I know you try your hardest to never let yourself get high on the cowboys but you need to stop this nonsense. They just held a playoff team (that got improved weapons) from last year to a goose egg. The same team you said this would be a close game against. If you need to see it for 4 months then have at it.
I understand what you are saying, but last year in the Playoffs it was pretty close - and the Cowboys had to play the whole 2nd half without Pollard. I don't believe they are that much better than the Cowboys. The Cowboys team this year is better than lasts, and they played right with them last year.
I’m not about to go overboard after a season opener when we still got 16 games to go. The Giants were gashing us on the ground until they bogged down and we blocked the FG and returned it for a TD. That completely knocked the wind right out of them. The Cowboys played a real good game, but they had every single break go their way and their offense still needs a lot of work. The Cowboys had two huge blowouts within three weeks last season over Minnesota 40-3 and Indianapolis 54-19, then proceeded to struggle against the Texans and lose to Jacksonville the following week after blowing a 17 point lead. Two weeks later in the season finale they were embarrassed by a bad Washington team with a rookie QB making their first NFL start. If you want to start popping the champagne and anointing the team after a season opening win in September go ahead. It doesn’t matter how good a team they currently have, it’s going to come down to how they’re playing in December and January. If they begin the flame out by then it’s going to end up being the same frustrating story. The NFL season is a marathon. The teams that go far in the playoffs and end up in the Super Bowl improve as the season goes on.
Oh, it’s coming. Best get yourself ready. Like Jimmy two times, it will be more than once. Don’t forget your excuses on pay day.
As much as I hate to say it, the Eagles are there too.
Sure was hoping they would’ve lost though.

Not enough attention when you were a child or you are a Whiner fan who loves little Purdy?
No one here is saying there will not be challenging games over the course of the season. No team in the NFC is going undefeated. The Giants are a top half of the conference team. They face the Cardinals this Sunday. D. Jones will think he died and went to heaven compared to this past weekend. If you can’t be happy with the Cowboys’ efforts at MetLife Sunday night than you’re never going to be happy with the Cowboys. Philly, SF, Detroit, New Orleans…NYG, there are a lot of battles ahead. At least allow the Dallas Cowboys got off to a significant start. They are playing well. Real well. I say they beat the Jets 27-6.
Everyone here knows we’re going to have challenging games ahead, but some fans are already booking their Super Bowl tickets. That’s going overboard! Someone posted we’re going 17-0. Maybe they were joking and maybe they were being serious. They sounded pretty serious to me.
We started off 3-0 in 2019 and then I think we lost 4 straight? And that season, the wheels went off and we never recovered.
Understood. But, the Cowboys posted a most convincing win, on the road, against a playoff team from last year. I’m sure Daboll has suggested to his team that now that they’re done patting themselves on the back for winning a playoff game last season it’s time to deal with this season. SF looks extraordinary, even Philly’s bizarre coach has figured out Hurts needs to stop running all over hell’s creation, Detroit, who Philly does not have to play, is actually starting to believe, Carr is playing for the Saints and his brother. No way any QB wants a Super Bowl more than he does. Right now, however, the Niners and Purdy notwithstanding, the Cowboys delivered. 17-0 is ridiculous, but it’s even more ridiculous for 15 other teams.
