It's been a long time since I felt this good about my team. Some will bring up 2014 but this team seems different and yes I know we still got a long road ahead of us but I'm just enjoying the moment. Im ready to party like it's 1992-1993

Its different in that you have two rookies leading the offense and what that means for the future but for just this year it doesn't feel any different than 2014. Same formula on offense that must carry this team because they have no defense.

Agreed. It's different than 2014. I feel much better about our future and don't fear any collapse. I also like the LEADERSHIP quality we now have and I have far more faith in this team than I ever had with the 2014 team, and they were a very good team. I don't have the "we better win it this year, this is our only shot" feeling. We will be around a lot longer than just this year.

I always feel good being a Cowboys fan.
Even back in 1988 and 1989, I wore my cowboys stuff every where I went.

On Saturdays at work, there were 3 of us. We wore our teams t-shirts every week. And these weren't band wagon fans, these shirts were well worn. My Cowboys, and the other 2, Vikings and Bills.

However 3 guys wore new shirts when Dolphins and Bears and Packers were doing well. This was in South Florida.

But I think that first part equates to all the difference. In 2014, we had the revival of the "Triplets" -- but one had a bad back, leaving us wondering how much longer he had; and the other two were set to be free agents, so we had no idea if they'd even be back.

Having this kind of success with such a young team, for me, makes it all the more fun to enjoy.

Yeah if you're talking about the future it's more encouraging. To compete this year though I don't think this team is in a better position than 2014. In fact, a rookie QB in the playoffs is definitely not something that usually is a plus.

This team is no where close to the 2014 team. It is better, I really never had the confidence in 2014 that we could make it to the promised land with that team. This year I know we have a great chance to do it.

It feels good because we know that our offense is less likely to stall due to unnecessary turnovers and mistakes. And we know if someone goes down, it's okay because the train keeps rolling.

This team is just freaking fun. Watching two young guys play such a pivotal role on a dominant team is great. They aren't just along for the ride... they're a driving force behind the team's resurgence. Seeing how much everyone loves playing with them and how much belief they have in them is a big part of the enjoyment for me.

This team feels different for two reasons. First, both the immediate and long term future look bright so the sting of a playoff loss is blunted due to the new found championship window appearing to be open for the foreseeable future. Second, the inevitable doom of another Romo letdown has been removed. Even the hold out Romo backers have to admit that Dak brings an air of optimism to the team. It is a relief to be optimistic instead of living in perpetual fear of Romo stumbling through another week 17 or playoff crapfest.
