As good a win as it was against Seattle, and as good as this win streak looks in the standings the Cowboys have played pretty sloppy football when it comes to turnovers. I have faith in this team and coaching staff to clean that stuff up though and for now I think just continuing to lean on that O-line will keep the wins coming. I'm looking forward to seeing how this team looks once they really get rolling, and when they get tho

I'm just waiting for our DL to start showing up and finishing with sacks. We are getting more pressure it seems everyweek, but just miss out on the sack. So yes they haven't peaked yet. Get Carter back for the LB, and in 3 more games we get DLawrence.

They offense we have built and the way we play offense is a recipe for beating anyone even if you're not having your best day, we really don't need to peak as long as we are healthy we will give anyone fits

Wilson is shifty like tony and hard to get ahold of. Pressure is almost as good as a sack vs. him. I was thoroughly happy with the pressure they were getting.

I would like this team to start rolling in December.

thats the key. and i think it is very possible. this team is making plays, but i get the sence they still are'nt playing their best football yet. and thats scarey for opponents. if we can get the turnovers cleaned up this team could be really dominate. i thought the hawks would be able to stop out run from being effective. they could'nt and if they can't not many teams out there are going to be able too.

Other than fumbling the freaking football, this team isn't really doing much wrong right now.

Despite the TO's we're playing really good. I can't wait to have some fresh legs on the line come December.

Lawrence, Brent, and Okoye on top of
of Spencer, Selvie, Mincey, Crawford, Melton, Hayden, Coleman make for a solid rotation.

Pass rush downs

Lawrence, Melton, Crawford, and Spencer

I agree Dallas has yet to play a clean game but I do see improvement week to week. Nice to be 5-1 beating the SB champs at their house and knowing we can still play better ball.

Exactly. This team has room for improvement and we can see Spencer being more active now and Lawrence will be back soon, plus Carter.

To go into Seattle and win with turnovers and a blocked punt says a lot about the resiliency of these guys. It is a joy to watch.

Spence had a ridiculous game. He contained Wilson almost single handedly.

He was held a lot too.........

Two areas I would like to see improvement as we get deeper into the season. Better at closing teams out. There has been unnecessary drama at the end of the games that could have been eliminated with getting first downs. The other is the turnovers. Just way too many fumbles coming from the Offense and Special Teams.

That was big, containing Wilson as they did was awesome. Wilson has been killing teams with that outside run and Dallas contained him as well as the Jet sweep they love to use with Harvin.
Harvin on the day 6 touches run/pass for -1 yards.

I don't feel this team has peaked yet. Despite playing really well and getting a big W there yesterday we got sloppy.

Two TO's that let the Seahawks regain the momentum in the second half. We had the game entirely in hand, had then shut down offensively, everything until the muffed punt.

We can't make mistakes like that on a regular basis.

The Pass rush does seem to be getting in there more and more for pressures now. It's not showing up with sacks but I beleive they're coming. They've been getting so close the last couple of weeks.

We're playing the right way. This offense isn't dependent upon playing in September or playing January, playing outdoors or playing indoors, playing in the rain or playing in the heat. This offense can play ANYWHERE and ANYTIME. And with a veteran quarterback and a scrappy defense, we'll be tough to beat down the stretch.

I agree with that but I do think in this game the DE were more focused on containing Wilson than they were about selling out on the pass. Watching Wilson it seem many of his big plays come off his ability to get outside and run or pass. Dallas did not allow that to happen.

Absolutely.

They played very smart football yesterday. They made him beat them with his arm instead of his legs. They played him exactly how I would like to see them play a guy like that.
