It was not pretty but we learned a lot

They won't have a winning record at the end of the year. They aren't a good team. You're embarrassing yourself at this point.

Not so fast.

If Foster stays healthy and they get Clowney back they just might. They play Tenn, Indy, and Jax twice, they get Cinn, Philly and Balt at home, and Cle and Pitt on the road.

I see them winning 2-4 of those games. Again, they aren't a good team. Let's quit living in fantasy land.

Maybe this team is turning the corner, we are winning the games we are supposed to and winning games some thin we shouldn't. After NO play this week I think they may be falling into the "lesser" competition column this year and Texans is a game we should have won and did even though we had to get creative. To make the playoffs though we need to win some of those games we "should" not be winning, Seattle would be a great test for this team. I think the aura around them is over hyped and I think our OL mathces up with their DL very well and I think our receivers are push against their secondary. Ultimately we need to keep wilson throwing short and tackling and not let him get it to Harvin.

But I still think they had a top 5 defense. And last year was just a series of unfortunate events. They're a much better team than that. They're probably somewhere between what they were last year and what they were the year before.

I want to agree with you but they've beaten RG3, David Carr and EJ Manual. Giants and Cowboys both put over 400yds on them. Outside of the Colts their division stinks, so they have a chance to finish around .500

If I said we would have a 4 game winning streak at some point during this season, I would've been banned.

I'm seeing a team that is finding ways to win and most importantly these guys are playing for each other.

I have no room for complaints.

I hear ya....

It is fun watching the games again, it had been awhile...

The good plays are by far outnumbering the face palm plays

Near fact is last few seasons and Dallas finds a way to lose this game. This season, the team is finding ways to win. So far the weakness has really been the offense. Defense far, far outperforming expectations and without great defense today - Dallas loses by double-digits.

Impressive offense at times, just not consistent due to avoidable turnovers.

Still, didn't expect to be 4-1 at this point, so I'll take it. Romo finally looking like a guy that can move in the pocket the last few weeks which is huge.

Top 5? They were 7th in yards, last in turnovers, and 24th in points allowed.

1 year removed from having the worst record in football.

2 years removed from being 12 and 4.

The difference is/was the QB position my friend. They are a good team with a ? at QB.

They're better than their record from last year. They had a complete meltdown as the whole team gave up on the coaching staff. I believe they went 2-0 then 0-14.

Also, 24th in points allowed isn't really fair when your own QB throws a touchdown against you every week.

They could easily win more than four of those. With Clowney back, that's a huge addition to that DL, too. As Tony said today, that was the best defense we've faced so far this season. They aren't a good offensive team, but that doesn't mean they can't win their share of games.

Saying an over-500 team going into week 6 is going to be over 500 in week 17 is not exactly fantasy land. Especially with four games left against TEN and JAX.

I think the difference is getting Foster back at full speed, he negates the pedestrian QB play and certainly rests the defense more than most of you are providing credit. That team did a good job handling Murray and they made it so Romo had little time to meditate back in the pocket, which allowed their subpar secondary to not be exposed.
