I was so, so very wrong. This team IS different.

great win, but the penalty bug came back after a one game absence. 11 penalties is unacceptable, and i wish wade would have addressed it during his press conference.

I like the fact that Philthy has another tough game next week against the Chargers who just beat the Giants.

The Giants have a bye week this week and then face the Bears....who knows how that'll turn out.

Meanwhile, we have Green Bay and then Washington....we just need to keep playing tough and play our type of game and we can extend our lead in this division over the next couple of weeks.

I think this team is different. They just seem to believe and fight to the end. We'll see. If we're sitting 9-2 after Thanksgiving I'll really like our chances.

THis was a game we usually lose...Instead we came out and proved everybody wrong. Everybody had us beat. Middle finger to the haters.

I've been very hard on this team and its coaches, and rightfully so. Two weeks ago, I said I was impressed but not ready to say this team was any different.

Well, tonight they proved me wrong on all fronts. This team is very different from the ones the last two years that crumped in the face of adversity. They are mentally and physically tough, and while there are still stupid penalties and mistakes, we finally have a group with the mindset to overcome them.

You won't hear anything negative from me again this season, because this team has gone out of their way to prove me wrong. I don't understand it, I have no idea how they changed their ways, but they did, and tonight they showed the entire nation what they are made of.
Welcome to the bandwagon.

The change has been slow and steady. Now everyone who wasn't really paying attention (most mediots) can see we are a different team.

If we beat the 15-0 Saints then wow..just wow..

Great win tonight.
The Saints won't even be sniffing 15-0.

I'm a firm believer that both undefeated teams in the league aren't even the best in their conference.

I think the perpetually negative ninnies who call themselves fans should just go away.

But it's a free country and I guess it's a big enough tent for fans of all kinds.

I just would be ashamed of myself to criticize players and coaches the way some fans do.

I have to admit to being one of the negative people but I'm good for the season now. They're playing hard and I'm proud of them. That's all I really ask for. Well that and beating the eagles.....my eagles fan brother hasn't even called to congratulate me yet. For that, I'm emailing him that pic in the foolhardy thread :)

Romo seems like a different guy lately. He protected the ball tonight and still made plays! This has always been the key to this guy taking off! imo.

You know what, if you watch the way this team has acted this season, I'm not sure if this is all too surprising. This team actually seems to enjoy playing with each other, and they seem to approach each game with the right attitude, two things I don't think we could say in prior seasons. I think this team buys into the team concept more than ever. Now in and of itself, that's not enough to win you a super bowl, but it is a start. At the very least, I don't see this season ending in as frustrating of a manner as the last few seasons, for whatever that's worth.

I'm very excited after this win and very, very high on this year's team (have been growing progressively more excited). And I do think this year's team is different, but not because of tonight's win necessarily. This is the kind of game the 2007 and 2008 Cowboys could and did win, so I don't think this game singularly proves anything. But after watching 8 games as a collective whole, I see a team that has a different approach on both sides of the ball -- they're relentless defensively and selfless offensively.
