We haven't done anything? We beat 3 of the top 5 ranked offenses, we beat the #2 ranked offense and heavy favorite in their house, we've been heavy underdogs in every game, we beat the #3 and #5 ranked passing teams, even though we have the 23rd ranked pass defense, we beat 3 of the top 4 passing teams, we beat the #9 and #11 defense.
Actually, you were favored against Arizona and were only 4 point dogs to New Orleans.
Dallas beat Philly (A team most still consider better than Washington) in the only game in which they've been relatively healthy so far this year and beat Green Bay, a team expected to have their division wrapped up sometime in November, by double digits in their house.
Seriously, you're as bad as the BSPN we all hate. Pull your head out of the sand and let the truth set you free.
The truth is Dallas has beaten two very good teams, Washington has beaten one
No matter what you think of the Commanders, any of you saying they're mediocre, overrated, haven't done anything, etc. are completely out of touch. I despise the Cowboys, but I don't point out the obvious. I will now though.....
No one thinks highly enough of you yet to consitute you being "overrated"
Dallas first beat the Browns
I'd be willing to bet that most fans predicted a slaughter, somewhere along the lines of 45-0. I know I expected Dallas to win by at least 30, but they didn't.
That's just BS. Cleveland was a team that many expected to challenge for their division and everyone expected them to make the playoffs. Nobody, not even you, thought we would win by 30.
Even so, we dominated the game and threw a pick from the 2 yard line. Cleveland's only TD drive was allowed because of 35 yards of penalties, 25 of which were completely bogus and gave them first downs on 3rd down. The score could have easily (and should have been) 35-3, and that's even with us letting off the gas and running out the last 12 minutes.
Then you squeaked by the Eagles. Anyone who watched the game knows it was just 1 play from an Eagles win.
Dallas handed Philly 17 points on dumb mistakes, whereas Dallas scored all but 7 points on long offensive drives. We didnt get any gifts like they got with Romo fumbling in the endzone or Dallas failing to pick up Jackson's fumble. The fact that we still won is a testement to how good we are.
For the record, Dallas was one play away from beating Washington last week. If Sam Hurd holds onto that onside kick, we easily get down and kick the winnign FG. See, it works both ways.
Then in a game now realized to be overhyped because the Packers are falling apart, you win and find out later they aren't really even good. They have the #26 defense, you have one of the top offenses, you should have won that by 20-30 points as well.
This is the NFL, 20-30 point wins arent that common
If you want to play that game, Washington should have blown out Arizona. They have a horrid defense and no running game.
Then the Commanders come to town. The only team to this point that you faced that has a winning record. Seeing as how it was Zorn's first game against Dallas, blowout was predicted far and wide, and you were 11 point favorites, you should have won easy if you believed your own hype.
We played horribly and Washington played great. No one is denying that you beat us. Don't pretend like you beat us on our best day by any stretch, though.
So, I pointed out what the Cowboys have and haven't done, which is far less impressive than the Commanders accomplishments so far this season, and somehow I still think you guys have a really good team. I have plenty of reason to call them mediocre, and bash them but I don't do it.
Like I said, Dallas has beaten two playoff teams, including a team most consider one of the 5-6 best in the league, and pounded a team they should have pounded. Washington has beaten one playoff team and almost lost to the two who wont be playing in january (at home, no less).
You can think the Commanders are a subpar team that hasn't done anything all you want. Fact of the matter is, you have NOTHING to back that claim up with.
That's fine if you think that. Hope you guys win today for your sake, because you and Philly will be battling it out for 3rd place all season.
