After the first month of the season, and after watching 3 Commanders games, and 4 puke games, I can safely say that we are better than Dallas - on paper.
Dallas has a big edge on us at QB (sorry, but Romo is for real), and Oline.
We have a huge edge at RB, Dline, LB, and secondary.
Push is at receiver, TE, and special teams.
Our records are similar, our 1 loss to them being unbeaten isn't that big of a deal. It's a long season.
However... the reason why Dallas gets all the press as being a potential powerhouse, and we don't, comes down to one thing:
Coaching
Dallas has a huge edge in coaching. And, all respect to Gibbs, our coaching is pretty bad.
Dallas crushes teams. They are agressive. They go for the kill. They put their foot on the accelerator, and don't let off. They play football, the players love.
And we don't. We heard in Gibbs last PC that we weren't good enough to blow teams out. Suggesting that rather, we have to keep it close and hope for a chance to win it in the end.
I don't know how he can say that when a team like Dallas, with less talent, can come out and do it.
Here's to hoping that our coaching staff - from top to bottom - does some serious soul searching, tape-watching, philosophy visiting, etc, and we come out swinging for the rest of the season.
Thoughts?
