, 138, 134, 157
Beautiful stuff!

I think building a winning football team is a little more complicated than that.

I never suggested that Dak and Elliott was a cure-all for everything that ails this team. I just think it's a step in the right direction. Do you have an issue with that?

Of course it is -- I just happen to think it's a step in the right direction. Is that a problem for you somehow?

I agree with this. If that is what you meant then no it isn't a problem. My apologies!

This year, yes, next year it may start all over again if Romo is gone.


You forget about Sanchez ...

... or Simple Jack who is on IR

How about Terrell Davis circa 1998? That guy was a beast and a good pass blocker. Every down back, too.

I did forget about Sanchez,,, keeping him around would be a good thing IMO.
