Haven't beaten team with winning record

[BotchedLobotomy]

There are only 11 teams in the NFL with a winning record right now, including the Cowboys.

The Seahawks are 3-3 instead of 4-2 because the Cowboys beat them.

The Giants are 3-4 instead of 4-3 because the Cowboys beat them.

All true.......

But I think yesterday was a big step. This game had trap written all over it....and this team found a way to rise to the occassion. Even though they didn't play that great....in the past this would have been a game we would have found a way to lose. I'm slowly starting to believe. Everything is falling in our favor this year. Let's just hope the good fortune continues.

i've said it before.. no such thing as a trap game when you haven't won anything serious in 19 years..

What happens a lot of the time with this that gets overlooked is the teams don't have a winning record because your team defeated them, like you mentioned with SF.

For instance, the Texans would be 4-2 if they had not lost to Dallas, the Giants would be 4-3 and the Seahawks 4-2. So let's celebrate for now the fact that we kept those teams from having winning records.

This is true. In fact, if we had lost to all the teams that we've beaten thus far, only Tennessee would have a losing record at 3-4. All other teams would either be .500 or have a winning record.

All you can do is beat the opponent in front of you. The Cowboys can't and won't apologize for who their opponents have been.

The Cowboys have contributed to the .500 or losing records of their opponents by beating them. Enjoy the ride - it has been a long time coming.

Looks like someone is looking for attention

 

[JohnnyHopkins]

They haven't lost to any teams with losing records either.

Our win margins are telling:

TN - 16 points
STL - 3 points
NO - 21 points
HOU - 3 points
SEA - 7 points
NYG - 10 points

We're averaging winning by 10 points, or better put two scores. That's solid.

We've won in every fashion - blowout, comeback, overtime, methodical, etc.

 

[hornitosmonster]

Huge fail.

 

[Stinger_Splash]

Shut up loser.

 

[CowboyGil]

OMGG!!!

Obviously we are playing fantastic, but 7 games into the season none of the teams we have beaten have a winning record.

SF is the only team we have played with a winning record. A lot of reasons we lost that game and perhaps we should have beaten them. But let's say we do win that game then SF doesn't have a winning record either.

We have Arizona, Indy, and the Eagles twice left on our schedule. The season is in front of us. We haven't done anything yet.

Play who is on the schedule. Thats all they can do.

 

[HoosierCowboy]

our opponents have more wins than the eagles opponents

Agreed. We also won some games making mistakes that normally results in a loss. Another big positive.

Funny thing about the reaction here is that I didn't claim that weren't playing great or that we aren't good. I'm simply suggesting that our second half schedule is looking much tougher than the first half was. If we split with Philly and lose to Arizona and Indy we would be 12-4 and going to the playoffs, but where would we stand?

We would probably be 1-3 against playoff teams.

OK - but when you start a thread saying "we haven't done anything" on a Monday morning after yet another nice win you can expect to be jumped on. For Pete's sake for the first time in years we have something to be excited about week after week.

That's fair and I probably didn't think that title through.

You had a bowl full of stupid for breakfast, didn't you?

Just stop. The more you post, the less brain cells live on this board.

In 1972, the Miami Dolphins went undefeated, and won the Super Bowl.

In the regular season, they only beat two teams with a winning record.

Does that diminish the feat? Or were they still undefeated and the World Champions?

The fact that a trolling thread was started and has gone three pages is annoying. Two suggestions. 1. Stop feeding him. 2. Think twice before posting a thread like this again. We are not here to satisfy your need for attention.
