Don't think Detroit is an easy win.

i can see the narrative now...

get blown out at philly...go to 5-3...team labeled as average and not a contender

reel off 4 in a row weeks 10-13 to go to 9-3....team is a contender again!

get pummeled by eagles in week 14 to drop to 9-4....team back to average

go 1-3 to finish the season (win last game against wash)...limp into playoffs at 10-7...wc exit at SF


its such a typical dallas thing to do.....i really hope they prove me wrong and i am way off

I know the super bowls and all but the Romo 5 int game comeback is possibly the most epic Cowboys-Bills game ever.
Loved his on the field interview after the game...Tony, did you think you had a chance after throwing 4 INTs before the half? He looks at the interviewer and said 4 INTs, that's all it was?

I lol....

Would you take the same view as a fan for your daughter's team?

There is merit to your post. Also, to understand seasonal momentum with attached values, a process of evaluating a comparison base also, from which to have an 'educated' sense about. Buffalo, Miami, and Detroit will first set tone of drive and momentum. I respect the potential of Seattle and they made a trade pick up for some reason. lol
I don’t believe in momentum after watching the 49ers fall apart the last 3 games. The Cowboys currently have a better record than San Francisco. WHO would have thought that 3 weeks ago. Football is so emotional. You have to take games week to week.

One is just observing the fact of momentum upon teams.

Some are shorter than others. It all boils down to team ability to handle all of them as they rise up...play, game, or seasonal path.

Emotion isn't the rudder for a team...dedication and rehearsed techniques dominate.

We have a good team some of us fans don’t want to enjoy the season. This game important but it’s not the end all be all game that some make it out to be.

Continuity. It’s a frequently discussed, yet often underrated factor in life. For the Dallas Cowboys, continuity extends beyond the coaching staff and into the ranks of the players themselves. Continuity on the roster brings familiarity and stability. It provides unspoken connections between teammates which can be enormous for certain aspects of the game.

Continuity helps defenders adjust to motion as they redefine run fits. It helps coverage players understand when and where to pass off assignments. And it helps offensive lines perform as a singular unit in both phases of the game. It’s that last item which seems to be holding the Cowboys back this 2023 season...(but rapidly improving.)

Whether it’s a child’s home life in their developmental years, a business’ leadership structure and core objectives, or a coaching staff’s styles, strategies and playbooks, continuity is an important component.

Things should improve up front if the Cowboys can just keep their linemen on the field together. If they can’t, the continuity concerns will likely continue.


Jerry's real mistake recently was paying the price for his loyalty and continuity of Jason Garrett.

That's a pretty decent ranking.

Some could move up or down a spot or two but it's a solid stab at it

I know there's a joke in there...but alas I have really sunk in my Fandom after the SF game...I have lost faith and really the only way to get it back is going to have Tobe through them beating good teams and actually doing something in the playoffs.

This is the least faith I have had in a team with this good of record ever unfortunately, really hope I'm surprised tomorrow

It’s a weird schedule. The next 5 are tough. The last five are all very winnable. 2-3 and 4-1 is conservative in my opinion.

So…11-6???

Lol. At most. We could easily lose more than three… and still make the playoffs.

I’d say 11 wins plus whatever happens this weekend. But nothing would surprises me.
