Only 3 teams in the NFL w/out wins vs a team above .500, bears, NYG, Dallas Cowboys

[Carson]

Lol.

We have played two teams over .500. The two teams we played are the absolute best teams in football

This can't be posted in the one of the other 100 threads or similar threads?

Whiny fans.
Just enjoy the 8-3 record so far. You beat up teams on your schedule to get to the playoffs. Then be happy you are in the playoffs.
Then go from there.

Dallas is undefeated at home against teams with a winning record
Dallas is also undefeated on the road on turf against teams with a winning record

Again when fans get angry about the media hatred towards the boys look no further than that. Yes boys are playing well, but what do we really know now that’s different from the embarrassment in SF.

and the narrative is going to continue until we beat a team with a winning record.

Won’t be next week. Seattle is 6-5 so when we beat them they fall to 6-6

what does it matter what anybody says? It doesn't unless you're an emotional little kid. shrugs.

Halloween in long gone. You trying to scare us?

exactly, how is that going to count? and what if they end up 9-7.

 

[rambo2]

And lost, that’s the point

The Cowboys are good period.

 

[Vanilla2]

It will show a lot more then what we have seen so far..

We?

They have to move the goalpost to fit their narrative

I call it goal post on wheels.

When is this thread going to get shut down for spreading lies?

Yeah I was just looking and the Dolphins, Titans, Raiders, Commanders and Saints haven't beaten a team currently above .500 either.

And lost, that’s the point

Context matters though. Beating a 6-5 Vikings team at home (for example) isn't the same as playing the 49ers and Eagles on the road.

The hilarious thing is the Jets were 1-0 when they played the Cowboys during Week 2 and got destroyed. Doesn't that destroy this thread's false notice?

Our 5 game second and "real" season begins now...

The obsession here by a few, even a mod, on their never ending quest to regulate opinion or pull the victim card is immaturity at its finest, I tell ya Cap.

The Giants were supposed to be a contender for a playoff spot when the Cowboys destroyed them 40 to 0.

Who we have beaten so far this year really means nothing to me. Its who we have to play come the playoffs. All of those teams will be good (well except for the lucky break we got last year when we got to play Tampa who was probably the worst team to ever be in the playoffs) we will have no excuses then. It doesn't matter who we have beaten or lost to in the regular season if we do our usual one and done in the playoffs.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

I hear it here a million times, it doesn't matter until the playoffs. So what will a couple of wins against .500 teams do?

It would validate that you're actually a good team.

- The combined winning percentage of the opponents the Cowboys have beaten this year is .289 (22-51)
- The combined winning percentage of the teams that have beaten the Cowboys is .593 (19-13)

Wins are wins and you should beat the team that's on the schedule, but you can't pretend like context doesn't matter, because it does.

 

[G2]

This is a ridiculous attempt at a point.

Beating a team contributes to their lower winning percentage. Good God People, at least try to enjoy the journey.
